  • DeadScrewKaz Kazanma (@DeadScrewKaz) reported

    nintendo fix your goddamn servers

  • X_GamerCouple_X That Gamer Couple 🎮 (@X_GamerCouple_X) reported

    @drgnslilwhore77 The v1.1.0 patch that came out today was more for small things and the starting of the competitive scene and hasnt fixed many technical things that hurt the performance but they are planning to fix it in the months ahead says Nintendo/Pokemon Co.

  • SirSlush_ Matt Santoro (@SirSlush_) reported

    @jinjo360 If I had to guess? A combination of money and potential emulation issues. Banjo Tooie may not emulate well on the Switch hardware, but I'm not an expert in that kind of thing. Maybe Rare wants more money than Nintendo want to give them for it?

  • birdleyy ✯bradley✯ (@birdleyy) reported

    So gen 9 is a good Pokémon game hidden behind a mess of technical problems. It’s fun but holy **** Nintendo make new hardware PLEASE

  • pleasanttomboy Pleasanttomboy (@pleasanttomboy) reported

    I seriously need to fix my Nintendo controllers I can’t game otherwise

  • furnabulax Matt Aleixo™ (@furnabulax) reported

    They shouldve fixed the box system with that patch, bc i cant select multiple pokemon and go to “all boxes” and deposit up to 30 pokemon into an empty box. The box system from SwSh was perfect, there was no need to try and fix it @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica

  • TalesOfProphecy TalesOfProphecy 🦃 (@TalesOfProphecy) reported

    OKAY FIRST. I've praised these games and defended them even though they have a ridiculous amount of issues... WTF lmao These Charizard raids are broken! beaten it 5 times with a group all prepared and the health bar just refills! like this is a joke. @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica

  • kentstupmi Kent Stupmi (@kentstupmi) reported

    @pokejungle @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon These aren't frequent from what I can tell. Personally I only experienced 1 crash but the game autosaved regularly enough

  • bschmeltzer Baily (@bschmeltzer) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon your online service/implementation is ridiculous. The lag, glitchiness, and inconsistency in these raids for #ScarletViolet needs to be fixed, especially for these spotlight events. Jfc be competent for once.

  • The_Pee_Man_124 The Pee Man (@The_Pee_Man_124) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please just take more time to fix the games we don’t need a Pokémon game every year 🙏

  • Curi0usGeorge3 Curious George (@Curi0usGeorge3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Will it be exclusively aold on the Nintendo website, because we all know there were absolutely NO issues with the last time it happened

  • TeoBrn93 Matteo Brentegani (@TeoBrn93) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If you care about the game then release at least a stabile Version of it. You ask for a lot of money for a product that don't worth the price. You fix clone glitch and other minor issues while the game have seriuos problems.

  • Gson84912409 Ridly (@Gson84912409) reported

    @TransRatPunk @DazzlingDazzaD @supermariomovie Illumination, Tpc, Nintendo coming together is not a problem at all lol

  • SelloStampr SelloSTAMP??? (@SelloStampr) reported

    Do you guys think theres any chance nintendo will fix mahi (change it back to splat 1 mahi)? I couldnt care less about the other maps just PLEASE MAHI WHYYYYYYYYY

  • SuperSonic_1990 Santa Sonic 🎅☃️🌲 ®️ #BLM #GarganaclStan (@SuperSonic_1990) reported

    If only Scarlet and Violet weren't PS1 titles parading on a Switch! 😭 I love these games. I love the new Pokémon. I love everything about it except the performance issues. WHY NINTENDO WHY DO YOU DO THIS?! 😭😭😭😭😭

  • Diamond_Aura_ Diamond Aura ❎ (@Diamond_Aura_) reported

    @Dave19Brown83 @NintendoAmerica …? Do you think Sakurai is the only one in all of Nintendo who can access those renders?? Maybe issues with copyright might be a prevention, but your reason doesn’t make sense XD

  • mushthemellow1 Mush 🍄 UPGRADE IN THE WORKS (@mushthemellow1) reported

    **** you Nintendo you lying ******. "We take our customer's feedback very seriously about performance and bug issues." Bullshit no you don't. All you did was get rid of koraidon/miraidon dupe and the game looks exactly the same. You didn't fix **** you just took away the fun.

  • down_tent down_tent (hourly Quinella) (@down_tent) reported

    It's only a Matter of time before Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door makes it way to the service Nintendo Switch online Expansion Pass 2. ~

  • Hobolick Hobo (@Hobolick) reported

    @MowzaProduction @FiggerPick @OrwellNGoode I agree, but Nintendo sucks too. Infact all tv games and movies have been such trash for so long. The 2008 crash killed everything good in life. And then adobe and apple killed free online games. Cant even play all the great games online. No active x controls..sincelike2yearsago

    That's not to say Nintendo deserves no criticism whatsoever for the issues with the game. I'm not going simp for billion dollar corporations. I just... legitimately enjoy this game more than anything I've played in awhile. They took the best parts of Arceus+SS and leaned in.

  • Jenellsaphid Ashleigh Junor (@Jenellsaphid) reported

    @NintendoAmerica get it together on #splatoon3 Nintendo! Comm errors are worse than ever.

  • Xia_Shaktii Xia (@Xia_Shaktii) reported

    @NintendoAmerica The new raid is ******* unplayable and these new ******* glitches you didn't fix ****

  • Curi0usGeorge3 Curious George (@Curi0usGeorge3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Will it be sold exclusively on the Nintendo website, where no one has ever had any issues with pre-ordering Xenoblade Chronicles related special editions before?

  • MistyVest69 Misty Vest (@MistyVest69) reported

    @NintendoAmerica fix the charizard Tera raid. He gets health back and I can barely get hits off by the time he hits me twice

  • KijinTangerine Tangerine (@KijinTangerine) reported

    @Poopikinz @CurvyKirby @NintendoAmerica They can update the entire game in a year and fix the issues out.

  • ElliottsLament Elliott's Lament (@ElliottsLament) reported

    @AndrewKnob @TheWelbe @90sWWE How can you speak with any authority on a console you didn't even buy? The N64 mini doesn't exist simply because Nintendo hasn't decided to make one yet(and possibly technical issues that other people have mentioned).

  • MechaShiva76 MechaShiva76 (@MechaShiva76) reported

    ... then nintendo buffs weapons like the bow and stamper that already have a huge lag advantage and kill when they aren't even aiming remotely close to me. to be on equal terms, ultra stamp would need to have splashdown AoE and the sploosh would need nzap range.

  • riz_riz_rizzz Riz (@riz_riz_rizzz) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Idk maybe fix the game.

  • Raios_Rogue_ Raios Rogue (@Raios_Rogue_) reported

    @sneasley_11 @NewMacBookUgly @Zuby_Tech this game is not demanding at all my previous 3090 TI PC destroys this game at native 4K 165fps max settings these are old graphics and nintendo graphics on top of that that a potato like the nintendo switch should run without problems. you should be with me demanding better
