  Thinking further though, Big Runs would give Nintendo the chance to tweak and improve Splatfests (given the first Splatfest had loads of issues and the tricolors happened quite frequently and the second Splatfest had less tricolors at the expense of keeping things fair.

  @JWilley1980 @NintendoAmerica Oh yeah, same here. Apparently people are claiming they've submitted reports to Big B and they claim there's a patch on the way... The reason for issues is allegedly the scripts for AE are running too fast and the game can't load them.

  @MarczixS @Nibellion I think that's where the issue lies, Nintendo isn't really "allowing" Steam to run Switch games but through the Yuzu program you technically could. I personally dislike the idea of emulating current gen console games since you can still get them legally and support the industry

  @hitsukuya Silly silly, if it needed NOS you wouldn’t even be able to play it by yourself! The game uses EOS (Epic Online Service) to avoid users from paying subscription to Sony, Xbox and Nintendo. Go to the game next time and press both analog stick, you’ll see Epic’s friend interface

  @digrett @NintendoAmerica This “upgrade” pretty much ruins the game. I’m lucky to have a physical release so I reloaded vanilla with the update (have had no issues with update only). However I must note I completely deleted ALL saved data and game for a fresh install.

  @markwhi72845230 @PinguimTarado @PostUp_bbb The only way to fight is strategic buying because Sony nor Nintendo can’t win a money battle. Sony knows what it needs the most, FPS and live service games. Bungie is one of the top fps developers and will help bring life into Sony shooters. Ms can’t compete so they will pay2win.

  @amfam123 @AllExWWE73 @NintendoAmerica The point is that there is no problem with accessibility of it being on other devices.

  @Tails_External @kaiiteaa Yes it is. But nintendo games are more family oriented and there's no big story to make the lack of growt seem like a problem, plus the characters don't even speak. But sega tried several times to give Sonic something serious and tragic like in forces or 06 >

  @massivetitty and i doubt nintendo would fix this mistake in future occasions

  @thechito20 @NintendoAmerica Fix-It Felix is a parody of Mario. The game “Wreck-It Ralph” is like the same concept as Donkey Kong

  CS PRO (@CS_Uravity_PRO) reported 40 minutes ago

  @thePSXGirl @Nibellion Nah there's no legal obligations for Valve to not do that because the emulators themselves are legal. They're not stupid to do something that'd put them in legal trouble. All Nintendo can do as cope and seethe lol

  @MEGANTE If I remember correctly, you could send it to Nintendo to fix it?

  Nintendo purposely makes it harder for anything to happen on the console itself. They’re support line is extremely helpful, I’ve gotten so many issues resolved just by calling. Thank you nintendo support for allowing refunds. they need to change the way pre ordering works here.

  JW1980 (@JWilley1980) reported 47 minutes ago

  @PanqueConNueces @NintendoAmerica There’s an upgrade for 19.99…but I like other who already bought it say wait. The DLC literally breaks the game. Frame rate drops to 15fps in many areas and the awaited survival mode crashes the system if you get to freezing status. Definitely wait for a fix.

  @FalKoopa_ My only problem is that it looks exactly like what Illumination would of made Mario but I really thought Nintendo would of forced them to use the exact same model from Odyssey or something. I’m sure it will grow on me.

  It’s not too late to Bully Nintendo/illumination into fixing this Mario issue. It worked for Sonic after the first trailer and it can work here too!

  Based on comparing button press to action, the input lag in Nier: Automata on Nintendo Switch is 00:00.4 seconds. 400 MILLISECONDS OF INPUT LAG! @SquareEnix get Virtuos to fix this!

  @The_Musho @NintendoAmerica Actually like others have said it makes it even worse. Best to wait. I reinstalled mine back just to fix it.

  @Ballyman91 This is easily my favorite thing about the Nintendo Switch Online game service. Many of the games on it are ones I’ve genuinely wanted to play, but never wanted to spend the money on. Now I can boot it up, try it for five minutes, and never play it again without feeling bad.
