@DingDongVG I heard that it's because it now relies on peer to peer connection and Nintendo did put a "fix" on it on their website, but they basically suggest to port forward your Switch to make internet connections run better and I don't feel comfortable doing that.

@NintendoAmerica fix your Splatoon garbage. Constant disconnects from the internet, right joycons always disconnecting in online on THIS GAME ONLY. Makes it very difficult to play Splatoon 3 at all!!

@octoturt @theduckthatdraw @SplatoonNA I play many other online games that require internet with little to no lag, but once it’s an online Nintendo game, it’s constant disconnects

@KrisSplatoon Twitter -'Yea we're all inclusive! We love that Shiver is non-binary. It's confirmed because she was referred to as They!' Nintendo - 'Shiver isn't non-binary, that was simply a translation error' Twitter -'Shiver is non-binary because we say so! Why would you 180 so fast?!'

@WOOLLEY_GAMER Boo hoo, Nintendo doesn't have an issue, only Sony does because their first party is hot trash

@DingDongVG People keep letting Nintendo get away with nonfunctional online. It's our fault for continuing to buy broken products.

@fabregaspastore @xMBGx @Shawn42209805 Selling hardware does not remove the fact that they would gladly put game pass on playstation to increase its service user base In fact u r literally giving an example of why they would continue to sell their own hardware on top of pushing gamepass on Sony or Nintendo if allowed

My feeling that nintendo forced monolith to push xeno 3 keeps getting reinforced, I just lost 1 hour worth of progress due to a crash, I don't think I've ever seen this many crashes on my switch, wtf happened...

@inkopolis I haven't really had many disconnects mid-game (Europe region) but I've had trouble getting into ranked matches. It's pretty **** that they make you pay for an online service like this. It's not even that you play on Nintendo servers, all those do is matchmake, games are P2P.

If I had a nickel for every time I got a connection error in #Splatoon3 I'd be able to buy #Nintendo some better servers.

still stand by my point that nintendo should take away the penalties until they fix their servers, its still much worse than splatoon 2

@Nayib_Cardenas @PlayStation Everyone pays for exclusives on all sides. Nintendo built an empire around it. I'd say it's a non issue at this point. I know we can't all afford multiple systems. But its the price we pay if we want certain games.

@bakuudekuu @masterdragon421 @NintendoAmerica so you see it, But you still think that Nintendo can't do a better job than that? Are you kidding me? They should fix that, That is just completely ridiculous, There is an improvement that they can make and you would still like link, and guys would think its more impressive too

@DingDongVG It feels like in the past, Splatoon has been the Nintendo game to work the best online. It’s too bad the connection issues are a thing now. Would expect that to be a Wii U thing

@The__Goomba Yet Nintendo look after fans by allowing NES games to be played via NSO on the superior switch. As if they would allow Gamecube games to be added to the service, the hardware isn't advanced enough. "Enjoy goldeneye in 14 months peasants and be greatful" Miyamoto 2022

@DingDongVG to be fair, splatoon 2 had a lot of rough issues early on too...but this feels a lot more frequent than splatoon 2 at its start as well at the very least they're making active attempts to make it functionable, but knowing nintendo's track record with online it might be a while

@Flamingoodness1 They're a Japanese company yet their main market is in the west, which probably rubs them the wrong way. Nintendo doesn't have that issue. I once saw a video were someone was interviewing people off the street in japan and most knew Mario but few knew Sonic.

Contrary to what Xbox fanboys think, Nintendo and Playstation players don't want to see them buy up the entire gaming industry. I think that continuing to say "you would be happy if Playstation bought ______" misses the issue with industry consolidation in general.

@Deceased_spl In would’ve been pissed if I was on the winning team and it froze like that they need to fix their servers cause Nintendo is allergic to competitive games

@NintendoAmerica Please fix Splatoon 3's online. Matchmaking takes forever and is awful, enemies aren't splatting after tons of shots hit them, I keep dying without seeing what hit me. #FixSplatoon #Splatoon3 #Splatoon
