    Hyrule Warriors for Nintendo Switch still feels broken due to its low frame rate and it can't handle too many characters on screen.

  • private11941712 private (@private11941712) reported

    @bokigoat Playstation makes interactive movies with boring stories and insulting gameplay. Xbox makes ****** shooters,and horrible open world games,and gamepass is a poor service. Nintendo makes games for kids. Soulija boy dominates

  • TheAsraLover Morgan Looney (@TheAsraLover) reported

    @TomLegend101 Geez, whose Internet is making this lag? Cause seriously, I don't think this level of lag is normal for any Nintendo Online game.

    @fortnite Nintendo switch gamechat isnt working you can only switch to gamechat once for the first match then it won’t work afterwards please fix

  • CommanderProton Gage Holston (@CommanderProton) reported

    I'd argue Sony is worse, since they don't even really have a service for playing older games on current consoles, unlike Nintendo and Microsoft.

  • tinaskkuno ri ^-^ | tcfgc (@tinaskkuno) reported

    sick + my nintendo switch is having problems ! ! ! nice

  • GorgeousGrill GorgeousGrill (@GorgeousGrill) reported

    @OddballPaladin @NintendoAmerica I don’t think there’s really too much discussion here anymore: yes this was a problem, but it’s a solid 7 versions old (article you linked is 5 years old). That’s that

  • DCharlieJP DCharlie (@DCharlieJP) reported

    Saying once again that @nintendo get away with so much The Switch controller issue would sink anyone else but they seem to just get away with it as they pedal last gen tech at tomorrow's prices with a huge fail rate. Love their games but hate their hardware. Call them out

  • Luis_56s Luis⭐56 (@Luis_56s) reported

    @TeamDDunn @SylviaRuriri @AAWGame Are you stupid or what?This game release to Nintendo switch ok?What is your problem?Are you developer?

  • AngryCrazyZebra #UnBanNairo The Real Zebruh (@AngryCrazyZebra) reported

    THAT SO BULL! I fought against a Duck Hunt and they raged quit at the end. What's so bull is that I played by their lame ruleset which is 3 stocks and 4 MINUTES! I can understand 5 minutes but 4?! They denied me my GSP and that's so unfair. Plz fix @NintendoAmerica (1/2)

  • hernan_algut4 Starfield 2022 (@hernan_algut4) reported

    @litaboga @The_CrapGamer @MldGhost If Nintendo had their XGP like service more people would have the opportunity to play Astral Chain unfortunately got overshadowed by Fire Emblem and Pokemon Sword and Shield

  • BWrfwd Worfwood (@BWrfwd) reported

    @Necksplitter You don't even need to dig deep to find issues with Skyward Sword. The game did so many things wrong that Nintendo had to course correct so hard they ended creating a game that it was almost its opposite, Breath of the Wild.

  • basedpersona4 Awesome Persona 4 Facts (@basedpersona4) reported

    @imPulse00001 the real trouble with the nintendo account is that its overrun with "nintendo bad" or "nintendo can do no bad" extremists, much like the PS and Xbox comments being littered with "X system better"

  • CHRISTO76981380 CHRISTOPHER BIDDLE (@CHRISTO76981380) reported

    @MarioMario31802 @kristjian @NintendoAmerica It is a problem tho???

  • Zetsuboushitta 絶望 -- わっしょい!// Questing against dragons in 2D. (@Zetsuboushitta) reported

    @VGDensetsu The ROM file was corrected 3 years ago & documented as such at No-Intro. Upsilandre used an old version of the ROM file (with an incorrect iNES header). The error was detected back then & verified against multiple new dump sources + verification with a leaked Nintendo lotcheck.

  • LoudCartoonist LoudCartoonist99 (@LoudCartoonist) reported

    @JoseBer56296540 @Crimson_Mayhem_ Nah, if Nintendo chose Crash for FP2, that would have happened long before it was revealed of what Activision was enabling. And if he is the last fighter, it would be too late to go back on it by now since he's probably near completion.

  • NinTheFolf @NinTheFolf@vulpine.club (@NinTheFolf) reported

    Nintendo keeps throwing new items at animal crossing like that'll fix the fact no one is playing it anymore. Im not going back for another dumb item. I'll go back when characters don't have a cardboard personality.

  • ewitsmoth (@ewitsmoth) reported

    @MemeSlayer09 @The_568 The problem with it was there hadn’t been a new AC game in years and nintendo shat out a massive disappointment on its own it isn’t the worst game ever but it is unbelievably pointless and i can guarantee a lot of long time AC players were probably too pissed to enjoy it lmao

  • RandomName256 May (@RandomName256) reported

    @MenningOwen That "if" is doing a lot of legwork. Nintendo's online is so poorly programmed that you need really good internet to avoid lag. And they expect everyone to have that good internet. It's unrealistic. Also, servers would also work flawlessly if everyone had good internet.

  • jadedonaldson dont talk to me (@jadedonaldson) reported

    first world problem but i’ve lost my tv remote so i can’t change the channel from my amazon stick to my nintendo switch and it’s pissing me off more than it should do

  • Shinmaru Shinmaru (@Shinmaru) reported

    @popcornparfait nintendo would shut it down because all the continuity errors and shoddy animation would horrify them
