@amazonskudz I was randomly checking video games prices, saw that I was regated in Nintendo and about had a heart attack. It was an easy fix, but I was about to fight lol

@AzuriteMaybe @LtArbor_ @SplatoonNA That actually is what happened though. Hasn’t happened to me but there was an update yesterday that appears to fix most problems but not all. Nintendo of America hasn’t mentioned but Nintendo of Japan has.

Especially when it comes to sonic. Like at some point it becomes you are the problem rather than random twitter user with less than 100 followers. It’s even funnier is that you’ll get mad at Nintendo fans bashing the series but if sonic does good you start acting like them.

@NintendoAmerica Hey, whatever you guys did with that new #Splatoon3 patch might have made the game's issues worse. I've had two matches online that ended because of a Communication Error, and everything was just fine before that. This has only started happening AFTER I updated.

@BottUltra @eurogamer Honestly dude I can tell you're a Sony fan but all I can say is Sony has major issues within their company. They didn't prepare properly to release a console and are struggling to even keep their heads above water despite Nintendo and Microsoft being able to do so.

@BestofthebestR7 The issue isn't that, the issue people have with the guy is that he's a massive Nintendo dickrider and the only reason he changed his mind from saying Sonic Frontiers is trash is because Sakurai said he likes the game.

@DynamoSuperX My problem with this mindset, which, it is surprising to begin with, is that Nintendo uaually makes like 1, or 2 if lucky, Mario main games per console along with some spinoff games, I feel like in this case, the Switch is still living strong after 5 years, which is good.

i completed splatoon 3 story mode with a broken joycon bc i sent a few of mine to nintendo and i thought they were fixed and i only noticed after completion that i was faster when i walked sideways rather than in a straight line

@ExpandDong15 Nintendo's *** paid online really screws with Salmon run specifically, I'm stuck on over-achiever and keep getting booted down because of communication errors and people getting disconnected midgame. And unlike turf/anarchy battles, you still get punished if you lose in SR

nintendo sure did “fix the communication errors in Splatoon 3” in a way that actually made it worse

@AboutNintendo I mean no offense by this but I mean all of Nintendo Twitter, especially the side that has become hypercritical/fixated of the Nintendo Fandom. Y'all have just as many issues as the side that whines about no new Zelda or Mario content. Both sides are frankly insufferable.

Is there anyone else that had the problem of a game crash in #Splatoon3 after killing an Octoling with the salmon in the last level? I got so far, killed that Octoling with the salmon and then it crashed, i lost all motivation bcs of it. #Nintendo #Splatoon @NintendoEurope

@KrakenMare77 I dont think switching back to 2 is the right move BUT I do 100% agree Nintendo needs to do something about the current netcode and connection problems. If those are also happening in LAN as you pointed out, then this is really bad.

@pleasantlytwstd This pisses me off the most, I think, the fps challenge. Like, holy ****. Come on. I'm mad that Nintendo has problems hitting stable 30 fps on in-home games (looking at you, links awakening remake) but our weird obsession with '120 fps or ****' can suck it

@Rin_I_Guess Honestly I get where you’re coming from. I get pretty defensive too at times, but yeah maybe you’re right and it wouldn’t be that broken, i guess we’ll never know unless Nintendo makes the change lol.

@DisneyDLV I play on the Nintendo Switch and I wanted to thank you for updating the game. I’m still experiencing some crashes, but there’s a lot fewer. One sign I’ve found is when the camera moves to a far area that you are not in. The game will eventually crash soon after.
