@AboutNintendo I'm just done with most Nintendo YouTubers. They are the most entitled, impatient, ignorant, out-of-touch fanboys on the planet. They don't seem to realise just how good this year's been, not just for the Switch, yet they'll ***** and moan about a problem that doesn't even exist.

@JeremyPenter Square Enix releases a lot of games on Nintendo Switch, some of them even exclusive. Which means it's more an “Xbox audience” problem than anything else.

@Anxsighetyy @xoaiyashiro Nintendo fans' inability to broaden their horizons and Nintendo's inability to make decently powerful hardware anymore are entirely separate issues.

@NintendoAmerica Please, I beg you. PLEASE fix your servers! I’m trying to play Splatoon 3 and it kicks me off every three or four games and now I’m banned from playing for six minutes. I know it’s not an hour, but six minutes adds up when it’s happening frequently. Fix it!

@CheapAzzGamer @smittytibbs @DestinLegarie The game launched at a full (increased)price of $70 while being a crossgen game with MTX. It better go on a sale I agree about Nintendo games never dropping in price though, I have my issues with Nintendo as well. Still they're not raising the console price despite earning less

@Lylatroid @NintendoAmerica Disney aren't gonna offer their games for a 3rd party subscription service like that, they'd rather rerelease themselves for a premium for massive profit.

@ProChara I'm playing on 1.1.1 now and I'm STILL getting stupid communication errors despite a great connection. I want to love this game but Nintendo is making it extremely difficult... It's just so hard to get invested when the flow is constantly broken by [COMMUNICATION ERROR HAS OCCU-]

@NintendoAmerica rant: my splatoon 3 crashed during the final secret level in alterna after spending hours getting to the final arena fight. i submitted a crash report but what I'd really like is for my power eggs to be resubmitted back to me 1/2

@NintendoAmerica Please fix the communication problems in #Splatoon3. I'm tired of losing all my rank and earnings over this 🙃

@PrinceHyrule1 maybe it’s just me lol, but i don’t see an issue in just assuming it is. plus, knowing nintendo, they’d prob make references to it regardless of canonicity, so being canon doesn’t have to be the be all end all! the content still exists for you to enjoy, right? 👍

Crash
(@Crash49676428) reported
@CrashGamer0 @Canadianguyehh Totally agree have crash bandicoot, spyro the dragon and call of duty on playstation, Nintendo, xbox and pc for life time and have all the games to be physical copy and digital then it's a win win scenario there shouldn't be any arguments.

@AboutNintendo Younger generations will never comprehend that there was time when the only video game news you got was in next month's issue of Nintendo Power magazine and that was IF any new information made it into the issue at all.

If this is becoming a problem like the article says it might be, do what Nintendo did. Make them taste horrible so the natural reaction is to spit them out.

@Nate_The_Autist Look up the video game crash of 1983. Extremely simplified version: games stopped selling in the US, stores decided the fad was over and stopped carrying them, and then Nintendo basically revived the market with the NES.

@NintendoAmerica you got to figure out Salmon Run it's broken. If this keeps up you're going to run away all of your veteran players. #salmonrun #Splatoon3

@steftravels No problem. Be very careful if you ever do decide to use it! I believe nintendo was up to no good with the SNES design.🫣

Me having a super low latency PC setup has kind of really make me notice the nintendo switch's inpud lag. It feels like it's at least like a fifth of my reaction time, (which would be around 200ms), so like, 40ms input lag? Doesn't seem like much but I sure as heck can feel it.

@iniOr @XboxGamePassPC Netflix was the only stable streaming service around and their prices remained consistent throughout. Your talking as if Microsoft holds a dominant position over Sony/Nintendo. Parents, ha, if only.
