So many of these issues could've been avoided with some art direction. You know, art direction? Stylization? The thing Nintendo games are known and loved for? Why go for this weird, semi-realistic style when they, for a number of reasons, can't pull it off anyway?

@spndyle @AmandaPLuff @MrSinnoh Again if not for its 1st party games nintendo would be forced to actually put good and decent performing hardware out there. nintendo would be in trouble.

@KevinOsuna90 Nintendo (Davide confirmed in an interview they still have to ask them permission to do lots of things in the game) see the value in the character. Only thing working against him is Japanese popularity, which Mario Rabbids could fix that or could finally be overlooked for 6

Nintendo uploaded some Pokémon Scarlet/Violet profile pics, and I can't believe they didn't take the time to fix **** Cat's wonky eye. I'm begging Pokémon Company to give their teams enough time to polish things.

@mitchmozey @zfg111 They do. This isn't a Nintendo issue, it's GameFreak. Nintendo doesn't lord over them when creating Pokemon games, they are given free reign to do whatever that want because they aren't under Nintendo's banner fully. If you have any grievances with Pokemon, point to GameFreak.

@aphrodite_0_ @TheJamesStrife @hereisbosco Um. They're most likely not gonna fix them, lol. Most Pokémon games have 1-3 patches and then the game is as is until DLC shown with SWSD. That's just how Nintendo be.

type of guy who is inexplicably having much more trouble playing Super Mario Bros (deluxe) for the nintendo switch than he is with Elden Ring

@GrumpyCatterman @ArmTheBeagles Maybe. But I haven’t encountered any actual bugs that hurt gameplay. Graphical problems, which is par for the course for Nintendo game at launch, but nothing really bad.

@SafeButter @blade346 It says Nintendo Switch Share so my best bet is that people are doing this while docked (which was aptly noted to be the most likely to see glaring glitch issues). I got a Switch Lite so permanently being in held hasn’t really shown too many bugs for me.

@FrostyHotCoffee So apparently its because most people are playing on the base 2017 Nintendo switch which is the "cause" of the performance issues. I dont think people with the OLED have performance issues that ive seen yet

@NintendoAmerica Would love to see you all acknowledge the absolutely dreadful performance issues in the game and announce plans for a fix...

@squishygamerboy The issue, of course, is that this is an open world game on the Nintendo Switch...... so it lags like crazy when there's a lot going on at once :( Thankfully online doesn't make it any worse.

@Arnauzer @haide023 @JoeMerrick I think the model fps drops and pop in are funny lmao. It's just a matter of life until they either fix it or Nintendo makes better hardware. Even SMT 5 and XB3 which are gorgeous otherwise suffer from it.

@NintendoAmerica how about you crunch some of your devs and make managers stay at their side and fix the terrible performance? a game this ugly shouldn't run so poorly

@bravegIows and it hurts even more when i look at splatoon 3, a game at launch which at WORST had connectivity to the internet issues but all Nintendo games have that

@DreamcastGuy The game itself is fun but I definitely agree Game Freak could have done far much better with the graphics and framerate. This is unacceptable in 2022 especially for a Nintendo game! I'm glad I got both versions but I hope they fix this really quick.

6. A shame that Pokemon's quality was getting even worst in Scarlet & Violet due to it's incomplete technical issues. Should've just delayed the game just to be made on the next Nintendo console. But I don't care since I quit being a Pokemon fan since this game's controversy.

I was ******* ecstatic about the idea. This was hot off of my Materia years so I knew all the right people that could get involved. Licensing would be an issue because Nintendo, but they somehow assured me that they knew how to get around it. They had a budding record label.

@thetruebowser Please push for a patch or SOME message from Nintendo recognizing the issues and ensuring the fan base they're working on it. Returning my double-pack til they do.
