  @S_Nelkin I still don't really understand. If the Yakuza have connections with Sega, shouldn't there be NO Sega games on Nintendo consoles at all? It makes no sense that this ONE series is an issue.

  @brxndybrxndy @NintendoAmerica I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I even experienced it on the demo as well. I hope they send out a patch to fix this issue soon since the first Splatfest is coming up pretty quick on September 23rd.

  @xbunnymilkiex Yeah that's the big problem with it, but I can't be surprised either because it's Nintendo, every rerelease always has to be full price 🙃 and no online multiplayer either from what I'm seeing...

  @Nibellion @smudgetwo Guess it helps that Nintendo is making Bayonetta 3 affiliated with themselves to save Sega the trouble

  So annoying, scoring a clam obviously at a good time when the basket hasn't closed doesn't matter apparently. Nintendo needs to fix this netcoding or whatever it is.

  @CerealBowlby honestly none of Nintendo's online services over the years were good, but the Switch one takes the cake because this time you get to PAY for the lag.

  @LoudToon99 @Destructo_Dan ... and even DK in particular is a better selling and more iconic series than a lot of other Nintendo series (FE, Xenoblade, Kirby, etc) and just suffers a management problem as Nitnendo can't or simply refuses to assign the IP to a team that'll give it consistent output

  @I_DO_JUEGOS @mndjr8 @yakotrick Just because nintendo games aren't full of blood, guts and boobs, doesn't mean they are aimed at kids lol Nintendo has no age, and if you think it does, that's a you problem.

  BlackSageD Sony & Steam Censors Japanese Games! (@Black_D_Gamer1) reported 33 minutes ago

  @NepsKnight @GeekOfFighter93 My issue is, why aren't they also available for the Nintendo Switch. The "i have a PC for those games" excuse, is not a good one, when you can easily have all your gaming needs on ONE platform, if the Switch was a bit more powerful & people actually bought 3rd party games on it.

  nintendo fans stop calling me slurs because you refuse to accept your favorite dev has issues with online functionality challenge [impossible] there’s one complete loser in particular who keeps jumping into ppl’s mentions to tell them i’m dumb and wrong lmfao

  @PlayerEssence I really do not buy this BS about RGG studio is hesitant to bring over Yakuza series when Nintendo already has stated that the company as a publisher is not interested in Yakuza series because of mafia issues in Japan.

  @xpatriciah Back in the splatfest premiere, yes. Nintendo said if the timer goes past 180 seconds to put your Switch to sleep to force the disconnect. It's supposed to time you out after 3 minutes I guess

  Sony : we have no systems, but here’s another controller! Also we have a rewards program that’s gonna be fancy NFTs. Nintendo : here’s another new system, but we haven’t fixed drift or added themes. Also more stuff that is only half assed on the overpriced service.

  Robins (@96_Robins) reported 47 minutes ago

  @ProChara At this point I don't think making improvements to the online service is something Nintendo is interested in or possible even capable of.

  @XinguIarity i doubt they'd want to dump backwards compatibility just like that and most of the hardware issues that made previous cross-gen releases... awkward, to say the least probably won't be a factor (but with nintendo, you never know)

  I love that Nintendo actually has the audacity to charge for their online service when it keeps doing this...

  man what ******** i ****** kept getting disconnected from splatoon bc of the ****** nintendo online stuff thats been going on for it (ive never had problems on other games) and now im ******* banned from online matches for 5 minutes

  @itsyaboi_lehoe You have to consider how much effort the team did to make AOC feel like it’s a part of BOTW. Continuity errors are relatively minimum and we see efforts in DLC to correct those mistakes. This tells me that Nintendo and the BOTW team intended this game to be canonical.

  @boatsalad Yeah. I've been banned 3 times today for 40 minutes each. There's 0 issue with my internet cause this does not happen on any other Nintendo switch multiplayer game. Only Splatoon 3. Getting really sick of it.
