    Is nintendo servers down, ive had two games in a row where someone is disconnecting and stopping the game

  • zapbutt Rasun | Space turkey merc (@zapbutt) reported

    @MirabilisZ @HormnyCheese You may want to relay this stuff to the creator of the bot to make sure they don't get in trouble then. Copyright laws are no joke, and getting careless almost got even Nintendo in deep trouble a few times with it.

  • Flounder_Liresh Flounder Liresh 🧡⚡️ (@Flounder_Liresh) reported

    @Zillaborg Yeah... it's all looking like a train wreck, meets horrifying car wreck, meets a plane crash... and I agree with you on the Pokémon side of things... Nintendo will be the coping mechanism for us all

  • GhibliFan93 Joey Ford (@GhibliFan93) reported

    @mando_miles @NintendoAmerica But you'll only be renting the game if it's on NSO + Expansion Pack until Nintendo decides to shut down the service. So yeah, no, just no.

    @Megaman_facts Funnily enough I was just reading this today via Archive Nintendo Power issues online.

  • starrwines ⭐️ (@starrwines) reported

    still domt understand why nintendo patched out the 4th tier glitch and why we cant access them to begin with. “too dangerous” its a video game

  • Hypest_Nikku Bussy Cummers #1 Victory Royal With Cheese (@Hypest_Nikku) reported

    @TThunderowl Devs are abandoning optimizing for the series s. That was confirmed by multiple AAA devs. Nintendo switch 2 is having issues getting anywhere because nintendo is having a hard time thinking of a new gimmick. Which is stupid because we just want a better switch that can hold up

  • axxx_kay KX🏳‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♠️ (@axxx_kay) reported

    @JListPeter If middle finger Mario Nintendo gets a grey mark ... You guys should have no problems at all.

  • jeffery02242537 Liu le skeleton (@jeffery02242537) reported

    @NintendoCanada not so long ago I decided to buy borderlands on switch and it doesn't work like at all Game of the year edition isn't working Is there anyway to fix this without buying another version of the game?

  • Arty_Nah Artyyyyy 🌺 (Somewhat funny arc) (@Arty_Nah) reported

    @amatsukamiho Nintendo hacked ur pc, they found out you’re not playing on an actual GameCube 💀 fr tho I hope it’s not a huge issue with ur pc that’s be so ****** up like omg 😭

  • PhDedede Pokerninja2 (@PhDedede) reported

    see the problem with nintendo direct leaks these days is that they're all the same 10 or so things that have been regurgitated through the rumor mill to make them seem "believable" ****'s not interesting discussion if we don't have something wild like, Yoshi's Pachinko Course

  • aprxcotprxncess jingle jordan 🦭 (@aprxcotprxncess) reported

    oh I talked to Nintendo customer service and they refunded it so I could buy the physical version :’)

  • MunchBuddi Munch 🧼 vtube :^3 (@MunchBuddi) reported

    trying to play Splatoon 3 and have spent the last 45 minutes not getting into a SINGLE match that hasn't ended in communication error. it's always bad, but it feels worse than usual right now. Just constant communication errors. I really wish Nintendo knew how to do online.

  • steelguttey guttey (@steelguttey) reported

    @keninblackpat as long as its easy to get like it is now i dont think its a problem, people getting so upset about this gives big "guy who gets upset when you torrent nintendo games" energy

  • ThelxiSenpai Thelxi (@ThelxiSenpai) reported

    @Lostikins I’ve heard you can reach out to Nintendo customer service and you can do a one time transfer. Might want to try that before giving up. If you or the other person didn’t factory reset the old switch you can use the island transfer tool to transfer from one switch to the next.

  • collectjurassic Collect Jurassic (@collectjurassic) reported

    Help @Coatsink! My game keeps freezing at a checkpoint in #JurassicWorldAftermath on Nintendo Switch. I’m loving this game and I must finish it! Any fix?

  • Harrison101HD Dre Harrison (@Harrison101HD) reported

    Get home from a double shift, fix the house Internet and TV's... feel satisfied... the battery in my Nintendo Switch is dead. And Pokemon Violet's out on Friday. I am being tested.

  • TThunderowl Orange is the new Blunt (@TThunderowl) reported

    Predictions for 2025: Sony will abandon their live service and allow gamepass on Playstation. Xbox will beat PS5 to a pro-model, no one will want it, and PS5 wont do one. Nintendo will announce and/or release a Switch 2, launching with new character packs for Ultimate.

  • Dasmesee1 FF14 ADDICT (@Dasmesee1) reported

    @AmericanGadfly2 @Donovan70068073 Why would I want to be forced onto a subscription service when I could buy it on my own terms just like I always had it? The majority global vote of public opinion prefers traditional that's why Sony and Nintendo are dominating the industry and Microsoft's last place

  • Fagatronuchiha where tf is Final Fantasy XVI? (@Fagatronuchiha) reported

    @Locke_PSB @NintendoAmerica Didn’t have any issues on mine? Emulation I assume

  • desmoki ciel (@desmoki) reported

    @OctoboyYT @c0de_3 He means that explicitly mentioning that mods or exploits were used for these projects might not have been a great idea, since Nintendo targets users of them. Also, English is incredibly stupid...frankly I wouldn't say that to anyone who appears to have trouble speaking it.

  • Pinkham_Artemis Julia Pinkham (@Pinkham_Artemis) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fire terra type Sylveon with Pixilate could be broken

  • maidhuffer Shino6u (@maidhuffer) reported

    @drewskeky its great, also I couldnt get any games going today and i was upset i was getting error codes every single game nintendo network dying

  • Steven_Harris92 Steven Loren Taylor Harris (@Steven_Harris92) reported

    Hey @NintendoAmerica I am having a issue with a game I bought Thursday it's crashing on me and won't let me do anything. I need help.

  • shttrddrms R. (@shttrddrms) reported

    another day not having a Nintendo Switch Another day not working in a game studio Really, I love the people i work with but I hate so much that the IT efforts are not recognized by people

  • PopArchival DegenKen (@PopArchival) reported

    @LegendaryLeads @NintendoAmerica @LadyWarBoss Nothing a heat gun can’t fix, but I prefer it. To me, it’s like a date stamp on an old comic. It’s just a reminder that these things weren’t made to become collectibles.

  • joefrancisco5 jwolfmaster90 (@joefrancisco5) reported

    @aviftw @MilesDompier Nintendo like many other game developers had no issue with the deal happening just Sony did it shows Sonys bias against it too

  • naps_spl naps (@naps_spl) reported

  • GabrielAnimate Gabe? (@GabrielAnimate) reported
