  • harry1ixoninsta Harry (@harry1ixoninsta) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon what about the broken indeedee raids?

  • KeyToAeris KeyToAeris (@KeyToAeris) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Then you should have delayed it to 2024 to fix the bugs plus add voice acting, BOTW level graphics and animations and actually good new Pokémon designs.

  • brady_love11 brady™ (@brady_love11) reported

    @NintendoAmerica i might actually buy it if you fix it

  • B34N_Matthew4r B34N_Matthew4rYT (@B34N_Matthew4r) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Don't patch the dupe glitch cause money go brrrrr.

  • DrFalchion KC (@DrFalchion) reported

    @SimplicityMarx @NintendoAmerica Not to defend nintendo blindly but 1. they do admit there will be *some* bug fixes here (pls pls fix the rng seed thing) and 2. this is probably their admission that more patches will be needed.

  • DouyinUS Google Buzz (@DouyinUS) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Your link is broken, and redirects to a bad gateway. Is it short enough to start a quick Twitter thread?

  • Christi01378448 TheFrenchestFry (@Christi01378448) reported

    @NintendoAmerica For those who still want to do the item clone glitch don't update and also turn off auto update software in settings. Settings -> Systems -> Auto Update

  • Nuigi12 Nuigi (@Nuigi12) reported

    @pory_leeks @NintendoAmerica Remember when people said Pokemon wouldn't address the issues :/

  • Eeveesona Eeveesona (Luna) (Super hyped for p5 4 3) (@Eeveesona) reported

    @PlayerEssence can anyone read give a picture on what it says on the link nintendo gave ..im getting a bad gateway and a 502 error..sooo (yeah ******* i guess)

  • BlueRaiden3 colin (@BlueRaiden3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica You better fix this

  • brave_cereza arven (@brave_cereza) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Fix the bug where Ribombee isn’t in the game

  • 2SecondVision Anthony Deckard Young 🇺🇲🛡️ (@2SecondVision) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Good stuff since it'll finally shut up the whiners of this generation. God, never had a problem growing up with gamers till recently.

  • kokomomomi Katana Landt (@kokomomomi) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Hope you guys also address the issue with the lack of clothing options and let us where clothes other then the school uniforms.

  • BMW658 Brandon (@BMW658) reported

    @NintendoAmerica They're gonna get rid of the duplicate glitch. I bet no performance patch. I hope I'm wrong

  • Discordiandee The boi (@Discordiandee) reported

    @NintendoAmerica “We are aware of performance issues”. Are you telling me you didn’t know about it before release?

  • TripleS_Trip Triple S 💥 (@TripleS_Trip) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place, but that last sentence sounds somewhat promising. Guess we’ll see in a few hours.

  • S1lver_Str1ker2 S1lver_Str1ker2 (@S1lver_Str1ker2) reported

    @Christi01378448 @NintendoAmerica Item clone glitch? Tf?

  • AzureSkySM sam - satyr is good for your health (@AzureSkySM) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it's good that it's being patched but unacceptable that it was released in this state in the first place performance aside the open world was extremely boring and lackluster, and rushing future games will create the exact same results of both technical and gameplay problems

  • T_C_O_ Total (@T_C_O_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If they fix the weird graphical glitches and the slowdown, ill be happy, cuz the game is really good, and its sad that people cant play it cuz its glitchy

  • ShellderCashman Sheldon Cashman (@ShellderCashman) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 The game is good, out of 30 hours I’ve played I’ve only had 1 minor glitch and 3 FPS drops for a second or two each time, plus it’s a game for 8 year olds people, stop being so pressed about it

  • fatblackwoman brandy gomer (@fatblackwoman) reported

    @SimplicityMarx @NintendoAmerica Bug fix*

  • shanetron record lows (@shanetron) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 can you fix frame rate issues in link’s awakening for switch?

  • LunarWingCloud Brandon #TeamViolet 💜 (@LunarWingCloud) reported

    @NintendoAmerica All I really want addressed is the framerate, the memory leak issue that messed up a few things like the E4 music looping wrong, and the online battle RNG manip to be fixed. I would also appreciate more detailed textures like they did with SwSh in updates but that will take time

  • whiterose_nyc The unforgiven 🇸🇻 (@whiterose_nyc) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 Hopefully, they fix the game with this update

  • REXBLASTER2 REXBLASTER (@REXBLASTER2) reported

    @NintendoAmerica They need to fix all the performance and frame rate issues to the S&V game. There are many errors that demonstrate the low quality, in addition, the objects and the people that appear and disappear meters away cannot be enjoyed well.😠😤

  • HL2DM_Official Half-Life 2: Deathmatch 🍥 (@HL2DM_Official) reported

    @ElCocinero386 "esports" isn't the problem. Nintendo is

  • saltyfries47 saltyfries47 (@saltyfries47) reported

    @NintendoAmerica nintendo please don’t fix the game it’s so much better with the stupid bugs

  • dab_guy21 Dab Guy (@dab_guy21) reported

    @AidenRS139 @NintendoAmerica But will it fix things is the big question

  • CJGrizzdaone Super Saiyan Rose CJGrizzdaone (@CJGrizzdaone) reported

    @pory_leeks @NintendoAmerica But will it fix everything or anything? We’ll see
