@joshua_kreiser I’m not picking on one person. I keep seeing this sentiment that if Nintendo doesn’t make a specific thing for me then they must hate me or X year is bad for Nintendo or whatever, and I think that problem is 100% self-inflicted due to just not wanting to branch out.

@graymads Nintendo has this mindset that there still living in the 1980s/90s where piracy was a bigger problem. Yet they refuse to offer most of they’re older games beyond a couple of NES/SNES

@Shpeshal_Nick Switch is as much gen 9 as wii u was gen 8. There's no nintendo timeliness of gens. Not Sony or MSs problem nintendo decided to ditch the flop U and start console much earlier. We've had overlapping gens before Nintendos next system will be with the generation XSX and ps5 are

@FallGuysGame Hello, we are experiencing some issues with your game i downloaded on the Nintendo Switch. The problem is that whenever I try to join a game it says; Connection Error. Connection to the server timed out. Please check the settings and try again.

@SorcererLance It would all depend on what nintendo would allow through their system. For example, you can have actual external graphics systems for pcs and they work fine. The problem is that the USB c was never ment to handle that load. It was ment for charging at 5v and video output.

@NinaKnightshade @jackogien This is evidence readily available from Nintendo's reveals for deep cut though? The fact that you choose to be obtuse and literally refuse to search it out because it doesn't confirm your viewpoints isn't my issue tho

@antdude92 @NintendoAmerica I was going to make a joke about Nintendo not being willing to put a mic to talk with your friends in a paid service much less for a single 64 game, but I'm late to the party.

I hope Aerotek/Nintendo will clean house and fix this up. The workers deserve better. I'm not sure how much I want to dump on Twitter at this time but I do want to say I believe everyone in this article and I can verify that it was not the best work environment. 😞

@MarmaladeGames There has been no update for the Nintendo Switch, and the issue is still present. If you are playing on the Switch the game encounters an error and crashes every single time. This DLC was supposed to arrive June 22- so it has been almost 3 months and still can’t play on Switch

@ED_Gamess SUPER glad that Nintendo seems to be getting serious with this one, not that I don't love Splatoon 2 but that game definitely has its share of problems that hurt the online experience a lot. Granted 2 didn't have the longest dev time and some problems weren't so easy to fix

But yeah, Nintendo don’t care to make their service good now, they know people will buy it without doing that. The only time they do it is if it’s desperation. Nintendo did that Mario Kart 8 promotion during the Wii U for people to buy their games.

@Francesco2714 @adrianchm Nintendo sometimes does, in one case for decades. But Nintendo is Nintendo. There are two elements here, the financing - which is why the exception is Nintendo I suppose - and whether the new titles will make your stashed one look comparatively broken.

@cultofthelamb I'm waiting for a Nintendo Switch patch before buying the game. It would be awesome to have a patch to better balance the weapons and fix most of the obvious bugs. 60fps would be awesome, but I can live with 30fps if the game is solid to play there.

@Shuuni777 @Kotaku @NintendoAmerica You're right a lot of the blame is on Aerotek for handling things poorly, but some of the bad actors are noted as full time Nintendo employees working with aerotek. Which does make it worth asking "A few bad apples, or an issue that run deeper into NoA"? in my opinion.
