@thetruebowser Mr Bowser, with all due respect I think Nintendo needs to take more control over Pokémon because the quality control does not meet Nintendo standards. There are some serious issues here either management at The Pokémon Company and nobody seems to care because all they see is $$.

Fun #Splatoon3 fact, "A communication error has occurred" is Nintendo's fancy way of saying "We're banning you for being AFK Haha get rekt L bozo"

So tired of hearing people say there are performance issues with Switch..... Only problem is joycons and gyro trouble the games perform just fine. I never had slowdown issues with none of the first party Nintendo titles and third party games look breath taking on Switch ports.

The Wii U turns 10 today. It was very neat and despite a lot of problems it probably deserved better support than it got. I feel like there was a lot of untapped potential in asymmetric multiplayer that games like Nintendo Land showed off well.

So is Nintendo going to patch the performance issues or just release more merch I’m thinking more merch

@NintendoAmerica Game is playable and really fun but the graphics and the performance issues/clipping really take you out of the experience would like a fix ASAP! At least there’s not any bugs or anything making it unplayable it’s just visually is where it has problems but fix yo damn game

@Lewchube Nintendo/TPC has to intervene and tell GF to slow themselves down, because I think there are clear problems within GF that need fixing on the technical side of things.

@AnriPierrot @MiiyaUwU_EN Yep I've said this very thing for years now. "Its Nintendo" and "its a pokemon game" funnily enough mean jts earned a higher standard being as big as they both are And as I said a few months back, it could ship a broken mess & people still won't care Lo and behold.....

@Indulgent_Pooch these are things im hearing about with the game. Performance and texture moving/glitches. I've even seen one where your character just sits and floats in midair, riding no Pokemon. Wonder how long itll take Nintendo to fix all this? Also, jealous. I don't have the game yet

@thetruebowser Mr Bowser, w/ all due respect I think Nintendo needs to take more control over Pokémon b/c the quality control does not meet Nintendo standards. There are serious issues with management at TPC & nobody seems to care b/c all they see is $$. Pokémon deserves better.

@Brian_Sabre @PokeManiac_Pl @gahyuniverse I know granted we will have patches to address a lot of the issues but yeah this is not a great start. This and the problems with like Splatoon 3 where the servers take a **** in matchmaking makes me want to say I'm done with Nintendo and won't be jumping to the next new console.

My main problem has been fighting with my controller to not move my character/cursor down but that's a hardware thing...Nintendo. As for the actual game, those few minutes before you're able to run are a g o n i z i n g

@killl_chris @HashishClay @LadyLunanova Problem is that Gamefreak has to split funds between the Pokémon company, Nintendo, and the studio itself. Plus, the games are rushed because of merchandise 💀💀 If they could just get some more time in between each game maybe the graphics could look better.

@IGN For those blaming the Switch, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is way more intensive and it runs quite well. Yes we need new Switch hardware but this game is poorly optimized and that is a GameFreak issue. They should have done better or asked Nintendo for assistance if it was needed.

@RaeMieA @Nebrok_18 @BeatemupsWood Yeah the only switch I have is the OLED, and it’s fine. No issues, actually the only game I’ve ever had issues with was a farming game that came out a month or two ago. I actually reported it to Nintendo and got a refund. I gave them bug reports/etc. But honestly the gameisgood.

What happens if the Gyro controls stop working in the Nintendo Switch and even if Nintendo repair can't. Fix it?
