@RafayNawaz Ugh yes. It depends. Last weekend was mostly fine, with communication errors every 7 matches or so. But earlier today, I could barely get into a single match. Just network error after network error. I’m pretty sure it’s Nintendo and not me.

@IGN I got better CS with Nintendo when I had an issue with a gift card.

you would think with how rich Nintendo is they would actually give a few extra dollars to make controllers that don't have severe issues/break every few months and you have to drop $70 dollars on another

@goodolgator Having said that I do dislike both Nintendo and Sony for not working harder to kill the scalping market

@NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 20 (21 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. Not holding my breath for the update tonight since I got my hopes up last time. Would be a nice surprise if you actually fixed it.

You know I was considering trying #NintendoSwitchOnline + expansion but realized they don't give a one month option to try it out?! @NintendoAmerica you messed this up, your base service is a rip off, no way I'm going to lock myself in for a year without being able to try it.

If I play enough GamePass games I could get my subscription for free or get gift cards or win a laptop. If I buy enough Nintendo games I can get discounts, even free dlcs & digital games. If I buy enough digital Playstation games then I can get slightly better customer service.

@XboxWire Well, it looks like no matter what four games Sony gives us every month, they pretty much "win" by default now. Unless Nintendo starts adding more classic games to their online service.

@WOOLLEY_GAMER The only part of it I really have an issue with is the requirement to purchase 4 digital games. They need to allow for adding physical game purchases like Nintendo does.

@jonathan_eff Segas problem was announcing neat stuff for peripherals that never sold like 5 units then canceling them. Nintendo's problem was promising peripherals that would get hyped in Nintendo Power, then just... never appear again. Between that and FF7, thats why I have Playstation now.

@MostlyBrockish @PaulTassi @Forbes For Nintendo I agree. But Xbox would never be able to release a handheld that would compete with their streaming service. Would be too far behind to catch up, that’s what I was meaning.

and oof 'While the few frame drops on PS4 Pro aren’t ideal, they are nowhere as annoying as the constant drops on Nintendo Switch. Hopefully future patches can address these performance issues.'

@ALLiN_indie @JonComms And the rest helped Nintendo in their projects (mainly BotW). If they had the staff and time back then, a lot of it's issues would have not existed. There are some things that will have stayed like how the starting chapters feel like an anime since the writer wanted that.

@dragon_fallsx @NintendoUK Good luck getting a reply. Selfish customer service, complete lack of care to their customers leading them on in the way that they are.. And when it’s all been and gone, and many people miss out, we won’t hear an apology from them for badly mishandling the situation.

@steamfan22 @Black_D_Gamer1 in the end Qureate still folded to pressure and the game’s release on Switch is kind of a question mark. That’s on them. But I don’t think any agency is making Nintendo do anything. It is possible they may be more skittish, but lewd games have come and gone since with no trouble.

I don’t understand why the Animal Crossing community seems so resistant towards modded content. Because it’s “not authentic”??? Nintendo failed y’all, let the community fix it.

@bearinbriefs Yeah, last night I had a series of communication errors, then ended with my teammate PFFTing right next to me before the match started. Switched to single player campaign the rest of the evening. So frustrating. Wish Nintendo could get their multiplayer act together
