@NintendoUK @PokemonNewsUK I'm so glad we're getting software updates to fix the problems and hopefully a performance update isn't far away

@NintendoAmerica I'm here to say the truth about these games. The game is lagging a lot when you're in a place with multiple NPCs and rain/sandstorm. This is concerning. My game actually crashed multiple times bringing me back to last save. This point is unacceptable. 1/2

@itsa_me_gameboy It's interesting to me that Nintendo apologized and it's radio silent from Game freak. You think Nintendo barged on there like... Y'all fix this... Now

@NintendoAmerica again, a Smash scandal, and they deflect the problem with Pokémon news haha

@NintendoUK please add in some sort of sound or visual indicator for shinies. Its an accessibility issue that they were removed after Arceus because it makes it a lot harder for colour-blind people to tell when they are looking at a shiny.

Update: I’m sad bc I wanted to buy/download Violet right away and now I have to wait to call in to fix my Nintendo account. I have 2 factor on and my google authenticator didn’t transfer the account over from my previous phone 🥲

@NintenDori1988 @itsa_me_gameboy I dont think the issue is with GF - most likely will be pressure from TPC and Nintendo to get it out of the oven before its had enough time to be finished

@NintendoUK I got the game day one but then started hearing about the issues. I decided to wait for a patch so hopefully I can finally start it 🤞

@NintendoAmerica What about the insane lag trying to connect to raids and during raids? Or how long it takes to get eggs to trade with friends? You shouldn't feel punished for trying to play with other players.

Anyone else wish @NintendoAmerica would have fixed their connectivity issues instead of starting a new season or releasing new weapons? This is ******* ridiculous. #Splatoon3

@WhoOrderPizza @NintendoAmerica It's a time issue not a developer issue.

DOES IT HAVE OFFLINE BOTS?
(@offlinebots) reported
@CabanonGH @GameOnBreatheOn @doinksoft Doom Classics Collection, not as major, the Doom Classics Collection (including the digital version at launch) had an issue where you had to use a NINTENDO ID Linked profile to boot the game eg: an offline blank Switch Profile wouldn't boot the game, LRG version had this 1/2

@AzureSkySM @NintendoAmerica When they announced tbe day ome patch i commented on how delivering unfinished games shouldn't be a thimg and a bunch of children either called me a troll or used "What, you want them to finish the game THEN ship it? Broken on release + patch is the standard" as their only excuse

@AddLuxray @GIBiz Thank you. This adds a lot of context to what is going on. If everything checks out from Smash World Tour's statements, they've been done *****. One side is lying. If Nintendo is lying, it looks so bad as there are major internal issues in communication.

@ARomain2 @NintendoAmerica And if you restart your game once a day and keep some space on your switch, those fps problems will not happen that often (as far as I experienced this)

@didyaknowtensei @NintendoAmerica Maybe they couldn't care less about problems being overblown on internet and needed time to understand what actually is wrong with the game instead of crying apologize to all the "gamers". I mean, I already seen people going "Pokemon SV is the worst! It's worse than Cyberpunk"

@NintendoUK I hope they fix where you can actually hit the raid Pokemon without waiting for 20 years

(@GlitchedSpace9) reported
@NintendoAmerica Please tell me we're gonna get visual and audible cue when a shiny appears. I can handle fighting a Salandit out of bounds and standing in between two Pokémon fighting, just please fix the shiny thing. There are several Pokémon that are hard to tell if they're shiny.

Paper Sunset
(@yoshi_paper) reported
The whole smash problem right now reminds me that Nintendo doesn’t care about backlash. They actively avoid anything their fans say. They just act like their fans are replaceable. “It’s fine to cancel this. We’ll just get new fans years later that will never know this happened.”

@NintendoAmerica Selling same game twice at the same time for full price. What a scam this franchise is. On top of that game is unfinished and broken in every way

@Poopikinz @CurvyKirby @NintendoAmerica No, it didn't need another year od development, will this patch fix everything? Also no, but at least they will have a decent build for the game before announcing the DLC.
