@LiquidHbox Fickle Smash fans.. should have been Steve from the start regardless of how broken he is in game. Pyra/Mythra are Nintendo. So whys that even in the list. Joker is ******* Joker.. and FF needed another character. ******* joke of a fanbase honestly.

Just need to say that thank god Nintendo finally figured out friend lobbies for Splatoon 3, even if the game is still plagued with connection errors.

@JustPlainLucas @ChazzonKe @YongYea They are having the same issues, they just aren't shifting the price on consumers. I've also read that Nintendo will be slimming down their packaging to make up for the costs instead of raising prices but I don't have a source on that so take that as you will

@MojangSupport hey so every time I log on ,Nintendo switch, the market place says invalid session and I have to use Alex or Steve as my skin. I play several times a day, I’m a teen with no job, and I have had my normal skin once this week. I don’t know how to fix this problem.

@davidscottjaffe That’s always been the problem with Nintendo systems ever since the Nintendo 64. I just don’t spend as much time with them as my PlayStation. I do plan to get “Live a Live” soon, though.

@MistareFusion I would jokingly say you're missing mods, but yeah. That seems weird given how Nintendo's pushed virtual consoles and it's subscription service on Switch.

I was soooo hyped to play this splatfest I even bought my bf a brand new pro controller and he brought some snacks and beers, but we cannot play it since nintendo won’t fix the “not enough players” problem so i guess… it is what it is

Wow, Nintendo. Your Splatfest World Premiere sure does have a stability issue. You can't play 2 games without half the players getting disconnected. You should probably fix that for the full release.

@C0metHalley @gamingguru456 Huh, you're so quiet all of sudden. Go on, show me how much of a ***** bigot I am, show me the proof I know you have. Show me the error of my ways. Show me where in game, confirmed by Nintendo, or confirmed by Monolift that Yuzuriha is NB. Show little ole bigot me.

Well this is embarrassing, haven't played my Nintendo 3DS in over a year, it wouldn't turn on, gave it to my son to "fix", he turned the power on. 😳🤭

nope

@will84ny @JeremyPenter @Stonethecrows0 Like I've already said nintendo fund those games in their entirety so I don't have an issue with exclusivity, sony didn't fund the development of hogwarts legacy they only paid for it's marketing, so I don't agree with it having exclusive content.

-Lastly, Nintendo, I’m begging you, please fix how the game doesn’t let you aim downwards properly, it’s so annoying, makes it impossible to kill people under ledges, we’re on the third entry and you haven’t fixed it , thanks.

@Heisenbear153 @IGN At least as far as the company that runs Denuvo has said, Nintendo has not endorsed or approved of it but 3rd party devs can use it for there games to “prevent emulation”. As far as right now this isn’t a Nintendo problem but rather still a denuvo problem
