  • Bactover Mango (@Bactover) reported

    Like ppl hate moray cause its TOO tall not cause Tall was an issue overall, not all maps need to be this flat and small nintendo pls give us some variety it was bad enough they killed Mahi Mahi

  • MtyEmerald_TME TheMightyEmerald (@MtyEmerald_TME) reported

    @YorsTrooli_Aori It sure would be nice to see them again. Pearl and Marina are basically confirmed. If they could keep the OG Agent 3, and even make them Captain, then SURELY Nintendo could do more with 4 and 8... Plus, it would make great fan service... 👀

  • Kimi_NinjaVivi NinjaVivi (@Kimi_NinjaVivi) reported

    @PotionPermit been having an issue on Nintendo switch that everything I cook doesn’t ever show up in my inventory. I’m able to buy food and have it show up but when I cook it’s just gone. It’s been happening since the last update.

  • JillthePillNet Jill the Pill (@JillthePillNet) reported

    @TwoPointStudios Working on 3-stars slowly, but Nintendo Switch issues still causes random crashes at inconvenient times. (Crash reporting is on, so I hope it helps somehow, haha.)

  • fried_potatoboi professional potato boi (@fried_potatoboi) reported

    @KRcanondorf Why not both? Oh I see, Luaisy isn't your cup of tea bc Nintendo didn't do anything about it 😓 But at least that ship isn't a problematic ones btw (Daisalina and Waluaisy also good 👌👌), only the problem is Nintendo didn't care about Luaisy 💀💀

  • Andromeda_Dream avery 🌧 (@Andromeda_Dream) reported

    @CountBleck92 yeah tbh i dont like the idea of them rewarding nintendo for a game that's not even fully finished yet :// not to mention all of the errors we're still having to this day

  • VictoriamRecord 🦇🅱️rown 🅱️at🦇 (@VictoriamRecord) reported

    @CaptnPickle @BenBlazing99 @NintendoAmerica This is the exact issue with Fallout 4 to Fallout 76

  • M_NBeyer Math (@M_NBeyer) reported

    @JoanLeinhart @TigerCA123 Nintendo switch service is extremely expensive and almost doesn't have nothing good PS plus had the bad idea of ​​separating the service into categories (Essential, extra and premium), And each one being extremely expensive compared to the game pass.

  • BamForBINO Bam_BINO__ (@BamForBINO) reported

    @ShitpostGate Which is why i’ll switch to perpetual for substance painter/designer come next year… also Nintendo online is just 20-30 bucks a year i don’t see the problem there

  • Pppppnevec fegi fortesque (@Pppppnevec) reported

    @lepplo @NintendoAmerica I’m choosing how and what I spent, if you have a problem with that then I don’t know what to say

  • darryllynrenee Darryllyn (@darryllynrenee) reported

    Baby had a melt down while I’m trying to set up her Nintendo switch. No problem sis just play with the buttons. Guess you won’t be watching anything since you don’t want me to sign up. #lifewithatoddler

  • CaptnPickle CaptnPickle 🍕🎮 (@CaptnPickle) reported

    @BenBlazing99 @VictoriamRecord @NintendoAmerica It suffers from lots of technical graphical issues on original hardware with the day-1 patch. Souece: My copy came in early. Legends Arceus didn't run this bad & I think this game uses the same engine or a modified version of it so what the hell?

  • ShaunV2 Shaun (@ShaunV2) reported

    @twistaspin @NintendoAmerica I never had any performance issues when I played Pokemon Shield so I doubt I'll have any with Pokemon Scarlet.

  • brxndybrxndy brandy (@brxndybrxndy) reported

    @NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 65 (66 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. The fact that I have had this game since release and still can’t even play one match. And no word on a fix or a refund. Wild.

  • mirrorlaunch MirrorLaunch (@mirrorlaunch) reported

    @Real_Pareidolia Play like Paldadins or Overwatch if you want a competitive team shooter with better netcode, Nintendo has had months to fix this and hasn't so it's unlikely to ever get fixed.

  • Felixma14199092 Felixman 🐀 (@Felixma14199092) reported

    @sonikuenjoyer Just because they sell to Nintendo doesn't mean Sonic becomes Mario. That being said, my problem with that is Nintendo and their strict *** IP protection.

  • VisiblyHappy VisiblyHappy (@VisiblyHappy) reported

    I've gotten 5 connection errors while trying to queue into a turf match wtf Nintendo pls

  • toximal toxima (@toximal) reported

    Splatoon content creators please stop fellating Nintendo for a week and speak out about the connection issues please for the love of god

  • aetheriser 寒い、 (@aetheriser) reported

    @bikegoth yeah if somewhere asks for my login i'm not saying yes (nintendo is the exception so they can post on my acc)

  • Myztyrio 💫Skye🌙 (@Myztyrio) reported

    @pteravictoria I never ever rage in a way that's destructive. However, most controllers aren't made to last and will eventually wear out. I've had lots of buttons just stop functioning, not to mention the issue of Nintendo's "Pro" controllers ALWAYS getting drift on the left stick.

  • CaptnPickle CaptnPickle 🍕🎮 (@CaptnPickle) reported

    @VictoriamRecord @BenBlazing99 I'd love to hope that these issues could be ironed out, but I honestly think this is a hardware issue. The Nintendo Switch is using hardware that was current back in 2015. Hopefully we'll see the next Switch in a couple of years. I'm surprised Hogwarts Legacy isn't cloud ver.

  • Lor_StarCutter_ Musk falsely accused a diver of **********💥 (@Lor_StarCutter_) reported

    @RyanRibbity @sonicforces I think the problem that cartoony mascot characters just need more respect to their names in these mainstream gaming places. Nintendo has been relegated to being shoved into the mickey mouse baby game awards corner since like the G4 days.

  • J_V_Smooth J.V.Smooth (@J_V_Smooth) reported

    @Kaizokuman @scorchedprince Yea that’s the excuse we all said but other companies and games have come out with just as much in the span of time since CoviD more so than Nintendo. We haven’t gotten a big First party game Like Odyssey or BOTW since the switches release. That’s a problem.

  • signmyautograph tyler durden (@signmyautograph) reported

    was so obsessed with animal crossing i was grinding on discord all day and night trading i was so rich them i forgot my login to my nintendo account

  • SplaRinn James (@SplaRinn) reported

    Just today I got around 20ish communication errors in splatoon 3... why Nintendo

  • Countrywideping yoyo | vtubing mediocrity (Fmr ehh) (@Countrywideping) reported

    @NintendoAmericr Proof that piracy presents no problem for Nintendo

  • Sooubic Sooubic (@Sooubic) reported

    @pejic839 @ShitpostGate 1. It sucks because Nintendo’s is 15 years behind in online service capabilities and don’t even have play invites or voice chat. 2. It costs $20-$50 per year and is another “small subscription” amongst many others.

  • Quickstein1 Quickstein (@Quickstein1) reported

    @SplatoonNA please fix your servers nintendo

  • DaNyanKat kitkat 🍫 (@DaNyanKat) reported

    making X so easy to reach is a horrible idea, especially now that u cant derank 💔 ive still got hope tho, maybe nintendo will fix things somehow

  • Hexane_Harpy ㅣHarpy⁷ㅣ (@Hexane_Harpy) reported

    Oh my ******* god, does anyone know of any usb-c cables that don’t break after a ******* month? I’ve had my Apple charger for 3 years no problem but can’t get a single usb-c that doesn’t just?? Die? Out of nowhere? Not even my nintendo brand chargers
