@PheeENVT @NintendoAmerica When I disconnect with 500 MB download, 12 ping and over 50 MB upload and Nintendo threatening to ban me from Online play. Seems legit

@MonkeyKingZobe Forza is close to 15million sold and at one point had over 20 million online. Halo infinite as a service game had up to 10 million. Either way not as good as Nintendo but it still surpasses any Sony exclusive over a 8 to 10 year span. Look how long it took for TLOUS to reach 10ml

@arkclaimer i don't like people that treat the entirety of nintendo as a sole entity i love the devs, the games, and a lot of the company's practices and philosophies corporate is where the problems begin but they aren't nearly as bad as people say so overall, yes i do like nintendo

@NintendoAmerica the issue with re-selling games like these is people like me have played it and knoe the story, and given that its been out for quite a while, if people like these type of games they woulf have seen or played it before.

@Taumi54503778 @SaturnAscends83 @Syluxhunter The problem is, they broke into the scene in the same way that say, MarcoMaro did. or Samus Hunter. Genuinely, no names that seemingly keep getting some things right. For Marcomaro, his hat is hung entirely on a Nintendo Direct he nailed well over a year ago.

piping hot take: what if instead of mad comp and casual players shitting on eachother constantly following this splatfest they instead used that energy to mass email Nintendo to fix the goddamn matchmaking

@ethunderx @PeterOvo5 If we are looking from the government level your original comment makes no sense since Nintendo said no not the goverment and clearly MS saw no issues in trying to buy them when it came to a regulatory stand point otherwise why would they of tried

@your_dads_bully @ManMilk2 bro, all xcock has is power, bethesda, crash bandicoot, and halo. I'd much rather stick to Nintendo or go with Sony and actually have fun games.

I'm tired of everyone ridiculing the Splatoon 3 devs for all the bugs in the game‼Who cares if you didn't receive your snails after the splatfest? Who cares if machine can deal damage through objects? Nintendo is a small indie company, they can't fix all the bugs‼‼‼

@Dylan80368938 I've never had a minutes problem with any previous Nintendo console online, even the Wii was solid enough, it's really sad because there's not much reason to hang around Nintendo games after the main campaign now, I miss pouring thousands of hours into monster hunter the most.
