@cultofthelamb late game is unplayable on the Nintendo Switch. 10-15 fps everywhere I go and input lag is not helping either

@LifeIsStrange @Nintendo Sooooo was actual QA testing does with these versions of the games... or can we expect the same issues that plagued PC, Xbox and PlayStation players earlier this year?

@Tanookris I wasn't implying this is more a Aston Carter problem than a Nintendo one, they are equally at fault here.

@AndroidSophia @NintendoAmerica That one seems more like a problem with the hiring agency, but still, who the hell even has a "no touching policy" for couples???

@EucerinOfficial Nintendo doesn't even want to add their oldest games to the service, fat chance we'll ever see their premium Switch games on there.

@TheBY2K @NintendoAmerica A problem with the hiring agency is also a problem with @NintendoAmerica. They need to know who they're hiring and ensure they're up to acceptable standards of workplace professionalism. Your contractors represent you, and thus they need to represent your values as a company.

@InAndOutOfPhase @Wario64 If they develop drift, you would be able to ship them out to Nintendo for them to fix them free of cost. Nintendo has a webpage online with more info if you ever need it

@NintendoSphere @Wario64 I mean regardless if this is a problem outside of just the Nintendo scope, taking down a video uploaded to YouTube to create demand for selling the same thing is lame. Limited releases for digital goods are whack Not like the company is short on money these days either

@CaseyExplosion For some reason, not surprised. Oh; disappointed, disgusted, and angry- sure. But something about Nintendo's corporate structure that often has it lag behind other companies in terms of modern features... Just felt like it was only a matter of time before they got outed for this.

@TriforceZard @Kotaku I've read the article and it seems like the problem was someone shitposting in the group chat about Vaporeon and Paimon, with the test being mainly about Aerotek which is a hiring firm working with Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica No ghost data I bet... Seriously Nintendo why can't you figure Memory Pak emulation out? You could probably hire a guy for cheap to solve this issue for you! You've been working on N64 "virtual console" since the Wii was in planning in 2005, (if not much earlier) get it together!

@Kotaku Nintendo doesn't seem to make a lot of changes regarding contractors, like pretty much every company. It's cheaper and they ignore problems related to contractors, because the contractor company has to take care of them or escalate the problems to Nintendo.

@nb5062152 @B1lacklightning yeah actually. Sony and Xbox both do exactly that, and Sony is doing it for ten dollars more than Nintendo. i don’t think it would be difficult to put five year old games on a subscription service that people universally disliked when it launched

@twilightocarina @rodas_teran @Kotaku One employee from one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world? Most of her problems are with her contractor firm, not Nintendo itself

(@realunlyrical) reported
I recently started up my gamefly subscription again (video game rental service) pretty much because of Nintendo games rarely going down on price. 1st game, Mario 3D world/Bowser’s Fury. 3D world isn’t bad but BF is phenomenal. They should’ve just sold it by itself for $20.

@EucerinOfficial I suggest thinking about how much Nintendo still sells these games for and how they'll never give these away for free on a sub service.

@FactSoldier @Kotaku Fact: The article described employees of Nintendo of America doing the same thing. In addition, despite its problems, Nintendo continues to employ Aerotek. Further fact: You ignored my first comment regarding this not being the only case. Please read the article.

@cultofthelamb Is anyone else having the issue where black fog is blocking them from leaving the game? I’m playing on my Nintendo switch

In regards to the article it really sucks. Nintendo seems to have a real bad contractor problem where they are treated as second class citizens in most regards first there was that other stuff earlier this year than this.

Also can we please not deflect this because it doesn't apply to Nintendo's Japanese Headquarters? That doesn't mean it's not an issue and if your first thought is to mention that, there's a serious problem.

A **** online service, 6f native input delay, and the buffer system are issues I consider more important than Steve. But unlike banning Steve, there is nothing we can do about these issues, and Nintendo won't either. Ultimate has fundamental flaws that can't be changed.

@TwoPointStudios Anybody had the update for the Nintendo switch digital version of Campus today the 16th August and is giving error message and closing the software even after redownloading and unplayable lost all my saves had to start a new game

@twilightocarina @rodas_teran @Kotaku I don't understand, a single employee from one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world? Seemingly all but one of her problems are with the contracting firm, not Nintendo itself Am I missing something
-

(@MarieMoments_) reported
While some of this is still contractors (which is already a problem), there are some clear systemic issues here that go all the way up to management, and the fact that Nintendo refuses to respond also leaves me rather suspicious.

@GR4V3C0R3 yeah, problem here is that a lot of the nintendo fans here also gunned for activision, but they only did so because they hate activision already, so they just got to ride the hate train but now because it's their favorite company being attacked, they gotta defend nintendo

@cultofthelamb so the game glitches often (during combat) and also kicked me out once or twice after doing some actions. It froze after trying to release a prisoner. This is all on the Nintendo Switch. I believe in your ability to fix such bugs.

@boosk_i If Nintendo registered pro controllers as a wired connection with a cable this wouldn't be an issue but yea this seems to happen to everyone are smashcon. Happened to me years ago and that's when I switched lmao
