@TheFonzPart @NintendoAmerica Soooooo don’t get it? I’m not understanding what the issue is. Is there a mental block?

@Celry0125 steve needs to be banned so that nintendo makes it more balanced. This will start a movement to get nintendo to fix more problems

@johnnyjl96 I agree its not good, but Nintendo and Sony makes its bread and butter off gaming and cant afford to go rogue. Xbox hasnt been competitive since the 360 days and yet neither Nintendo or Sony has gone off the rails so i think its a no worry issue. Someone else will take Xbox place

Is there anybody that can help me @NintendoDE @Nintendo @NintedoSupport ? I have a problem with my Switch in handheld mode! I used to connect Controllers (Switch Pro as well as 3rd Party Controllers) via the USB-C port on the bottom but for some reason it doesn't work anymore

@aDrive_tK I would of thought so if it wasn't for Nintendo acknowledging the scarlet and violet performance issues and them commiting to fixing it, I doubt the next game, if legends or a new gen, won't have those problems moving forward.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon I bought the S/V DLC immediately after seeing the Presents dropped and upon trying to use my mystery gift code for H. Zoroark, I was met with an error message. Afterwards i attempted to use it again, but was told the code had already been used. I hadn't

You have 3 minutes to beat the thing... and the timer counts down, even if no-one can get moves to process due to lag/latency/ping/Nintendo's net code being ****/etc.

I also feel like banning the character will just make Nintendo make a move to fix it knowing Sakurai had like 0 testing because of COVID. In the end the cubed man is broken but banning a character shouldn’t be the option to fix the solution.

@HellNaw1998 @ImOwFromYT @singh_krishanu Yes literally majority of current phones and tablets are better than Nintendo switch, especially those high-ends devices . So it should work as u said. Apexm’s devs should work much harder to make the game more optimised, instead of the game always have issues, glitches, bugs…

@NintendoUK They're selling DLC but haven't released updates for the issues in the main game?!

They need to address the core issue instead of making bad specials that are still bad the counterplay because guess what Nintendo: the specials you buffed are still garbage and crab is still gonna be good and we’re still gonna have double splash comps.

@NintendoAmerica did the pokemon go plus+ (terrible name) crash your site or did they sell out? Either way it won't add 2 of them to cart. Sad day.

@D00bler_ @NintendoAmerica So many people loved the game to bits despite the performance issues and occasional bugs. Just because Game Freak isn't given nearly enough time to iron out their games it doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy them for what they are, which 8s possible.

Its really disappointing when during the Nintendo Direct they do GB and GBA for Nintendo Online but can't add any Pokémon title to it that would significantly boost downloads and also fix the insane 3rd party sales of older gen games.

Like this tech made the concept of a Steve ban actually plausible and not sound like some cheesy BS b/c people dislike the character Nintendo ain’t gonna do **** 🙃 I’m still on the fence personally, but I can very easily see this become an issue if left unchecked (2/2)

@danno_omen Haha with all due respect - this is a total misjudgment by you imo! PlayStation community is eating big time, where is this coming from? Jeff Grub just told you PlayStation is about to unload. Once again with all due respect Xbox Problems are not Nintendo/PlayStation problems

@NoMansSky Know what would be cool? If the 60 dollar game I bought for Switch wasn't so prone to crashing that I DON'T WANNA PLAY IT AS I'M ALWAYS WAITING FOR THE NEXT CRASH!!! Could you FIX THE GAME?!?!? Or get Nintendo to refund my money since the game is BROKEN ESSENTIALLY.

@RockManSSBU @justb00ket Really ****** up that you got harassed. It was genuinely a good idea. A while back someone reported a buncha Falcon bugs then the character got buffed like 3 times. Probably was a coincidence but still the best way to official reach Nintendo regarding in-game issues.

@XCidoClipDump **I won’t sugarcoat it though, I hope a temporary ban happens—only to encourage Nintendo to make a fix. 👍

After announcing Game Boy, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company knew people would be expecting the classic games on NSO. They had to have known people would be upset if they weren't at least announced. Which leads me to believe the problem was the technology in regards to trading.

@NintendoAmerica $35 for a dlc to be shoe-horned onto an already broken game just shows how incredibly greedy the Pokémon company is. How pathetic

That Pokemon direct made it clear to me that there's a disconnect between GameFreak and Nintendo.

This happened with Bayonetta Smash 4 as well but the patch just didn’t ******* work. However, Nintendo realized that there was a problem and they needed to fix it. I feel as if Nintendo knows about it and sees what’s happening but probs doesn’t care enough to do anything.

@WAWAHOAGIEFEST1 @Wario64 It's the engine more than anything. Tears of the Kingdom is proof what switch can do, but Nintendo and gamefreak still have no desire to inject more money into pokemon games bc everyone still keeps buying them even with all of these issues

Yeah I'm sorry not sorry but I'm glad I finished the Pokedex in Scarlet before this garbage patch because the number of pokemon in the wild is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. This was a cheap fix @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica and you know it. Hopefully the game is fixed properly by the DLC.🤞
