@SerebiiNet If 2 blatantly broken and unfinished games can become the biggest launch in Nintendo history then this is terrible news for the game industry and sets a bad precedent. Neither Nintendo nor GameFreak have even commented on the performance issues yet.

You can't say the Pokemon game is fun without people calling you a Nintendo shill. Just because I'm having fun doesn't mean the performance problems are ok. Sure I bought the game, but I'm still having fun. I'm not going to lie to you.

@bryancoffee We got it and man is it bad for a first party Nintendo title. Pop in is terrible. Tearing is atrocious. Gameplay seems ok so far. Kids not really noticing the issues.

@Bobsplosion @SerebiiNet I saw an article title that says Nintendo support has received zero messages about problems with the game and that there aren't any patches planned, but that's not really the best source.

@HatokTalk Yeah it's weird seeing people say it should have been delayed for whatever Nintendo console comes next. GameFreak just makes **** without caring about performance at all, better hardware will never fix that.

@JeffGrubb This is both amazing and depressing. Tells me that Nintendo can get away with murder in performance and graphics and people will still buy their games. Oh well. I will hold off till/if they fix the performance

@Thefrogthem I read the whole article and that's just what Nintendo support is saying. However nobody has been able to get in contact with game freak or Pokemon company about the problem. I'm pretty sure cause the pr team is trying to figure out how to salvage it

either way I do hope with the game’s issues being infamous as they are Nintendo at least talks to GF & TPCi about the release schedule

@Bisento1 @OnTheDownLoTho More players playing the game, experiencing issues, and posting/complaining about them will just drive GameFreak to patch the game sooner, not to mention that the rest of the Pokemon Company (Nintendo and Creatures) will probably demand that they do.

@Bisento1 @OnTheDownLoTho Especially Nintendo since they have been issuing refunds for the games due to the issues that need to be patched.

@Ricardo013Silva @ringsidenews_ Who cares? It actually looks fun. 2k22 looks like PS3 and the AI is dumb af and universe and the CAW career mode are broken. FF can look like super nintendo as long as it plays good.

The fact Nintendo and the Pokemon Company haven't made an official statement on Pokemon Scarlet/Violet's buggy state is very bruh Like, a simple we hear your concerns about the state of the game and are working to address these issues as quickly as possible would be nice.

@girlmaeda @julioclip_ @pokejungle By not fixing the glitches and problems currently in the game. Nintendo runs a huge risk of losing a lot of faith from their fans. Potentially causing harm to the brand which could spiral put of control.

You been doing for years trying to get that easy fix but, you still have to make fun and new IP's. You never heard the term "Money doesn't buy happiness". Sony and nintendo buy companies as well but in a effort to boost yet improve overall things going in favor of there vision.

It’s fascinating ruminating (and watching) the debate about @Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s “issues” with graphics, frame rate etc. My main train of thought is why a company 50% owned by @NintendoAmerica doesn’t seem to have access or want to use the full resources available?

I wonder how many people got console/perma banned from the switch with Nintendo bad online service. Just curious overall considering how many disconnections can happen in a single game with the servers they're running.

@Jorraptor Yup, and it's a kids game that's totally broken @nintendo will laugh all the way to the bank on this.

@nickjcal Microsoft may have blundered in comparing Sony to Nintendo in on-record commentary about how Sony has enough to weather loss of COD. It gave Sony ammo to say "We are not Nintendo. We compete directly with you in this space. And if you want us to be a Nintendo, that's a problem."

@Waddlejpg @rodrigo_loiola @NintendoCoLtd Actually Nintendo are aware of the issues, allowing refunds and hopefully the game will get patched. No need to be so negative

It used to be - graphics don't matter it's not important Now it's - frame rate, stability, resolution, performance, glitches, bugs, technical issues, don't matter it's still "fun" 🤦🙄 If Nintendo put a **** in a box calls it Pokémon fans would eat it up! #PokemonScarletViolet
