    @whyyylmao @Knower85667267 ??? Yeah, I said Nintendo. They're the ones making sure everything is up to standard. It's their fault that the level has such a game breaking glitch.

  • Dubug03 ThatGuyKen (💙 Forspoken 💙) (@Dubug03) reported

    @DdkSelby @WorldsXbox GP on console is already slowing down and PC is doing good but gamepass also just missed their goals for Gamepass by like 10 million even with billions of potential customers. Why has Nintendo's sub service already surpassed GP in subs in less time with less people to reach?

  • unknown404real mia 404 (@unknown404real) reported

    @PufuuLive I tested the swig lag before I realized Nintendo can ban you for 2 weeks...oops

  • JerimoyS Jerimoy the generic man (@JerimoyS) reported

    @miketysonsmouth No problem! Nintendo, while sometimes sucky as a company, are usually pretty helpful when you run into issues.

  • doctoroctoroc Doctor Octoroc (@doctoroctoroc) reported

    @ChrisBCrisps Oddly enough, never was an RPG guy myself, but Dragon Warrior is the one that got me interested. I remember getting a subscription to Nintendo Power along with the DW issue and a copy of the game and the first time I saw a blue slime I was like, okay, let's see...

  • ZulqRoyale ZulqRoyale (@ZulqRoyale) reported

    @FuuTop1 I know the mainline ones sell themselves but jrpgs don't sell so well on xbox and with GP,we've seen less go for buying because they'd rather wait for it to go on the service. in Nintendo case the hardware limits are there so those titles won't run well on the platform

  • LinnyUwU - Lin - (@LinnyUwU) reported

    @TerrarianAether @dewmint_ @PufuuLive not like Nintendo's awful online service already ruins most of the fun

  • gojologies sica (@gojologies) reported

    Nintendo better fix my switch I just bought it 😡

  • shlraru 🧽🥳ginger ale *****🥳🧽 (@shlraru) reported

    It’s literally ******* bullshit that I get a communication error when I’m BACK IN THE LOBBY and I lose the win and my gear doesn’t get upgraded but the drink gets used okay okay cool I love Nintendo servers

  • Kiu_bee Cuby (@Kiu_bee) reported

    @AquillisArtz @Knower85667267 I’m not defending nintendo, nor am I defending the curious here, explain why I wasn’t banned when I did the glitch in the PB, lemme hear this explanation.

  • joshallanmpls2 Josh Allan (@joshallanmpls2) reported

    Finally bought a #NintendoSwitch. I'm surprised to learn there are zero Game Boy games on their Online service. It seems like a no-brainer. #Nintendo @NintendoAmerica

  • Xu_SAM_uX 🌿✨ X SAM X ✨🌿 (@Xu_SAM_uX) reported

    @CheWoomy I just hope Nintendo really recognizes that Salmon Run players have this kind of glitch as well, as a player who loves this game mode I find it somewhat annoying.

  • plutoonium_ Pluto (@plutoonium_) reported

    @WATER40K the issue i have with it is that there’s zero brand recognition in a CROSSOVER. the name super smash brothers just FEELS like a nintendo crossover and multiversus is just… something to do with the multiverse and fighting. there’s no way to know by the name that its WB

  • Dubug03 ThatGuyKen (💙 Forspoken 💙) (@Dubug03) reported

    @Fred420170 @WorldsXbox Am I? what about Nintendo's sub service, it was started after Gamepass and already surpassed Gamepass? Gamepass has been here longer and has the potential to reach billions of people and it's a great deal apparently, of course GP's value is there but how is Nintendo doing better?

  • Destroyer19_19 Short mute man 🙊 (@Destroyer19_19) reported

    Nintendo maybe you shouldn't ask people to give feedback about customer service when you declined their refund request lol

  • ethangach AmericanTruckSongs9 (@ethangach) reported

    Related: when Fortnite suprise launched on Switch, Nintendo's own customer service reps were caught completely off guard. Some said they were immediately inundated by instance of fraud and parents angry over kids' purchases.

  • CrispyEX Crispy 🆗️ (@CrispyEX) reported

    As soon as Nintendo or Sony incorporate "Post Capture to X" functionality to their respective systems for some service that isn't F*cebook or In*tagram I'm outta here. That'll really be indicator as to which of these many platforms will win The Gamers.

  • joshuaskyevan Komaru Evans (@joshuaskyevan) reported

    @DarkKyuubi7 Glitches happen you can’t expect everything sometimes code breaks when the creators least expect it blaming nintendo is a bad move at least their gonna fix it

  • shlraru 🧽🥳ginger ale *****🥳🧽 (@shlraru) reported

    I’ve literally never had this issue until RECENTLY nintendo should’ve prepared their serevers or something for the holiday season KNOWING that a bunch of new people are going to play I hate it here

  • WorldsXbox Worlds (@WorldsXbox) reported

    @Dubug03 @DdkSelby Nintendo’s subscription service is similar to Xbox Live Gold. It's required for online play. It's tough comparing subscription services though across platforms because they are all pretty different. Each service has things that set it apart from every other service.

  • AdoptedRamen TeeJay (@AdoptedRamen) reported

    @Luquas12 Damn bro tent is broken af. @NintendoAmerica this needs nerfed asap

  • dameunpolvoron Ale (@dameunpolvoron) reported

    Where is Alex? She's not working Yeah, but where is she? Probably in her room (Viene a tocar la 🚪) Alex I know you're not working but do you want to play Nintendo and eat some sour candy? Evan 9 años , sabe cómo comprarme.

  • AquillisArtz AquillisArtz🔞 (@AquillisArtz) reported

    @Kiu_bee @Knower85667267 ???? No? It's Nintendo's fault for leaving a glitch that's easily exploitable in a game that's meant to be online. It's Nintendo's fault of slapping someone with a ban instead of actually fixing it. Don't blame the curious for something the company failed to fix.

  • d0ugmantis Doug (@d0ugmantis) reported

    @anjaperryyeet I feel like we should discuss this in vc later, because I’m still having trouble finding the difference between the way ai makes art and humans make art. Ex: My music borrows many of its ideas from fearofdark and Nintendo, but I’m under no obligation to credit them for my music.

  • AquillisArtz AquillisArtz🔞 (@AquillisArtz) reported

    @Kiu_bee @Knower85667267 If the bug didn't exist, Pufuu wouldn't have had the curiosity to try it. Ergo, you're blaming the curious. Again, I stated the match that Pufuu tried the glitch in WAS a private battle, yet Nintendo stamped down on them for it. You'r just repeating yourself.

  • ItsBlueDJ FluDJ  (@ItsBlueDJ) reported

    People should not be defending others for abusing the Etail glitch in public matches. The bans are deserved. They are ruining the experience for others and Nintendo made the right move suspending their online access from the game.

  • shlraru 🧽🥳ginger ale *****🥳🧽 (@shlraru) reported

    @poplyy_ Nintendo spends all its money on copyright lawsuits and not on provided a good service

  • mattAndMurabito Matt 😳🔞🍥 (@mattAndMurabito) reported

    @PufuuLive Nintendo switch online is a joke Also this just manifests how lazy Nintendo has become fix the goddam glic!!

  • xAlasteonXox Alasteon (@xAlasteonXox) reported

    @Dtbtheyakuzaman Upgraded, crossplay is here but... is it for all consoles like Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch? NUH UH! NUH UH! Listen to me: It's only for Epic Games, which makes no sense! And you need to sign in to your Epic Games acc to play SRIV. Unbelievable.

  • Six1Eye Six1Eye (@Six1Eye) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON It’s why PS had no intent to ever give it games free via a subscription service, it just doesn’t cut it and I was very doubtful GamePass is making any profits, am I surprised no, not at all this is Xbox last opportunity otherwise it’s gone or becomes 3rd party for PS/Nintendo/PC
