  • ICA_Agent_47 Agent47 @ Vampire Survivors GOTY (@ICA_Agent_47) reported

    @rando9292 The problem is now xbox is also using the same language Saying call of duty is too big, and there's no incentive to make it xbox exclusive Signing deals with Nintendo and Steam that aren't binded to the acquisition itself doesn't change that

  • WhybrowEyebrow Whybrow (@WhybrowEyebrow) reported

    There is a real problem with the developers of games right now overwatch is losing its community because they ain’t listening apex is dying because nothing new is being added and it’s been the same **** every season and Nintendo is ******* their best game just sad to see

  • TEGNC T.J Garrison (@TEGNC) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You guys are beyond the bubble at this point, you botched your Pokémon release with a myriad of tech issues, you have totally destroyed your Advance Wars series after spending millions to make the games, you are wandering around in your own smokescreen.

  • OutlanderBT Outlander BT (@OutlanderBT) reported

    I don’t know if anyone cares but @DOOM eternal is broken on switch. In horde mode it crashes at the same part every time for me. I love playing this on switch. Can we get a fix?? @idSoftware @NintendoAmerica

    @DjCgeez2189 @NikoMueller No that's Sonys problem and there **** age verification on Playstation only Sony is doing this in Germany. You don't need it on Nintendo Steam or Xbox.

    @FallGuysGame why is the game on Nintendo switch lag? I missed with wifi and did update and it still lags.

  • Dumpling1973 Xsnipersh1971 (@Dumpling1973) reported

    @FortniteGame @iFireMonkey I found a new problem I’m on my Nintendo switch and I’m playing with a friend that is on PlayStation. They can’t hear me. I think something is wrong with voice channel

    If an AI database is exclusively stolen offical pokemon art owned by Nintendo, idgaf, problem is that these are stealing from indie artists who may not even have the cash to do anything about the copyright being broken, if they have copyright in the first place. A

    @Alex504B0Y @RaymondTracing You can however understand every gaming company, are going SAAS in some form. XBGP for Msoft, PS+P for Sony, and NSO for Nintendo. Eventually they will all have a streaming service, because that actually is the future of all medium, even gaming.

    @NintendoUK I am getting a 2181-4008 error and I have no idea why. I haven't used my Switch in a couple of weeks. Please help!

    @NintendoUK The game is still broken @NintendoUK , can we please talk about what is being done about that before asking me my go to of the broken game is

  • ftn_ale FTN_Ale (@ftn_ale) reported

    @Soni_Boy_ Nintendo knows that most people won't buy the online, but it's also true that PS plus has 45 million subscribers, and the ps4+ps5 have like 140 million sales, which is even less statistically than the switch. When you make a subscription service for a console it's obvious that...

    @AsoGirl29 Nintendo, Crash and cartoons!

  • rando9292 Chad Chiaki enjoyer (Rando) (@rando9292) reported

    @SagamiSword_ In terms of MS becoming a monopoly in the console space...2 issues here, 1 is Nintendos existence. Unless MS buys Nintendo they aren't going anywhere most likely. The 2nd issue is game pass, MS wants that on PS and Switch...that literally screams they wanna become a service

  • Realtamsman Tamsman (@Realtamsman) reported

    @segamstim Here at Sega USA we strive to make customer service number 1 . Secretly people calling in saying Nintendo was better......... Lmao

  • Volvagia224 Kieran (@Volvagia224) reported

    @NintendoUK the one that causes the least frame time spikes and the minimum amount of lag.

  • SlayerNfamous Slayer (@SlayerNfamous) reported

    @iHuGi The CMA will end this deal before that. Its over. Letting Microsoft monopolize the gaming industry with a subscription service does not benefit Europe in any way. Europe makes way more money from PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox the traditional way.

  • itscaogonzales Carlo Gonzales (@itscaogonzales) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    Went to JB Hifi cause one of the buttons of my Nintendo Switch is sticky. They gave me a new one w/o question. Went to Smiggles cause I noticed a scratch on the tumbler I bought yesterday, they made me choose a new one from the shelf. Customer service should be this easy 👍

  • shagginwagon J M (@shagginwagon) reported

    @NoGravity_Games Supersonic cats it's broken. The link to the game no longer works and manually searching it on Nintendo shows that I don't own it. I'm not sure if that's the reason why I can't download today's game because I downloaded all the others.

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 508 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • WillowRainstar .willow. (@WillowRainstar) reported

    I can’t play Violet for longer than an hour without my Switch overheating. This has been happening every single time I’ve tried to play it since I got the game almost a month ago. Is anyone else having that issue, or should I start saving to replace my Switch? @NintendoAmerica

  • Christo77309767 Christopher Drake (@Christo77309767) reported

    @BruceMcF @lxeagle17 @nberlat Maybe some kind of old Nintendo game logic where if you exploit a glitch to make a value drop below zero it rolls over to 255?

  • Leixo_Demo Commissions CLOSED (@Leixo_Demo) reported

    @Arial_S_ its basic knowledge its like: switch has big games, big game runs good, internet connection problems, switch nintendo service not good: all its bc its internet *** service

    @NintendoUK you having problems delivering in time for Christmas?? Got an angry wife who’s being told we need to print out a form, hand sign it and return it in order to investigate!? You don’t have a signature on file and never attempted delivery!!

    @ProChara Not quite sure why so many people are hating on this for Splatoon’s servers. - It’s servers go bad if someone’s lagging - It’s a Nintendo game meant for fun

  • AriFoxy17 ArizonaSnep (@AriFoxy17) reported

    @RealmRoyale I'm Having Multiple Crash Errors On Nintendo Switch. i went 7 games in a row without being able to land because of the crashes Please look into this its Fustrating me.

  • LuisBerber8 Luis Berber (@LuisBerber8) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes No, regulators should get commitments from MS to not raise subscription service, game, and hardware prices outside of a range that they deem good for consumers. That 10-year CoD deal should also be guaranteed with a clause that allows Sony and Nintendo to re-up if they desire.
