@NintendoCanada @NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA Day 21 (22 with Splatfest) of asking for a fix for the “not enough players” error on Splatoon 3. I’m done being polite about it now, you sold me a game I can’t play because your servers don’t work. I want a refund.

@itz_walshy I have this idea because anytime I’ve mentioned game preservation issues in this very conversation about non-Nintendo games (especially how bad PC is with it by default) you’ve literally ignored them being mentioned.💯

So in this update of #Splatoon3 Nintendo banned users from mainland China to connect their severs to improve the quality of their connections. Good jobs, Nintendo. Youmotherfuck. We are ban for yearly paid. Go fix you potato-taste server! Not fix the users!

I got a Nintendo eShop gift card as a late birthday present from my mum. I was torn between Disney Dreamlight Valley and the Zelda DLC, but I went with the DLC in the end. Still want Dreamlight Valley, but it seems like there’s still a lot of issues to be ironed out.

So what's it like owning all 6 Mario Games on Switch? The entire Crash N Sane Trilogy? The entire Spyro Reignited Trilogy? The Xenoblade Chronicles Experience Trilogy as Nintendo UK dubs all three games? Well exciting. Crash Warpped and Xenoblade 3 really pushed the series.

@OfficialXboxU That's what I was saying, the pricing seems to be a Nintendo issue, hell I made a post on the situation comparing Skyrim on all 3 console platforms and Steam because I'm very aware of Nintendo's business practice when it comes to digital games

Fix the Splatoon3’s server or suck my ****, **** u @SplatoonJP @Nintendo once again **** u!

@BIahBIahB1ah @Yoimiyeah1 @Viceroy_12 That's an irrelevant question, let's stick to the main issue. Why should Xbox absorb the cost for the Nintendo user base?

@FranchiseWario That sounds more like a stubborn Nintendo issue than a ****** Nintendo issue to me though. It sucked yeah but the system still wasn't terrible.

@NintendoUK these were up over a week ago on the store, and yet no word yet on the Xenoblade 3 CE. Did the store got an improvement in customer service during the 6 day downtime or was it just taking a nap?

I’m just gonna say it. Splatoon 3 is not only the worst game in the series, it’s the worst Nintendo game in years. The matchmaking is terrible and the connection errors are abysmal. There is zero excuse for Nintendo to not have their **** together after 7 years of this series.

@NintendoAmerica , lifelong player and fan, only issue with you is that your core games don't go on sale nearly enough, said it, sorry.

@ThaCrazyBuffalo The problem is they can’t do they without releasing better hardware for themselves. There zero chance I’d ever buy a Nintendo console again now that the steam deck is out

@TWTHEREDDRAGON @FTC @CMAgovUK Lol, Stadia was DOA when it launched. Had nothing to do with XBox or Playstation or Nintendo. Had to do with Google's business model. Full price for a game you don't own. Plus the technology for a latency fix and the world's internet speed isn't ready for full on game streaming.

@NintendoAmerica @SplatoonNA you really haven’t fixed the disconnecting issue. Out of the 1st 3 matches I’ve splayed today, people have disconnected twice.

@TWTHEREDDRAGON this is a Nintendo issue. it's $50 on every other platform, but Nintendo are the publishers of the Nintendo version, rather than Bethesda, and the publisher sets the price

can the splatoon 3 community calm ******** down? some people are making a joke of it i get it it's funny but some people are genuinely pissed about the communication errors, guys the game isn't even a month old yet and this game has outsold most of Nintendo's best sellers

@ApotrixG @The_Hypist @NintendoAmerica The problem with Starlink is that every planet was the same but a different colour, 90% of the objectives were the same and most of the enemy's were the same.

@NoctSpectre @NintendoAmerica It was more of an issue for those running on wifi in general. Even with expensive plans, brand new Wifi 6 routers, and placing your Switch within close proximity, connection issues still occurred. There was no lag at all, but trying to queue into a game was unpredictable.

@verge ...the remark about "too much friction" is false , it works frictionless on my LG 4K TV , much easier then the mentioned Nintendo Switch (which I also have), problem was marketing and available games

@RankedGabe @Dexerto I got a couple of the controllers. Tbh you didn't even need the stadia controller itself, I managed to play it via Google chrome + nintendo switch controller wired to PC. just an online service that lets you play aaa games. pretty convenient at times tbh

After regaining my broadband, getting a finger wag from Nintendo for "being naughty and disconnecting mid-match" feels condescending as ****. "DoN'T YoU DaRe dIsCoNnEcT AgAiN Or eLsE We'lL BrInG ThE BaN HaMmEr oN YoU! x3"

@Mr_Meowstic @OatmealDome Please check the official patch notes before complaining even further. Nintendo openly admitted this wasn't a major fix and they are working on a bigger update to fix these issues. That should be more than enough.

@martinmarshh @OfficialXboxU Talk to Nintendo if you have an issue with it. They are still charging 60 for the non upgraded version. Like they do with their older games.
