  • _shelbbb_ shelb☀️ (@_shelbbb_) reported

    @jessiedorie_20 at one point, we all got in trouble for this and weren’t allowed to take our Nintendo’s on the buses anymore... these were our worst problems back in the day 🙃

  • TwistedIrishman Patch 🔞 (@TwistedIrishman) reported

    @alistair1o1 @ArchonOf The smash community really has a lot of problems to take care of. And they wonder why nintendo doesn't care for them?

  • TheOshawott64 TheOshawott64 (@TheOshawott64) reported

    @zerd1308 doesn’t help nintendo and their “piracy” problem with old games

  • Edlinklover ❌Eddie @ Check out my Vocaloid RPG (In Pinned)❌ (@Edlinklover) reported

    @visceradi I know it still kinda sucks but you can get nintendo to fix your controller drift for free through their site (I did it myself a few months back)

  • DarwinsRaccoon Rob (@DarwinsRaccoon) reported

    The fact that I had X in everything a couple months ago but have a hard time maintaining X now might serve as evidence of a rise in lagging cheaters. #splatoon #splatoon2 @NintendoAmerica

  • cinemattograph Punished Matt (@cinemattograph) reported

    @Eisenfaust_ @Pokemon @PostMalone I know what an emulator is everyone, Jesus Christ. How does that solve the problem of Nintendo holding their back catalog tighter than cables on a suspension bridge? It doesn't!!

  • Irid0n Iri? (@Irid0n) reported

    @MatteRabbit I'd set up 2FA right now if you haven't. This same thing happened to Tal a week back, apparently nintendo's been having some security issues

  • TheHermanastro German (@TheHermanastro) reported

    Haven’t had power or cell service since 5 am this morning. Ya boy going through it but god bless the Nintendo Switch and 3D World

  • 3Kixvee Zen (@3Kixvee) reported

    Bro I was in a power outage for 2 hours. everything was black my phone phone was at 8% but my Nintendo switch was at 78%,but I didn't use it that much. I was about to go to sleep, but it the power came on. That's all the for the story bc it just all waiting.

  • ayarane Yoshi Ayarane (@ayarane) reported

    I know both Nintendo and the Secret Service would never allow it but can you imagine Fireside Mario Kart streams ...I kinda want to draw this

  • pieispie2 PiE (@pieispie2) reported

    @DeszczuGG @RoseFromTheAshs I have been informed that NES Tetris is not even available the subscription based Nintendo Switch NES emulation service, so I am paying 20 USD every year and I don't even get the privilege of playing NES Tetris.

  • Invaderofglory Brian (@Invaderofglory) reported

    @iwakeupDP Fair enough even though I did buy the game on the Nintendo switch but oh boy I'm going to find how broken these characters will be

  • DarwinsRaccoon Rob (@DarwinsRaccoon) reported

    The fact that I had X in everything a couple months ago but have a hard time maintaining X now might serve as evidence of a rise in lag cheaters. #splatoon #splatoon2 @NintendoAmerica

  • HeySquizzy ☆.。.:* Squizzy .。.:*☆ (@HeySquizzy) reported

    It’s so frustrating missing so many streams when I finally have the motivation to be back and now I can’t even stream Nintendo games, but I will try to make the most of it and start stardew on Wednesday:) trying to not let tech issues get me down

  • tjohansen98 Trey (@tjohansen98) reported

    @not__kirby my dad won't even respond to my message because he won't check his phone he got no problem putting 40 hours in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for the Nintendo Switch though holy ****

  • APR_NMFN Aaron Roush (@APR_NMFN) reported

    @FortniteGame is there a known issue with the Nintendo Switch and the microphone. Our Turtle Beach recon 70’s quit working after the recent update. No issue with the headset just with fortnite and all settings have been checked.

  • ElixirPog Daniel (@ElixirPog) reported

    @IGN Can confirm i whooped him in mk8 even he thinks NSO is *** and is signing an executive order for Nintendo to fix their ****

  • Jkiddps4 trending profile of Nintendo ps4 trophy hunter (@Jkiddps4) reported

    For 1 thing these hacks have gotten to be around Nintendo accounts every month and they have not fixed this issue

  • DausenMoore Dausen Moore (@DausenMoore) reported

    @Boogie2988 I agree although Nintendo has their own problems. Nintendo puts no effort into graphics or gameplay innovation and milks their franchises as much as humanly possible.

  • NurseEita Michael Salazar (@NurseEita) reported

    broke: using a flashlight during a power outage. woke: using your nintendo DS on max brightness during a power outage.

  • TinyKingKay1 Tiny King Kay (@TinyKingKay1) reported

    @OldSuperContext (2)content, but SML has never claimed to be Nintendo or affiliated with them sooo what's the issue? That these characters are being used for risqué jokes? Then I think A LOT of channels are now in danger, and any that want to start a channel with Nintendo IPs are now discouraged.

  • GopluXPoplu goplu (@GopluXPoplu) reported

    @64BITch doesnt work anymore fix your **** nintendo

  • BlueDudeLance Lonce' (@BlueDudeLance) reported

    @KKtrinaSaidSo Why does the ps5, a much newer console, cause the same drifting problems the 2017 Nintendo switch caused?

  • JBeff30 JeffTheBeff30 (@JBeff30) reported

    Joy con drift is an issue and you can’t change my mind. The proof is in the tone of videos from many people and hundreds of thousands of reports on it. And Nintendo makes it worse by being in denial about it while they settle lawsuits. They need to fix this!

  • JC_MikeB JC_MikeB (@JC_MikeB) reported

    Now trust me. Nintendo has some ridiculously ****** business practices that might in fact be some of the cause of these issues people have with them.

  • Koriosamii Koriosamii - Steve Main (@Koriosamii) reported

    @insomniacSXUL "Bro just settle for Nintendo's ****** 20 dollar internet service, they're a poor company that needs all the money we can give them"

  • ziggy_buckets Ziggy Buckets (@ziggy_buckets) reported

    My Nintendo switch is going to get me through this power outage....for like 2 hours until the battery dies.

  • PhluffiTwitch Phluffi, cisphobic (@PhluffiTwitch) reported

    @OnuaDark so many of the problems with more recent nintendo games can be chalked up to laziness. It's honestly so discouraging to see

  • BeastofOrem Inconvienient Truth (@BeastofOrem) reported

    @TRHLofficial As someone who has the original Nintendo still, blowing works somewhat, but the real issue is the build-up of grime and tarnish on the copper pins. what ultimately works long term is properly cleaning the pins. Isopropyl Alcohol with a q tip works a lot better.

  • StoveMarvy Marbgin 🖤 (@StoveMarvy) reported

    @TaamoTOT Imma keep it 100 wit you cheif I don't trust Nintendo to ""fix"" the issues with Ultimate seeing as the internet got WORSE from Sm4sh to Ult
