    If I want ppl to join I'll make a room that's the only sign if I want ppl to join. Nintendo plz fix this by adding a setting to turn off Drop ins. I had to put myself offline, I feel bad leaving for who ever wanted to play with me. #Splatoon3 #NintendoSwitch

    @_Lankay @Mia_Marimba @KyochaNDxD actually i do!! take league of legends for example, i constantly complain about Master Yi despite him being irrelevant in comp play! i largely see this problem as Nintendo's inability to develop specials that are well-rounded.

    @KC7548 @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonJP My main issue is I cannot tell whose suction bombs are on the field, so many dumb deaths simply because I can’t tell a colour.

    @rando9292 @HocineAdel5 @nlastname1 For the type of games Nintendo make the switch it's fine imo The problem is when running modern games But for me a switch will be for their exclusive catalog

    Nintendo fix your Splatoon 3 servers challenge. I don’t recall Splatoon 2 having THIS many connection issues 😒

    Nintendo it’s been 2 months why is the game still hard crashing when you get a network error in the Grizzco lobby

    @AlanCespedes16 @SuperMarioOOC81 I don’t know but it makes no sense to me that other Mario plush channels use mario Nintendo plushies and they are fine but Nintendo only has a problem with sml using the plushies Nintendo makes no sense.

    @Nintendork9 @conormcl2022 Technically she was right for a short time, right? Wasn't the crash in '82 or '83? Then something called Nintendo changed gears, if I remember correctly and the past 39 years have been crazy

    Having tonnes of trouble with @NintendoUK support. I had to format my switch to get a game to work. Thought I was safe having Nintendo Online and #ACNH Island backup enabled but they are flat out refusing to help me restore it. Incredibly poor service!

    @NintendoAmerica please fix #SuperKirbyClash the network is so unstable I keep wasting my Vigor. maybe make it so you don't spend vigor until you reach the reward/fail screen. also make online quest locked until you finish them offline. too many low levels begin carried.

    @CrispyFrise Must have been those anti Nintendo ads made in the 90's, Crash obviously angered the industry. You don't insult the Italian super plumber.

    @RageGoldenEagle Nintendo is the only example Ive seen with a solution to this problem. Give the parents an app so they'd have the tools to protect their children themselves, and then open up the platform to content they wouldn't have allowed before. Win/Win, and the activists can't complain.

    @Scattersilk also X legacy collection 1 has awful input lag on the super nintendo games which imo renders them unplayable

  • DaniVictHodd

    @ogre_cave @klobrille Why does it matter that it's 15% of ActiBlizz's revenue? That's still a tiny drop in Sony's total revenue. Sony will be fine without COD like Nintendo is. Especially because how many live service experiences Sony is now creating and buying studios like Bungie to help with that.

  • lloyd_fungus
    LLOYD FUNGUS 🍄 (@lloyd_fungus) reported

    @vilijur i just see the service as an optional way to consume different kinds of nintendo media i would be buying anyway, and the price isnt unreasonable for whats offered.

  • _Lankay

    @aetheriser @Mia_Marimba @KyochaNDxD sure, but a casual player complaining about something is a little different then full discourse and hate like we get here, unless i’m miss-reading something but ya the main issue is nintendo being unable to create well-rounded specials

    @MF_Abysmal The new charger has a new mechanic, and we’ll have to see how wide roller works, and if Nintendo stops making barebones open maps and goes back to making maps like they did in 2 . 1 had the problem of overly busted kits, busted specials and the weapons were even more unbalanced

  • rr_chargin

    Why is Nintendo’s online service that I pay for so ****, that even though I’m connected to my wifi I still cannot play a full game of Splatoon without being kicked out. I made sure my connection was stable and made sure my switch was connected and it still kicked me out.

    @freewayflippers It’s never the 3 ounce Nintendo DS game that causes shipping problems. It’s the 50+ pound, 24-inch-in-all-dimensions item items that take 45 minutes to pack and half a team of packing paper.

    Usagi Tsukino (@Axeman2K15) reported

    @TheLordBroseph @ShitpostGate and also those NSO Games have Huge amounts of LAG almost unplayable especially during multiplayer matches i would never support such a terrible service, Nintendo online expansion is a joke, i will stick to Series X & PS4 until they make a PS5 Slim, current PS5 is too damn big!!!!

    Christine (@ZephrineArt) reported

    @NintendoAmerica It's super frustrating to win a game and then randomly disconnect while the game is showing the scores of both teams, then it counts as a loss. This has happened far too often than I'd like to count. Please realize this is a problem for players. #Splatoon3

  • YoshiPower992
    Father Yoshi ΔΔΔ (@YoshiPower992) reported

    @LognobuSSB It's hard to adapt on wifi, I genuinely only use wifi to play with friends who I can't play with in person (maybe part of why I'm not too great lol) so it's understandable. While the lag could be your fault, Nintendo made the service bad anyways, so its cool to complain lmao

    nintendo switch share not working. i am probably safe in assuming He deleted some twitter thing, breaking the twitter switch share function. 87% chance of being correct.

    @CaitTeaPlays yeah i saw the cookstar game on google but i heard a lot of people didn’t think it was that good and i don’t think it’s in the nintendo eshop cause of legal issues 🤨 so i didn’t know if i should get it!

    @GavinBeard17 @thiSrev @IGN The fact that I like more Xbox doesn't turn me a liar about having a PS5. Also I have a PC and a Nintendo. So I play all of the consoles but I like more Xbox because the service it's better for me. I'm telling you that I think GOW is way worse than the previous ones. Sorry!

    As of today, I am absolutely devastated to announce the death of my first Animal Crossing New Horizons island, Asteria, that I started on March 20, 2020. My switch randomly would not turn on one day, and Nintendo could not fix it.
