@geoffkeene Pirating NES games is fine. Not an issue on the player side, but nintendo's gonna flip

@MuricanZombie @astaranx And that’s kind of the point, regardless. Nintendo and PlayStation haven’t copied GP because they can’t. They don’t have a Trillion dollar parent company to help absorb the losses until the service becomes profitable. Sony is a $100B company, but that’s the whole, not PlayStation

@nickwilloughby @NintendoAmerica It’s not like it’s Splatoon 3’s fault that nso exists, and I really haven’t seen many connectivity issues except for when someone leaves most likely because they just exited the game, but I guess I’m just having good luck with the connectivity

@NintendoAmerica All I'm gonna say is "A communication error has ocurred". As much as I like Splatoon, you're not winning this one.

@sdcazares1980 @Kaizokuman @IGN Nintendo never has sold consoles at a loss like Sony and MS though, so still have always profited on hardware anyway. And those two "exceptions" you mention have sold gangbusters. They don't have a problem selling software either, they are sitting pretty right where they are.

@QueenFloof22 I think they know what they went right and wrong with, the fact that Nintendo acknowledged the performance issues should be a good sign

If I lose one more ******* 4-2 series because Nintendo decided to give me a comms error, I am actually going to lose my mind.

Okay....I managed to fix this. I had to go and reset my system clock and set it to before midnight and wait for it to turn over. It managed to work, but GameFreak? Nintendo? Pokemon Company? You better roll out some better patches cause I was about to be furious.

@SpawnWaveMedia As a nintendo only, biggest let down is probably Mario Strikers, but biggest hit is surprisingly Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. I half expected its story and gameplay to be halfway between SwSh and Arceus, plus the performance issues being egregious. But it was honestly a good game

Experienced worst customer service from #Nintendo. I called 4x to update my shipping address due to a glitch but they insist I change it through UPS. UPS says #Nintendo has restricted access so I can't update address or pick up my package. So what can I do?

@NintendoAmerica I was playing for several hours the other day and was getting disconnected a ton while just searching for a game and despite patch notes claiming to either help mitigate it or fix it entirely it almost feels like it’s gotten worse since release. Please fix your game Nintendo

A giant iconic company like Nintendo has no business dropping such a glitchy game for $60 but yes I bought it and love it but also fix it and don't do this again #PokemonScarletViolet

Just returned the second-hand Nintendo switch light I bought that had some problems at a store. They didn't even open the box to check if the device is inside let alone if it is really broken lol. I feel too trusted I don't deserve it.

@CallMeFreak3 nintendo servers bad = performance issues totally unrelated to networking or poor connection i actually didnt think people were STILL blaming the games issues on nintendo instead of the company that is known for rushing annual releases

Unashamedly enjoying Pokemon Violet
(@CallMeFreak3) reported
@pory_leeks I have played well over 60 hours of Pokemon Violet and the only "glitch" I encountered was going through the world. (Not technically a glitch but whatever.) I don't pay for Nintendo's 18 year old internet services so I've only been playing offline.

@pory_leeks The game is buggy as **** but it doesnt deserve THAT. The story is actually solid, which is saying something. Knowing Nintendo, they're just gonna use this as an excuse to not fix their games since they refuse to look at issues, and instead, use it to make terrible stories.

@Amos27914625 @arkclaimer Except Paramount made a poor design and when they got backlash the rushed an animation studio to fix it, said studio went bankrupt and shut down before the movie when came out. Nintendo talked with Illumination for a long time to make sure it looked good. pt 1

@splatoon_music @NintendoAmerica It’s too flat that causes snipers to be overpowered along with it being boring or there aren’t good flank options brinewater springs has a huge problem with being able to camp the other team it’s a beautiful stage ruined by terrible design the stages just need more height

@bsweitz123 Seems more common than ever recently — novel successes plus amusing errors makes for popular results, whether nintendo games or text generation.
