    imagine if nintendo fixed their online service to not be absolute dogshit

  • Zachman97123 Zachary W (@Zachman97123) reported

    @NinEverything Just fix it and continue adding games. There isn't much else to consider. Nintendo's as bad at adding games as Sony is adding Premium games.

  • inkling_agent3 💚🤍Lunar🏳️‍⚧️💚🤍 (agent 3) (@inkling_agent3) reported

    Nintendo needs to fix their online service like seriously.

    @shionshinigami @Colteastwood Jim Ryan(the real problem) will buy timed exclusivity of the big IP and everything will be peachy because it's him. The guy who did away with Japan Studios, fair pricing outside the states, practically handed Japan to Nintendo on a silver platter which WILL affect JRPGs on PS etc

  • OctoInklin OctoInklin (🔥Team Fire🔥) (@OctoInklin) reported

    [2/2] This was during an open splatfest battle. My team had 2 DCs and the other team had 1. The other team won and Nintendo proceeded to count it as a win instead of a draw. Fix your **** servers and the fairness of your game, Nintendo.

  • OctoInklin OctoInklin (🔥Team Fire🔥) (@OctoInklin) reported

    [1/2] Nintendo proceeded to ban me from playing online for 8 minutes after having a communication error because of their trash servers on Splatoon 3.

  • Marcobuncle Marco González (@Marcobuncle) reported

    @OatmealDome Lol, it's like Nintendo fix something but also screw something in the data during an update XD

  • BlueEyedVibes 🎃Bl̴̈́͒u̶̼̐̌̿̈́̍͝͝e-̸̘̘̳̖͛̈́̀̇Eý̴̽ed Vibe Checker🎃 (@BlueEyedVibes) reported

    @Mrmaxter11 @parbarito @Colteastwood Proof? Compare the power of the Wii to the Xbox 360/PS3 which it outsold both of. Or the Switch to the PS5/XSX or even the XBOne/PS4. It ain't power selling Nintendo systems, only games. Also they cope fine without COD, Jim Ryan's only issue is a skill issue.

    Nintendo if you dont fix your internet connections im gonna **** your dad in front of you

  • himeruhater32 chicken - still hate HiMERU (@himeruhater32) reported

    ive seen so many enstars fans with the nintendo fan problem where they something gets announced and they nitpick it to shreds while disregarding actual problems with the thing idk if this makes sense

  • diamonddolphin4 shea :3 (@diamonddolphin4) reported

    NINTENDO I HATE U PLS FIX SPLATOON IM BEGGING U @NintendoAmerica

  • parbarito Sam (@parbarito) reported

    @Colteastwood Microsoft needs Activision more than Activision needs Microsoft Microsoft will fall further behind Sony and Nintendo without Activision When Xbox Studios are unable to develop their own IP and instead beg for third-party help, you know they're in big trouble

  • lileddyedenn eden (@lileddyedenn) reported

    nintendo i couldn’t stress this enough PLEASE fix your matchmaking system i can’t keep doing this anymore

  • jwestonharvey Jake Harvey (@jwestonharvey) reported

    @St1ka @EdScissorshands Yeah, it had the same issue with the single thumb stick. But it’s support was so poor I don’t really consider it to have had an impact at all. Most games that support it don’t feel any different than playing with a D-pad. Nintendo tried a lot harder.

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • NICEICEICNICE Trav 🦝 (@NICEICEICNICE) reported

    Man Nintendo patched the camera clip glitch. They gave it no collision

  • PandyProduction 🇦🇺Panda Production Studio (Knuckles arc) (@PandyProduction) reported

    @moq_46 Don’t listen to anyone who gave it a 5 or less, it is an epic game and doesn’t have any major issues. Hopefully you can use this as a framework to make the next game even better. The Nintendo Switch version also runs really well, please don’t stop putting them on switch.

  • VaultLink Link Greene (On Hiatus) (@VaultLink) reported

    ⚫Offline⚫ Had a disconnect that Nintendo blamed on me and I didn't feel like sitting waiting for 8 min to play more so I ended about half an hour early

  • NateDoktor EMGG NateDoktor ☢️ (@NateDoktor) reported

    @jacksfilms Fix @NintendoAmerica's bio. #YIAYbio

  • buzzjman Jes Taylor (@buzzjman) reported

    When N64 Switch Online first launched, it was pretty messy & near unplayable online. However I'm happy to say that Mario Party & Mario Party 2 online work surprisingly well on Nintendo Switch (at least when playing online in the US). No real issues to complain about, it works!

  • GTJames4ATL GTJames (@GTJames4ATL) reported

    @CraigHarris456 Nintendo has supply issues. They will start selling more In a few months. I can't imagine who keeps buying switches, though.

  • maiiihappyplace 🦑 Sploon Era 🐙 (@maiiihappyplace) reported

    Ive had like 5 comm errors streak now. Do u even want me to play nintendo 💢

  • gwcnpool gwen (@gwcnpool) reported

    nintendo fix your customer support challenge failed

  • r1su_k miles (@r1su_k) reported

    im cloud gamings no.1 defender but nintendo making the demos timed is so bizarre like how do you expect people to give feedback on bugs and problems related to the cloud feature when they dont even have enough time to discover problems. OKAY?

  • gatorbol marxist-nemikist (@gatorbol) reported

    @ihearthestia should i disconnect my nintendo switch from twitter too?

  • kessho_144 結晶 - i need sleep (@kessho_144) reported

    @jacksfilms #YIAYbio fix nintendo's bio

  • Ken2pt0 Kenneth Oliver (He/Him) (@Ken2pt0) reported

    @AmazonHelp the item. box was opened taped and switch was stolen on the phone with customer service. they don’t have another one to replace this stolen one. @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon do you guys have one i can buy 🥺

  • TweetsBySalt Salt (@TweetsBySalt) reported

    I'm so happy to be done with #Splatoon at least till the end of the month. There's no reason for me to hop on until the next season. I can finally stop being pissed off for every minute I play games. I'm gonna go back to Pokemon now, I doubt Nintendo will fix Splatoon, so ****'m.

  • PumpkinPielex Alex ✨COMMISSIONS OPEN✨ (@PumpkinPielex) reported

    Day one of the splatfest and nintendo still cant fix its stupid servers

  • Sprocketguys Sprocketguy (@Sprocketguys) reported

    @Ezreal_Gold So Elon decided to give anyone who paid for the subscription service their own checkmark People decided to have fun with it by changing their names and avatars and pretending to be official accounts like Nintendo $20 billion later, no more checkmarks
