  • hsojlightfoot 🏳️‍🌈 Joshua Carpenter 🎮 (@hsojlightfoot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @illumination @UniversalPics Pratt got replaced.......right? Right? Only problem for me. He really didn't sound like Mario. Just his regular voice.

  • YT_IM_A_CAT I'm A Cat 🐈 (@YT_IM_A_CAT) reported

    @Benjanime @AlvaroRivera86 @NintendoAmerica I really wanted to get this for my daughter cause she loves pokemon and I play with her all the time but damn this game isn't finished & they're not known for releasing patches that fix performance issues. The project should've been outsourced to a larger studio.

    That seals the deal. I’m no longer a Splatoon player. Been a loyal supporter since 2014 and this is the final straw. Nintendo has turned this game into a disaster. Uninstalling tonight & taking my skills to Fortnite where they know how to run a live service shooter. Goodbye 👋🏽

  • HECKSALMONIDS doesnt matter ojamajos, FORT NITE is better than b (@HECKSALMONIDS) reported

    sorry nintendo but no amount of big run or good sr buffs will fix the fact that you put marooner's bay back in the game

  • voidfelI JD (@voidfelI) reported

    @kyuudenrobo you can look at another Nintendo property: Zelda It didn't have any real VA work until their LAST 2 GAMES and it was never an actual issue before then because it didn't feel like it should be there, it was very clearly built around Not being voiced 99.9% of the time

  • TunaSADwich Detective Popcorn (@TunaSADwich) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @illumination @UniversalPics Did you fix Mario's voice yet? And by that I mean fire Pratt.

  • IgiesZ Adam Shepherd (@IgiesZ) reported

    @Nexussfire @briantylercohen @elonmusk Sony, Microsoft, Google, Nintendo have done this for YEARS! This has been the standard fee since you could process any transaction thru an online service for hardware.

  • Charlie01081586 Ultimate break 82 (@Charlie01081586) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix Witcher 3 steam cloud data please

  • MarcAntoineMa13 Astrael (@MarcAntoineMa13) reported

    @musky_canine @Christo50766370 @CivGame Also they dont have to certify on Nintendo, which is the toughest one to get through. If Firaxis could release it right now they would. Its probably because of crashes or some issues that are not still fixed.

  • KnivesEcoXp Kni(● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾Ves (@KnivesEcoXp) reported

    @Donovan70068073 It's strange, Xbox has been so pathetic for so long that everyone forgets that Microsoft is a two trillion dollar company. Far bigger than Sony and Nintendo put together. But people still don't see the problem with Xbox owning all the big game companies.

  • benkershner kersh@hachyderm.io (@benkershner) reported

    @dackerman @0x21376B00 Surely the Nintendo Wii-inspired teleconferencing service will generate more revenue than the largest surveillance capitalism apparatus ever built in human history.

  • Ragtoppy_temper Sam Sanei (Blue) (@Ragtoppy_temper) reported

    @LunarLem0n call nintendo or chat the error

  • kaaaailaaaa Kaila💕 (@kaaaailaaaa) reported

    They got me ****** up, 2 Nintendo switches BROKE, 2 flat screens BROKE , 2 windows BROKE! Not even speaking on the toys that constantly being broken. I’m done replacing stuff until they know how to take care of what they got!

  • bigsolarflare_ dyL isnt doing anythjng of note (@bigsolarflare_) reported

    @SplatoonNA That seals the deal. I’m no longer a Splatoon player. Been a loyal supporter since 2014 and this is the final straw. Nintendo has turned this game into a disaster. Uninstalling tonight & taking my skills to Fortnite where they know how to run a live service shooter. Goodbye 👋

    @NintendoAmerica @illumination @UniversalPics Why are you ignoring your customers' pleas regarding Pokémon Scarlet and Violet issues?

    @StokedTheorem I see so many people with glitches but I have a physical copy and I have only really seen lag with is something all Nintendo online has

  • ElisePretzelise Pretzelise 🐀 (@ElisePretzelise) reported

    @HenselRay I have obtained the means to modify my Nintendo Switch. I will be using this device (a "jig") to apply a "softmod" (modification without physically changing the hardware) to the Nintendo Switch. This will likely result in my Nintendo Switch Online service being banned.

  • OG_OluAK Unidentified Black Male (@OG_OluAK) reported

    Can’t stand the lag switching on smash bros quickplay people love trying to defend Nintendo and swear it’s not possible but I know you can purposefully lag

  • PunishedNeutral 🌶️🍪 Chaotic Neutral 🔞 (@PunishedNeutral) reported

    Look, I ain't gonna pretend that the switch isn't "weak", but ffs Nintendo has pumped out some nice looking games that are consistently 60 FPS meanwhile since Sun & Moon (iirc) they've had performance issues, and it's only increased since they started pokemon on the switch

  • CP_NewsOnline Cyberpunk News Online (@CP_NewsOnline) reported

    @anime_bunnie I can't speak of Nintendo as I don't play any of their games, however CDPR does SEEM to have learned it's lesson. Took them 2 years to mostly repair their rep. However the issue then is the rabid fans who send death threats when a delay is mentioned. Gamers need to do better too.

  • kittenisacat kit (@kittenisacat) reported

    lmfaoooooooo the angle shooter mark applier buff...nintendo is like :)) did we do it? did we do a good job?? no....no the damage and paint output is the issue. not the speed and range

  • Sabrina28975 💙Sabrina💙 (@Sabrina28975) reported

    @cycequeen My problem with Santa is that he gives I-phones and Nintendo Switches. However economically challenges kids only get what charities give them. Santa comes but they are never good enough to get a Nintendo Switch. That effects them.

  • AvreltheTeller Avrel (@AvreltheTeller) reported

    @Roundybout Can’t believe Nintendo looked at all their data and decided “yes, liter’s wave breaker is the problem here”

  • IrisAgateVT Iris Agate ✨GODDESS ARC✨ (@IrisAgateVT) reported

    I’m seeing so many problems 💀 like wtf. I feel like boo boo the fool rn. NINTENDO IS NOT A SMALL INDIE COMPANY. THEY CHARGED $60 WITH THEIR WHOLE CHEST KNOWING WHAT THIS WAS. And I and many others enable them every ****** time, thinking it’ll be better

  • Migada767 Raul (@Migada767) reported

    @ViciousFGC I think it might have been an issue with the panthera firmware, my Nintendo pro controller couldn't replicate this at the same time as the Pantera when it was happening

  • pinkypaca porch (@pinkypaca) reported

    @C0LESLUSHIE20XX The problem is they dont TRY very much anymore cuz they know the generic kids movies will make money Nintendo is breathing down their necks with this movie, Illumination gonna do good 👍

  • comelasmina_ ian (@comelasmina_) reported

    @NoContextSMG4 Smg4= super Mario glitch 4 They need to change this name too (Mario is Nintendo property) I have a sugestion, now smg4 can be "super Mariano glitch 4" Also FM now is not longer "fighting Mario" now is "****** mama"
