MegaXTheGamer (@MegaXTheGamer) reported@ExpandDong15 Not that the online isn't running on a potato, but I feel like the dislikes are just kind of the running joke. But yeah I agree the service needs more. Specifically, for a service called Nintendo Switch Online, they need to give better Online.

Thomas White (@TenchiW01004735) reported@NintendoAmerica This model will solve the scalper issue as retail stores could care less. They do only enough to say they are doing something but it clearly is not working on their end.
-
Beelzebub (@balloon_os) reportedyknow, nintendo adding kits to splatoon 3 that are either dog **** or broken dog **** is making me reconsider my stance on adding custom kits
-
Mauricio (@rawcore11de7de) reported@CloudMcFox_ @PaladinsGame I kinda found out how to fix that??? If u have ur account linked to steam and Nintendo,log into steam and load up paladins,tweak the settings for high resolution (on steam) then save them and close it,load back in the switch and ur good to go

Leiko Chi (@ChiLeiko) reported@bstatmeister @NintendoAmerica @RetroStudios SHipping issues, because nintendo are ******* idiots.
-
SEGA Hoarder 💎 (@SEGAhoarder) reported@HHackenbecker They're at it again lol. Surely there shouldn't be a problem if the words UNOFFICIAL clearly line the FAN PROJECT. I understand companies wanting to protect their licenses, but this is SEGA we're talking about not Nintendo. They were supposed to be welcoming towards fan projects.
-
Rainruto (@rainruto) reported@Borderlands All I have to say is to those people that think that Borderlands 3 and wonderlands would crash the Nintendo switch why don't these gaming companies take a page from the Harry Potter game we don't get ours until July 25th
-
No Quarter (@paul_pwestone) reported@TheNCSmaster @NintendoAmerica Called a GS about 30 minutes away and they had one copy left, so it appears its a "quantity" issue.
-
Necrotine (@Necrotine1) reported@nintendofan_42 @PeytonSchmidt2 @ArloStuff I’m glad you’re so rich that you can keep kissing *** to nintendo. Let’s gatekeep everyone else because YOU specifically don’t have a problem. “It’s just $10 more the game” “it’s just $12+ each for micro transactions via amiibos” “it’s just $30 for the season pass.”
-
Announce Samus Returns HD Please (@ExelionStarCo) reported@TheVideoGamHer I had the exact same problem. Think Nintendo underestimated demand…
-
Gi ♣🌸 (@Peaceful_Hermit) reported@Zeg_VT @Tyler_462 If you think it's a Nintendo problem rather than a typical JP company problem then that's cap. The mass purge of anime OSTs/AMVs and other anime related media by big Animation publishers has been doing this for more than a decade now.

cat 🌱 (@vcdette) reportedu know why i want genshin impact on the nintendo switch so badly? because i'm physically too tired to play on my pc, my phone hates games that requires internet, my ps vita has drift issues & the energy i need for my ps4 is too much sometimes.
-
Seaguns 🏝️ (@seaguns_art) reported@McTroid My Gamestop told me Nintendo told them Prime would be arriving late so. Seems like a Nintendo issue
-
Realcodythedragonrude (@Codydrg0nrude) reportedwe got nintendo which tencent and saudi arabian beheaders have a stake in we got nvidia whos always been **** tier we got the steamdeck hero of linux gaming also siding with microsoft it's over folks microsoft will control everything and then when ten years end games crash
-
Benjamin P (@BenjaminZero) reported@squarebuddy Wow so they still didn't fix these issues after all this time? Yikes...Nintendo acting like Pokemon is some kind of Indie game and not one of the most well known brand.🙄
-
Gatlin Roche (@gatlinsc) reported@NintendoAmerica why are so many people having trouble finding #MetroidPrimeRemastered physical copies on release day? The only place you can buy a physical copy is on eBay for $80-$100!! This is ridiculous!
-
EvanBoi1211 (@EvanBoi1211) reported@NintendoAmerica fix splatoon 3 matchmaking i don't want it to become the next fortnite
-
theGamerPad (@theGamerPad) reported@UniDaSensei Nintendo’s games are more valuable. Not a good trade off for them Microsoft is pretty much out of the console selling business and more in the service selling business. They become stronger by putting their service on multiple devices. Nintendo is stronger on one platform
-
chobs (@chobs_spl) reported@HDHaZmY The problem is that Nintendo hasn't shown us any reason to have hope that they're capable of making a good patch
-
Leiko Chi (@ChiLeiko) reported@Jack_Over19 @GameStop They are not sold out. stop helping scalpers. THERE is a SHIPPING ISSUE blame nintendo. 2 gs's. 7 walmarts here got ZERO STOCK never got any in.
-
Lucy J😮💨🍃✨ (@naturally_lu) reportedI wonder if there’s someone who can fix my Nintendo 64 I really wann cut my son *** on this game since he think he the GTA king😭
-
Snarky Sunbro (@snarkysunbro) reportedBeen seeing a lot of people have trouble getting their physical copies of #MetroidPrimeRemastered after having to wait two weeks... I know the series historically never sold well, but I really hope @NintendoAmerica isn't just sabotaging Metroid now that people want it. 😕
-
Meka (@MekaXKitty) reported@TheSiL196 I know that they have issues with Nintendo a lot, that's why things are delayed for switch sometimes. Nintendo tends to make things difficult
-
Hallow Knightmare (@HallowKnightM) reported from Hastings, Minnesota@Masterlorddd @cuddlemonstaa @CrashBandicoot ...there are very few titles that escape Nintendo's control of having all online games required to use their Online Service to play on, so Switch getting it somewhat last makes sense.
-
Triforce Spirit Activate 🗡️🛡️ 🏹 (@TheVideoGamHer) reported@SMetaldave64 I had it in my cart on the Nintendo Store almost a week ago but didn't purchase because I felt like I could just walk into a store a buy it and bypass shipping issues lol. Jokes on me. 😭
-
◕‿‿◕ (@ronnicksm) reported@CloudMcFox_ @PaladinsGame those features were on switch? I remember that Nintendo didnt want to have paladins if it was beta, so they had to fix paladins aka remove features they couldn't fix 👀
-
Switch Nindies (@SwitchNindies) reported@cashewgames1 @GameStopHelp Seems to be a Nintendo issue. Walmart and Best Buy barely got any copies either.
-
Hallow Knightmare (@HallowKnightM) reported@Masterlorddd @cuddlemonstaa @CrashBandicoot Actually that's far from true. There is every reason to not release it on Switch right away and that's the fact that a lot of games on Switch that have online modes have to have Nintendo's Online service attacked to it. DBD, Pokemon, Splatoon, Smash, all require it....
-
Hallow Knightmare (@HallowKnightM) reported from Hastings, Minnesota@Masterlorddd @cuddlemonstaa @CrashBandicoot And it's the same on Xbox. Nintendo is the only one of the three that always tries to shove their Nintendo Online services down people's throats. I play Pokemon, Dead by Daylight, CTR & No Man's Sky for example on Switch & I have to pay for the service if I want to play online.

Marbilou (@Marbiloutwitt) reported@ItsTetraHere247 @PikaPlaysgames For pokemon, i get it thats normal because only a ghost can do damage to a ghost, but Wtf is wrong with nintendo making Splash-o-matics broken.
