@Nintendo please fix the splatfest matchmaking.

@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.

@pathcwier so apparently the switch joycon thing is a common issue (i had it too) and supposedly if you mail the joycon to nintendo they will fix/replace for you for free

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

Nintendo actually needs to fix its servers cause it’s ridiculous. I either disconnect or my whole team does.

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

@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

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

God, Nintendo actually learned nothing from Splatoon 2's servers. This is like, actual garbage. Parties disband every map change. Unable to unqueue. Parties disband if there's a communication error, yet still you can get banned if the server ***** up and decides to kick you.

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.

@NintendoAmerica Can I please play a single tricolor match at LEAST. I haven’t gotten not one. Please fix this…

Nintendo’s fix for tri color battles being fairly one-sided was to make them occur less even when you choose to queue for a tri color battle. Personally I think it’s stupid just let us play the mode we signed up for, find another way to fix tri color battles

@NintendoAmerica fix the tricolor rates please i havent gotten a single tri color match

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???

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.

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

@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

@Devyyashi Splatoon 3 servers suck *** as of right now. I'm praying to god Nintendo will fix this issue as time progresses. This is just unacceptable dear bestie 😑😔

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.....

@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

I may do one more full rotation tomorrow before the fest ends, But morale is just scratched at this point that I just want my shells and keep it pushing... Nintendo gotta fix this ****... real talk

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

@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

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

@mammaImania [Fortunately for them, Nintendo I mean Splatsville's servers Suck ***. The terminal makes some kind of error noise-- having trouble finding a connection, apparently. Eight, of course, is too busy holding Laena close to notice something is amiss.]
