this has genuinely been the worst ******* splatfest to date. awful connectivity issues to the point that i cant even hold 1 match, overly aggressive players, ZERO tricolor battles because nintendo patched out their frequency because scissors players are little ***** *******, +

@ardnin_ I feel like y’all are being a little too harsh. I understand that tricolour isn’t that fun when you’re on the defending team, but it’s a new mode and it needs some time, Nintendo has stated they’re actively trying to find a fix, things like this take a while /nm

@DingDongVG What's frustrating about Nintendo in particular is that I've never seen them straight up say "we messed up" and fix it like other companies would. They're content to just keep taking peoples money and not bring their netcode up to a reasonable standard

@squidschool_spl Absolute bullshit, this is. Nintendo needs to fix it yesterday. I've been on the screwed over team twice now... Won't even bother playing the 2nd day since it's a waste of my time and energy to just get bodied every match.

@N2NOther @TheCraftOfGames exaggerated praise for gimmicks (DualSense highly overrated haptics), $100 games, and $1,500.00 consoles with Nintendo being Nintendo and MS becoming 3rd party or service based only. That is the future this blind support will take us. I want one where Sony has to fight back.

@DoWhatYouDo6 "a pinata game" Best two life-sims of the 7th generation, and the best party game not made by nintendo. "avatars for a UI" with 240 games that used them in-play. One of which sold 24m. "incomplete pirate service game" which has been on Steam's top-100 for 160 contiguous weeks.

@bryanjedi82 One of the biggest issues was that they viewed as "kiddy", right? As soon as the Switch dropped, ads were more measured and focused towards teens and adults as a result. The Nintendo community made them this way.

@DingDongVG My bro from Gear got many connection errors while I play for Fun and have none on the same Switch. Nintendo is biased for Fun!

You know how @NintendoAmerica/@Nintendo solves the issue of the lead team getting destroyed? LET EVERYONE PICK THEIR MODE AND ACTUALLY GET THE MODE THEY PICK! But maybe that was just too difficult for Nintendo to come up with, better to block people from tricolor instead🙃

Adrian Martinez looked broken last week. This week? Not so much. Maybe K-State reset him like a Nintendo cartridge. Take him out, blow out the dust and restart.

Every time I get a team and we start winning, Nintendo decides to punish me with a connection error. They are scared of what Team Grub could do.

The first video game I remember playing was Super Mario World. It was on some family trip and I had to get up before my cousins of I wanted to play it because they wanted to play some sports game. Problem was I had no idea how to turn on a Super Nintendo.
