@MrGehab I haven’t had as much issues with Splatoon 3 but I’m tired of waiting to get into a lobby and then be told there was an error. Nintendo Online should not cost money 😒

Or idk man maybe Nintendo of America was the problem here, maybe it was some out of touch American executive going "blablabla for some reason changing it to this will be More American" and idk man there's a thousand ways a translation can go wrong

I'm a part of the problem since i buy them every time one comes out but they're the most boring games Nintendo sells

The funniest type of Nintendo fanboys are the ones who try and argue that Peer to Peer is better than Dedicated Servers. And also that Splatoon 3's connection issues are a user problem instead of a Nintendo problem.

In 2018 when i got a switch, one of the controllers came broken and wasn't useable. Nitendo didn't give a refund or did anything. #fucknintendo #NintendoSwitch #Nintendo

@Anthony45866568 @ModernVintageG @autumnflowers09 It definitely could however all other Nintendo games I’ve played on switch don’t disconnect this often even splatoon 2 which is even more weird

@BriannaWu The idea that Nintendo's notorious aversion to technology is in the interests of protecting children is...an interesting take. That might be part of it but Nintendo's problems run far deeper than that.

@SaberGames To who it may concern, Crysis 2 on Switch has some performance bugs/issues on Nintendo Switch. The game will suddenly crash while playing it. The audio seems to come in and out during gameplay. Are you working on a Patch to fix these issues?

@LumpyPete Almost every authentication app is crappy lol, I've tried looking for one that does not have that issue and found nothing. The entire call took less then 10 minutes, and most of that was just waiting. Nintendo can't do anything about the apps that are available

@evandcs @ModernVintageG Nintendo should really set up actual dedicated servers instead of using P2P off everybodys Switches and charging us for a service that doesn't exist

@UsmanFragger @GowturServices Some old glitch on the Nintendo and Fortnite caught on an any account who did the glitch got skins removed and negative depending how much you got out of it

@Demian06695693 @ModernVintageG Lol yes Isn't a connection problem, this is nintendo not implementing proper online servers.

I generally quite like the Nintendo first-party controllers this gen (Joycons and the Switch Pro controller) but I fixed the drift on my Pro controller several times and even replaced the sensors with new ones and it just keeps coming back. I am thoroughly sick of this issue.

@Dajoka16 @Oti09280470 Crypto is crap. Nonsense. Plus, Nintendo keeps releasing older games, especially from Wii U. Sony and Nintendo always bust their assess to release better and better games, optimised for the hardware. PC releases are highly prone to technical issues.

@bingobangaa 100% it sucks. Idk what’s worse, taking a loss off Nintendo’s dogwater online service and disconnecting or taking a loss from factors that aren’t even relevant in the game mode you’re playing. Probably the first one bc I’m losing money too.
