@saraislet @jesstheunstill @ireneista ACNH might be a weird game to use as an example though, I think it's mostly P2P over Nintendo's online service rather than server based? So the issue there would be getting ACNH to work on the regular internet outside Nintendo's walled garden.

I was on elite smash no lag, I was clapping this campy *** Steve. They’re at 115 on their last last stock I’m just on my 2nd stock. I see the game freeze I’m thinking they ragequit but it was actually my wifi going out and I got banned for 45 min… really Nintendo for a Steve!?😩

To explain the issue in Nintendo terms: it's like Snorlax was given the Pokeflute

@TheNulling Its really innovative because it gives you the worst of both worlds. You get both laggy players controlling gameplay from p2p and server problems from server based netcode. Once again Nintendo is able to do its own thing, while everyone else gets left in the dust.

@gamuzumi I have Uncovered Waifu 1 and 2 on Switch with full ******. Plus Dead or Alive Xtreme. It is probably only valid to Nintendo of America. Europe and Japan has no problems with it.

@YOG3NSHA I'm not defending Nintendo because they have their own share of issues. I'm just pointing out a problem that the Big Three console manufactures have for over the past 20 years as this issue has been mostly ignored and it's only finally being addressed by gamers like you and me.

@ZakkenKloot @DestinLegarie Except Bethesda is the publisher for this, not Nintendo. It is def a Bethesda/MS problem.

@ConnaDstroyYa @gamuzumi Actually, Gamuzumi publish an AO type game. If they released their game as physical, they would not have a problem since there quite a few physical games with ****** in it. Unless some woke managed to infiltrate Nintendo of Japan, I doubt that was an issue.

@YOG3NSHA Truth be told, Nintendo's approval process is notorious for being slower than their online gameplay service that you have to pay for 20 dollars a year. I mean compared to Sony and Microsoft, when it comes to Nintendo you'll be waiting a lot then.

@Ruleof2Review @SMetaldave64 EA has natural Hate issue with Nintendo since the Wii U. Dont Think we gonna start seeing new EA Games on Switch. They refuse to put the Sims, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Star Wars. Dragon Age. and other backlog on Switch. Wont see that changing with Switch 2.

@TransRatPunk @NintendoAmerica Is that why 2 wasn't well received like the first one? Cause they opted for more fan service than actual good writing and dialogue?

@The_CrapGamer Nintendo led to Ataris demise??!?!?! You sure the video game crash of 83/84 had nothing to do with ataris demise??? Segas poor management had nothing to do with their demise? EA refusing to put their games on Dreamcast was Sonys fault??
