    Guys what if we all just went on quickpkay and played Steve do Nintendo would have to see an issue

  • maplemiles123 Maple Miles (@maplemiles123) reported

    @DrinkyBird_ The servers are fine and no point for Nintendo to fix them since their not broken your just being a spoiled brat

  • rolf2he RolfTheBolf (@rolf2he) reported

    @DanEsqA @Sora_Sakurai Nintendo games are $10 less than all other consoles. The subscription service is also cheaper (nso basic is $40 less than ps+ basic)

    @Nintendo fix ur game

  • RafaMarquinaYT Rafa Marquina (@RafaMarquinaYT) reported

    @Dave19Brown83 @saltellezjr @NintendoAmerica he's not wrong tho, it seemed that nintendo suffered less emulation issues when including games for their nes/fam, snes/sfam and genesis/md collections than the nintendo 64 collection, so a GBA collection couldn't be a bad idea... (they include spiderman gba at the end lmfao)

  • Achimel_DL Michael (@Achimel_DL) reported

    This save file video is completed, but I now have an issue. I cannot GeoBlock the video, so Nintendo has a risk of seeing it. I'm not sure if I should risk it or just give it to a few people and have it spread like wildfire

  • YaBoiIsaacHayes Isaac (@YaBoiIsaacHayes) reported

    @NintendoAmerica due to repeated disconnects on your end, I just got demoted in salmon run for ******* nothing. Fix your connection bullshit

  • Kitdrewne Kitdrewne (@Kitdrewne) reported

    @Kiwilittle_ It could mean there is an issue with the charger itself. Does it show any indication when you plug it in? If you have access to another Nintendo Switch power adapter or another USB type C charger from something else, try plugging it into that for an hour and see if it works.

  • Blitz_spl Blitz (@Blitz_spl) reported

    @SplatoonJP @SplatoonNA @NintendoAmerica your game is ****, fix it please 💀💀💀

  • cephaIoparade six 🧨 TEAM FIRE (@cephaIoparade) reported

    Nintendo i swear to god one more comm error.

  • TanukiDad Sweet Leaves Dad (@TanukiDad) reported

    @Kitsune4673 Mmm, fair point, but their games still use a schema that's outside every other console and PC. I don't have a problem with the button order on the controller per se, it's just that Nintendo menus operate completely opposite of every other menu system on the market.

    Im glad I bought it because I do enjoy the Nintendo Online Individual Membership plus Expansion Pack service It needs more N64 games and the pack itself needs more perks. Im also glad I bought it because I dont have to worry about the expiration date for a few years. Lol (2/2)

    @CharMayCry Not to defend Nintendo but this might be running on Yuzu or Ryujinx, i believe this to be the case because people previously lied about *some* issues with Colors that were the fault of the emulator

  • sleepynava 💙Sleepy Nava💙 (@sleepynava) reported

    @Nintendo fix ur game

  • maximoXjd JD Wolf (@maximoXjd) reported

    @jasperbyrne You could only find if you played from start to finish in one play thru. We missed it because we weren't playing straight thru we were using level skip code to test problem levels. Best part is the only game code issue Nintendo slammed us with was if you hammered on

  • Sonicfan22221 bookworm📚🍯 (@Sonicfan22221) reported

    So I just transferred a pokemon from legends arceus To sword @NintendoAmerica is this a glitch, if so will I get in trouble for it?

  • TheHosterian Hosterian (@TheHosterian) reported

    Hello Everyone yes I'm ranting about Splatoon 3 again but for a good reason does it feel like every time Nintendo says they would "Fix" Something it just gets worse for example they "Fixed" the delay of picking up a golden egg in Salmon run but then proceeded to make it worse!

  • avgxenoenjoyer average xeno enjoyer || #xenoblade 3 (@avgxenoenjoyer) reported

    @TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I’m having trouble using YouTube on Nintendo switch, the app works fine but no videos are loading, but when I use guest mode it works fine, my account also works or all other devices, Iv been having this problem for a few days now.

  • Josh72051 HazelNut (@Josh72051) reported

    @DokoroNuki @LuigiBlood Someone at Nintendo needs to fix this!

  • MysticTactician Mystic Tactician (@MysticTactician) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix this garbage netcode they call Splatoon 3. How is it that I can aim at someone point blank & I die but they get away unscathed? Like, I am clearly hitting them & they should have lost the engagement. Nah, let's not give you the trade/win. What?

  • SpookyTBG Spooky The Breathtaking Gamer 🇺🇸 LET MS COMPETE! (@SpookyTBG) reported

    @LarsVerbNL You are also a liar! If you played on all consoles you wouldn’t have a problem with someone being positive towards Xbox or Nintendo. Try harder!

  • CAV883 CAV88 (@CAV883) reported

    @DJK1NG_Gaming YEA THIS NARRATIVE ABOUT "PERFORMANCE" ISSUES IS A FOOL. JUST SAY U HATE NINTENDO

  • CountCooki CountCooki (@CountCooki) reported

    @That_Guy_Negus Assuming you mean Pokemon I think it's more of a TPC issue since Nintendo is generally hands off with second party games like that. As for other games? Well Zelda recently got Voiced cutscene and...Splatoon technically has voice acting? As for mario and other games? Meh

  • sweetblueflag MR COCO STAN ACCOUNT (@sweetblueflag) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you please fix splat3 matchmaking i got put on a team made entirely of backliners
