@JuiceMan_V @dark1x Because even reaching the support, Nintendo doesn’t mention any patching coming to solve the problems. Instead, they gave instructions and tutoriais to avoid the bugs, like restarting the switch, erasing the SD card, using fast travel often…

@gazzas89 @Aerialslayer @AwesomeAdamTV Exactly! Other companies **** up and make mistakes. But people kiss *** anyways to make them do more. Nintendo and Game Freak always has stress of them from people but every company has had fails and issues with games not running well.

Fish Person Shooter out now on Early Access🐟
(@TubaZef) reported
@dark1x I guess the game is fun enough that most people don`t care about the technical issue, not so different from Cyberpunk or anything by Bethesda. But sadly, unlike those, Nintendo doesn`t seem to care to patch stuff. Can just hope that the complains get to them.

@dark1x Best case scenario imo, is 2023 being a year of another Pokémon remake and by 2024 Nintendo finally launched better hardware, so this addresses at least some issues new hardware and longer development cycle, unlike Arceus into SV being just 8 months.

@LUPASAN2 Thats why nintendo fans are always gonna get trashy problematic games every so often. They dont conplain, they dont protest, they defend the game because they like the franchise. Broken unfinished games is what yall deserve. 10 million sales means more broken games in the future

like I don't know how to tell nintendo this but bringing more and more pokemon down to near useless status does not fix the balancing problem in these games too many pokemon are near useless, boost them dammit

@AceTrainerLiam What is the point of this tweet? Are you trying to say that people aren’t allowed to complain about the horrendously buggy and poorly optimized experience scarlet and violet are? There’s no excuse for a company with as many resources as Nintendo has to release a broken game

@RE_Thinkin Then we have a problem, cuz my uncle works on Nintendo, and he said that Super Mario 4 will release next year. Also I'm gonna be the CEO of Nintendo when he die

I am not going to blame the Nintendo game devs too tough because I hear it. When you’re working in a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” environment there’s only so much you can do. Until Nintendo fixes up and knows they can’t get away with badly run games, this will continue

/that playstyle. I ****** wish Nintendo could fix the maps, I think it is boring to be able to watch entire sections without being challenged, not to mention when both teams have liters and literally no progress can ever be made

@dark1x Nintendo will always think of Pokémon as a kids game first, so they’re just not going to care about tech issues.

Seems that even Nintendo is aware the game has issues and is giving out refunds. 🫢

@Doctor_Cupcakes I finished the game it’s one of my favorite Pokémon games imo but they need to do better with the optimization there’s no excuse between Pokémon Company and Nintendo that Game Freak should have this much trouble optimizing a game either give them more time or more assistance

@UbisoftSupport Is there any login issues with Just Dance on Nintendo Switch? Last evening I had a problem connecting to Ubisoft Connect. Every time I got an error. Support sent me an instructions about NAT and it didn't help.

@Frankenroc @videogamedeals @Music_Expresses I was thinking about getting one but I’m disappointed that Nintendo continues to wall off any multimedia features. Can’t play media off an sdcard, Hulu is the only streaming service on it. It’s a good gaming console but why not allow the other uses?

@PJiggles_ unless you're using wifi, this might just be someone lag switching (no nintendo can't fix that since games run p2p)

nintendo is literally playing the comfortable game with their ips because they've been at the top so long they no longer need the incentive to actually push boundaries, they can freely put out borderline broken products like pokémon or "finish" games with dlc and it'll sell.

@Jacob_C_Gorham And this is the only Nintendo game that has those problems? Huh. Interesting.

@3d_luxury @erockmath @IGN True, but the gaming world sees it. The only ones that are okay with the way Sony is acting are Sony Ponies that worship their plastic box and accept price hikes and poor customer service. The rest of us (PC, Nintendo, and Xbox) won't forget.

@NintendoUK All the issues all over the internet are they going to be fixed? Is a patch coming? For me Nintendo always ment quality well made games. Shocked to see the state this has been put out the door in

@XboxTheory @DestinLegarie Sony never bought SquareEnix,Capcom,Namco,Konami,Tecmo etc when it easily could back in the day. Let alone buying them up & putting all that content up for free in guise of a “Service” to put Nintendo & Sega out of business&options. First time in history FTC,CMA,EU getin involved

@TransRatPunk @JoeMerrick Xy was before patches were common in nintendo games and they still got updates to help with those issues if you looked. Swsh performance issues are almost exclusively when using the online which is a different thing entirely and the DLCs tried to make it better.

@JacksGameZone 3DS had hardware limitations so maybe that wasn't an easier fix. Maybe it could be fixed, but they would have to sacrifice something in return. GF certainly wasn't about to make it a New Nintendo 3DS exclusive. It runs better on the New models.

...but those Glitches/Tech Issues are impossible to ignore and I'm really hoping there's a Big Bug Update in the work and Nintendo, Pokemon Company, and Game Freak would stop rushing out Pokemon games like fast food, but with ScVi selling 10mil, It going to be hard to see that
