Dear Nintendo: Fix your servers.

So well over a year ago, I applied for an in-house localization position at Nintendo focused on Latin America and Mexico. They sent me a rejection letter earlier this afternoon. I'm confused at the lag time, but I'll keep looking for opportunities.

@boba_witch I've found the same! Am currently dealing with Nintendo 'cause I keep getting the "game card can't be read" error on my OLED - literally zero problems with my old Switch, but I've had to send this one off 3 times in 4 months to be repaired 🤡

@NintendoAmerica Although, I'm sad that I have to restart collecting new clothes. I don't mind the leveling part, but the clothes is a big issue. It really took me forever to get all of my cool clothes.

@VictorFioriHD Problem is if Nintendo would put up M-rated games on the Switch Online Apps.

@Aclysmic_RBLX @OiMonsuta @OGG1993 No, Nintendo isn’t beating anyone. We’re talking about PlayStation dominance now that supply chain issues for Sony has been fixed. Nintendo tried DESPERATELY to keep the PS5 from being produced in large numbers. That only increased demand. No wonder Switches are being trashed.

@boba_witch My first switch was broken outta the box, power button didn't work and it overheated like crazy. I had to send it back and accidentally left my copy of Mario Kart inside when I posted it... Homie at Nintendo reimbursed me an extra 30 bucks alongside the switch price, King ****

Hey @GuliKitDesign, I've got 2 problems with your King Kong Pro 2 controller for the Nintendo Switch. My first problem is: My A button is still randomly sticking even after we replaced the buttons twice. My second problem is: Now the + Button is randomly not responding. Help!

@J____Ash @Wario64 Lot easier to do when Nintendo’s broken store doesn’t hog all of them. Yes, I am still mad; why do you ask?

Do you need the Nintendo subscription service to play splatoon 3?

The other thing is, cloud games *need* to be tied to a “Netflix-for-games” style service. The idea that I need to pay *full price* for Cloud-based games (looking at you Nintendo Switch & Google Stadia) is ridiculous

(@SilentCobra04) reported
@InvaderTAK @VictorFioriHD I don't see that being much of an issue anymore because Nintendo has uncensored anime degenerate weeb games on the Switch. Sony became the prude and Nintendo is now the cool uncle, if you will.

@gamerboiprince @TheOgEVG @GenePark How exactly do you play Splatoon 3 multiplayer, access the live service updates, play the events, etc on a Steam Deck which cannot use Nintendo's network?

@videogamedeals Interesting Amazon has the Nintendo one for $36 and now it went back to $39 the regular price , I guess that was price error

Kytes 💖SPLATOON 3 SPOILERS🦑
(@kidkytes) reported
First Splatoon match of the day is on Hammerhead Bridge, a map I really like. 15 seconds in I get a communication error, because of course I do. So as punishment for Nintendo still not even knowing what the internet is, I'm only allowed to play on Eeltail Alley now 🙃

Love that the latest Switch update made my wifi non-discoverable & all customer support could say was send it in to "fix". My connection was just fine before update 15.0, I've tried every fix & it happened on two consoles. This ain't a me issue. @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica

@Munvasen @platinumgames The problem is that 2 and 3 are NOT console exclusives. They’re NINTENDO (Switch) exclusives!

@ecommerceshares Maybe with Nintendo designs, it will be easy to attract/engage boomers/gen X. Digital natives won't have any problem with any kind of (future) designs. Or maybe it's just a shitco...

@DarthBuzzard @quikkdraww @wongmjane With RTX 4090 yeah maybe it's possible. Problem is that headsets are far from being able to support such fidelity. This would be like running Cyberpunk 2077 in ultra high settings on a desktop and saying this will run on a Nintendo Switch.

@Calirex011 Lastly, the world problems thing is weird. The same could be said about PlayStation, Microsoft, and Nintendo in terms of money being put toward solving issues.
