@kerrence AAA day 1 Nintendo releases aren't exactly something a journalist goes out to emulate to play. The game is broken in a lot of ways and it depends on your hardware (which is also a bad thing)

I have a nintendo switch lite that I’d gladly give away for free except two of the buttons are stuck / don’t work. If anyone wants it and thinks they could fix those you’re welcome to it

I think its absolutely hilarious that pokemon scarlet violet is being slammed for the bugs (and other reasons, mostly bugs tho) since nintendo came after the atari crash and was very clear they wouldn't release games (or allow 3rd party games) that were glitchy nightmares

If i look at other switch games, i do not think the switch is the root cause of pokemon scarlet's performance issues, dear gaming news outlets. You aren't being nearly loud enough about Nintendo/The Pokemon Company forcing (another) unfinished game out the door too early.

@chaoticdvmbass Game Freak probably isn't the issue. Its more likely Nintendo pushing out impossible deadlines. Like CoD. When a CoD game releases bad or yearly, that's Activision, not InfinityWard.

The higher ups are to blame for the Pokémon debacle but at this point would another year have fixed the fundamental issues? Pokémon Nintendo Game Freak All 3 companies need a total reassessment of what they want out of a game, what’s feasible, and the labor needed

It's about damn time the @Pokemon, @Nintendo and #Gamefreak come out and acknowledge that #PokemonScarletViolet is broken and their plans to fix the game just like @RockstarGames did with the GTA trilogy

@Zachtastic3 I want to agree in general, but one big issue is that unfortunately just getting a good game likely won't be the result. We need to spread that we expect better games, not that we don't like the series. Because otherwise the result will be nintendo canceling the series instead.

@Gothalion Did they put out a statement saying that time and staffing was the issue? This bad quality isnt something new from game freak, so I’m just curious if we should be giving them a pass on “time and staffing” for billion dollar Nintendo franchise without an official statement.

@Marionete2004 @SagamiSword_ I mean yes Nintendo literally ignores the stick drift issues in purpose just because it makes them more money

@Charalanahzard The problem is the fans, not nintendo, not the devs, the problem is the Nintendo Fanboys that will buy everything and will never talk bad about their games.

@hntrcllns I think the pokemon company is part of the problem with their release schedule, but yes I really wish Nintendo would step in and be like "nope, we need to try a new team" (not sure if this is even possible with how much they own but who knows)

@NintendoUK how much is it to fix a switch dock with a broken HDMI port?

@Charalanahzard They seem incredibly low effort most of the time unfortunately, especially for such a beloved franchise. And that might be the problem. People are going to buy the games regardless of how good they are, and Nintendo knows that.

We have to push the release date by two weeks (a BIG deal for a time-to-market). We inform Nintendo of the new release date. We get approved immediately. Without even submitting a new build fixing whatever was the last petty problem they rejected us for. 😑 4/5

The Team Water win made me reconsider if Splatfests are really a Tricolor issue, which I now know isn't the case. I feel it's always been Nintendo's philosphy for "attackers vs defenders" to favor attackers, but that doesn't mean defenders never win. You have to prove it.

@its_eniebomedov @bucketFanboy @Marionete2004 Investors invest their money on Nintendo and developers spend money to develop on Nintendo if these numbers were fake… that’d be a big problem

@jin61865760 @NintendoAmerica Ikr they have all the time to post all their garbage *** promotions for a buggy *** game but no time to apologize and address the issues. Actually sad, I’ve seen smaller companies and game devs do way better

@TheSliceofAnime @Wolffang7191 @berdyaboi They didn’t cut Pokémon. They were still in the game. There was a hardware issue because Nintendo didn’t make the GBA able to interact with a GB If you think these two situations are at all comparable, you’re either ignorant or deluding yourself

@Jawmuncher I don't have any issue with it looking too much like AW, I just have concern for the devs due to how Nintendo can be. I'd buy it day 1 though.

As the process goes, we submit the game to Nintendo for approval. As is usual, we get rejected a first time. Few compliance details to fix. Submit again, fail again. And again. And again. 2/5

@NintendoAmerica Send in support to fix and finish the game. The failure to release a finished game is on you too. It literally broke the R buttons on my controller.

Been trying to capture my feelings on Pokèmon and in short: Yes it's got framerate issues that are appalling to see in a big Nintendo game, yes the lack of clothing options sucks... But underneath it all IS a strong Pokèmon game!
