@fr0gs3 Yeah, its really ******* annoying since the ones doing it are actively hurting the attempts to get GF/Nintendo to fix the root cause.

@SkywardWing the fact it took this long to update the game is insane to me. or that aside, it took them this long to address the issue. game freak/nintendo wack as **** for this one. great game, but wayyy too glitchy

@NintendoAmerica sooo many people in these replies slobbering on nintendo **** trying to justify wasting $60 on an unfinished game lol. just because YOU haven’t personally had significant performance issues doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing

@Poopikinz @CurvyKirby @NintendoAmerica A patch also won't fix the feeling I had during one of the final cut scenes of the game when the fps dropped to near slideshow levels and audio was 3-4 seconds out of synch for half of it. The game as a whole is fun but so much of it is disappointing and annoying.

@itchylittleboy @Lyndis_ @NintendoAmerica I mean there are under a post concerning pokémons & it's issues I don't see how this is not involved in pokémon into that smash drama. However I did say that whatever methods that they need to use to get Nintendo to listen is totally okay because that situation is ****** up.

@NintendoAmerica The only thing remotely useful in this changelog is "Other select bug fixes have been made." With all the launch issues for this game, can we at least get more details on WHAT bug fixes were made?

@M88Gaming I love the game still, but I also gotta admit that it's busted. And people, especially the gaming media, should've demanded that they fix it. Not just saying "they won't" and move on. I mean that's not how CDPR or Bethesda was treated. Shouldn't accept it 'cause its Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica thanks for aiding the problems and starting to fix those, that's really a lot but the biggest thing Should be having greater performance on town... also inside of Building would be cool

@RealmRoyaleMore The game crashes on Nintendo Switch and is unplayable, please fix it🙏

@IGN With over 10 million copies sold i doubt Nintendo will because it shows gamers will buy buggy and broken games just like they did Cyberpunk.

@PlayerEssence @NintendoAmerica Exactly I have no plans to play this game until they fix majority of the issues.

(@Slade4Lucas) reported
@g0ldenkn1ght @SaturnAscends83 @SpawnWaveMedia This misses the fact that Pokemon, the franchise not fully owned by Nintendo, is the one that has this issue, while Nintendo games typically very rarely have these issues and have at times been completely restarted rather than releasing a broken game. This isn't a Nintendo thing.

@haydenjs94 @IGN So Nintendo devs etc and all the YouTube videos all over the internet is all fake? Man you ppl are annoying as hell. Just like cyberpunk2077 ppl. Then after they patched it and the game plays so much better we are happy but y’all salty. Why? You like broken games?

@winterishere88 @Dyyrin @IGN Yea but the problem is that it’s a trend among the industry. Publishers rush out games to hit deadlines and fix it after with patches instead of putting out a polished product. It’s something Nintendo ain’t known for.

@NintendoAmerica I have a feeling there's only one bug they're wanting to fix, and it isn't one to make the gameplay more enjoyable

@NintendoAmerica Yay! I hope this will help fix some of the glitches. I went back to playing @CookstarYumYum because I got so frustrated with it.

@RGT_85 I'm not sure a few patches will fix this game. The performance is terrible. Nintendo can say what they want, I'll believe it when I see it. Pokemon just should not have launched this way.

@davidscottjaffe you plan on playing the new Pokémon? It is getting a ton of hate but I am really enjoying it even if it is buggy as hell. Gets a lot right but probably needed another 6-12 months. Nintendo is already promising to fix it as much as it can. Might like it, idk.

@SuperiorArtemis @NintendoAmerica Have you ever played Elder Scrolls Online? It had this issue before for like about 4 years ago from some big update which made you rune mother earth's soil if you catch my drift. Haha!
