The whole thing with Nintendo being like *we're reducing the frequency of tricolor battles for the next splatfest* is so wierd to me because my problem was i wasn't getting enough of them. I thought picking to do them would only give you them, why would i want less.

@NintendoAmerica please fix #Splatoon3. The input delayed is horrendous

Graze!

@im_flc ...and think that we should voice these concerns to Nintendo instead of throwing it under the rug for the sake of community growth. But I admit something like that can easily split the community, and it shouldn't be done if the problem isn't really, truly major. (2/2)

I love the vibe, characters, you name it! I want to play more but I’ve decided to not touch it again until it’s at least stable enough to not crash once an hour on my Nintendo switch.

One point I will make about the whole conversation about Nintendo, TPC and their stance on Nuzlockes is that them having no issues working with fans who do Nuzlockes does not contradict them being very harsh to employees who suggest doing one on thier official youtube channel.

@NintendoAmerica still having comm errors in Splat 3 after latest patch. Playing on a wired gigabit fiber connection. Can you please, please get this fixed. I’m tired of getting docked points because someone else’s connection crashes a lobby.

@GJ_Doggy @JustinLSmitty @BlackBruc3WaynE That's a problem with Xbox itself in Japan. It has nothing to do with Sony or Nintendo.

Dear @gameloft - Team, today i bought Disney Dreamlight Valley via Nintendo Eshop and transfered my account from Xbox (gamepass) to my Nintendo Switch (cloud game) and now all my moonstones are gone. Is there any solution for this problem yet?

Been having connection issues in Splatoon 3 due to my crappy ISP, can’t even finish some matches without being booted. Purchased a Nintendo Switch Ethernet Adapter online, should be coming in sometime this week with the latest being next week.

Splatoon 3 lag is actually so much worse than Splatoon 2 it’s crazy. I just ranked down two ranks because the whole enemy team had the worst internet known to man that would allow them to kill me FIVE SECONDS after I killed them. Wth is your online Nintendo? #Splatoon3

Loving the Splatoon servers today. 3 "communication errors" when my siblings, in the same room with the same network environment, haven't had any. Fix your game Nintendo, I just wanna play.

@JoeMerrick Sounds to me this is a communication issue or misunderstanding by whoever was Kit and Kay’s (if I am getting their names right) manager(s) OR this was on Nintendo and not TPCi.

@mellofello___ @KrakenMare77 @SplatCue No, nintendo. They don't care about someone complaining for them to fix everything within literally two weeks, especially because the game isn't even a month old and things like these are absolutely normal for such a "young" game.
