  • meaniekin JT (@meaniekin) reported

    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/ref

  • MechaShiva76 MechaShiva76 (@MechaShiva76) reported

    just lost 2 wave 1's in a row due to massive desync. fix your ******* online nintendo

  • Weasul14 Behemot Yltar (@Weasul14) reported

    ******** is with modern WiFi routers our first router ever was a low-end Netgear the size of a Nintendo DS. that thing lasted <9 YEARS> before developing issues Nighthawk R6700P? less than 2 years ASUS AC1900? less than ONE year I've never had a SINGLE asus product fail on me

  • MSice31 Matt S (@MSice31) reported

    @I_AM_WILDCAT And this is why gamefreak/Nintendo will never fix its games. People keep buying their games even when they are bad.

    @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 👋

    So either I finally blocked every remaining advertiser or something has broken and my timeline is gloriously ad-free. Except for the @NintendoAmerica ad that just lives at the top of every timeline refresh. Hope you guys aren’t paying per impression!

  • LoneWolfAgent Leon “Squall” Kennedy (@LoneWolfAgent) reported

    @JonesSquish And that’s the problem. They get way too excited & think that a bunch of crazy awesome games will get revealed, when it’s not always the case as they end up being disappointed. This is exactly why I don’t get excited for Nintendo Directs anymore, but I’m always still interested.

  • BryceDixonDev Bryce Dixon 🐀 (@BryceDixonDev) reported

    @RaiSpellfang This leaves Nintendo to ask the question: would fixing all these issues cause us to sell 40,000 more copies (assuming 25% profit margin) and I honestly think the answer is no.

  • SushiTheDragon Sabrina Alexinia Snow (The Human) (@SushiTheDragon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix it before continuing to advertise it you dingus.

  • WUTAdam138 Adam (@WUTAdam138) reported

    @NathanP47564512 @SpongicX @NintendoAmerica The motion controls work fine for me. Either it's an issue with your Joy-cons or it's just a skill issue.

  • Kinanakinaa Theys AND Gays💞🏳️‍🌈 (@Kinanakinaa) reported

    Idc if Nintendo's joycon repairs are free. We wouldn't need them in the first place if they stopped fighting lawsuits and fixed their ******* controllers for future releases. But no. Apparently they don't see it as a problem LMAOOOOO

  • cobensword22 Ben Gates (@cobensword22) reported

    To all #Splatoon3 players: stop playing anarchy battle for a while. It has a biased and cringey matchup system that only caters to a select few players, while all others are treated as dirt. And to @NintendoAmerica, get them Japan team to fix this utter failure of a system...

  • himbobokuto sunny ♡ (@himbobokuto) reported

    my ******* nintendo switch is ******* broken guys i literally bought it in july

  • Wolf_Tuxedo Tuxwuff (@Wolf_Tuxedo) reported

    Main issue is the combination of time limit and extended animations, which renders me unable to do anything for like 20-40% of the overall time limit. Pair this with Nintendo's usual potato online service, and you get your turn skipped even if you try to take part actively.

  • pleasanttomboy Pleasanttomboy (@pleasanttomboy) reported

    Has anyone had issues with their Nintendo Switch controllers mine keep going to the right I don’t even touch them and they constantly move so so I need ones? Or a whole new console? Help

  • Joceletris Kieran ✨⚔️🗡🐊 (@Joceletris) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Aight now fix it.

  • GameAndLuke Luke A (@GameAndLuke) reported

    @NintendoCanada I experienced a new adventure... and also a new level of poor execution by Game Freak - so many bugs and glitches in the game that I wish I postponed my trip to Paldea until such a time that the game isn't broken.

  • Kinanakinaa Theys AND Gays💞🏳️‍🌈 (@Kinanakinaa) reported

    These joycons were ******* cheaply made and they have a design flaw where it'll eventually drift. Yet somehow Nintendo didn't even see it as a problem. Nintendo deserve to be sued more than anything.

  • 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

  • SushiTheDragon Sabrina Alexinia Snow (The Human) (@SushiTheDragon) reported

    @Z0mbiella @NintendoAmerica Also currently you cannot play online without being ohko destroyed because there's currently a glitch that makes it so that you always can land a sheer cold on a certain turn because there is no RNG seed rotation so if you're playing on the online competitive ladder good luck.

  • djfunnydog420 Funny Dog ™ (@djfunnydog420) reported

    @ASmolNoko @artsycookies_ @MrWarNoob Once again Nintendo patching a “glitch” that players obviously want 🙄

  • jum4ycraft derrekBalleater21 🥚🥚 (@jum4ycraft) reported

    @somari8591 i mean this is a problem with nintendo in general but the sports titles and **** are just the worst examples.

  • DedeHedgehog De'de' (@DedeHedgehog) reported

    @owthe_3dge I'll pick it up once the ****** Nintendo decide to actually fix the game

  • MikeJaks1 Mike Jaks (@MikeJaks1) reported

    @Baeyonetta Can they just cut the whole last two chapter out and fix the story and give it proper buildup, explanation for wtf is happening (which bayo is which), and CTRL+ALT+DELETE the BayoLuka bs? That’d be so cute of you @NintendoAmerica

  • skies64_starry StarrySkies64 (@skies64_starry) reported

    @JuiceMan_V Meanwhile, Nintendo needs to do more with their controllers, like I don't know....FIX THE DRIFT

  • PikaRaichu1 Cell Complete ( Shitpost Meme Central ) (@PikaRaichu1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @illumination @UniversalPics "No game information" so you're saying there's a chance you'll fix the 💩 game
