  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...

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

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

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

  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

  @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.

  I honestly feel like Nintendo is gaslighting us by just refusing to acknowledge Pokémon’s performance issues. I don’t complain about graphics. I don’t care about graphics. But this game is broken, and it’s absolutely mind boggling Nintendo and Pokémon have not addressed it yet.

  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.

  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

  lmfaoooooooo the angle shooter mark applier buff...nintendo is like :)) did we do it? did we do a good job?? no....no the damage and paint output is the issue. not the speed and range

  Theys AND Gays💞🏳️‍🌈 (@Kinanakinaa) reported 18 minutes ago

  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.

  @HenselRay I have obtained the means to modify my Nintendo Switch. I will be using this device (a "jig") to apply a "softmod" (modification without physically changing the hardware) to the Nintendo Switch. This will likely result in my Nintendo Switch Online service being banned.

  @Tassydevil2000 @PersonaSpeaks I agree with you in the sense that others game do more in regards to overall design and still perform better on the Switch. My issue is Nintendo not holding GameFreak to a higher standard and demanding a game that doesn’t have the issues it’s had for years.

  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
