@TWTHEREDDRAGON @CMAgovUK PS, Nintendo, XB, Nvidia have solid gaming foundations to be able to support a cloud based service. I can’t see any of them not succeeding in the long run. Google didn’t and Amazon doesn’t, so it didn’t surprise me that Stadia failed and it won’t surprise me when Luna fails.

really love that nintendo updated splatoon 3 so it has a communication error every other match instead of every few matches! Really improves the experience.

@NintendoAmerica Aaand now I’m getting disconnected every match… I had almost no connection issues before this update. God dammit.

(@KirstyPadlock) reported
Made it to my rank up battle in splat 3, and in the first match, two people on the other team DC, then I get “a connection error has occurred.” Counts as a loss on my rank up. Second match, “a connection error has occurred” immediately after a double splat. Loss 2.” Why Nintendo?

@TheOnlyHKen @NintendoAmerica The first update also focused on connection issues and we still had issues after. This one also focuses on connection issues. In both updates they mentioned in the patch notes that they *reduced the frequency* of communication errors. They haven’t eliminated them completely yet.

@kamesyking @m_rizky_gumilar @Genki_JPN Nintendo being innovative helps the sales, indeed. I don’t see the problem.

🥲 I got a communication error in Splatoon 3 before I even started. 🥲 This is embarrassing. Nintendo should have let this cook longer…

@ElderScrolls @ElderScrolls after downloading the DLC on the Nintendo Switch, the FPS dips on the open world specificallly near Fort Dunstad, or the area outside Castle Volkihar, and Riften, probably more. Please fix this.

@BanditGamesYT Please @Nintendo please do not make me carry around broken weapons in hope of repairing them. Please do not make The Legend of Zelda: More Inventory Management.

@madoletters @jadeechonn @NintendoAmerica huh, wack rng? i figure the biggest issue is finding defending teams for those since you cant select tricolor and must get it through random turf war matchups

@NintendoAmerica If I didn't get my Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition shipping notification yet, does that mean there is a problem?

@HuttserGreywolf Competition is good, it's pretty much just Sony and Microsoft atm with Nintendo doing it's own thing. The crash of 83 was beyond just having a lot of consoles, but also a flood of games with zero checks of quality at any stage at a early time in video game history.

Nintendo claims that the update and maintenance on Splatoon 3 was to fix the servers and I have had some sort of error every single match since I booted it up after the update. When are y'all gonna figure it out

@melissamcewen they are the only people who I thank for their service on a related note, nintendo probably spends more on their legal to pass out C&Ds than their game dev teams

@lilrizk @Shpeshal_Nick I don’t think Sony support is good, but MSFTs support (in Canada) is abysmal. Sonys biggest issue is that you need to call to get anything done, and the queues are long. Same for Nintendo.

Nintendo prioritizing an update to supposedly cut back on connection errors while still causing people to disconnect is very cool and fun thank you nintendo it did not work you are the best

@NintendoAmerica Well, seems like these errors are still there, so I don't know what you guys did, but it's not reduced at all.

Hey @NintendoAmerica could you fix the online service connection please? It's kinda getting annoying that many of have been disconnecting. Be nice if it were to be looked at. Thanks.

@lilrizk @tinybatsignal I’ve actually never really had any major issues with support from any of them. Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. On the whole they’ve all been pretty good for me.

GAMEPASS I agree w. @notaxation & #SacredSymbols: GamePass makes no economic sense ($10/mo. for live, $15/mo. for high profile free games?), that it's the predatory use of EATING costs to hurt #PlayStation & #Nintendo, & worst of all, it will further push games-as-a-service.
