Bro Nintendo has GOT to chil out with these communication errors in splatoon. I have perfectly good internet and the amount of disconnects it gives me are obscene. I've had two 10 min timers in the past two days bc of these. Fix your **** @NintendoAmerica

Never thought buying a @SamsungUS 512GB micro SD card would brick and melt my Nintendo Switch but here we are. Good thing the Galaxy S22 Ultra doesn't have a TF slot because that would've hastened the expanding battery problem @Mrwhosetheboss found.

And I think some people missed the point of what were Miyamoto's instincts to go with Illumination in the first place aside from Universal and Super Nintendo World being one of them, I may have my issues with the studio,

I was gonna get a Trans symbol as my next tattoo but maybe I should show my respect for Nintendo and get a tattoo that says “A communication error has occurred.”

@MKH13Omasters Maybe its because the sort of Fanservice i personally like is fairly rare compared to the usual titillating ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) sort of service, that im usually fairly supportive of fanservice as a whole Just wish other companies other than SE or Nintendo would throw me a bone smtes too

@BamboozlerMemes I hate that. And I was hoping for Nintendo to fix that in Splatoon 3.

@ZeiferSapphire Well, considering how Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta, that won't really be a problem since SEGA will still call whatever shots needed. Besides, Bayonetta 2 didn't sell well on the Wii U yet a 3rd game was greenlit anyway.

I’ve been having some problems emulating Nintendo games. The games run fine but they’re not filling the void in my soul like I thought they would. Is there a setting for that?

@ClassicRolePla1 Xbox Series X/One controllers feel the nicest and I rarely have issues with them. I mainly use controller for action games and I never have them fail unlike Nintendo or PS controller. At least from personal experiences Xbox hasn't failed me lol

So @NintendoAmerica rather ban innocent people for using a money farming method in splatoon 3 than finish the ******* game so it doesn't give you a "communication error has occurred" message like 50 times in 1 day. Or they could focus on making the game not so empty.

And maybe I am wrong, but XB3 from what I saw looks like it fixes a lot of the superficial issues I have with XB2 such as the weird voice acting and dialogue. also Nintendo, **** Hiroyuki Sawano and just port XBX to PC and/or Switch please and thanks.

@JezCorden A weird move by Sony. Though how often do others use customer service? I've been gaming for 30 years and never used it once for either MS, Sony or Nintendo. Have I just been lucky? Or are people just being melodramatic over something they will use once or twice in their lives.
