@MrSnappyeagle As if, no way Crash 5 is PS4 exclusive when Crash 4 was on Xbox, PS and Nintendo

@MojangSupport @Russ__ell I hate to ask this but will there ever be a auto save disabled it constantly makes the Nintendo switch version lag so bad that it's pretty much unplayable?

@xBlackreedx @jacobpro_ That could be the problem, but I would still develop it and market it and such. People right now are begging Nintendo for another console, and I would love a switch 2 or switch pro. It needs it so bad. Nintendo though is usually very cheap in their consoles so I guess I can dream

@sapphirefeesh @CrazyBats432 I know right?! Let them be at this point. The only problem I have with this is the impersonation on already famous accounts (like the Nintendo US fiasco) and the fact that it’s hard to tell the celebrities and the buying users. Hopefully I’ll get used to it though.

Look, I don't mind losing. But there is no way in hell you already have your special gage maxed when we've barely been in the match for 2 seconds. Nintendo gets mad when we say naughty words, but won't fix the exploits and combat imbalance in #Splatoon3.

Good thing with these verify issues that no one try imitating the JP PR accounts of different game companies from Atlus, Sega, Bamco, Capcom, Nintendo JP & SQ EX.

i’m going to intentionally miss the entire splatfest out of pure spite about the fact that i got banned twice for nintendo’s ****** online service

If It's Not Fun
(@ifitsnotfun1) reported
I think Nintendo just needed something new to differentiate from Splatoon 2 and Tri Color matches seems cool, but it has some issues. I think it can still work but I think they need to patch it.

@TylerMcGuirk_ what are the first two issues exactly? Reporting stuff to nintendo thru customer support has actually worked in the past so might be worth a shot

Dear @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA tri-colors turf wars suck and are still unbalanced and non fun. If you’re not going to fix it after 3 splatfests maybe then you should get rid of it.

That I actually drop frames that little when I connect/lag initially to the lobby or after someone DCs and I am on LAN... Nintendo, this isn't good enough. Fix this. #Splatoon3

Quick question, to those who stream with a Nintendo switch, what capture card do you use? the one I've recently received is lagging really bad 😭

Either my Internet is being **** or the servers on Nintendo's end are having a rough damn time. I've had them crash about 2-3 times in a row and got timelocked from playing multiplayer each time. ******* hell man

@SplatoonJP Do you know how stuck there is on the Internet? The connection is often disconnected. When can a network issue be resolved? And double experience will disappear after each connection disconnection. If it is not improved, it will be Nintendo's garbageiest game.

@BulbaWhat98 @YTBeny If Scarlet and Violet is like that on its final build as some are apparently saying, then it's yet another case of Nintendo and TPC higher ups not giving enough time to polish and optimise. I'm still pretty hyped for it but if the FR is like that then it's gonna be a problem.

@NintendoAmerica Dear Nintendo, please fix Splatoon 3. I’m playing this game today for the first time in a couple of weeks because of the Splatfest and nothing has changed still constantly being hit with: A communication error has occurred messages

@TheMacroShow Apex Legends is getting harder to play as the days go by and Respawn continually ignoring the ongoing issues in the game. FromSoft is overrated Microsoft wouldnt be **** today without Game Pass Most if not of all of Sony's future multiplayer offerings will fail Nintendo sucks

@DiegoEs2002 It still feels weird to me why Nintendo should push for that when for example they had no problem delaying Animal Crossing to avoid crunch etc and generally let developers (like for example Monolith) do their own thing. Why should Pokemon be the one exception to that?
