Good job #Nintendo, you didn't fix the communication errors in #Splatoon3 with the new patch. The Communication errors are still there, and now I have the game occasionally crashing when searching games. All I got before this patch was just Communication Errors.

@DestinLegarie They will not survive. Those Activision games are selling like crazy on the platform. All that revenue will be gone, become one with he aether. Nintendo will be in big trouble.

@TheCraftOfGames Too fking bad, MS is dropping $70B and can do whatever the fk they want with the games, blame Sony for being a failure of a company who relies on COD Nintendo has no issue, Splatoon 3 came out and already sold 3 million copies Only Sony is crying because they can't innovate

@Spooky_Pooka Honestly in the entire time of playing I keep getting loads of DCs and comm errors, I've always just chalked it up to Nintendo Online being really bad cuz it also applied to other games as well, but I'm not sure

@rustamc24 @YrInfinityNerd @XxiKGixX I disagree with throwing so much $ for new Game IPs and it being enough for recognizability; look how Netflix struggles with this. It’s built on yrs, and even so it’s partially luck. Only one that *maybe* can get away with a sub service that the masses recognize in IP is Nintendo

I’m like 95% sure that the constant connection errors that occur during Splatoon 3 matchmaking are because Nintendo doesn’t give a way to cancel after you’ve queued in to MM, so people are shutting down the game…which causes an error for everybody else in that MM pool lmao

Doing rly well in a match of splatoon 3 and it randomly "a communication error has occurred" Please Nintendo actually fix your servers instead of saying to just open every port on a router.

@Gravity_SSB I wanna say this was something to do with my internet, cause I’ve been having some consistent communication errors even after the update rolled out. At the same time, this issue doesn’t seem exclusive to me, so who knows. Could be them stinky Nintendo servers.

@rfhn127 that's absolutely fine tbh!!! my issue is mostly with Nintendo bc im sure back then it was great™, but i feel like with it being on the switch, Nintendo should've just re- released the 3d version bc tbe n64 verison, with its controls doesn't exactly go with the switch big i +
