• TPR (@TPRpiano) reported a minute ago

  @JohnCaden64 I have no problem with it at all. Although if the original rights holders (Nintendo, Warner, etc) don't like it, there's not much I can do. I haven't heard of any issues, though.

  Also, please note that we will delete Time Attack ranking data that clearly appear to have made use of this issue. *In the case that you have “Personal Best” data or downloaded ghost data saved on your Nintendo Switch console, please delete them manually. [2/3]

• A Real Salmon Run Legend 🦑 (@ElectricSlug) reported 9 minutes ago

  @nintendo @NintendoAmerica Salmon Run often crashes after playing a few rounds, causing the software to close Even if there's no communication error this happens quite often and I have to restart my console before I can reopen Splatoon 3 I know you're working hard to fix issues

  @Marble19841 @omnixero Sony has a worse subscription service than MS. Nintendo has a worse subscription service than MS. Nvidia has a worse subscription service than MS. Please tell me again how MS is "ruining the industry with subscription services." Alternatively just delete your account.

  Everytime I play #Splatoon3 it will always said 'communication error' but didn't nintendo already fixed this error thing? Why is it happening again like bro is impossible to play the game now with all of the communication erorrs 💀

  @ParfaitOpGuide What even the pro controllers drift? I thought it was just a joycon exclusive issue. Anyway remember when Nintendo hardware were designed to be sturdy and reliable?

• Chimerical (@Ch1mer1cal) reported 20 minutes ago

  SO Nintendo says Joycon drift is impossible to fix due to how the controllers are built. But new joycons are 70$... They were required by the government to fix them for free because they can go bad in a few weeks, but then charge 70 for them. This is getting stupid.

• NIB (@nib95_) reported 20 minutes ago

  @roborat14 What on Earth are you talking about? Live service F2P but 1 model of game, traditional $70 games still exist & can be/often are profitable, inc SP games without mtx (ask Nintendo/Sony). You're going to look real silly when Ragnarok lights the charts up, +GT7/HFW still charting.

• Sheadon | Yoshi Flames Fan (@DatRagingYoshi7) reported 20 minutes ago

  @Pheonixmaster1 Must be an issue with Nintendo Mobile Games in general. I’ve also seen numerous names like that in Mario Kart Tour and I have no idea why Nintendo didn’t add a filter to the naming system of their Mobile Games.
