So I think my Switch is broken which means I’m gonna have to send it off to Nintendo to be repaired and the thought of being without Animal Crossing is giving me separation anxiety

Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo
(@AboutNintendo) reported
Also yes you can say there are other problems with the game like framerates and stuff, but the graphics argument is an extremely poor argument (Saying before someone thinks we posted this to lick Nintendo's boots)

@NintendoAmerica the smash community is nothing more than a toxic dumpsterfire of aggression and insults, ontop of the summer issues and constant aggression thowards each other (poor crab) as well as refusing to take any responsability for there actions 4/6

@NintendoUK Was playing Smash online and was against this guy who was lagging loads. Lost the game, and accidentally clicked rematch. The guy accepted because the lag was giving him the easiest game of his life. Sd’d 3 times now I’m banned. Help.

@AskPlayStation I've heard lots of reported issues with drift with the new controllers. Any plans to support drift malfunctions like Nintendo (kind of) has?

@IntroSpecktive I think the inherit problem of a switch pro is that nintendo doesn’t take raw technological power that seriously. They add it in the new systems so there new toy features work with the console but thats the thing. Nintendo isn’t a tech a tech company

Waiting for the Prime Minister to make his announcement is like waiting for a Nintendo Direct. I wonder if they will announce Crash for Smash at the 10 Downing Street broadcast🤔

My boyfriend and I were going to buy the Nintendo Online Service Family Plan for both of our switches but it turns out that today was already his automatic renewal date so now we have to wait another ******* year to save money 🙃 that also means I have to waste $20

@beezarrr @NintendoAmerica I think it’s them wanting to remove themselves out of smash completely while the PR is still really bad Doing this afew months after the mess during summer was honestly a stupid move Gotta give things more time to heal while avoiding issues as a whole

Trying to follow Nintendo “news” sites on Twitter has become more trouble than it’s worth, and they all swoop in like vultures on any scrap of info they can turn into an article which just links back to someone’s tweet.

I took the last two weeks off. My oldest bought me a Nintendo Switch and I played it a lot with his younger siblings still at home. Video games are so much cooler now. But some how, Pokemon is still the same. Don't fix what ain't broken?

@morganoire At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if going one unit of Planck time without complaining about Byleth is tantamount to the electric chair to them. Like, come on, there’s more important problems to talk about regarding Nintendo than Dante not being in Smash.

@JuicyGameReview @NintendoUK The crap I've heard for 4 weeks now is dispatch stopped my package from being sent but can't give me a reason why they have done this..I've told them they have until Friday to resolve this problem, I will ask for a refund and put in a complaint. The hoodie was for the wife 😤

Annnd despite all those threats, I've never gotten in trouble, because corporate doesn't care, and similarly, Nintendo isn't going to care about some middle aged white woman complaining about "porn games" because of anime boobs either. They're probably more concerned about /8

@HEYimHeroic I implore you to look into the legalities of this, first. Nintendo might bite you in the butt for two things: making money from THEIR creations/imagery. And also utilizing their CODE, which most online game companies issue bans for. Why would you think this is a good idea?

The fact that @NintendoAmerica and @Nintendo are trying to argue that stick drift isn't a widespread problem when it has happened to literally every single left joy con I know of (my own and friends around me) is disgusting. Fix your ****, @thetruebowser

@GameWar64 @NintendoAmerica there might have been potential issues with the games themselves that we've never thought of that existed. i dunno man, the dkc games were taken off virutal console and eventually came back. they will eventually come back if there are no issues with them. let's just wait
