@MacMakTV Oh reason I stopped liking smash was because people were so insistent on no items no pokeballs and no smashball. Plus Nintendo's servers really let the game down with how the online quality was terrible for so many disconnections and errors.

Also I just called the cops cause Nintendo customer service implied that if I got a case number of the stolen switch from the police report, they would be able to get me the info on where my switch is, but NOPE.

@TheStonyStark Atleast 75 times if it doesn’t crash it either lags like I’m playing a Super Nintendo game or I get constant scan and repairs almost nothing worth my money.

make no mistake about it people dislike Bayonetta 2 only cause its a Nintendo Exclusive. There are some short comings like on any other game gamers have trouble adjusting to the new mechanics but its the only one with online game play and gladly for this it will never die.

@NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 50 (51 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. You’re just gonna let all of us with the error miss a third Splatfest because your servers are ****? Hope you put my $90 to good use.

@getonthestiix @dark1x Yes the frame rate drops are noticeable. Streamers have noted, I've noticed it, other people I know have noticed it. If it doesn't bother you fine but it's a performance issue regardless and should rightfully be pointed out. It's frequent and Nintendo needs to update its hardware

@dark1x It's "Digital Foundry"! The channel is for Tech snobs & enthusiasts to enjoy / learn. If he lashes out at the content because he "just loves the game regardless of technical issues" he can say just that. You can be a fan & still be reasonable. It's running on a Nintendo Switch.

@stormttek nintendo's system is the problem and it's not morally wrong to get around it,,, though why are you surprised you're getting banned and throwing a fit lmao one mf on my tl broke his switch like hello??? that's 400 dollars

@dark1x Not at all, it was a pretty honest take on what it does well and where it falls short. Pretty sure if it wasn't made just for Nintendo Switch the issues wouldn't have been an issue but they're trying to push a train through a mouse hole.

Don’t you love it when a Nintendo server error counts as a loss for a series battle?

@mewcakie I honestly think at this point you lost connection with other players. I see this a lot in anarchy/turf, few seconds before a DC there are players just standing there :( nintendo pls fix

@SomeJudge99 Nintendo are a great example actually. Trouble is their systems the last few generations have been deliberately underpowered. It's been a solid strategy for Nintendo, but it has hampered third party developers, both in Asia & the West. The Switch just does not fit in with... 1/2

@100HourReviews @NintendoAmerica That's the thing, I have a huge card with tons of space but the Switch dictates that save game data can only be in system memory. At almost 2800 games played even small save files have made it all a progressively worsening issue

Maybe one day Nintendo's online service won't be ***, but I don't see that anytime soon. I tire of losing my earnings, having to constantly re-connect from disconnects with folks I play with. The game has a weird love hate relationship with me, but Nintendo, p l e a s e.

@NindieSpotlight @NintendoAmerica Get a bigger microsd card? Feel like this is the same issue I had with the PS3 and yeah... they aren't going to "fix" this type of problem since most people aren't going to have thousands of games or allow for it to be connected easily to a computer for easy save deleting.

@LindsaySSBM @RoguePCustoms If you believe that then the options for fixing it are a.) Play a newer game without these broken mechanics b.) Make a patch to fix them (and remember that Nintendo will never back you c.) Create a new platform fighter without this issue d.) Live with this issue

@Dansplainer I don't tell people about this a lot because it sounds like some uncle at Nintendo **** but a guy I knew online who went completely insane social engineered soulja's login data and found like an unreleased track about Spongebob and I got to hear it and it was awful lol

I'm Just saying but can nintendo actually fix their skilled servers for splatoon. Because i keep getting sweet lobbies for no reason when I'm not even in higher ranks I'm only s+0 and I should be having sweet lobbies

@soulsilverart Not saying it is correct, but if it is, it's not an issue to reviewers. They might get a special Password to pre-download the missing files, or their Nintendo account is getting Whitelisted on the server. Or other things. Plenty of options there.

Dear @NintendoAmerica and @SplatoonNA , Please fix the difficulty of salmon run in Splatoon 3. There’s no reason why a regular shift in 3 should be harder than fog in 2. You’ve made it very difficult for new salmon run players to get into it. Sincerely, Literally everyone

@HardDriveMag This has to be a ******* joke, if Nintendo had a problem with Halloween costumes then all Mario costumes would be off the shelves. I call bullshit on this

@getonthestiix Nintendo didn't pick them up. They made a deal with Platinum Games to have Bayonetta exclusive on their platform. Who knows what the reasons were that this happened though. My guess is money was the issue. Anyway, it's ok if your fave things are criticized. No need to get upset.

@m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife I mean, square enix and platinum etc still make their own exclusive games for switch only despite not being owned, and i think that's better for the gaming space overall, only reason nintendo third party support lacks is cause of the hardware issues really.

@dark1x What does he mean we shouldnt wish these games on other platforms? This problem doesnt exist for ps5 and xbox exclusives because theyre not underpowered pieces of crap like the switch is. Nintendo should not be buying exclusivity rights for games that will clearly be hindered…
