  • nightseeye Nighty uwu (@nightseeye) reported

    @nightseeyeGames Like i cant even enter the game queue, and im not sure if its my switch, or something wrong with the game card itself (I also barely had any issues with the premiere/demo, so this is really fustrating!!!) #splatoon3 #NintendoSwitch #Nintendo

  • 0ctober_01 October01 (@0ctober_01) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I literally beat the story mode, then didn't get the ending credits, news, or other cutscenes because my switch had turned off like 10 minutes earlier and the game had to reconnect me. Please fix this. I wanted to see the cutscenes :(

  • ItsRuniHura RuniHuracomms open (@ItsRuniHura) reported

    @Toxycbatfox Yeah I saw, maybe Nintendo did that to make it more chaotic... or it's another glitch

  • Arachniteer “Spider” Albinson (@Arachniteer) reported

    @765BenC It was like this with Splatoon 2. Combine @NintendoAmerica's ****** servers with the Switch's horrible wireless technology, it's disconnect after disconnect.

  • STSuperNova SavageRat Entertainment (@STSuperNova) reported

    @TokyoYanny @acnh_miss it's hilarious to me that people beg for more out of Nintendo for ACNH and they don't respond or care anymore and so people are like "well fine, I'll do it myself' and mod their own game Granted I feel like it can sometimes crash the game or f up the game which is why I don't lol

  • gy_sup SupNovaGY | Art Gallery pinned 📌 (@gy_sup) reported

    @LemonCloverz Yeah same even Salmon Run I’ll have trouble but not as much as with Turf wars; I hope Nintendo fixes it soon it’s difficult to level up or get steaks of wins 😭

  • santielrich stock man (@santielrich) reported

    for when all the countries are going to have the section of missions and rewards I pay for the service but in the end I only receive part of it therefore I should pay less if I still do not receive all the cerbicio #NintendoSwitch #Nintendo #NintendoSwitchOnline @NintendoAmerica

  • DVD_the_Founder Trần Long Duy (@DVD_the_Founder) reported

    @smg4official Who can deal with Nintendo License issue? If you didn't pass this round, You will officially gone for next round.

  • MrBobbySmith96 Bobby Smith (@MrBobbySmith96) reported

    @DrewSav It was an issue with a lotta Japanese devs in general during the PS3/360 era. Kinda insane how long it took for FF13+15, The Last Guardian, etc to come out. Not surprising that Nintendo is running into the same issues to some extent

  • TylerInsomnia Tyler Insomnia (@TylerInsomnia) reported

    Fun getting reminded why I didn't play ranked mode much in Splatoon. Of the 2 matches I actually won today, one of them had a communication error right at the end so it didn't count. :( Love that I paid money for Nintendo's ****** online service.

  • bnubs69 Randy (@bnubs69) reported

    Bro splatoon 3 is nearly unplayable fix your servers Nintendo

  • SpicyBigFather G9Lardo (@SpicyBigFather) reported

    Aye yo @Nintendo fix my Minecraft adult settings please!

  • LewdBot3 LewdBot3🔞 (@LewdBot3) reported

    cant believe i got ban hammered in splatoon 3 for "leaving matches" i ******* keep getting connection errors my internet is fine nintendo your servers suck ***

  • HandheldG HandheldGamer (@HandheldG) reported

    I have been temp banned twice because the game decides to consistently get communication errors at the very end of the match. Please for the love of god fix the server issues @NintendoAmerica

  • AdamBassOfMass Adam Bass (@AdamBassOfMass) reported

    @DrewSav From what I understand, Nintendo’s lack of moving forward into the future isn’t just a them problem. In many Japanese companies, they still do things by fax. A “if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it mentality” when it should be a consistent upgrades

  • KahoXN KahoXN (@KahoXN) reported

    Nintendo is the only company that can make their customers pay for online, make it ******* garbage, and still have some of those people defend it. I spent more time waiting than playing with ******* 300+ second waits for an error. **** off and refund me, and then make it free.

  • FunksArt Funku (@FunksArt) reported

    nintendo fix ur dog **** splatoon 3 servers

  • WNwonderland krusty_god_of_anime (@WNwonderland) reported

    @NextGenPlayer Japan isn't a Microsoft market shocked Nintendo isn't bigger considering its the Japanese console,playstation seem to be forgetting there roots censoring fan service games and burning Japanese gamers with the price increase which they were not happy about

  • TheAstrokage Aʂtrøƙαɠҽ’s💥Splatoon Era (@TheAstrokage) reported

    I get a communication error every other game on salmon run. Reminder that Nintendo Switch Online (the service we pay for) is not for online servers but for a ****** virtual console Netflix. Gotta love it.

  • TetraTheThief ᎢᎬᎢᎡᎪテトラ🖤🦋 (@TetraTheThief) reported

    @milkywells ITS HARD TO DISCONNECT PRO CONTROLLERS OK WHY IS IT SUCH A HASSLE LIKE- NINTENDO WTF I've looked so much into it the only options are connecting it to your phone (the procon's bluetooth never works on my phone), bringing your OWN SWITCH or TAKING OUT THE BATTERY- WHAT-

  • DoodleHetch Doodle🍮🫐SLIMEඞPUDDING (@DoodleHetch) reported

    @cerisbeech Time to pay the extra cash for Nintendo online service. Jk don't. Even though tempting as it exists there.
