    @luci_4k to make it harder to see chargers, because when nintendo has to fix a problem they do it in the worst way possible

  • pghMav Mav (@pghMav) reported

    @WDBTHtGP And for the record I hope we do get an emergency patch from Nintendo (as unlikely as it is ;_; ) to fix the issue because without it, he should be legal. It's just too gamebreaking and too hard to enforce -just- the tech being banned.

  • auburncrescent Auburn | RELEASE THE OCTOKRAKEN!!! (@auburncrescent) reported

    @Jackogien I mean we’re just about to enter the third season and Nintendo’s STILL removing issues with terrain collision

  • ADHD_93 Tranquil Sane Zebra (@ADHD_93) reported

    I think ppl are starting to realize what esports is lol. You need MONEY to make it tick. Without Nintendo (filthy rich sponsor) supporting the scene at all, it leaves smaller/mid lvl fish being the sole heart of hosting events. Orgs w/ financial issues of their own w/o huge $

  • brndnxvi llyd (@brndnxvi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe you should consider fixing those goddamn issues before having the audacity to sell DLCs to your customers.

  • lcefreeze2085 that splatoon3 Guy (@lcefreeze2085) reported

    It’s time for Nintendo to fire whoever they hired to make these Splatoon 3 stages The last update did nothing to fix the problems. We have been having on the stages. They must be just completely ignoring what people want to see changed on the stage is right.

  • TheRealCelKat We Are Legion (@TheRealCelKat) reported

    If a third party company can get The Witcher 3 to run at a solid 30fps with minimal drops, there's really no excuse for a first party company within Nintendo to have such bad performance issues, especially with their lowpoly anime models.

  • TheLEGObrick_ TheLEGObrick (@TheLEGObrick_) reported

    @Splatoon3ink Yeah, I think that's a pretty cool one Also, I checked, and that issue is on Nintendo's end, they haven't put the information on the new stage(s) onto the NSO app yet

  • MJameson01 Mike 🏴 (@MJameson01) reported

    @ProjectXbox17 Sorry, but you're still wrong. Sony and Nintendo will continue to get ABK titles, whether currently announced or not. Brad Smith said *especially* Call of Duty, not *only* Call of Duty. You're making that **** up to try and take a W and it's not working for you.

  • ElToland Toland El Destintado (@ElToland) reported

    @aldous_hacksley @SplatoonNA Splatoon players: "Nintendo, when will you fix the game servers? Nintendo:

  • Viceroy_12 Viceroy (@Viceroy_12) reported

    @sampson3121 Your definitely wrong, saying ABK don't release new games on Switch is a lie. From Overwatch 2, Tony Hawk, Crash ect. And once the deal finalizes COD. The regulators and you trying to exclude Nintendo are being disingenuous. You're the one repeating quote not knowing context.

  • ecksecksecksray Dr. Worm 💀 (@ecksecksecksray) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about you fix the game you sold us before you sell us DLC?

  • NintendoTrucker The Nintendo Trucker (@NintendoTrucker) reported

    @LeMonado21 @DJK1NG_Gaming No one’s saying Nintendo can do what they want. The problem is you think Nintendo has to negotiate and they don’t. They’re part owner of the property. They just sit down and say “Does this seem like it would be profitable.” But it’s not a negotiation it’s a strategy meeting.

  • lilyfoxclaw LilyFoxclaw (@lilyfoxclaw) reported

    @SnowydayUK2 @ProjectXbox17 @DeekeTweak At the loss of spyro crash and other series? No thanks. Nintendo got the most out of spyro. Both those series should be multiplatform not xbox exclusive

  • DocPSX Doc (@DocPSX) reported

    @XboxP3 @poncle_vampire Xbox is such a sad platform. Could you imagine if Nintendo or PlayStation had the resources that your platform does? Ineptitude at its finest. Its going to be comical to watch how you guys fumble ABK. You can't manage your current load. Gaming is art, not a "service"

  • KirisameKirby Kirby Kirisame (@KirisameKirby) reported

    @NintendoAmerica $35 dollars for DLC for a broken game? Look, I want Pokémon to get better but this is just sad.

  • pghMav Mav (@pghMav) reported

  • NintyPrime Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) reported

    @The80HDkid @Stardusky3 So, there is nothing wrong with how Sony operates, they just choose to live in the edge. A lot of companies choose to live this way. But the moment a major product flops, they are in big trouble. But yes, technically, Nintendo is more profitable because they choose to be. They…

  • C_Aureus_Luc Canis Aureus (@C_Aureus_Luc) reported

    People who think that banning Steve will cause Nintendo to patch Ult one last time are on some mad hopium. However, there's then a chance that they might finally ******* fix Lucario, so i am 'people'. Frankly, I think there's a higher chance of spontaneous vacuum decay.

  • headass_hour Consul J 🅴 (@headass_hour) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix the game first

  • landnfckingsmth Take naps, do crimes (@landnfckingsmth) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix the base game.

  • BloomingFemboy Femboy in the making (18+) (@BloomingFemboy) reported

    @Blizzarien @NintendoAmerica No problem

  • jtremb5 jtremb (@jtremb5) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Does this do anything aside from giving you a new lobby? That's the impression that I got from the original trailer, and I'm having trouble seeing the point if that's all this is.

  • FrostedYukio Yukio ❄️ (@FrostedYukio) reported

    @Lucia_Tortuga apparently they're doing a 1.2.1 to fix this now its Nintendo's fault for not booting people off by doing maintenance

  • Brokegamer2356 Daniel (@Brokegamer2356) reported

    @NintendoAmerica How about you and gamefreak focus on fixing your still broken games and not release half baked garbage heaps like you allowed to happen with brilliant diamond/shining pearl, and violet/ scarlet?

  • slugisland Joseph (@slugisland) reported

    @CatTheKitten1 @yggdrasilsaltar no that's exactly the problem, Nintendo could port the games to switch and continue to profit off them and piracy would go down. but if ur only options to play a game are $400 and $0 most ppl are gonna go with $0

  • spookyhours40 spookyhours40 (@spookyhours40) reported

    @NintendoAmerica After the update the games are still lagging and buggy mess and we are supposed to drop $35 blinds on DLC?

  • Mystsprit Mystsprit (@Mystsprit) reported

    @NintendoAmerica we will be buying but please continue to fix bugs in the base game

  • mezgostreamer Mezgostreamer (@mezgostreamer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica When gamefreak fix the Game i'll think about it

  • CantonGmetal Liquid Money Maker (@CantonGmetal) reported

    @ChuckCallesto Let's see, kids family sues Nintendo for millions of dollars for causing an addiction problem in son. It's Nintendo's fault for their son's actions.
