@MrTOASTYMK187 @JinxieSKW @renegadevash I got it as well. Its good to have all platforms, I was never a fan it or into console wars. I always had the Sega, Nintendo Xbox ps1 dreamcast PC etc. Once you get them all, exclusive games won’t be an issue.

@Dj_hyperfresshh @NintendoAmerica The “Unstable Connection” error usually has do with your internet, not Nintendo. While the “Communication error occurred” is Nintendo’s fault.

@The_H_Nickel @OatmealDome 1. I believe this problem is transmitted by the Nintendo leadership to the leadership of their dev team. Look at the madness of Gamefreak releasing so many games that go down in quality. AcnH update death,ready.

Hi @NintendoEurope @NintendoES , are you going to do something about all the collector's editions of xenoblade 3 broken that you have sent or the only option you give us on your customer service is to return it and buy it from someone in wallapop/ebay for more than 100€?

Nintendo needs to make the rival Octoling hair style a wig so it act like a head gear to avoid the hat clipping problem

@hellenataylor This is what have happened - you lied - you split fans - you caused attack on jennifer hale through sheer manipulation - you put your financial problem on nintendo when it's you to manage your own finance - you're a greedy ungrateful person - you said you broke NDA but 0 proof

@alecatmew Since everything works on 4G it feels like your network or ISP is to blame… can you ping the service your *** repo is hosted at? Can you run something like Pingplotter to get an estimate of packetloss along the network path? I’d suggest pinging Nintendo’s servers, but P2P…

@Cheywhitey couldn't warm to the switch but that was more down to Nintendo's pricing models for their older games, suspect that won't be an issue here

@00pugsly @NintendoUK I'm not disputing that - but don't tell us you were offered a figure when the actual figure you were offered was significantly more. VAs are undervalued and underpaid, long known reality. Hellena's way of handling this created less sympathy for the actual problem, not more.

(@jojo_in_spaace) reported
@TheSphereHunter Considering Nintendo’s past issues with paying VA’s, her story made a lot of sense. Like yeah, you were only offered $4000 for a major role? That sounds pretty typical for Nintendo. That coupled w her good will w the fans and her seemingly breaking NDA, why would we doubt her? 🙃

@ Nintendo i have to go through 30 minutes of connection error for uncountable number of attempts to connect to a lobby just to play a 3 minute game and then for it to end abruptly due to ANOTHER disconnect issue and the cycle continues. #splatoon3

@JeffCompass @hellenataylor Oh Kamiya is a manchild, for sure, that never helps. Either way, the conclusion is the same, because if nintendo didn’t give them a VA budget it points to the larger systemic problem of the industry as a whole

@chrillcast ok though I think it was Nintendo Treehouse control of it than ATLUS USA problem back then.

@ajazaja74343225 @NintendoUK I don’t think she lied but I think it wasn’t super clear of what happened exactly. Perhaps the problem releasing a short Twitter video

@Pete_2097 @RGT_85 There's no indication of performance issues with Bayo 3 though. As for Pokemon, Nintendo's console could be a clone of an Xbox Series X and it wouldn't make a difference to Gamefreak.

@NintendoAmerica I have a message for you. Go **** yourselves you pieces of shits, you guys can't even develop a ******* game properly it's always half assed and don't get me started on your god ******* awful online service. I was playing Splatoon 3 and at the end of the match-

@00pugsly @NintendoUK That final offer of $4k was for cameo lines and not do voice Bayo. Final offer for Bayo was $15k. Decided to leave that part out. We're going in circles here. I think VAs (including Hellena) are underpaid. Her handling of the situation hasn't helped her or the wider problem.

@MinoRabe No issue at all. Nintendo controls the IP, so if a sequel is to be made, Nintendo has to want to as much as Platinum.

@NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA I don't really care about this. You guys need to fix the weapon imbalance ASAP!!!!!! My flingza roller does like zero damage unless the enemy is like 3cm in front of me. I hit people FIVE TIMES and they don't die!!!!! wth?? And please remove the spillway level, it's bad!

@LordNero020 @moatxsx I mean if that’s your only issue, they aren’t doing too bad. Still better than Sony and Nintendo.

@Kotaku She said she was only paid $3k for Bayo 1. She made Bayonetta 3 famous. Nintendo is a MultiBillion company. They cant base her pay on what the game make. If the franchise is a FLOP is not her problem. She is there as the lead actress and deserves a living wage. Thats true.

@DisneyDLV I have had some issues from the beginning with the system shutting down out of nowhere due to an error. Sometimes it happens with hours in between or in the span of 2 minutes. I play the game on the nintendo switch, not sure if anyone alse has this issue 🤔

@Darthwickett @HCWhiteWolf @jasonschreier I don't know what CEO at Nintendo you're trying to appease, but realistically the take is "voice actor asks for fair salary commendable with experience and previously demonstrated good performance". That's it. That's the issue. How is it *so* difficult to see fair wages for work?
