  • argonianlover w (@argonianlover) reported

    @FbrAndrew cant wait to get clapped by a 13 year old rubberbanding across warzone on nintendo's ****** online service at 15 frames per second and then watch them immediately disconnect because the smoke from their gun rendered at too high a resolution and crashed the console

  • Michell97457514 Michelle Gentry (@Michell97457514) reported

    @ChuckCallesto All over a nintendo game he shouldnt have in class anyway. Yeah, take away the guns because thats the problem...

  • Noxyfied Nox (@Noxyfied) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Can Kirby save me from my power outage?

  • alex_c857 Alex Calderon (@alex_c857) reported

    @FightHaven Little ****. No more Nintendo switch we’re you are going. I would’ve broken that **** right in front of him.

  • Sunshinelove53 Sunshine (@Sunshinelove53) reported

    @hodgetwins First of all coming from a nurse that’s worked with mentally ill patients. YOU DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM THEM. It escalates the problem!! That’s rule of thumb right there. She shouldn’t have taken his Nintendo. Also they need training for Crisis preventions!.

  • MichaelHacks0n Michael Hackson (vi/vim) (@MichaelHacks0n) reported

    @JustinWhang These bugs in consoles are becoming problematic.. Nintendo needs to fix ‘m.

  • ClaydensWorld ClaydensWorld (@ClaydensWorld) reported

    @nintendo My Switch only lasted 15 months before the motherboard malfunctioned month 8 but everywhere you look it's said check internet when you have internet connection issues-I started experiencing issues month 8 but customer care said Wifi...what now😫🥺😫

  • __jc726 jc726 (@__jc726) reported

    @Ashtoric @NoisyPixelNews The Switch is the best-selling console of the last 15 years. No one is in a hurry to move on from an install base that large, especially when Nintendo is still supporting it and keeping it relevant. The Switch's "power" has nothing to do with this issue.

  • Geepstar Bert Haandrikman ⭐ (@Geepstar) reported

    @hodgetwins this is insane. The problem with a lot of these is the parents will defend the kid because the teacher took away a Nintendo that shouldn't have been at school in the first place. Hope the teacher is alright because she doesn't seem to move at all.

  • Rachel40362398 Rachel (@Rachel40362398) reported

    @ChuckCallesto Hope his Nintendo switch got broken in the ruckus.

  • chocokana2 ちょこかなGames (@chocokana2) reported

    @Team17 I bought the Nintendo Switch version of the Overcook All you can Eat. However, I skipped it by accidentally hitting the B button on the end-user agreement. In this case, is there no problem in using the product?

  • itselguapo itselguapo (@itselguapo) reported

    @mrpyo1 The problem with state of play vs Nintendo direct. A good at least 80 percent of the games shown in nintendo direct are exclusively for Nintendo switch. Where as like 20 percent of stuff shown during state of play is exclusively on ps5, but to the point where people don't care.

  • jaowriter Julio Angel Ortiz (@jaowriter) reported

    @EddieRobson This is an issue with the most recent update. Others have reported it on Reddit. I imagine Nintendo (if they haven't already) will release a fix for this soon.

  • NorburyKaz kaz norbury (@NorburyKaz) reported

    @LonnieGruhn @hodgetwins you are the problem why ******** has a kid got a Nintendo at school His clearly retarded he doesn't need anything else to take his focus away from school

  • Knight_vessel Ghost(Hollow Knight Parody) (@Knight_vessel) reported

    @WWWOOOOOOOOWWW1 Bro.....that kid has some serious *****. I only got my Nintendo switch last year,and I would never do something like this. If I was that kid's parent,I would have broken his Nintendo switch so fast

  • mstrk2194 Mstrk793 (@mstrk2194) reported

    @RF_SoTX_956 @catturd2 No it shows a kid who wasn't raised right with anger issues and addiction to his Nintendo switch. Attacking his teacher for punishing him. Probably never been told no in his life. It has nothing to do with skin color.

  • moonerslist ben gillen (@moonerslist) reported

    @hodgetwins His Nintendo? Your the ******* problem

  • brian_timins Brian Timins (@brian_timins) reported

    @hodgetwins Now he goes to jail. With no Nintendo. Problem is. Parents treat their children as friends. Not as children to be told what not Otto do .

  • BolderTrades Boulder Dog 🇺🇸 (@BolderTrades) reported

    @jeml712 @JasonRobergeVA @ChuckCallesto If he is in fact a special need student, then he shouldn't have a Nintendo with him in class, correct? If he had been diagnosed with discipline and/or anger issues, then he should be somewhere else. I guess he will be now.

  • gowiiings chev (@gowiiings) reported

    @Thasamuraiy @catturd2 Your logic is she took his Nintendo switch while in SCHOOL where you LEARN and that deserves for her to get beaten up? So this is her fault? And high schoolers can control themselves, that’s a piss poor way to say he’s got problems

  • sarah7cog Sarah COG (@sarah7cog) reported

    @catturd2 Anger issues! Spoilt brat syndrome 😞 Needs to be locked up (no Nintendo's there) & urgent psych work up! 😲

  • HellJohnsonOG Hell Johnson (@HellJohnsonOG) reported

    @Ceecee_Freedmen That poor Nintendo game is probably broken now. That poor boy.

  • AsgarZigel AsgarZigel (@AsgarZigel) reported

    @patrickklepek weirdly enough Nintendo seems to have the same issue with the Botw sequel

  • TachankaFreema1 Tachanka Freeman (@TachankaFreema1) reported

    @hodgetwins Nintendo? A literal Nintendo and he acted as such? Dude got anger issues probably worse than mind 💀

  • rando9292 Chad Chiaki enjoyer (Rando) (@rando9292) reported

    @PhantomThieve9 I mean, any notable publisher has area's they can be criticized including Nintendo to be fair, but they are definitely more so than Nintendo. My issue with EA critism though is that it feels like people fill find any excuse to hate on them which detracts from genuine critism IMO

  • SeanMobsby Sean Mobsby (@SeanMobsby) reported

    @iMatt42 @thatoldgamerguy Nintendo and Sony are rounding errors to Microsoft

  • RaiderNationVA Wiggity Wiggity Wack (@RaiderNationVA) reported

    @BangyStudios @Tomhennessey69 @ScottAdamsSays If you want to spend your time playing on a Nintendo Switch and not getting educated, keep your stupid *** at home. Problem solved.

  • ClanOcid Ocid Clan (@ClanOcid) reported

    @LonnieGruhn @hodgetwins You are part of the problem…if you want your kids to sit home and play Nintendo, home school. Kids are there to learn and these things are a distraction.

    @MSNBC The only people who give a **** about corporate branding are people who don't look at the issues seriously. The Coke vs. Pepsi, Nintendo vs. Sega and MSNBC vs. Fox mentality is for the intellectually lazy. You all suck and pander to the ignorant.
