this game is literally just comm errors LOL holy **** nintendo. Although to their credit they at least have the brains to make stuff like bowling player sided rather than host sided unlike Mario Golf so those are completely lagless

Hey @NintendoAmerica, I’m playing your #NintendoSwitchSports beta test right now and I want to point out some problems. Your bowling scoring for the “last man standing” is wrong. I had 85 in my 6th frame (with strike) and lost to someone with 93 with an open. My score is better.

After 10 "server error" messages in a row, I stopped trying to play #NintendoSwitchSports Nintendo clearly wasn't ready for the server load, it's unplayable tonight.

@SuperAdam64_ @IntroSpecktive Switch Online itself is a p2p service which again for the quality should be FREE this company makes enough money previous generation had free p2p until nintendo servers actually work whats the point in even buying them besides the fact they lock game features in a pay wall

Crunchyroll on Nintendo Switch is pretty neat! Makes me wish that Netflix and Disney+, only one problem: I gotta cough up money just to even use either of those services... :/

Attempting to start the Online Play Test for Nintendo Switch Sports. I got a communication error while changing my settings, and haven't been able to get past the opponent-search screen. The servers seem to be getting slammed and/or they VASTLY underestimated the player count.

This sucks! I am trying the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test and for some reason, I am not connecting that good, which makes absolutely NO F**KING SENSE! However, I will try again at some other points, so hopefully I'm able to play soon without any problems

@stoleyourwatch @LamarrWilson @XboxGamePass True but the reason family plan is on Nintendo online is because it’s pretty cheap and the service isn’t all that yet.

Played a few minutes of Nintendo Switch Sports during the Friday night test. It was fun and worked well for me. People who are having issues and are angry realize that is the entire point of this, right?

I went to try out the Nintendo Switch Sports play test. Not only did I get constant communication errors because of my crappy internet, but you can't even choose what sport you play. You're at the mercy of random. What an awful way to do do a demo.

@IntroSpecktive It’s pretty obvious Nintendo is shutting down the Virtual Consoles to drive sales of their Online subscription service. If paying a privatized tax of $10/month is the only way to play old Nintendo games then a lot of people will. And Nintendo knows it.

What ******** is wrong with Nintendo? Why would they not only try and force an online subscription service on us, but ALSO make an expansion pack for it?? Why should I have to buy it in order to play classic ******* Sonic bro!!

@CovfefeChan while i agree that nintendo almost always sucks with online, we cant judge the entire game off of a playtest, i mean the whole reason of a playtest is to fix bugs

This is a really cool playtest for Nintendo Switch Sports! Maybe when the game comes out I'll get a communication error in the middle of a match instead of before it starts. Love Switch online <3

I tried the online play test for Nintendo Switch Sports and all I got were communication errors (I didn't even get to play the actual game) Don't know if it's cuz my wifi is bad or what but it sucks
