  • Memetan_24 Memetan (@Memetan_24) reported

    @BamboozlerMemes Nintendo had an issue with 66.6 but 66.5 to 71.2 was too much for 3

  • PDimpsey Phil Dimpsey (@PDimpsey) reported

    @xboxBG MY god people need to stop making these crap posts and grow up. Its only Jim ryan who still loves call of duty that need to move on. Nintendo and sony are still up there popularity and has broken the most game records and game awards, so phil have a long way for the xbox.

  • ocko_sir Samuel (@ocko_sir) reported

    @ScottFalco @Brawneteer OK so can you tell when i get a comunition error because nintendo online is just you know trash it makes me not loose 20 point from my rank

  • BrownSydner BROWN SYDNER (@BrownSydner) reported

    @KingsIsle I know wizards101 is having issues right now but do you think wizard101 will be on the Nintendo switch and or Google play store? I would love to get back into wizards101.

  • abagofangrybees Bee 🐝 (@abagofangrybees) reported

    I am begging Nintendo to do something about their Splatoon 3 servers. These connection errors are out of control.

  • BraviaryBrendan Brendan (@BraviaryBrendan) reported

    @JoeMerrick Sounds to me this is a communication issue or misunderstanding by whoever was Kit and Kay’s (if I am getting their names right) manager(s) OR this was on Nintendo and not TPCi.

  • sklorpie sklorpie (@sklorpie) reported

    nintendo fix your splatoon 3 servers

  • mechadaveo David Whales (@mechadaveo) reported

    My take on the Nuzlocke controversy: If the term wasn’t associated with or attached to numerous romhacks, something Nintendo historically doesn’t like, I don’t think it would be an issue.

  • WilliamRAguilar William R. Aguilar (@WilliamRAguilar) reported

    @hachobby Nintendo doesn't have to deal with this problem nearly as bad bcuz the technology inside the switch is very cheap as it is almost 2 console generations behind. Inflation has little affect on the profits they make from the switch because of how cheap it is to produce

  • Natures150 NaturalAngel (@Natures150) reported

    I've got both sides here but I'm not going to let either one of you overpower the other one so what's your problem? You want to commit a little crime do you want to do a little crime committing? You want to use a Nintendo switch you can pay for it then.

  • tea_mellon Mello (she/they) #teamgear (@tea_mellon) reported

    Imagine splatoon added a twitch thing that if u connect ur stream to ur nintendo account Lil' buddy can say what ever chat is spamming like in a little text bubble or if u wanna ******* crash ur game ur veiwer count=how many lil buddies there are

  • CrisWood Prof. CrisWoodie~ (@CrisWood) reported

    @SailorBabeles @DisneyDLV Not working. I'm sure. I'm pretty sure. I tried on my other Nintendo Switch.

  • Roxos__ Roxos (@Roxos__) reported

    @FortniteStatus Has the problem with Nintendo been resolved?

  • temporoyales deb @ comm work (@temporoyales) reported

    @Adri_Rin me: its the 3rd game surely they would’ve fixed all these small issues by now nintendo: 🤡🤡🤡🤡

  • laazy_seal Szymon D. (@laazy_seal) reported

    @goat68695471 @InsaneOffiziell @jasonschreier Tell that to the guys who made the fan version of the Pokemon game. Nintendo lawyers forced them to remove it from the planet. Nobody wants to have legal problems.

  • Matharak_XBL Matharak @PSN/XBL (@Matharak_XBL) reported

    @DestinLegarie Nintendo: "That is Sony's issue not my problem."

  • StarWarrior776 Star🌸 (@StarWarrior776) reported

    My biggest worry with splat 3 is that all of my issues are really fixable things but i have zero faith in nintendo to actually fix most of them over the minimum 2 years they'll be supporting it

  • nintyfan1991 ACO (@nintyfan1991) reported

    @LiamToonFan1 @Crimson_Mayhem_ "Nintendo because they keep their exclusives on their consoles" This is a problem... why? I know Sony and Microsoft are doing this now, but last I checked, the exclusives Nintendo keep on their platform are THEIR games, not third parties that end up porting to other platforms.

  • danielboi04 danielboi04 (@danielboi04) reported

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch players are having having issue as well please fix the issue @FortniteStatus

  • Shiver_Star Star (@Shiver_Star) reported

  • CrisWood Prof. CrisWoodie~ (@CrisWood) reported

    @SailorBabeles @DisneyDLV Not working on Nintendo Switch.

  • REDACTED_1187 Ethan M. REDACTED (@REDACTED_1187) reported

    @ruby555yt @FortniteStatus You on PC, or Nintendo? Those both have the same problem.

  • lakekdoesathing Lakek (@lakekdoesathing) reported

  • Mat87Vic Matteo 🪤 마테오 (@Mat87Vic) reported

    @FortniteGame 250 crashes on Nintendo Switch. Not bad for a game which basically is in trouble every single first day of release.

  • danielboi04 danielboi04 (@danielboi04) reported

    @FortniteStatus Nintendo switch players are having the same issues to freezing and crashing @FortniteStatus

    Loving the Splatoon servers today. 3 "communication errors" when my siblings, in the same room with the same network environment, haven't had any. Fix your game Nintendo, I just wanna play.
