@UmiOkami13 What the issue? Is this like the "You need to have 2 games and consoles to have multiple islands on Animal Crossing" sort of thing? Isn't making an Nintendo account free? Or do you mean the online thing?

@leighwynne33 @Norville1982 If you wait a fix will be coming and probably fast since it’s a Nintendo game

I'm so ******* pissed. There are salmon hackers in #Splatoon2 that wait until until are on wave 3, last 10 seconds, and then disconnect all the users. I got this 5 ******* games in a row. Jesus **** Nintendo

@gaba_gooly @ssbm_aklo Bigger issue is that TOs already have Nintendo breathing down their necks as is, and it'd be hard to implement 1.03 because there's no stealth 1.03, it changes too much to be undetectable.

@samred I have the same problem on a Nintendo Switch OLED. On a Nintendo Switch V1 connected to the same router, I have no problem.

@TAHK0 How was Nintendo going to understand those issues back then? They don't have a crystal ball.

Nintendo Switch Sports' problematic launch reminds me a lot of how the issues with Super Mario Party slowly unraveled. Like not exactly the same issues, but issues with things that should have never been issues.

@leighwynne33 @NintendoUK Yeah I think it is probably more than likely a netcode issue, which us especially disappointing since Nintendo do keep implementing more online features into their games and can't even get the netcode right. It's super disappointing if that's the case tbh. I hope it improves

@TAHK0 Tbf that was the most extreme example I could think of in the time I worked at that store, but it was consistently an issue with Nintendo not shipping us enough product even though it was a big box store. Could have been supply chain issues whit that store, but idk

@gabby_gsp If you love nintendo titles like mario/kirby/zelda/pokemon, go ahead and get switch, but switch has terrible controller issues.

@ChappellTracker @MrGeop In the early 2000s Nintendo had a very weird brand image problem trying to compete with the gamer meme we all know today a product of Microsofts entry into the market, They wanted to also look cool and it fell totally flat cause you know Nintendo is not cool its cute and thats OK

@phosphor_glow I really like the two-pronged SuperPad but also yeah I've had to crack mine open a bunch of times and fix **** *and* the analog stick sits at a kind of unnatural angle and leads to frustration here and there, whereas the only way the Nintendo pads ever really fail is in the stick

@Ashikai re. Genshin Switch from your stream: I think the problem is Aloy: she's a PS property so likely isn't allowed on Switch, ditto for any Nintendo reps MHY want to add to the game too. They could make them console-locked skins for each other though, though that'd be tough.

@TornadoScrappy I hope Nintendo plans on their online service being the new standard for ALL their devices moving forward. Their "per device" store of the past was problematic and showcases how reluctant Nintendo had been to streamline the process (even if NO doesn't allow for legacy purchases)

@CCrossink @Vicvillon Have played for about 7h and have not received a second of lag or any connection errors. It’s literally so smooth and fast that I’m shocked on how Nintendo was able to pull it off

@TAHK0 But that's already accounted for and excess is not Nintendos problem but the stores. Nintendo has always been forcing false scarcity, these are just excuses that don't hold water.

@leighwynne33 @NintendoUK It's actually starting to make so much more sense the annoyance and fury behind the connectivity issue. That sounds like a complete nightmare. There I was hoping to just pick up and play offline with my partner but looks like I'll have to power through to unlock ****. So annoying

@Colingauthier1 @NintendoAmerica The problem is that they completely butchered the layout by making it a lot smaller, removed most shortcuts and made it a pretty bare bones course overall. The problem isn't the verticality (in fact, that was good), the problem is that I wanted to see a remake in the vein of
