    @babano22 @TAHK0 I always expected Switch 2 in 2023 given Nintendo's statements, early 2024 at the latest because of potential Covid issues.

  • Zapzipzim Mandolinpickin (@Zapzipzim) reported

    @jamie2181 Get you a Nintendo Switch. Problem solved.

  • CoIndustries Black Co Industries (@CoIndustries) reported

  • PjCFrink92 PJCSkullKid (@PjCFrink92) reported

    @Cesar_is_phat @GoNintendoTweet I did not ever say it was a bad thing. Indie support is good. The problem is just that Nintendo focuses on it way too much, especially when they got their own IPs to focus on and support.

    @exzisd @iFireMonkey nintendo switch graphics hitting different, jk but it’s prolly just a bug they are going to fix soon

  • SuperSwagGuyYT SuperSwagGuy + Bowser's Drip (@SuperSwagGuyYT) reported

    @Anything4Orbs @littlemacguy @NintendoAmerica Why do people act like peer to peer is some godforsaken evil, yeah your Switch is connecting to another Switch instead of both of them connecting to a dedicated server, big deal. In what world would a company modernizing decade-old servers not make their online service better?

  • LuxioWahn Luxx (@LuxioWahn) reported

    @dr_drew123 @Anything4Orbs @itbetheplantman It's not proving anything, of course early footage of online will show no lag, when everyone will be able to play it it will be a lag mess litteraly like all other nintendo online game sadly

  • julesdwjones jules (@julesdwjones) reported

    @janine_is_mean @animalcrossing @nintendo has a major dodo code glitch for multi players.. the game will disconnect and send everyone home without their items if someone leaves by pressing the - to leave instead of the airport or if someone’s internet goes out or itll either have a full queue

  • mwilliams119 ₰ TK Mikey (@mwilliams119) reported

    @PaladinsGame I need some advice. What do you (my Nintendo Switch brothers and sisters) do with software errors? I’ve been getting them still and the only short fix I can do that seems to manage it is restarting the console every 4-5 games. Is it the console itself that needs to be repaired?

  • moca_alt02 moca (@moca_alt02) reported

    @AboutNintendo @RikuSSBM Their problem is with the person who post a censored tweet on their gimmick account made for fun that is not even intended to be some statement in favor of Nintendo

  • mario7373 mario737 (@mario7373) reported

    @ChadGrenier Do we need On the Nintendo Switch the online Service for Apex Legends?

  • silva_splat Ish (@silva_splat) reported

    @Obibi_96 Same thing happened to me. I’m sure Nintendo will fix it but I just bought a new one. The controller lasted for 4 years almost so it was a good run lol

  • TrueBrenden060 🐱The-True-Brenden060 + bowsers fury🐱 (@TrueBrenden060) reported

    @xorosalinaox @Bulbidavid @NintendoAmerica not my problem, just dont reply to the hate tweets, simple

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @littlemacguy @NintendoAmerica That isn’t going to fix anything since its peer to peer connection

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The game lags so bad, fix your online

  • MarioFair3489 Mario (@MarioFair3489) reported

    @Kamiyoven @NintendoAmerica What’s even the problem other then your trash playthrough

  • dumbmunk_ dumbmunk (@dumbmunk_) reported

    @Tunasalad88 @adwkajdkjrnffkl @NintendoAmerica doesn’t change the fact that they still sold a god awful online service for $20 a year. also i checked and i was wrong bayonetta did get a price drop sorry. also nintendo stills sells the rabbids game for $60

  • yourgayerFriend ✿ your gayer friend, Friend! ❀ (@yourgayerFriend) reported

    @ChongoTweet bandcamp is actually celebrating iggy friday but couldnt name it that due to copyright issues with Nintendo

  • Ludexists_kinda Lud (@Ludexists_kinda) reported

    There’s no point in doing the online mode in bowser’s Fury Due to the unlimited amount of trolls and the lag that Nintendo hasn’t fixed.

  • MonadoBoy16 James Strong (@MonadoBoy16) reported

    @GoNintendoTweet I think I should bring this up: Nintendo games always finish development BEOFRE they were released. They polish some things before they released it. But. This is an infamous issue, especially after the LEAKAGE of Smash Ultimate.

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @Randomnibba5 @NintendoAmerica They’re not going to fix anything in a week, the game has probably been done for a while now

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @SuperSwagGuyYT @NintendoAmerica Doesn’t fix anything since it’s peer to peer connection

  • ButtrMastr101 Butter (@ButtrMastr101) reported

    @Monado_ @NintendoAmerica Exactly the issue I have with people within my community. People will argue that ToK is better when they never finished TTYD

  • HooktailJ SuperHooktailJr (@HooktailJ) reported

    @adamkoppol @OnThisDayGaming @OngakuDragon So long as he's in charge though. I'm just waiting for that moment when he's no longer in charge or removed from Nintendo so we can get a true sequel like Crash Bandicoot 4 it's about time when they got a true sequel.

  • AboutNintendo Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo (@AboutNintendo) reported

    @littlemacguy @samieweiss TBH some people's definition of bad is if it isn't 0 ping. Eventually the problem will fall on their own internet connection and they'll still say it's Nintendo's fault.

  • momiji_doa DOA Momiji (@momiji_doa) reported

    @Kamiyoven @NintendoAmerica Where's the problem? Besides your **** gameplay.

  • RikuSSBM Riku #BLM #FreeMelee (@RikuSSBM) reported

    @moca_alt02 @AboutNintendo the problem is not much can be done. the community would LOVE to take nintendo to court if we they weren't dirt poor and that's the thing, nintendo took advantage of the fact that their competitive communities, modders, fan game creators, etc. are poor

  • Petert930 Peter (@Petert930) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fbi keeps cramping my neck area and shooting loud sounds into my ears.  They ****** and burn me.  They shoot videos into my head asleep or awake.  They cause trouble breathing and anxiety.  They cause coughing and drooling and spy on me.  Please help condemn evil and save me.
