    In other words, Nintendo *can* and *will* issue DMCA takedown notices for whatever reason whatsoever. Including because they just felt like it, and just wanna see their own fanbase erupt. In other words, "Screw the rules, I have money!"

    @CactusCorps @snarkysunbro And that's the problem...I love Nintendo but they are lazy as **** with this subscription service not paying 80 a year for icons

  • SuddenlyPigeons Rougefield (@SuddenlyPigeons) reported

    @NintendoUK The game is so frickin fun but the connection errors are so infuriating, especially when I disconnect and it gives my teammates a loss rather than me

  • The_P0werstar Powerstar (@The_P0werstar) reported

    @ItWasTom @NintendoFunnie Nintendo "Fans" "could" "read" something like "crash bandicoot" and "think"

  • hundredfaye HundredFaye (@hundredfaye) reported

    Also if you have a modded 3ds and it breaks, you’re on your own Either buy a new one, fix it yourself or have someone else that isn’t Nintendo fix it for you

  • SerenPM Seren (@SerenPM) reported

    I love playing Splatoon 3 but these unfair communication errors penalizing me for terrible Nintendo servers isn’t it

  • JunkoAmamiya 𝕯𝖊𝖘𝖕𝖆𝖎𝖗 𝕼𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖓 (Chrome-atica Style) (@JunkoAmamiya) reported

    @Goated_Himself @SnipezIsCool No problem goated. I Always use your code. It's even saved in my Nintendo switch keyboard.

  • DBDconquest Hazel Fabrizio (@DBDconquest) reported

    Nintendo is the most infuriating gaming company. Charge for online that doesn't work. How is the disconnect situation so bad in splat 3, and why is smash online miserable. They rack in so much money

  • LLuigi2020 LegendaryLuigi2022 (@LLuigi2020) reported

    @hoshiko_jessie So in online it shows on your screen that you hit them but in reality on their screen they had a item to stop it it’s a Nintendo problem really

  • mirensiart miry 🏹💚 (@mirensiart) reported

    @TheJeminiteLaw i have to look around for places around here that offer the repair service, since nintendo's official joy con repair service doesn't cover my country lol and i suck at tinkering with electronics, so fixing them myself is a no go lol

  • dyllyp Dylan Park-Pettiford (@dyllyp) reported

    When I was a kid, the dentist said I needed braces for my overbite. At the time it wasn’t pressing but I’d likely have jaw problems in the future without them. But they cost $5K. My mom said “You don’t need braces that bad. How about I buy you a Super Nintendo instead?” Deal. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

    @roIIingst4r FR THO IMMA NEED NINTENDO TO STOP LYING WHEN THEY SAY THEY FOXED MAJORITY OF COMM ERROR ISSUES BC THATS STILL A DAMN LIE

  • Planetaire27 Spooktaire 🌻🌾🎃 (@Planetaire27) reported

    @SoupMarioGamer iirc Nintendo and HAL own a 50/50 stake in the IP and im pretty sure both would be down, the main issue is the 3rd parties i bet

  • togekissies RAE.ink 🌈☀️ (@togekissies) reported

    @kittenisacat REEEALLY hoping nintendo fixes it. it's never been a top tier special, but you're right, it's a lot of fun! while they're at it they should fix the janky hitboxes when trying to revive people in salmon run...

  • akaliyoo Akali 🇦🇹 (@akaliyoo) reported

    For anyone looking at this profile: - I own a gaming PC - I own a Xbox Series X/S - I own a Nintendo Switch And yes, I would probably own a PS5 if availability and costs wouldn't be an issue. I own a PS4 though.

  • ouchington Ouchington (@ouchington) reported

    @jordizzle this is just like ugly sonic. hopefully nintendo will delay the movie by several months to fix this atrocious mistake before they go BANKRUPT

  • jayhawk429 Bryan (@jayhawk429) reported

    @FortniteStatus ever since the last update I can’t access the map on Nintendo switch. Is this a known issue?

  • NoNameGAV N.N.GAV☢️ (@NoNameGAV) reported

    @nescartridges Shouldn't be an issue cause Nintendo has their own Film studio now

  • VixiVulpixel 🧡 VixiWEEN 🏳️‍⚧️ | Mythic Sys (@VixiVulpixel) reported

    We got a communication error immediately after that game as if Nintendo was like "Yo that play was too sick y'all need to cool it"

  • Rawstflavored Strawberryflavored (@Rawstflavored) reported

    @ai_wa_ If you login on Nintendo’s website with the account you use for feh, are you able to edit the login details to add the additional login?

    👀Have you been following the @PlayOverwatch news? No? 🎮 How about @PlayStation's plans for PC Ports after a year, but Live Service released day of? Not that either? 🙌 Surely you know about the @NintendoAmerica Direct in a day or two? You might want to listen to the podcast!

  • TylerFriend44 YourFriendTyler/Nia The Night Fox (@TylerFriend44) reported

    So my Nintendo switch has not been charging for a long time, I tried cleaning and other tutorials Im not able to fix it without sending it to Nintendo, I really want to play it again, I don't want to risk breaking it with the hardware... Anyone can help me?

  • Pwnsolo Michael DOrazio (@Pwnsolo) reported

    @EpicGames hey your whole “This appears to be a new device” check your email for a code system is embarrassingly broken. Emails take 4ever if ever and often don’t work or have been too long since they were sent. I flat out tell every1 don’t buy my kids vbucks. Buy Nintendo cards

  • KhanOfTheSultai Goblin_Lord_07 (@KhanOfTheSultai) reported

    Tried to play some overwatch 2 waited 2 hours to get in to the game 1st game it ******* crashes, and not only does it crash, it also murders my switch. Oh no, my switch is on but the screen is just black. I can do the zoom in thing that no one ever uses. @NintendoAmerica

  • oZonimi Alex (@oZonimi) reported

    @0MyNameIsntReal @infrarogue89 Another issue raised by CADE is Sony's argument claiming that Call of Duty are essential games and therefore Nintendo could not compete in the market but ended up showing sales performance far superior to PlayStation and Xbox without such an essential game.
