@NintendoEurope @SplatoonNA It's ridiculous that Nintendo releases a game like Splatoon 3 in 2022. The amount of coonection errors is unbearable. Nobody at that company seems to know how a multiplayer lobby should work.

Nintendo's Online. I know its cheap but i spent my splatfest getting communication errors, getting kicked because of not enough players or no contest due to others getting disconnected during matches. Thats before the fact i cant join a friend without a connection error.

"a communication error has occurred" SUCK MY **** NINTENDO

Also, connection error has occurred because Nintendo decided to use p2p instead of servers on devices (the switch) with known flaky as **** NIC and it feels like no resilience for lost packets or an occasional rubber band

@NintendoAmerica FIX YOUR GAME NINTENDO! I have played 8 hours in this Splatfest, only 2 tri-color matches and 1 of those got a communication error. I'm tired of playing the same teams over and over. Also, If you're gear? you get to play against yourselves. A lot. It's not fun... Please fix this.

nintendo gives me comm errors when they know me and my partner would be too powerful together in tri color 😔

@Stickz____ The only disconnect during a tricolor/multiplier match that I've seen has been 3 people at once during a tricolor, so it was probably Nintendo's servers at that point

@LonelyGoomba Splatoon 1 and 2 both had bad connection issues. A lot of Nintendo games have crap online, but Splatoon has the worst imo.

@GrantSteiner5 Hatok's more than put up with **** from Nintendo fans for daring to not find Super Mario Odyssey perfect. I'm not saying all of them have problems, but in this instance I'm not gonna blame him for some shade

@GodKensa If not that then its the wonky way nintendo handles connection errors and such ._. Seems nintendo and splatfests just dont have a happy medium apparently o-o

@AlinePiroutek @KingofPrinnies @FerrisWheelPro Your acting like Nintendo suddenly changed Iwata did **** like threaten Sakurai to make brawl Oversaw the utter downfall of Nintendo as a game developer for all instead trying to appeal children Failed to fix the wii u despite having YEARS to turn it around

Salò 2: punished gremlin
(@RyanHupp) reported
@shanhorandraws But even then you’d think Nintendo could use proxies like player level (something battle-pass live service games don’t have in as simple a form), Clout, or just hours played as part of the equation, especially since S3 seems to have a really healthy active player base

@Didact343 I reckon they'll maintain the current model until they get the pipeline sorted for all the games as a service games they have said are coming. I'm pretty sure Nintendo on the other hand will never do it

@ManlyBanchou25 The 3DS was Nintendo's bread and butter during that era. It had issues but at least games were coming out for it

I've only played ONE tricolor the entire fest and there was a connection error at the end so... Nintendo please

Getting to the last few seconds of a round on #Splatoon3 for someone to just quit out forcing a connection error is both super annoying and bad design on Nintendo's part.

@AzureAvery2 @DisneyDLV @NintendoAmerica My problem is I messed up the quest and used the glittering herring for the pickled herring recipe. Now I can’t catch a second one, even in the rain 😭

I grinded all the way up to Grub Ruler in #Splatoon3 . all 999+ points. And i got TWO #tricolorturfwar battles where someone didnt leave immediately knowing they wouldn't have to play a tricolor battle if they just ate the loss penalty for disconnect. Fix it, nintendo

@YouTubeTV @YouTube There's a problem on Nintendo Switches.. Whenever i clicked on a video with my finger (bc its touch screen) and not by moving the joycons it would play a video that was before it that the joycons were selecting. so basically it doesnt play sounds.

Nintendo: We fixed Tricolored Turf War occurrence rates. Me: MY LAST 50, PROB 100 BATTLES ARE ALL NORMAL!! *Gets one, but then disconnects Post Match in the results so it doesn't count* Me: There are no words I can safely muster to describe this without causing a major problem.

@nyoomi_spl I want everyone to be able to enjoy this game too! But we're going around in circles with you saying "X-rank ppl are allowed to have fun!" and I'm saying "X-rank ppl are making it so casual players CAN'T have fun!" In the end, it's Nintendo's job to fix their matchmaking.
