@JellyEnvy I really hope there's stuff to do after you beat the main story besides a terrible competitive scene. That was the problem with Splatoon 1 and 2. Come on Nintendo. But so far, Splatoon 3 looks exciting. I really hope it's different from the first 2.

@clover_nsfw I love it whenever I play it, but I don't play multiplayer games in general that often so I also don't play it much. Which sucks bc it's the only reason I got Nintendo's bullshit online service lol oops

My biggest thought about Splatoon 3 is that Nintendo has been really leaning into live service games for the Switch and they've done an excruciatingly poor job of it. But Nintendo is Nintendo and people love Nintendo games regardless. They have that odd effect on people.

@SilentBun @DanielLinton91 To be fair, at least Nintendo released good classic games for their online service. That said, I still don't get why they haven't released Mario RPG or even games like Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3 or Startropics 2 that were all on WiiU to begin with.

@MattThaGift @NintendoAmerica The problem here is that GameFreak is acting like they're breaching new ground when the Open World formula has been codified and mapped for 25 years now. GameFreak has the gamedev equivalent of Infinite Resources but insists on acting like a newbie indie studio.

@NextGenPlayer The Playstation 5 is so much better than Nintendo Switch. The only problem with the Nintendo and the Super Nintendo games came back out with the retro gaming is already damaging Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica I just don’t see the issue with no scaling. It’s their first attempt at making an open world game. Maybe they couldn’t figure out exactly how to make that work yet. Plus, the gyms always increased in level, so it makes sense if the gyms further in the map be tougher

@VGC_News As they should. Apple, Amazon, Nintendo, and all others had no problem with this but them.

@Chris94969228 @VGC_News Whoa, let me get this straight, (I’m not a console warrior btw, console wars are stupid), so you’re telling me you didn’t have a problem with Sony or Nintendo buying and locking down exclusives, but when Xbox does it, it’s a problem?

unironically most hype thing for me is when Nintendo announces some kind of broken companion peripheral that gives you bonuses in a new game if you figure out the arcane language of an app clearly made out of toothpicks and masking tape the morning before it launched

@DreamcastGuy I genuenly believe that, with how completely broken melee is, it doesn't pass Nintendo's modern QA or compliance

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica Please get in touch with the devs and have them address our concerns of scaling issues - I'd love to take on any gym in any order (seriously, the replayability would be insane!), but if they don't scale with you, what's the point?

@justsomeguy258 Because they were some of the first games to do this Nintendo live service and those games actually did it well. It's with other games like the Mario sports titles and Animal Crossing where people grown to hate it

@KirbyVolt If I recall- after the response to that, a few issues later they (jokingly) teased a cover game that sounded a lot Mother 3 and specifically stated "It's not Mother 3" and most people took that as meaning "it's definitely Mother 3". Us Nintendo fans never change.

@BestGirlAlex @SkyStarrying @NintendoAmerica Yeah but if it scales, you get the Elder Scrolls issue everyone hates. There’s no challenge. At all. Everyone is the same average level as you. Nothing is hard or easy. There’s nothing.

@AVartwork I feel Nintendo is slightly better as they at least knew to launch their classic games service with their heavy hitters. Meanwhile there's a lot still not a lot present in playstation's

@gwiz210 I think people are just nervous about getting locked into another subscription model. I love the idea of new content, but I'd want it to be good. Nintendo's online service comes to mind for lackluster offerings.

@TwoPointStudios I love the game but it's a bit hard to play on the Nintendo Switch. Constant frame drops and crashes make it frustrating. Also it would be cool if the game autosaved right after a new year starts. I lost all my in between years progress because of a crash :(

I'm having issues with Pokémon Shield's Battle Stadium. Every time I try to go to my rental teams I get the error code 2306-0520. Other online functions are working fine so I don't think it's just my connection. Any info on this issue? @Nintendo @NintedoSupport @Pokemon #Pokemon

@JettyMarc11 I think the online is going to be the big jump that makes it feel like a sequel. Nintendo overhauled their 20 yo online network last year; My understanding is that it takes quite a lot of time/resources to fix it into a game. Probs saw it worth just doing a new game inatead

@transapoIIo @NintendoUK I havent watched the trailers apart from the announcement one, my original complaint was that all nintendo games on the switch have this issue. Ever since the passing of Iwata and then Reggie leaving company has been awful

just saying Splatoon 3 is not a fix it later game splatoon has always been built around this and its the only nintendo game to get post launch right

Anyone remember that time when Nintendo Power teased the game they'd be covering in their next issue with a picture of a blue sphere and a needle piercing it and said, "hey, it might be Mother 3!" Anyone remember that? They were actually talking about Sonic and the Black Knight.

@yamatogoat Both Torna and Octo Expansion are some of the best dlc Nintendo has going for it, why are either an issue?

****** up that people have no problem with Nintendo announcing paid DLC for Smash, Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade, and Splatoon before the games are even out when this was exactly what people criticized Call of Duty for doing for years
