Are you looking for an answer to whether or not the game runs well on the Switch? If so, you may want to worry about frame drop. There have been a few reports of this issue on the Nintendo Switch, so if you experience it, be sure to report it to Nintendo.

nintendo never wanted to harm the competitive scene anymore at least for ultimate because it has helped the developers to balance out their game and to make it initially so I don't know why people are still blocked in 2013 regarding this "issue"

Nintendo, who ******** did you put in charge to think 205 was acceptable and pander to the overfishing crowd? How's about you ******' fix that **** with a balance patch, build an "Overfishers Only" mode within Salmon Run, and give us the ability to sell off items we don't need?

@sincespacies Without Sony as a competitor Sega Dreamcast May have been more successful as well. But also we don’t know if Microsoft would have been swayed from creating XBOX. We would have never had Crash Bandicoot. And maybe Nintendo would actually incorporate voice acting.

@ScurvyOnDeck @IGN Nintendo have a better track record of releasing non buggy games than Sony and Xbox combined. Pokémon was just a rare instance. Also the online service includes online play. Compare that to Sony and Xbox, it’s cheaper than both and you get classic games

@cptcrabhammer @NintendoAmerica And this matters why? Also, I hate to break it to you, but that's your problem, not all of people, myself included. Just saying.

@JojoTheFirstOne @NDarkson984 People would be clamoring for a Nintendo Cinematic Universe which will inevitably devolve into the same issue DC and Marvel have in which none of the characters are ever allowed to be let go.

Aniplex and Nintendo are probably the worst companies when it comes to copyright issues. Nintendo is proven but I'm sure anime youtubers know what I'm talking about when i say Aniplex is ****.

@Bran_Ridire N64 had some great games but the problem was that they were basically all made by Nintendo or Rare. Third party support for the console was near zero as everyone wanted access to the CDs Playstation used rather than be restricted to cartridges on the N64.

@Rad_Thibodayoks @notnotnothalted @PDakkadakka Not true, that's not how goods and services work. Now if Nintendo charged you a continuous $3 a month to play their game, but yes. But if it's a flat one time thing, then that's a good not a service. And you could alter any good you have purchased as you see fit.

You can really tell MK11s performance issues on Nintendo Switch, it's bad, but docked it's fine if runs smoothly on 1080p, I don't know how about switch, any console plays better on MK11. I probably just need someone to play with..

@lail_josh @IGN My main issue with Nintendo is that they've half-assed everything since the passing of Satoru Iwata. Whether it's shady business dealings, charging $10 a month for online emulation or charging $60 for a incomplete mess, like Pokemon - it's a constant letdown.

@PlayStationEU so my ps5 controller is "drifting" after looking in to this it sounds like same issue on ps4. Common problem for controllers. Nintendo had the decency to repair for Free. Will you be doing the same or just contune to rip off customers?

if you're having trouble fighting a charger as a splatling, or fighting a splatana as a shooter, good. thats how its supposed to be if you don't like it, the users of a weapon/class are not at fault. blame nintendo, not the players

@K_Y_Bob @kingdavidotw All that and I still firmly stand by what I said. Neither Playstation or Nintendo needs a sub service to move their first parties, unlike Xbox

It’s a damn shame Nintendo didn’t fix the single biggest problem with Metroid Prime; all they had to do was let you switch to third person. First person and platforming is a stupid combination.

@kristanovva I'd love a Metroid Sci-Fi horror film in the same vein of the first two Alien movies. The problem is that I doubt the studio that gets it (if any studio does), would most likely not have the ***** to do a proper horror film out of a Nintendo game adaptation.

Nintendo really needs to fix the **** out of Eggstra Work and balance it better than how it is now. How ******** is the current way they run it now even acceptable? Jesus...
