@KBababouie Think the issue is Nintendo likely wouldn't give any money to Game Freak. Hence Bank being £4.49 here in the UK etc.

.@NintendoAmerica NEEDS to fix their server issues with #Splatoon3 . This is getting ridiculous. I’ve had three communication errors in a row trying to find a match. I find one on my 4th try, then mid match someone gets disconnected which ends the match

@RockLeeSmile As far as im aware very very few steam games are region locked. However consoles like playstation and Nintendo ect are dlc region locked mostly (ex nintendo support and this was a big issue all the time when some one would accidently buy a EU version of a game online in the us)

It’s low key impressive how Goldeneye’s announcement is exposing how uneducated people are about Nintendo Switch Online’s service.

@BulbaWhat98 The majority of nintendo Twitter can just be erased and I’d have no problems with that

@mattgcn @lanadelphox Not to mention Pokemon Battle Revolution already fixed the issue of Pokemon changing stats between games by having them be copied; there was no risk involved, because the original would remain untouched. Apparently Nintendo isn't smart enough to use a concept from 15 years ago.

what if you wanted to play splatoon 3 but Nintendo online said "a communication error has occurred."

@PoltergeistStar Very cool Nintendo. At least you didn’t disconnect during story mode I guess

@GoldenEraDoco The controls and framerate have aged poorly. Sort those out and it's really enjoyable. I doubt Nintendo will do anything to improve it though. Just throw a rom on the online service and walk away.

@NintendoAmerica @NintendoCanada @SplatoonNA Day 5 (6 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. $90 for a game I and many others haven’t been able to play since launch. This needs to be addressed.

@dark1x I have a feeling that one of the stipulations regarding the rerelease is that it’s not available to buy. The rights issue is way too convoluted to say who gets what from the profits of sold copies. I think it’s also why Nintendo get the best version over Xbox.

@grantkirkhope The 64 version seems its not a remaster but the 64 game emulated and as like every other multiplayer with online on the nintendo online service, is the emulator that deals with it without additional work on the original game so it makes sense.

@Puertorock77_ Xbox gets native 4K with achievements for FREE and OWN the game,while Nintendo gets an old port locked to a rental service. Meanwhile, sony fans are left in the dust lol

@S3NT1N3L17 @TrueAchievement It wasn't made for online coop, Nintendo switch online makes the games in its service belive the games are running on the same system, then it makes the host player 1 and the other people player 2/3/4 based on when they joined. You should look up stuff before you tweet about it.

@TarZangief It’s definitely a “bad practice”, but in this specific scenario, on this specific platform, theres really nothing wrong with it. Nintendo ought to know and control what range of ports software listens on, and its dumb that they don’t. But also not really a problem. Just stupid.

@Saltiest_Gaming They don’t need to that’s the problem. Microsoft and in some respect Nintendo haven’t forced their hand. Why show off never before seen games now when the competition have very little/nothing coming in the next six months

@mewtwozero I believe that was a one-off issue for @NintendoUK due to the mourning of the Queen. It’s my understanding that multiple other localized broadcasts occurred (Japan, Brazil, etc.) The issue with @Derek_Lieu’s post seems to be conflating a localized instance into the “only” one.

@NintendoAmerica and @SplatoonNA For the love of all that is fresh and woomy, fix your splatoon 3 servers. Your game is otherwise unplayable online. #Splatoon3

@Win98Tech Yeah and people wonder why I still don't own a Switch. This is one of the main reasons why. Nintendo needs to outsource their online service to a reputable company on their next generation of console.

@kev95570657 On a regular Switch no, most people have UPNP routers at this point, but if they dont and they follow those instructions because they dont know better and it is what Nintendo says to do you got a huge problem

@sandord I have that problem when logging in at Nintendo. Not sure where the cut off the password, but I'm always providing a wrong one & end up resetting it (which does work with long password). I've connected it to Google now, so am able to login using that account.

@ElGuajeVilla071 @Wristlocks4All Because stadia is a platform. Luna doesn't have the option to buy titles does it? The expectations are different if a platform doesn't get a game like Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Stadia compared to a service like Luna, Stadia Pro, Gamepass.

@Jabokchoy that has got to be a you problem because this games online has been the best any Nintendo game has had for me. i havent disconnected once and i have never just randomly been splatted 10 seconds after an encounter with someone. you must be in a blind spot or your switch is damaged

@NagaSlateTTV oh my ******* god lmao i mean given that nintendo has no clue how the internet works i am not surprised that their solution to connection issues is just "lmao just turn off your entire firewall" cool thanks nintendo, want me to uninstall my antivirus and delete system32 too?
