    Just tried to redeem my code for the Season Pass which was included with the Gold Edition of Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope and it's not working. It's a new game & it keeps coming up that an error has occurred. @UbisoftSupport what gives? Nintendo can't help so hopefully you can.

    Shoutout Universal for not working for the pass member preview for Super Nintendo World. Hopefully it doesn’t randomly work while I’m doing work stuff and miss it

    Gamer problems: playing Xbox last night, then Nintendo Switch today and getting the buttons backwards constantly.

    @CosmicDarg I hate that not only does it make piracy harder BUT IT MAKES GAMES RUN WORSE PROJECT DIVA MEGAMIX+ HAS NO REASON TO LAG EVER, IT IS A NINTENDO SWITCH GAME ON A GAMING PC

    @LordKnightBB Nah you have to be quick regardless of game now💀 Scalpers realized that nintendo LEs can be flipped for a dumb amount. No reason why a game like metroid dread had similar issues to FE or Zelda lmao.

    @SNick_WT Reminds me of an issue the Nintendo Wii, where if you left it on standby mode, it would cause the system to overheat and possibly damage the gpu .

    MiiDavid (@Davis002dio) reported

    @Plushie21YT @MevansOdyssey Yup, I believe Nintendo canceled the “New Switch”, they are not working on it anymore. Probably we will see some announcement of a new console this year.

    I literally planned my day around this Super Nintendo World preview reservations only for them to delay it due to a network issue, lmao, first world problems but c'mon ... these theme parks need to GET IT TOGETHER.

  • OutGeeks
    OutGeeks (@OutGeeks) reported

    @UniStudios, do you plan to publicly clarify what's happening with Super Nintendo Land previews? Is this a short-term issue where passholders should keep hitting refresh? Has the start of reservations been moved to another time or date? Whatever the latest is, please disclose it.

  • JuJulienDev
    Julien (@JuJulienDev) reported

    @chhopsky @DevSpacePrez @mazooter Im guessing this is more of a switch hardware issue + storage + art production rather than a pure content issue then ? I cant imagine actually "programming" pokemon being hard with a nicely data driven system but of course I have no way of knowing how nintendo implements them

    Oh, and the fact that the big swig is bad. It’s literally the coolest looking roller but it’s BAD Please fix it nintendo, I want to use the silly soda cup roller unironically

    @Nintendo FIX YOUR ******* POKEMON GAME. TERA RAIDS ARE A FUXKING JOKE WITH ALL THE BUGGING HEALTH AND "REAL TIME ATTACKING" BULLSHIT. FIRE GAMEFREAK OR GET YOUR **** TOGETHER TO GIVE THEM TIME TO DEVELOP A FUNCTIONING GAME

  • MercyKnifed
    MercyKnifed 🐀 (@MercyKnifed) reported

    @filsdejuls @zeldahorizons because nintendo themselves were trying to make the game into a live service when they held back content that should’ve been in the base game

  • eeveechuster
    Eeveechuster (@eeveechuster) reported

    @wannabedev64 @Mega_Mii51 This is one of my icks, when people want smash to be like melee. When a key part of melees speed is based off a glitch, which turned into an actual thing (wave dashing). Nintendo will probably see it as that when in the context of that, a glitch. Not attacking you, just sharing

    @WxlfyIsDum Devsis is like nintendo. Every update has a new glitch and other is fixed

  • benninez08
    Ben Martinez (@benninez08) reported

    @UniStudios So does the outage mean to just give up today or are we just supposed to keep trying non-stop to get Super Nintendo World reservations? I have a life besides this (not really but still).

  • FairyTaleMindy
    Mindy (may or may not be notable) (@FairyTaleMindy) reported

    @FrshBakedDisney This is the message:"Due to a temporary network outage, there is a delay with today’s reservations. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and apologize for the inconvenience. Please check back and we look forward to you experiencing SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ soon."

    Ofc there’s a network outage for the Nintendo World reservations 😭

    @kuplswin @MLBTheShow @NintendoAmerica No, game is already broken, we don't need hackers

  • JuJulienDev
    Julien (@JuJulienDev) reported

    @DevSpacePrez @chhopsky @mazooter Yeah although I would argue even an hour per pokemon wouldnt be a big issue for a company like nintendo; it’s probably more of a technical hurdle rather than a content hurdle, at least id think

    Splatoon 3 is too stressful. I just want a peaceful turf war match where I can color the ground but no, I have to literally fight for my life just to walk an inch. Never have I ever felt this stressed in the other Splatoon games. Nintendo REALLY needs to fix matchmaking ffs

    Don’t buy steelbooks from @NintendoUK, they don’t allow you to return them if there is an issue. #poorcustomerservice

    @LiquidHbox Would there be any issues with Nintendo if this sort of thing were to attempt start-up?

  • Mauro37561
    Mauro3756 (@Mauro37561) reported

    @makeupasplatfan Motion controls, but no because of the typical motion sickness or skill issue (I actually learn how to play and get better with them) but because everything points that Nintendo wants you to play with that at the cost of sabotaging stick controls. Let me explain in my replys.
