    @BulbaWhat98 Well many games that are coming out now have some performance issues on Switch. There are also many companies making portable handheld PCs so I think Nintendo needs to do the upgrade asap

  • IWubsGaming SleepyEspeon (@IWubsGaming) reported

    @shadow7591 For me its a hard maybe cuz i only got into Splatoon for its dark lore in single player. Multiplayer isnt my thing considering A. Nintendo Online servers are dogshit & B. Some weapons tend to be broken/nerfed hard like the Splatana during the demo. that weapon was awful XD

  • _marisawa mari ✿ (@_marisawa) reported

    @basedtweetsonly @nessandporky @NintendoAmerica yup being unable to counter a laser that goes across the map and through walls is totally a skill issue

  • PepsiDaBanjo Pepsi Is Silly (@PepsiDaBanjo) reported

    What if the steve amiibo is so broken that nintendo is forced to do a patch. Would be funny

  • Merrroco Merrroco (@Merrroco) reported

    @monsterhunter You gonna fix the bug with Nintendo switch versions having saves be corrupted?

  • ImpishMATT Matt Lally (@ImpishMATT) reported

    @outrageousopal It's crappy advice but re-upload them without mentioning Pokemon in the name, description or tags. It's hard and it'll probably hurt SEO but that's the easiest way to get around it. Nintendo is the company I have the most trouble with when it comes to RedBubble/TeePublic.

  • Vygrax Vygrax Plays Video Games (@Vygrax) reported

    @CorruptClown69 @rjbeasterw98 @NintendoAmerica or, or hear me out there are such things as manufacturing errors and the "**** screens", as you put it, are just minor defects. call Nintendo and let them know that the screen is messed up and they'll gladly fix it. i did the same when my cart reader messed up.

  • Crypt_phantom17 👻♧Cryptic♤✊🏾In Hell♑🪦 (@Crypt_phantom17) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ITS NOT AVAILABLE. PLS FIX THE BUG

  • Darknix26 Darknix (@Darknix26) reported

    @ProChara too bad the lag is pretty bad where I play atm so most fights end off as a trade regardless and not travel time trade, I'm talking 1 second differences bullshit lag trades I wish Nintendo just took servers seriously.

  • realspykitty realspykitty🐉🦋👅 (@realspykitty) reported

    @ClaudeSkruNi @puyoxyz @NintendoEurope Just gives me plain text and not working, thanks Nintendo!

  • SomeCallMePlaya Real Name Unknown (@SomeCallMePlaya) reported

    Nintendo Direct got delayed? The only plausible reason it got delayed is because possibly there was actual Advance Wars news but good boys Nintendo can't put out a war game but have zero issue with Fire Emblem/Xenoblade/Triangle Strategy/Splatoon. Don't offend your fans Big N🙃

  • Leesburg_FL Leesburg, Florida Updates (@Leesburg_FL) reported

    @jhart_21 @CyteZ2Nawa @verge The issue with apple is trickier. Apple could argue it's no different than console developers like Sony or Nintendo. They've never let anyone sell unlicensed software or hardware either. That argument isn't very strong though as Nintendo and Sony mostly profit only from software

  • Dave19Brown83 David Brown (@Dave19Brown83) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm sure if any problems you have with this feature will eventually be fixed.
