@GreshamKayden You can watch it later on youtube/nintendo website just only block any notifications on any social media to avoid spoilers and with that problem solved, i dont understand why some people have to be very annoying when his job/school hours make it impossible to view it.

You know what unrealistic announcement I want from Nintendo tomorrow? Having a very large selection of their music available online Whether that’s through something like Spotify (preferably) or they make their own service, as someone that has to drive to school it’d be cool

Nintendo for the love of god if you're gonna charge me for online then I shouldn't be getting "communication errors" five matches in a row when I'm trying to play splatoon

@ScrubForWork @Carro3DSculpts Huh, that's the first I've heard of such, then again most people wouldn't tend to think on such. I'm not sure if they have some kind of check for if the cable is a Nintendo-made one or no, but it shouldn't cause issue. Consoles can be weird sometimes.

Nintendo needs to fix their servers. I can’t count the amount if communication errors I have gotten while playing Splatoon 3 on 2 hands, and I got it ****** yesterday. This doesn’t really surprise me though, it’s Nintendo after all.

@TheGAG_Reflex @TheNCSmaster They won't. Pokémon is too big, all other big games on the same period are going to have serious demand issues. Nintendo doesn't have guts to even launch a new mainline Mario or Zelda alongside Pokémon man. Pokémon is THE November game.

@Carro3DSculpts Ahh, 3rd Party Ethernet Adapter might be the issue; I brought an adapter, only to later learn that you need a VERY SPECIFIC ONE since Nintendo only designed the Switch to work with that one and I couldn't use it at all. Thanks Nintendo.

I just lost 20 games in a row in Splatoon 3. Please Nintendo, for the love of all that is good and holy, fix your gosh darn matchmaking for this bloody game. I'm at my limit here. I kinda just wanna put this game down for a whole month and hope that things aren't as bad by then.

@jamiesandford @jasteinerman @BuggeHansen A car solved a real world problem. Get somewhere faster more reliable. This doesn't. It does the exact opposite. Turning on your TV to then turn on your tinier screen on your phone, to then point it at the big TV, to see ****** Nintendo 64 graphics overlayed is NOT the same

@FreakZoneGames The Wii just being a suped-up GameCube in the year of HD consoles pushing double its resolution by this time really did show. And yeah, the sensor bar's still right there Nintendo, why did you forget that, even as you kept it in service for the Wii U and its Gamepad?

@MVD731 I'm enjoying it lots but idk if it's my connection or just nintendo not being ready to have all these people on the servers cuz there are connection errors like ngl maybe every 2nd/3rd match if you even get to a 2nd without an error, bright side is that it's quick to rejoin

Missing out on livestreamed euro nintendo ads is pretty much the smallest problem in the world, but on principle I do find it iffy how a thing meant for european countries halts because a british monarch died and britain has a strange, unreligious reason to be weird about it.
