  • HowlingPig08 HowlingPig (@HowlingPig08) reported

    @its_kceee It is 100% because of Nintendo I actually feel kinda bad for the guys making this movie they have the most recognisable gaming company breathing down their necks just waiting for them to make the slightest error

  • aliastheaddikt Chico De Bars (@aliastheaddikt) reported

    @IGN On jah, nintendo needs to quit playing with mario rpg/paper mario or we gon have some real ****** problems…

  • MysticTactician Mystic Tactician (@MysticTactician) reported

    Not to mention the unbearable lag. At first I thought I was tripping that my bullets were phasing through my opponents, but watching TWO streams from TWO TOP LEVEL PLAYERS last night proved me wrong. It's the Nintendo servers lagging badly this fest.

    @NintendoAmerica so master sword si broken again?

  • DerGreenNinja Konrad (@DerGreenNinja) reported

    I really don't know what Nintendo... possessed to put this on the service at launch. It's such an odd thing to beginn with. It's like someone just put too many photoshop filters over it, which has some artistic merit. But then still had to squeeze in the combat.

    My issue with the Tears of the Kingdom drama is it ignores the million other rip off prices in gaming and lands it on Nintendo as if they’ve just invented overpriced content Yes, it’s overpriced, don’t get me wrong. They’ve misjudged it and they’re getting the blowback but…

    NINTENDO PLS FIX UR **** ITS THROWING ME OFF

  • markyg83 SpiderFreak (@markyg83) reported

    @NintendoStoreUK @NintendoUK Not surprised in the slightest that there are still no preorders for the CE of Tears of the Kingdom from you yet. Whilst all other retailers have done so and sold out already. What’s with that? Afraid we’ll complain when the inevitable site crash and “come back later” shows up?

  • _Aurocarv Levi de calcinha na noitada (@_Aurocarv) reported

    @NintendoAmerica FIX THE SPLATOON 3 SERVER

  • RaptrosPt Raptros Pt (@RaptrosPt) reported

    @JuiceMan_V It's funny that with the hundreds of steam and PC games out there they could be playing... That I could be playing if i had a steam... They choose to be Ah Fanboys are the worst. But then you look back at Nintendo fanboys and there they are complaining about another broken nail😕

    @NextGenPlayer That **** cuz the Nintendo online service kinda sucks

  • MerlinSemmel Merlin(tlou🌿) (@MerlinSemmel) reported

    @ElmismoHades @xlbobb @AndreSegers Forsproken is broken on every platform, by the way. It's nice and cheeky to complain about the ps5 hardware with the game as an example. Nintendo needs better hardware in the future and no one should try to defend that

  • NateAndDestroy Nathan Ellingsworth (@NateAndDestroy) reported

    I think the problem with the Paper Mario games since TTYD is similar to the idea of making a sequel to Super Mario World. I think Nintendo thought they had done everything they wanted to do with that style of game, they’d perfected it, so sequels had to be different.

  • LuigiBlood Yakumono (@LuigiBlood) reported

    @DarkForceIsaac They'd just release GC/Wii games seperately. Nintendo isn't obligated to use the same system every time. It's not a problem, and was never a problem.

    @Mommy_Strawbs Shutting that game's servers down is a TERRIBLE choice and they promoted it like crazy too!!! Yet another dumb decision by game companies!! Looking at Nintendo -_- They got SOME good decisions but the bad ones are REALLY dumb!

  • RaptrosPt Raptros Pt (@RaptrosPt) reported

    @Chris_Dring @MarcBurrage @JonComms If only thing people get excited about are the big hit titles and they ignore everything else the problem is the people not Nintendo. You like putting yourselves up in a pedestal and forget that most us grew up playing games not complaining about them

  • DarkMirria1 Mirria1 (@DarkMirria1) reported

    @BrandonTRabboat @NintendoAmerica I hope we can fix her.🥺

  • austinclan9999 James Austin (@austinclan9999) reported

    Hi @NintendoUK, I keep experiencing an error when trying to redeem a Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass code I purchased through a vendor. Are there any reported problems with these at present?

  • kiburipon Kiburi Pon 🐒 | ENVtuber (@kiburipon) reported

    Nintendo's main problem was announcing this game WAY too early back in 2019. That's only 2 years after Botw. It was way too soon to reveal it.

  • gyrodosthepoke gyrodos (@gyrodosthepoke) reported

    Since nintendo has made it their job to make patches on the game (in terms of item box respawns, invincibility frames, etc) I think in Wave 4 they should finally fix triple items to actually make them protect you from ground items and red shells

  • CageFooName Bill (@CageFooName) reported

    @RosesofE TBH i would just give in and accept that Nintendo has some of the worst customer service in existence. If you go in with that mindset it becomes a bit less annoying to spend the money

  • AnAviansie An Aviansie | Bring the gods back to Gielinor (@AnAviansie) reported

    @Alexwigg1 Unfortunately, yes. :( I did hear Nintendo will fix those free of charge, so I'm gonna look into that a bit tomorrow.

  • Jamwa Jam Walker (@Jamwa) reported

    @JimSterling I remember when that game bricked my launch 3DS & Nintendo support just shrugged & said 'yeah we're aware a very small number of players have had that occur but the problem wasn't widespread enough for us to recall the game.' 🫠

  • Taking_Night Other Guy (@Taking_Night) reported

    @Marklord117 @Retro_Death Yeah, it makes no sense not to just include them. I doubt licensing cost is the issue since Nintendo is assisting with this release and money would not be an issue for them.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 570 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • CKohaN64 Kohan64Tweets (@CKohaN64) reported

    I'm not even going to play the new Splatfest and that's a problem because 1: this started 3 days after the new Nintendo direct premiered and I'm pretty sure that people are playing Game Boy and Metroid on Switch. I mean, who would want to play a Splatfest, 3 days after a direct?!

    @Sleepy_FG I hate this so much can nintendo fix this problom
