  • notsofreshprinc NotSoFreshPrince (@notsofreshprinc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Anyone know how to fix my online? I'm always getting disconnected and start freezing constantly to a point where the game is unplayable. If anyone can help that would be much appreciated!

  • Roto13 RoTo's Bizarre Adventure (@Roto13) reported

    Someone should do Chrontendo except with video game magazines. Gather every issue of GameFan, Game Players, EGM, Nintendo Power, Game Pro, etc. and go through them month by month.

  • RBlueberg Red Blueberg (@RBlueberg) reported

    @Lockstin BUT, I understand there may be issues on more than 1 side, not just GF, but Nintendo and the anime around that, so it's most likely a case of, easier said than done.

  • moldyclay h9 ʎɐlɔʎploɯ ♏ (@moldyclay) reported

    @itsTomokocchi Because yes, I will ***** about other companies doing this and continue to be part of the problem when Nintendo does it, but I know what I am doing and I still speak with my wallet where it matters to me with them as well.

  • Platitudinous_X Platitudinous (@Platitudinous_X) reported

    @nazzurii @KinobladeTorna this is one way, in which the service is so bad that they'll regret asking nintendo for an online mode in something. the other option is that it'll actually be functional, and people like me will look silly for thinking it won't

  • usrbinpikachu All four of my moves are nap (@usrbinpikachu) reported

    @BombosMedallion @Gwunhar This is an endemic problem at both Nintendo and Pokemon that I could yell about for a good hour or so. It's even dumber than it looks from the outside

  • CloudPupper Cloud is smol (@CloudPupper) reported

    So fun fact, I've never played a PlayStation game before. I'm planning to change that by playing a Crash Bandicoot game... on the Nintendo Switch. Hmmm, something seems wrong here, and I don't know what.

  • YorunoYamiyo Nagato (@YorunoYamiyo) reported

    Then again this also goes to the problem of the Switch and the fact we cannot customize the Home Screen at all... That is definitely an advantage the Nintendo 3DS had over the Switch.

  • KlemencyDrake Klemency Drake 🐲 (@KlemencyDrake) reported

    @harpyslugs cross* While nintendo/gf should fix gen 8, I should fix my ice skating fingers and lack of attention LOL

  • FutureNovas Bear (in large form) (@FutureNovas) reported

    It has been patently proven that certain pokemon being barred from SwSh is neither an issue of disc space nor workload. So if there are pokemon that can't be moved to the remake even via Home I'm never forgiving nintendo

  • homad_johnson J Homad Johnson PhD (@homad_johnson) reported

    @HarrietLowther I suspect some of this is Christmas burnout, and, sorry, but Nintendo trouble too.

  • angryumbreon umbreon ❥ catching up w journeys (@angryumbreon) reported

    dude stop liking this tweet i'm not dragging nintendo or whatever issues you have with them i just can't afford a switch but wanna play swsh anyway😭

  • jessthegtsfan1 @jessthegiantess # 1 Fan. (@jessthegtsfan1) reported

    @Goddessbunny61 Well be if it’s under warranty Nintendo we’ll fix it if not. You have to replace it or have someone that can open it up and replace it.

  • mystic_joel Team Mystic Joel (@mystic_joel) reported

    @Nintendeal Update: GAME has no idea when they're getting copies as they've not been informed by Nintendo of Europe. So I was right about NOE being the ******* problem (as usual)

  • FuxionJustin Justin Fuxion (@FuxionJustin) reported

    In other news, went to play the rereleased #ScottPilgrimvstheWorldTheGame and it either crashed or froze several times when playing online. I think the online needs to be more stable or it's Nintendo that may be at fault here for their online service.

  • Y0umu_I_think Y0umu or something (@Y0umu_I_think) reported

    @PuyoOfficial @thesketchsector Everything is cool and all, but please, could you fix the lag in the Nintendo switch version? It's bugging me a bit whenever I play with both puyo and tetris (and this when I'm playing offline). Other than that, I really like this update!

  • RomeoKidTv Antonio Rojas (@RomeoKidTv) reported

    @ejfanatic The problem now is that Nintendo is not following them or vice versa

  • AngrySquidberg Pillow Pants (@AngrySquidberg) reported

    If you didn’t secure your wiimote wrist strap firmly on your wrist as per Nintendo’s health and safety guidelines, you’re probably the type of person who is in between jobs indefinitely and listens to pop punk while blaming all your problems on everyone else.

  • ZyroXZ2 ZyroXZ2 (@ZyroXZ2) reported

    @TigersfanOU I think it's more a demographic issue: core Nintendo games ARE often aimed at kids. Kids aren't buying the games, the parents are. The parents just want to make their kids happy, so $30 and $60 are often the same thing to them.

  • RMaker13 Rainy Is Rainy (@RMaker13) reported

    @Terraria_Logic @NintendoAmerica Cool! Now can you please fix the bugged platforms?

  • FarwinPhoenix Some guy (@FarwinPhoenix) reported

    @BrianNiemeier "But the 15 or so good games" Meanwhile, on the PS1: -Castlevania games -Megaman games -Final Fantasy -Metal Gear -Crash Bandicoot -Spyro -Resident Evil -Tomb Raider -Legacy of Kain -Pepsiman -etc Like, I grew up as a Nintendo kid with the 64, but come on man.

    @Rennygamergirl @Zamon2001 True Nintendo does allot of good things, but turn around and Fix the good things, and then it becomes bad.

  • meyerpark Danny Tran (@meyerpark) reported

    @UNDRSCORE87FGC That game is stacked with wifi users all the time and most nintendo games if its on wifi, its pixelated lag on the match and even 10 minutes its still on that same match

  • Nuno6040 Nuno Ferreira (@Nuno6040) reported

    @CrazyCrezno @MonkeyDLenny @NinEverything That's weird, I ordered other things from My Nintendo before and didn't get this problem. Only started doing this when the Splatoon x Mario collab merch dropped

  • SGRobotz Short Robot 🤖 (@SGRobotz) reported

    @shofu What's that point if they're not actually platinum remakes. Diamond & Pearl had issues and the dex sucked. Nintendo too literal at times when it comes to remakes l
