We need to provide Nintendo feedback in order to change this mess. I'm honestly surprised about the scores in the app stores. I mean, it's clearly a mess XD.



my bad. dupe.

That picture needs one more post. Ha. Even worse than I thought, what with the phone's screen needing to be on at all times. Why is anybody surprised though? I blew my load on this months ago. Terrible. Can players text message each other now, or is that feature still somehow missing?

Wish they had invested in a microphone and some Bluetooth instead of motion controls and fancy rumble.

But yeah, this is worse than I thought. Absolutely dreadful.

I'm just gonna slowly hide in my little hermit shell known as Discord.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Anyone else think the end result will be a lot better than it seems right now?



Nintendo should make some sort of partnership with Microsoft to use Xbox Live as their offered online service for Switch. They already offer crossplay between the two and PC. Nintendo just can't get online gaming services correct, even Wii U, while better than Switch, was kind of a mess.



Man, can you imagine how Reggie must feel. Every time he got asked about this (and will in the future) he must have bit his lip hard and told the interviewers "this is the best way to game online currently" or something to that affect, knowing full well he's lying.

You people act surprised like it wasn't expected. I mean, it's as obvious as looking at what Nintendo has done recently:

- Released a hype new console that is actually good with a good OS and no pointless gimmick.
- Broke all Zelda traditions to make an innovative new game that might be the best Zelda ever made.
- Released another interesting new IP.
- Made a quick sequel to Splatoon that improves and builds over its predecessor.
- Looks like they might be starting to embrace e-Sports.
- Had a great E3 showing with loads of awesome games like an ambitious new Mario and 2 real Metroid games.

See the trend? Nothing about this is bad. Nothing here is shitty. It was obvious that somewhere, at some point, Nintendo would have to be Nintendo.

That's pretty funny lol
