    @NintendoAmerica Anybody having trouble going on Nintendo eShop?

  • G1gab1tes Tyler/Bona @ Kino (@G1gab1tes) reported

    Nintendo please fix your online holy ****

  • NH_Wooktent Noah Huff (@NH_Wooktent) reported

    @OceanMan368 @videogamedeals Oh yeah, it's 100% still an issue. But it's better than the extreme drift I get from the official Nintendo products. I was just clarifying "slightly drifting" for honesty's sake.

  • howliehowls Fem Boy Color (@howliehowls) reported

    @jeremy124 I don’t... think it will?? Idk I personally haven’t run into any supply issues esp with Nintendo games but maybe I’m lucky. Worst case I’d buy digital

  • MonadoBoy16 James Strong (@MonadoBoy16) reported

    @supermario35th Now, the issue about this game not getting released on Switch is not Nintendo, it's Square Enix.

  • Binoossb Binoo (@Binoossb) reported

    imo anyone that is dming nintendo about their own main and not the general problems with the game is super cringe

  • Zerpz3 Zerpz 🔞 (@Zerpz3) reported

    I said this but I didn't even get to start because I'm dealing with credit card fraud problems after some **** head hacked into my Nintendo Switch account so IDK if I'll even have to energy to even begin. Change your passwords, yo.

  • Cyntifa KJ, Pastor of the Church of the Waifu Trinity (@Cyntifa) reported

    I think Nintendo should remove the ability to intentionally disconnect from a match of Smash online. At least still give the winner GSP if the other person plays most of the match.

  • AnthonyIfHirsch Anthony Hirsch (@AnthonyIfHirsch) reported

    All the new Nintendos now have a giant intentional hole broken into the middle of the screen. It’s a new ambitious rebrand they’re doing. there’s another screen of controls inside. The stylist goes in and out of the hole as you play the game... Nintendo is rebranding to Innuendo.

  • Just_Mate_Dude 🔥I BELIEVE IN PYRO SUPREMACY🔥 (@Just_Mate_Dude) reported

    @MadameLucario @youstinkmike @DPPt_Shitpost about EA with fifa, we are talking about Nintendo with Pokemon, Zelda, Smash, the freaking Mario. Those are the king of the industry and look what they are doing. Then whats next? wheres the limit? we are going back and that is a problem. +

  • Cristian_CBF Vinsmoke_Chris ✪ (@Cristian_CBF) reported

    @videogamedeals People are so used to Nintendo’s and or the Pokémon company antics that they don’t see a problem with a 15 year old game that’s pretty much a remaster rather than a remake to be priced at 60 dollars

  • MatWBT Mat Bradley-Tschirgi (@MatWBT) reported

    @ArtofNP This was the first issue of Nintendo Power I ever received in the mail

  • TheSuperSub402 thesupersub (@TheSuperSub402) reported

    @Nova70186628 @PJiggles_ You need it if you want to use Nintendo’s terrible servers with less lag than usual

  • thelittlestkit ChoccyChipp (@thelittlestkit) reported

    Sometimes when I want to stir up trouble I find my high school bullys' etsy shops and report their disney/nintendo/whatever tumblers for copyright infringement

  • TheKoopaKingman Bowserman EX (@TheKoopaKingman) reported

    Money can't buy everything but it CAN buy me a copy of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time for the Nintendo Switch

  • pistonfists PROFESSIONAL PUNCHMAN 🏳️‍🌈 (@pistonfists) reported

    @KendySharles @CaseyExplosion If they had released it everywhere and then retroactively decided it would be Steam only, I would have a problem with that. But developer exclusivity isn’t new and ultimately I think it’s fine. Look at any Nintendo game.

  • _peskypaws 𝘧𝘭𝘺𝘯𝘯 (@_peskypaws) reported

    i can fix this **** myself but then I'd void the warranty?? what do you want me to do nintendo

  • ShibeBoi2 ShibeBoi (@ShibeBoi2) reported

    Oh no!! There was a communication error :( ok everyone who was on the island send me your in game name + island + Nintendo profile name and I’ll send you the dodo code Dm me!!!

  • Sogreblute1 Sogreblute (@Sogreblute1) reported

    @MajinTensei1 @OhNoItsAlexx Sony was never good at rereleasing games. It seems like every time they rereleased a PS2 game whether on PS3, PS4, or PS Vita it would somehow run, look worse, have bad input lag, and have bugs not in the original PS2 versions. Nintendo not improving online is no surprise to me.

  • okandokand AceAttorneyLover2007 (@okandokand) reported

    @TangelaKFC @NintendoAmerica @GameStop yeah got a problem

  • 121Zayzay ZayZay (@121Zayzay) reported

    Problems with splatoon 2 in 2021 Almost all maps are bad bad matchmaking bad players bad power system bad netcode no in game western representation unplayable combos boring special meta Nintendo unbalanced weapons Splatoon 1 stages

  • TheRedCap30 TheRedCap (@TheRedCap30) reported

    If you feel you have nothing left to live for, just remember Crash 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch this Friday 👀

    @ElroyCrossSlash @568OSS @ianorgreg Everyone's contacting nintendo to fix character's problems and etc lol

  • RivalZss Rival (@RivalZss) reported

    I wish Nintendo would fix that problem online where it starts to lag as soon as you start beating a zoner. Its not Nintendo's fault? W-what? A l-lag switch?????????

  • rushstyled jack (@rushstyled) reported

    @Dylan__ig The thing I like about the switch are old game ports I never have played before from Nintendo coming back and the fact there were big 7th gen console games that is now able to be played handheld much better like AC4 + AC Rogue, and then there's Doom. Problem is just game prices.

  • kendricklyon2 Nameuser44 (@kendricklyon2) reported

    I want to be a nintendo service repair agent so i can fix their switches and wright the n-word in their animal crossing islands

  • _Guhki My name is Neki (@_Guhki) reported

    Hope that if there will be a Nintendo switch Pro, that ssbu will have less in-game lag and maybe rollback?? Is it too much to ask for a good netcode like splatoon 2? (It's still not really that good)
