  • bigsolarflare_ dyL isnt doing anythjng of note (@bigsolarflare_) reported

    @SplatoonNA That seals the deal. I’m no longer a Splatoon player. Been a loyal supporter since 2014 and this is the final straw. Nintendo has turned this game into a disaster. Uninstalling tonight & taking my skills to Fortnite where they know how to run a live service shooter. Goodbye 👋

    @anime_bunnie I can't speak of Nintendo as I don't play any of their games, however CDPR does SEEM to have learned it's lesson. Took them 2 years to mostly repair their rep. However the issue then is the rabid fans who send death threats when a delay is mentioned. Gamers need to do better too.

  • HECKSALMONIDS doesnt matter ojamajos, FORT NITE is better than b (@HECKSALMONIDS) reported

    sorry nintendo but no amount of big run or good sr buffs will fix the fact that you put marooner's bay back in the game

  • DopeIsJay DopeIsJay (@DopeIsJay) reported

    @Tassydevil2000 @PersonaSpeaks I agree with you in the sense that others game do more in regards to overall design and still perform better on the Switch. My issue is Nintendo not holding GameFreak to a higher standard and demanding a game that doesn’t have the issues it’s had for years.

    @HenselRay I have obtained the means to modify my Nintendo Switch. I will be using this device (a "jig") to apply a "softmod" (modification without physically changing the hardware) to the Nintendo Switch. This will likely result in my Nintendo Switch Online service being banned.

  • kittenisacat kit (@kittenisacat) reported

    lmfaoooooooo the angle shooter mark applier buff...nintendo is like :)) did we do it? did we do a good job?? no....no the damage and paint output is the issue. not the speed and range

  • voidfelI JD (@voidfelI) reported

    @kyuudenrobo you can look at another Nintendo property: Zelda It didn't have any real VA work until their LAST 2 GAMES and it was never an actual issue before then because it didn't feel like it should be there, it was very clearly built around Not being voiced 99.9% of the time

  • stevenb21 Steven ☭ (@stevenb21) reported

    I gave in and bought the new Pokemon game yesterday even with all the problems. But the Nintendo switch ***** me another way, the x button on the joy con stopped working today. I'm sick of buying $70 plus controllers every few months. Since 2008 I'm on my 7th pair of controllers

  • Truffle_Bugs Bugs ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ (@Truffle_Bugs) reported

    @StokedTheorem I see so many people with glitches but I have a physical copy and I have only really seen lag with is something all Nintendo online has

  • Ragtoppy_temper Sam Sanei (Blue) (@Ragtoppy_temper) reported

    @LunarLem0n call nintendo or chat the error

  • Jelstrime Jelstrime - Pokemon Arc (@Jelstrime) reported

    @NintendoAUNZ @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon please fix this I'm not kidding I've literally been locked out of my forth option for bidding

  • Cptn_Alex CptnAlex (@Cptn_Alex) reported

    I honestly feel like Nintendo is gaslighting us by just refusing to acknowledge Pokémon’s performance issues. I don’t complain about graphics. I don’t care about graphics. But this game is broken, and it’s absolutely mind boggling Nintendo and Pokémon have not addressed it yet.

  • HighImAma High I'm Ama! (@HighImAma) reported

    @saulsalinas11 Hope nintendo patches these issues soon tbh.

  • Migada767 Raul (@Migada767) reported

    @ViciousFGC I think it might have been an issue with the panthera firmware, my Nintendo pro controller couldn't replicate this at the same time as the Pantera when it was happening

    @NintendoAmerica Fix Witcher 3 steam cloud data please

  • yorurin 舌打ち女 (@yorurin) reported

    Of the bug. But this is assuming they don’t break it with the fix lmao. I s2g nintendo doesn’t know how to code.

  • AvreltheTeller Avrel (@AvreltheTeller) reported

    @Roundybout Can’t believe Nintendo looked at all their data and decided “yes, liter’s wave breaker is the problem here”

  • Sabrina28975 💙Sabrina💙 (@Sabrina28975) reported

    @cycequeen My problem with Santa is that he gives I-phones and Nintendo Switches. However economically challenges kids only get what charities give them. Santa comes but they are never good enough to get a Nintendo Switch. That effects them.
