@IGN Bruh, if Nintendo had taken it seriously, the games wouldn't have been released in such a broken state in the beginning. Did they do testing before doing this **** move?

@StevenManeVox The whole situation from what I've seen on here is really ****** up. Still think the root of the problem is Nintendo though. They're control freaks and always have been going back to the NES.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon It is 16:23, December 1. No patch available on eShop or in update channel. Unable to access internet due to servers updated. Unable to participate in internet based raids. Bad situation when trying to update trivial issues.

@NintendoAmerica 10 dollars they only fix the item dupe glitch and they're going to leave all the gamebreaking glitches untouched.

@TheEconomist People forget that the buying of AB deals was also offered to Amazon and Apple. The fact Xbox/Microsoft was able to buy is the best deal for gaming which is why Nintendo had no problem with the deal since were they partnering with Microsoft with game pass.

I never even heard the Scarlet/Violet champion or Elite 4 theme music during my initial playthrough because of a glitch that Nintendo just patched. I heard the few initial tones but not the intended theme. oh my god lmao.

(@mtshirogane) reported
@NintendoAmerica From what I heard, the major problem affecting SV’s performance on the Switch is something to do with memory, similar to the performance of Donkey Kong 64 and the requirement of the N64 Expansion Pack, with the add-on only skipping the problem instead of the team fixing it.

@PlayerEssence To keep up sales. come on man. It's not that hard. If Nintendo "promises" to fix the issues people will be more likely to buy the game in the hopes of a fix. And you fell for it Hook, Line and Sinker. I haven't moved the goalpost once my guy.

@Emcee_Mikey @toutetsuyuuma @NintendoAmerica Did... Did you just tell them to fix the game themself instead of pointing out the issue to the people that made/would be in charge of fixing the game?

@NintendoAmerica So you're saying you are aware of the performance issues and are just not going to do anything about it? And no you don't take feedback seriously. On your support pages when we say an article didn't help, it just says "Thanks for your feedback" without letting us explain why!

@mickto1 @HylianH3ro Far more! Even Nintendo is better with customers than PlayStation. PlayStation has the worst customer service I’ve ever received.

@Batida_De_Koko I cannot play docked due to eyesight. I play hand held on a release day Switch (that was repaired by Nintendo 2 years ago to boot) for hours on end and have not encountered any serious issues. I only had an FPS drop during my final titan fight and that was it.

@hurricanerules3 @NintendoAmerica The paragraph below is directly related to the notes above. They don’t need to specify what the bug fixes are for us to know that they’re in response to performance issues, nor is there any assumption that all fixes have been made, but that we’re headed in the right direction.

@WaDiRob Someone needs to get Wadi in the same room as the execs at Nintendo. His handshake will legit fix everything

@outersplit @baeconic It's Nintendo so I'm not sure we'll get proper patch notes, but I'm guessing their main priority would be fixing the memory leak which is likely the cause of most of the other problems, most notably the framerate and crashes.
-

(@Kamrom) reported
@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon The TLDR for the patch: Its our top priority to fix the issue that let you get Ability Patches somewhat more easily than intended. Our second priority is to release new content without resolving the problems that are already there, ensuring bugs increase exponentially.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Music… not playing correctly in elite 4… not a bug fix or anything better? Like something to boost gameplay stability? Ehhhh…😒 I dunno kind of a waste of an update.

I don’t think Nintendo will ever learn that lowering the requirement to get into X doesn’t solve the problem.

@xTheLostLegendx @StudentStr8 @NintendoAmerica As somebody that has solo'd every 5* and 6* raid without ever going online once, the issue isn't that the raids are too hard. Challenging yes, but "too hard", not even close. You want the chance to get good items, you need to expend a bit of effort to learn how to use your 'mons.

@rottencxndy @SimplicityMarx @NintendoAmerica I'm a sucker for Nintendo's gameplay formula and I'm stuck dealing with their bullshit because of it. I was expecting them to either ignore it or randomly fix it weeks down the line; this was a pleasant surprise.

@NintendoAmerica @Pokemon Pokemon company is investing in woke things but not in their games, i hope future updates patch all these bad performance issues.

@ssbmGooms Not a fan of hating on panda employees, they're human beings too who need careers. As far as we know, the blame solely rests with Alan and nintendo. Until Alan makes a statement I'm w vgbc and bts (and likely after that too. Can't imagine Alan pulls this fix off)

@NintendoEurope You take it seriously? Really? After you announced NO complaints were made about the game AND you DELETED all complaints about the issues on the forums. Take ownership of your transgressions! @Nintendo @NintendoAmerica

@GraterAlexander Nintendo's control issues aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. I do feel this is a PG thing, though.

I don't think addressing the problem with Nintendo and the Smash community with "yo bro play <insert indie platform fighter title> the devs actually support it" is gonna help the situation. Hopefully that's an ice-cold take.
