  • LucaTweeting LucaTweeting (@LucaTweeting) reported

    @AmongUsGame someone found a glitch on nintendo switch that leaked the whole airship map

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ @Optimus_Code when MS put a HDD in the Xbox & allowed patches & updates. Their certification processes were arguably more stringent than Sony or Nintendo in many ways except they allowed wavers for things so you could fix them later. Then the PS360 generation happened & the rest is history.4/4

  • hyperdoge0666 hypertattl0666/kajbit0666 (@hyperdoge0666) reported

    Btw its a glitch, I didn't hacked my switch. All you have to do Is: -Go to local mode and create game (On Nintendo Switch only) -Go to computer, then game settings and change map to airship. -Exit the local, then go to online, create game without changing map on main screen.

  • JyeMoore 🎄thebananakingjye_offical🎅🏻 (@JyeMoore) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @InnerslothDevs so I buy among us for 5 dollars and then I have to buy the main game game it self using Nintendo online tell how the Nintendo switching glitch that makes sense to you tell me Nintendo how dose that make sense ya no response no nothing of cause

  • mechachoi Mike Choi (@mechachoi) reported

    @KristiKates let's just figure out how to power cars with nintendo batteries and all of our problems will be solved

  • tweethue Philips Hue (@tweethue) reported

    @attgc Can you try a factory reset of the box? Just follow these steps: remove power, hold button on the front, connect power while holding button, and wait for 10 seconds to issue a full-factory-reset. Could you also try the Nintendo in port 2 or 4?

  • CarltonRkid Carlton (@CarltonRkid) reported

    @iwoot Still waiting for a response for my missing Nintendo switch. Apparently delivered 5 days ago 👍🏻 customer service is awful

  • 3CAXoa1j2HPqlcW wancha (@3CAXoa1j2HPqlcW) reported

    @syuu_daodevice it is not tur,is not company to crash the switch,there are many people to help player to crash their nintendo switch,They used to be the people who repair mobile phones.

  • LostRouge_ Rouge (@LostRouge_) reported

    @Cliffcheese @NintendoUK @AmongUsGame Which is a free game, most online services man an exception and allowed people to play online for free on it. You’re buying a game you aren’t entitled to the online service for free. Granted the online service is less than decent but still.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 2 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • GoldScale57 GoldScale (@GoldScale57) reported

    That said, Among Us is 5 bucks If its really a problem then just get it free on the app store I don't want to be "that guy" but it IS a fully legal option they've given you But it makes no sense that its, potentially, 5 bucks + 20 a year solely cause of Nintendo it seems

  • chrisalchinhot1 chris.alchin@hotmail.com (@chrisalchinhot1) reported

    @NintendoUK @XRockerGaming have Nintendo lost the complete ******* plot? Denying that joycon stick issues are not a common problem?? Buy a new switch and the control sticks drift and don’t control properly after limited use, have to pay for repairs? Thieving SLIMEY ba******

  • Azmo72724688 Delta (@Azmo72724688) reported

    @Phuton9 @Nintendeal Do you have switch online or any Nintendo service active? Are you still buying fighters pass 2?

  • GutjahrArmin ArminGutjahr (@GutjahrArmin) reported

    @Lyroy_TheToad Probably you are right but when Nintendo has issues with making events without protesting (like their splatoon tournament) maybe they will start talking.

  • Crazed54678 🎃Felix Argyle 🎃 (@Crazed54678) reported

    @alfirmitive Yeah he was a huge streamer and an absolutely amazing guy, he jumped off a bridge after a lot of mental breakdowns and his fans thought he was joking so they kept harassing him. Even Nintendo recognized him I believe. Leafy knows damn well who he is and is just stirring trouble

  • TheTriforceKid TheTriforceKid (@TheTriforceKid) reported

    @SquareEnix Hey, so, while you're pushing Nintendo Online, you guys could TOTALLY make Secret of Mana 3-player ONLINE CO-OP. Like, who turns one of the best co-op RPG's into a single-player-offline-only game? Fix this. There's no excuse to not make this game online Co-op.

  • NoahGentry8 Fastestblueblur :3 (@NoahGentry8) reported

    @zacharoniVEVO 5 dollars plus you'll have to have a Nintendo Online Service

  • DrPhishshoe Dr.Phishshoe (@DrPhishshoe) reported

    @kirishimasu The biggest issue is that link is silent and the fact that Nintendo just right now is developing more in an Entertainment Company (With the themepark and Mario Movie being the first projects showing this) I think Zelda will happen....sometime

  • Renton127 🏳️‍🌈💖❤️~Brandon Parkhurst~❤️💖🏳️‍🌈 (@Renton127) reported

    I’m thinking about tomorrow talking about my top 5/10 most anticipated games for 2021 Though here where I kinda have a minor issue. There really isn’t any release dates or I don’t know when games are releasing or even know the full slate (I know of nothing on nintendo)

  • BaronBrr BaronBrr (@BaronBrr) reported

    @FlumponatorIv @ZeroWolfox @LegendaryCaps Still for the vast majority of the 2010s crash was a fairly obscure ip. Also PlayStation and Nintendo have never been on good terms, even though crash is on switch

  • BlufurEz Zeke's_Art_Den (@BlufurEz) reported

    @discord Man, Discord on Switch would fix so many issues with Nintendo Switch Online's terrible voice chatting. Too bad Nintendo would probably never agree to do it.

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ @Optimus_Code & therein lies the problem. Nintendo, after seeing the **** show that was Atari, instigated a far more stringent set of rules for software launching on their platforms. When Sega came along with the Megadrive they had more relaxed certification processes, nowhere near...1/4

  • SamkoraFc_SSB Aaron Maher (@SamkoraFc_SSB) reported

    Nintendo definitely fixed the screen issue

  • Sefraca_ Selina (@Sefraca_) reported

    @Emberoth Months and months of work probably went into porting it to Nintendo Switch. I really don't see the problem with any of that. And to be very honest the people who shout the loudest are usually the ones who wouldn't have bought it anyway
