Legit, I feel like I’m getting more communication errors on Splatoon 3 than on 2. And not just during splatfests. Why can’t Nintendo fix their online 😭

@Marionete2004 @GALAXY__COWBOY Well, these mobile ports are emulated. I doubt your smartphone would have any trouble running it. Other contemporary options are Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, that Genesis collection on Steam, PS4/5, Switch, xBox One/Series, the Genesis Mini (2)-

@NintendoAmerica if one of the joycons becomes loose in Splatoon 3, the connected one stops working. I didn't realize the problem until I restarted the game and got the controller dialog. Untethering a joycon shouldn't cause a problem; if it does, please show the dialog sooner

@Fawfulthgreat64 So, no we prolly won't see Mario Kart 9 for a while or if ever. Nintendo is slowly moving to a live service model. But the Nintendo way.

IS IT THE 15,532ND LOOP YET?
(@mason_spliff) reported
@JoJoSilentHillZ Nintendo really didn't. The Wii U was underrated and everything that people have ever hated on Nintendo for is blown heavily out of proportion. A lot of current issues is that players don't like Nintendo not letting them pirate games

@KTiereny @pesuhardar already confirmed they were making a PROFIT prior! They are doing that because they know their fanbase will empathize and buy it with no problem. Their competitors in MS and Nintendo have yet to do so, because even behind them, they don’t need it!

@ShotoMagnolia21 I dont see an issue tho. They found the type of logo that immediately makes you think PlayStation. Personally i would hate to see them change it every gen just for the sake of it. Secondly nintendo always makes radically different console that rarely improve the previous

Nintendo has to fix #Splatoon3. Every time I use an amiibo and then change my gear, the software closes due to an error. Seriously?

I feel like for Turf War a lot of the stages are just too small. I would like to see Nintendo do stage renovations to fix that.

Nintendo needs to fix its matchmaking. I’m doing pro and I’m B rank. I’ve regularly been pitted against players with the S+ badge and it’s been awful.

@KeysaTrii I blame it on nintendo's online servers I don't remember even once disconnecting in splatoon 2 on my current wifi service suddenly it's the opposite in splatoon 3

This is a 1Chip Super Nintendo that needed some cleaning. 1Chips also output a SUPER overbrightened image so I soldered in 3 resistors to fix that

By the way it might be good to remind of the glaring issues of N64 Nintendo Switch Online: - Please let me at least rotate the ABXY controls to at least have B & A on Y & B respectively. - Please swap L and Z on games that make use of Z more (using ZL and R is unintuitive).

@jmscstle @EthanVanSciver You live a pretty sad and pathetic life, just sitting around playing Nintendo all day then hopping on Twitter throw false statements at people to get your fix. Everybody has an "L" every now then but at least they weren't born one

@SimonBecarrot @IntroSpecktive Most of Nintendo's franchises have had an impact tbh. Pretty much all iconic video game characters are in there already too. I feel like the only ones we're really missing are Master Chief, Lara Croft, and Crash Bandicoot.
