We wanted Nintendo to fix Tri Color, not make it non existent #Splatfest #Splatoon3

Communication error 3 times in a row...it's not me. You'd think Nintendo would have their servers figured out for this event...

@PownicMania5000 Iwata maybe sadly gone and Nintendo may have some problems in the Switch era, but the company still respects itself and its identity/integrity and especially Iwata's legacy given all the great things he did for them that forever changed the company.

Please, Nintendo, fix how frequently Tricolor Turf Wars pop up in the future. I've played for 5 hours now, and only got to play the mode TWICE where others haven't even gotten ONE.

@NishiOxnard @NintendoAmerica Brah, each game is like 3 minutes long. By the time you joined your friend in a middle of a game, it's practically over. There's more concerning problems to be fumed at. This ain't it.

I'm tempted to buy some N64 games on the Wii U before the e-shop shuts down for it next month but I'm thinking is it really worth it? I mean haters assume that when the online service ends for Nintendo Switch it means we'll lose the retro game collections as well. 1/2

@OomlesArt @Munchbox_art im on team grub, happened to me a few times too. ive played one tricolor so far and we lost :/ i hope nintendo fixes the core issue of the unfair matches for the defending team instead of just reducing tricolor rates for everyone

Honestly Nintendo shouldn't patch the glitch where you can climb onto the idol platforms. I don't see why they should, it doesn't change progression or affect other people's experiences, it's just a fun thing only people on the internet will know about.

@BlueCoati nintendo upped the odds that instead of getting tricolor youll get a regular turf war because of the complaints about tricolor. a rather hamfisted that doesnt “fix” anything

@The5thHorsemon @kidsmoove The real issue is gonna be when Nintendo switches to $70 big games, because they almost never have sales on their big titles. Folks are gonna get real mad

Honestly, I think Nintendo Switch Online Service haters are just overreacting when it comes to us keeping the retro game collections or not.

@Werewhisky Nintendo be cheap like that, unfortunately. Or they refuse to fix the problem for a long time like with the JoyCon drift issue that they FINALLY fixed with the release of the OLED Switch

Nintendo needs to fix its connection issues in Splatoon 3 because I KNOW it wasn’t this bad in splatoon 2.

I'm an idiot for even hoping Nintendo would fix their excrement servers to actually make Splatoon 3 a game without an absurd amount of input lag that requires people to forsee the future in order to actually play at a fair pace.

i REALLY like this game but jesus the way it handles disconnects/connection issues and punishes the players for them when 90% of the time the issues are on nintendo's side is absolutely asinine. i am back to literally rank 0 on salmon run solely because of connection issues LOL

So Splatoon3 sucks. It’s terrible. Dont release it if it’s not ready. Way too many comm errors & glitches. & special weapons are terrible. #splatoon #Splatoon2 #splatoon3 @NintendoAmerica

First splatfest has been interesting… Sooo many communication errors and the three team battle mode has been basically disabled by Nintendo already because it’s way too easy to rig the splatfests because whichever team is in the lead gets targeted

@totelliam @OrigiGreatness @NinjaChefTK Yeah, and I bet they would love to do that But Xbox and Nintendo keep them on their toes, they all compete Meanwhile Stadia is a forgotten service that doesn’t even work that good in my region while other gaming streaming services totally do

And fix the report system, Nintendo! You have done nothing to help us with getting at people that would ruin the game. We need a proper way of getting to report. I swear, you don't listen.....

Nintendo. You do realize making Tricolor less common doesn't change how both attacking teams get 5000 clout if one of them wins, right? And that defense only gets 3000 if they win, right? You do realize that you can't fix a brain tumor by sticking a bandage on it???
