    all soundcloud rappers got sweaty hands and weird hair and xanax and **** and crack issues or perc issues , with a secret cr0ss dresser boyfriend that no one knows about and they all rap on weird mario beats that sound like nintendo sounds and they rap about gummy worms and candy

  • TheOmegaVirus Charredasperity (@TheOmegaVirus) reported

    Switch games are following in every other Nintendo console's issue since the gamecube: Only Nintendo themselves know how to squeeze enough power out of it to make anything uncompromised.

  • _IcyTea IcyTea🥈 (@_IcyTea) reported

    I'm so glad I never bought Nintendo Switch Online after 2018 it's a joke of a service.

  • JoeVern74850734 Joe Vernon (@JoeVern74850734) reported

    @MabbitRan I would say Nintendo need to fix their games or else every game is gonna have that same issue

    There's only one thing I wish for Christmas. I wish Nintendo could put Wiiconnect24/ Nintendo DS online service back online. Or at least find a way for the homebrewers to reactivate the services without using any Homebrew.

  • shageerthan Shageerthan Kodeeswaran (@shageerthan) reported

    @eatsides A Nintendo switch. This year hasn’t been good so far. Now ending it with a broken ankle which will take some time to recover from. This present will make this year end at least on a little high note.

  • materioart Materio (@materioart) reported

    @TrueKingOfSkill Ah, Nintendo Switch Online, quality service

  • polpslio midas #teamseas (@polpslio) reported

    My Nintendo switch lite is the BEST, it has been chewed on by a dog stopped working for weeks on several occasions, you can take it's backplate off, It has tons of loose and gone screws it's been broken at least 4 times AND STILL WORKS. You can't say yes is better at surviving.

  • GlitchyZorua Jacob, T̷h̸e̸ ̷g̵l̶i̶t̴c̷h̴y̴ ̴Z̷o̴r̶u̷a̶ (@GlitchyZorua) reported

    @Reecee_yt This is why Switch Online just... sucks. Buggy game play. Games crashing left and right. @NintendoAmerica needs to get off of there lazy *** and fix there ****** stuff

  • RedWoodard Red Shanx (@RedWoodard) reported

    @FlipPickle @oculus There was a similar issue with Nintendo switch controllers, Hope this helps.

  • Dennis20023836 Dennis 2002 (@Dennis20023836) reported

    Okay I want to tell you something. I'm currently saving some money to buy me a new laptop (my old one is broken) to make SFM/GMOD and some Nintendo Switch Videos. There's just one problem. I get only at the end of the month 119€. (Please Like + Retweet if you want)

  • DylEn_JST DylEn (@DylEn_JST) reported

    How has Nintendo gone this long with such **** online service for switch

  • TheVortex794 TheVortex794 (@TheVortex794) reported

    Just found the plug for my Nintendo Wii. I do think that, at some point, I will need to see if everything still works and also, look into managing the cables. The only issue is that I probably wouldn't know what goes into what if I did were to do a bit of cable management myself.

  • RLeBonTennant Rosie Tennant Doran 💖💙💜🌐🚀🦄💃🎶🌠🌌✨ (@RLeBonTennant) reported

    @iSmolNoodle Was Peanut at Chabwick's birthday party then? If yes, that would definitely explain why you couldn't give her a gift either. 😭 Maybe Nintendo didn't realise the issues this would cause, but it really sucks. I wish they'd patch this issue where you can give Chabwick + the other

  • whyyylmao kaks (@whyyylmao) reported

    @LJlohman @Paulieg6102 @cheaperthannso “anti nintendo bandwagoners” we’ll… ignore the link profile picture for now, just wanna ask where did i paint myself as a victim? besides, i own the expansion pass. i can complain if i paid £50 for a collection of 25 year old games and they’re broken to the point where hitting..

  • ExoParadigmGmr ExoParadigmGamer (#BlackLivesMatter) (@ExoParadigmGmr) reported

    @RetropolisZone See, the fact that it's a subscription service implies that there *would* be more frequent updates and fixes, like what Adobe does. How does Nintendo keep getting away with doing the bare minimum?

  • SolariumSystem Solarium_System (@SolariumSystem) reported

    @rikkipoynter @AAofficial Goddddd... I literally had to tell Nintendo to suck it today. 'Call us to fix this' 'That's literally hell for me I'll hardly understand or hear you. This sort of issue shouldn't require a phone call.' 'Well sorry you have to call' No. I shouldn't have to call.

  • Jamxoesjazzy Number1 Doogal Fan (@Jamxoesjazzy) reported

    @ExoParadigmGmr @FjmMonges @RetropolisZone See the problem is that Nintendo was never really competing with Sony or Microsoft in terms of graphical fidelity, which I think let’s them get away with a lot more than what Sony and Microsoft would, unless sales go to the ground I don’t think we’ll expect a change anytime soon

  • kfstreufert Kisara Lightstorm (@kfstreufert) reported

    Seriously, a company as large, and with as much money and resources as @Google, shouldn't have one of their apps (the @YouTube app on Nintendo Switch) crash or lag as often as it does. Why are they just sitting on their hands when they could've easily fix it months ago?

  • russthebiggbuss ❄️Russ❄️ (@russthebiggbuss) reported

    @dre_154 Ey @NintendoAmerica might wanna issue a cease and desist on this Sakurai dude he's tampering with your game a bit

  • Dull_intergers Adimai (@Dull_intergers) reported

    @AlimationsX @ConstntMigraine @Mlickles Video game crash,sales at all time low but Nintendo saved gaming industry

  • TheSegaHolic The SegaHolic (@TheSegaHolic) reported

    @GamingTwic Sure, Sega of America mocked Nintendo openly, but that was in good humour. The stuff on here between Xbox and PS fanboys is hideous and utterly cringe worthy. Thankfully the genuine fans of both brands are decent. The fanboys are the issue.

  • stejones1982 Ste Jones (@stejones1982) reported

    @NintendoUK Mario and luigi cos iv got a couple of issues with my bathroom.

  • GREGMESH 🇨🇦 The Greg White North 🇨🇦 (@GREGMESH) reported

    @katynotie Purchase a subscription for the online service and you will have access to a bunch of old school NES & Super Nintendo games.

  • RLeBonTennant Rosie Tennant Doran 💖💙💜🌐🚀🦄💃🎶🌠🌌✨ (@RLeBonTennant) reported

    @NintendoUK This is regarding Animal Crossing NH's: Did you guys not realize that making Chabwick's birthday December 24th would cause serious problems for Toy Day? Anybody who may have him on their islands cannot complete the event. Please do something about this issue. 🙃💙💖

  • NightmareAku NightmareNinja 🛡⚔ Playing Metroid Dread! (@NightmareAku) reported

    @MabbitRan I never had this problem, it feels he did this to get people mad at Nintendo. I mean, why would you even hit that tree? No reason!
