@IGN If you only game on Nintendo, then I can see why the Switch launching as outdated tablet tech is bothersome to you. If you own all the consoles and only use your Switch as a sidekick kind of device, I doubt it is much of an issue. It isn’t for me at least.

@NintendoAmerica respectfully, i want to enjoy this game but the amount of communication errors is ridiculous and makes the game unplayable.

@Drdeku_PhD Both makes sense. I can’t play Bayonetta on my playstation despite Nintendo not owning Sega and nobody has an issue with it.

@LoveandMir @IGN Its not a monopoly while there is still a single competitor company selling/providing the same equal equivalent product or service, in this case PlayStation, Nintendo, Steam are all doing this and they would never sell to Microsoft.

@rulerzreachst4n ehhhhh considering nintendo has been issuing refunds (which is EXTREMELY rare) and has released a rare statement about wanting to fix some of the issues the game had i'm sure that they're not very happy with how much backlash the game's been getting from players

@NintendoAmerica This game getting nominated is beyond unacceptable. The game uses p2p and charges a fee to play online. It still has connectivity errors months after release with zero successful attempts to resolve these errors.

@EddiePReactions As for Nintendo, they always follow last. They charge us for their piss poor online service, it’s only a matter of time until they follow everyone for price increases. I just hope they hold out longer than Xbox did.

@honnojis i thought that was only for digital copies which they usually refund on LOL, didn't know about the rare statement of them wanting to fix issues-- idk i just have low faith in nintendo/game freak with this kind of stuff lol

@AlinePiroutek @SpawnWaveMedia @DirectFeedGames I think if we can actually get more games to run in 1080p without any issues, it'll be a massive upgrade. And if we were to get a new Switch, I don't think Nintendo would drop support for the current Switch.

The issue is, Xbox Live is vastly superior to both Nintendo & Playstations online offering. But at the same time....what exactly does the Xbox have that makes me say "this is my console"

@NintendoAmerica The Tera Raids in pokémon Scarlet and Violet ******* suck. 90% of the raids is just cutscenes and dialogue. Then another 5% is sitting there put asleep since apparently every pokémon on earth has yawn..? Fix these laggy *** in unsynchronized **** *** raids.

@NintendoAmerica Kirby should get this. Splat isn’t a “family” game and it’s online is mostly broken. Still.

@TheOmla3 @BL4NK4shane @Technicals_ They already ran without license. That isn't the issue. it's not automatic, Nintendo would need to pursue a trademark issue i.e a civil case, which they could lose, I don't know the probability, but is not cut clear. So they are not forbidden from running, they jus risk a suit.

@NintendoAmerica It's still got major problems but "online multiplayer doesn't suck" for a Nintendo game is worthy of a vote

@NintendoAmerica Wouldn’t know you refuse to fix the online connectivity errors. You charge a fee to access online and refuse to fix errors of your online games only allowing p2p.

So I found out if your game crashes during sandwich power , when you get back on it's gone. I had 25 mins left at least. Thanks @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica I hope there's some fix for these crashes soon.

@NintendoAmerica I have no problem with the family category but it seems Geoff Keighley and his award show still doesn't take Nintendo seriously. It's insulting actually. He would rather bow down to Kojima or some movie game that's not really a game.

Nintendo support mentions forwarding an entire range of 1024-65535 UDP ports but that step wasn't needed in my specific case. Also I had no issues accessing eshop, this was specific for just Pokemon connectivity - trades/battles/etc.
