Ive noticed literally zero drift while playing Splatoon 3 handheld. Ive updated my joycon but never sent them in. Could it be Nintendo finally found a software based fix? Will this apply to other games as well?

@witchghast @forestminish In fairness, Nintendo workers have not broken into a fridge to drink breast milk

@TF2SolarLight probably just don't want to get in trouble with Nintendo tbh, you know how pissy they get

The only problem is I'm not so sure Nintendo working with them will be able to fix Illuminations other major issues, mostly just being **** writing with all the tropes and **** jokes. But who knows I'll still see it cause cause my caveman brain gets excited when it sees Mario.

@Gecked_ @BlkGodTheGamer The problem is it isn’t worth $90, but it’s Nintendo so they can market the brand. I don’t think they should be compared.

@coreyvalora Could be an issue with the Nintendo verification process…I usually get a lag with my Xbox version too

@N1Domee @spartan523_ @PeterOvo5 Not the point again. Any potential earnings are unknown for the future of the franchises as they are early. Any opportunity by not venturing into a project has nothing to do with the premise. Nintendo sees no undo issue without COD on their system. Thus not a competing issue.

The only companies that can adequately counter Game Pass PC on a like-for-like level would be Nintendo and Sony. Both of these companies have enough volume, incl. decades' worth of wholly-owned IP, content, and games to fill out such a service. Valve and Epic Games do not.

@Ballyman91 This is easily my favorite thing about the Nintendo Switch Online game service. Many of the games on it are ones I’ve genuinely wanted to play, but never wanted to spend the money on. Now I can boot it up, try it for five minutes, and never play it again without feeling bad.

@NintendoAmerica I'm playing Splatoon 2 until you fix the awful ranked matching and the bugs.

@zjlaing Joycon drift will come for you eventually. Nintendo extended the warranty on all joycons so it's a free, if slightly inconvenient, fix. Switch Lite doesn't have that extended warranty because the whole system has to be sent in. I had to argue to get free shipping and lower cost

@LadyLunanova I think the only Activision game I played was the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy remake. And I don't think I've played a Blizzard game before. But to be fair, I hate a lot of stuff Nintendo does but still play their games constantly/

@DisneyDLV please get your act together. I LOVE your game. I want to play it all the time. Problem is, I play on Nintendo Switch, and your game seems to never want to work on my gaming system. All of this freezing and crashing is making me want to quit altogether. Do better.

Hey nintendo fans, does anyone have a copy of the music disc that came with the launch day edition of Legend of Zelda BOTW? my disc was not put away properly and when i found it, it was broken. I did not have the foresight in 2017 to put this on my computer and digital versions

@Tails_External @kaiiteaa Yes it is. But nintendo games are more family oriented and there's no big story to make the lack of growt seem like a problem, plus the characters don't even speak. But sega tried several times to give Sonic something serious and tragic like in forces or 06 >

@JWilley1980 @NintendoAmerica Oh yeah, same here. Apparently people are claiming they've submitted reports to Big B and they claim there's a patch on the way... The reason for issues is allegedly the scripts for AE are running too fast and the game can't load them.

@elitepanda69 @OrdinaryGamers Yeah I don't feel sorry for emulating overpriced game cartridges because Nintendo still thinks games from 2017 should still be $60, running on 2016 mass produced hardware but wants to put an overpriced service for n64 games, etc

@SkySportsNews If anyone has a problem doing business with the owners, then you should have a problem with Disney, Uber, Live Nation, Boeing, Facebook, BP, EA Sports, ActiVision, Nintendo, etc, because they own a piece of all of them.

Nintendo why would I disconnect from a game when we won? why would that count as a loss?? Nintendo, please...

@NintendoAmerica I really hope that you fix the “not enough players” error so I can actually play the game that I spent $90 on and participate in my first Splatfest on Splatoon 3.

nintendo kind of fumbles animal crossing. they could make a ton of money and solve longevity issues by just adding happy home esque updates every so often for like $40 and i would buy the **** outta that. instead they always let the game kinda wither and die for no reason
