@rayforcegame @YOG3NSHA It's also still coming to Switch with no issues. Because apparently Nintendo has more sense than Steam does.

@inktorosalina this is yet another glitch on Nintendo's Splatoon 3 glitch checklist that'll get eventually patched until the next minor/major update comes

@DeezyDevs Playstation didn't kill Sega. Sega was already in financial problems with Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. Both consoles failed to make any kind of deals also their biggest competition was Nintendo and Nintendo didn't have the resources like Sega did.

@JenMsft @jadaiyuki The only issue I have with it is that it's "up" is to the right, while the physical volume buttons on my surface, "up" is on the left, making volume up counterintuitive... Wish I could adjust the buttons to be opposite to match the ui (and my Nintendo switch for that matter)

Please @NintendoAmerica, tell me what ******** I'm paying with NSO. The service is total dog ****. Anything retro worth "paying for" is not included so it can be sold. Most importantly, the internet is a ******* mess. Y'all ******* up #Splatoon3 with these connection errors.

@NintendoAmerica You have tried to "fix" the communication errors twice now and it's just as bad as ever.

The psp stick on the 3ds took a little extra work but its still much better than a broken rubber ****** that nintendo shat out. Now I gotta work on how to play Daxter or Maverick Hunter X again, and other **** too. Hope it isn't much harder than doing a 3ds job.

@BethesdaSupport don’t tell me to contact Nintendo. I paid $70 for a game that at launch was working fine. Now it’s barely playable. Just look into a fix for this. #SkyrimAnniversary #Switch

Thanks nintendo for the **** net code and communication errors so I can lose grade on salmon run even when we only spawn in with 3 people

Hey nintendo can you fix splatoons servers so I don't derank every five seconds on salmon run since your game reads disconnecting due to your **** servers as a loss

I am being toxic and DCing tonight. Reporting me to Nintendo won't fix the problem. Buy me estrogen to lower my T levels instead 💙

@TheOnlyHKen @NintendoAmerica Connectivity issues are not fixed by the way. On fact they seem the same or worse the. Before the patch. The game is still worth it but I really hope they fix the comm errors soon

@CARNAGENOVA1 @CptPikmin @charlieINTEL Nintendo has no problem with this, why? Because Nintendo innovates and competes, that's why Splatoon 3 is selling gang busters and why the Switch is outselling the PS5 and Xbox Sony doesn't want to compete hence why they're crying

Okay /gen Splatoon question. I get Nintendo Online communication errors really frequently, and so I get time-out banned a lot. I’ve noticed that the time of the bans keeps going up- the last one was 18 minutes. Is there a cap to how high it goes?? I just wanna play Splatoon 😭

(@KoreaJ1N) reported
Nintendo and Namco execs planning Splatoon/Gundam Netcode: if the player kills an enemy in the first 5 seconds of the match and the enemy disconnects, lets give the winning team a communication error and count it as a loss

@JRZ_74 @TodayInSportsCo Mine was used bought after the video game crash. I think we got it in 1983. I was playing it up until I got a Nintendo in 1988 though.

@smashbrolink Nintendo gave me a number to call and ask for a refund from the higher ups. They said they couldn't do nothing about it or contact Bethesda about the issue

@Yamine_Aku @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Whatever they did to “fix” this in the last patch has not improved ANYTHING.

@TheLastCokeman @AidenRS139 The problem is that there's a lot of non-Nintendo characters in Ultimate so if they were to make a story like Subspace Emissary in Ultimate they would need to work with all those involved just for a game mode I'm sure they didn't do that because it would take too much time

@OmniDraconic Honestly, I agree with that Zelda, Zero Suit Samus, basically any Nintendo Princess are overrated as **** And Pokémon has this same problem

@Nithros2 Yup. The first leak for Xenoblade 3 in summer of last year even said the game was already near completion back then and that Nintendo wanted it to be a Winter 2021 game but they had performance issues running everything which caused it to be pushed back

nintendo needs to fix the fact that king salmonid victories give a ******* pittance of scales compared to losses

@ElderScrolls There’s a problem with the update. You can’t travel to windhelm via horse carriage on the NINTENDO SWITCH. The game just force closes. You have to take off the survival setting before you can do so. But it’s only windhelm so far.

@MarmaladeGames When are you guys going to fix Game of Life 2 on Switch? Sweet Haven crashes every time you try to open it and you haven't even been releasing new boards with the season pass as promised. Started to feel like you guys are just scamming. is @NintendoAmerica even aware of this?
