    @NintendoAmerica Fix your ****** online infrastructure

  • sayzar94 sayzar 🇪🇨 (@sayzar94) reported

    @TheMaractusMan @ShaunV2 @NintendoAmerica Again: the entire world exists because of a human emotion. It is not that far fetched that human emotion also allowed the rules to be broken. It’s a convenient reason that could still make sense within the context of the world

  • maplericecooker Snowcooker (@maplericecooker) reported

    Network errors again…. Lost two ranked matches in a row because of it.. This is really annoying. @SplatoonNA @NintendoAmerica #Splatoon3

  • Raylaxy_Man Raylaxy (@Raylaxy_Man) reported

    I was in the victory screen, I got a win bonus to exp, and I didn't disconnect from the game. Nintendo scamming me to not rank up right now I swear

  • Dianazoic 🦖🏳️‍⚧️🌊 Rhyacian Diana (@Dianazoic) reported

    @clumsystiggy Omg same!! I was so anxious I couldn't do all the counters and stuff. And I was only able to figure out the final dungeon because I had an issue of Nintendo Power that explained it. it also had a strategy guide for the Shroob Queen but I wasn't good enough to follow it

    @NintendoAmerica Just fixing the insane amount of communication errors would be nice. @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA

  • jzdnl nori 🍞 (@jzdnl) reported

    @awkwardtypeos ah i just know splatoon is popular with many age demographics. but i mean, if it’s been an issue, shouldn’t nintendo be on it? like it’s dumb to keep it around if it’s going to keep being a problem 🤔 and if it’s that big of a problem… don’t let the kid use it rn? idk.

  • KneelLane Kristin V (@KneelLane) reported

    @PlayStation so Nintendo offers to fix controller drift issues at any time but you will only do it for a year? 🤨I’ve had my PS5 a little over a year and I am already having drift issues

  • lorenagl85 Loreniki (@lorenagl85) reported

    Wow.. Tonight seems impossible to play #Splatoon3 I can’t believe they haven’t fixed the Communication Error 😒 @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA

  • ooo_roses roses. (@ooo_roses) reported

    @STLRTundra @nightcorebanksy not at all! personally, I find people's uproar about a drawing of a Nintendo canonically vore-doing character (which started this whole thread discussion) to be the tamest thing ever and am surprised it's an issue, especially because literally anything can be a fetish/kink. >>>

  • TheBrentM51 Brent Morrison (@TheBrentM51) reported

    @Trueben14 @OrangeGrove55 Exactly what I was thinking, if rumors are true that Zaslav is looking to flip it to Universal, Disney would be huge trouble if Universal had Harry Potter, Nintendo, and DC!

  • Sleepy7214 Sleepy (@Sleepy7214) reported

    nintendo fix your communication errors

  • NovaBitz Seren (@NovaBitz) reported

    I guess #Nintendo is never gonna fix their janky online connection problems with #Splatoon. Seeing as how it has been going on since Splatoon on the WiiU.

  • SodaPopSpy17 ✦ Dee ✦ (@SodaPopSpy17) reported

    Nintendo, fix your ****. I'm tired of getting communication errors at the end of the match and I end up being penalized even though I have a strong connection. This is annoying. I have to wait 10 minutes to play again because the game thinks I purposely disconnected. #Splatoon3

  • General92538040 General Grievous (@General92538040) reported

    @FortniteStatus Did you fix that crashing glitch for Nintendo switch? Every time I start a new match in-game with my friend it kicks me out

  • WaterTribeJ Jared (@WaterTribeJ) reported

    @Playstation Store has responded in such a manner that I’m likely gonna purchase @Xbox or @NintendoAmerica for my next console. That’s how you kill your business Playstation, shite customer service that feels like a scam to steal people’s money. Absolutely disgraceful.

  • PoopedMyShirt Cable (@PoopedMyShirt) reported

    Also the game needs to be on something more powerful than a phone from 2015. I won't hold that as a negative against the game, though. That's a Nintendo problem. They worked wonders to have the game perform as well as it could, so big props to them for that.

  • cemi_SPL cémi (@cemi_SPL) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the online!

  • TheMaractusMan Blubble (@TheMaractusMan) reported

    @sayzar94 @ShaunV2 @NintendoAmerica They have established rules and those rules were broken. “Feeling really hard” with no explanation is not a “convenient reason”. It is an inconsistent plot hole

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • ewwwwgrosss ewwwwgross (@ewwwwgrosss) reported

    Just counted 7 communication errors in a 15m timeframe. Why is this not being addressed? If anything, it’s gotten worse since the “patch”. @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA

  • NovaBitz Seren (@NovaBitz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica when are y’all gonna fix the crappy connections on Splatoon? It’s been happening since S1. Y’all are on S3. What’s the fking issue?

  • sharkEnabler 🦈🌈rich dotcom's malewife🌈🦈 (@sharkEnabler) reported
