  @2ManyStripes I okay for honor (totally different game) and it’s able to detect if you left the game automatically or if it was a problem on their end or your own wifi and they only give you a penalty if you actually left the game on your own accord. Seems like Nintendo should take a note

  @PokemonGoApp Yes I know and I told you before. I have participated but with an old and unused account. Because there wasn’t the option for loginwith Nintendo account. So I try to login with google but it was linked with an obsolete account. So I delete it and link to google myofficial account

  @MartianBalls @EscoAlmighty @XcloudTimdog How come PlayStation/ Nintendo don’t have this problem? Y’all talk like Xbox is brand new and hasn’t been around for 22 years.

  @SkyeTheDev If you have nostalgia for any Nintendo characters or games there's likely a new better version on switch or the old version available with the Switch Online service which is quite affordable.

  @soulsilverart I did try to contact Pokémon about it, yet they send me towards Nintendo support, and i’m sure they will probably send me somewhere else tbh.. i just hope this massive problem will reach Pokémon sooner than later

  Listen, I LOVE the switch, but I just feel like it needs an upgrade But that’s pretty much it, I have OCCASIONAL drift issues but they don’t happen as often to me anymore and I could always mail them to Nintendo, I just want them to upgrade the Wi-Fi card because it SUCKS 😭😭😭

  @wompie_domple Nintendo would've never had this problem if they just made Samus tall and jacked like god intended.

  People are asking why I'm not playing Big Run. It's simple: Nintendo still hasn't bothered to fix the SR lag. 200% HazMax in S2 doesn't even drop any frames. S3 SR struggles on even 125%+. Pathetic.

  2D Mario is actually really good (pre-NSMBW). Nintendo treats 2D platformers like they only exist as nostalgia bait, and that's the problem.

  Congratulations to nintendo for having the most dogshit online system that gives people comm errors for no reason. I was one victory away from EVP, halfway through killing the Horrorboros, and my entire team got disconnected, and I dropped back to prof +3 50. Okay

  @SylAriLil @SerebiiNet if you link your nintendo account and network id on the nintendo website then merge the funds, any money you add to your switch will be available on 3ds too I got pokemon bank that way, nintendo support can help if you have any trouble

  @rayforcegame You can't even bring this to light for @Nintendo? This problem only exists because localizers destroyed the game.

  @IGN Why is it so urgent? Most people who want them have them in other ways so give Nintendo some time because they just added the handhelds to the damn service

  @Twitch @TwitchSupport Can you please fix your app for @nintendo Switch? It constantly fails to load streams even though I have it hard wired to my internet. According to Reddit, countless others still have the same issue and no fixes are known. Thanks!

  @hawaiinguy808 @AndreaPichinini Nobody gives this crap to Nintendo or Sony. Still waiting for Metroid prime 4. We only seen concept art for last of us factions when was that announced I forgot. Alot of those game on that list will come out in the next two years. Its a good problem to have Xbox has games!

  @STAGEBLOQ @MarioneteGaming People that emulate are still a pretty small group. For instance I’ll emulate Nintendo retro because they don’t let me buy them on Switch. I bought Legend of Dragoon because PS didn’t lock it to a sub service only. I bought Metroid Prime Remastered, quality remaster good price

  I just had the worst customer service experience at @Walmart. I was considering buying a game for my Nintendo Switch. A employee had an attitude when I asked for help after I was done looking. She thought I shouldn't look at their case and just tell them to open it.

  Wanted to join a tourney for one last time until my anti depressants were gone but ArcSys doesn't want me to so I won't. Fix your damn servers. You're competing with Nintendo at this point but at least Nintendo servers always work

  @NintendoAmerica pretty embarassing. Super Nintendo World Hollywood has been open what, a week and we've been standing in a line for a broken #MarioKartBowsersChallenge for 2 hours so far. Absurd.
