In Splatoon 2 aren't you blocked from queuing into turf war with your friends, and isn't all chat handled through the phone app?

You can play Turf War with friends, it’s just you’re not guaranteed to play on the same team. So you may play with a friend one game and against them the next two, and the next one they’re back on your team.

So it’s simultaneously better and dumber than not playing with friends at all.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.

they're not going to do this when they can easily patch it in a month later instead

Is is something that could easily be implemented? I'm sorry for being really ignorant about game development, but would this be something they could get out in a patch within a month?

Otherwise, I'll be expecting people to spam one star reviews of the games on every major retail sit

I know you're joking, but I do have a feeling that they're going to delay it by a month due to all of the backlash

I know they could patch it, but is it really something they can implement within a month? Has the game gone gold already?

There is zero chance this happens, even if for the first time ever they seriously consider addressing complaints that their online sucks.

i mean i'm not super knowledgable about game development either but given that it's all online stuff we're talking about not much needs to be changed on like, physical carts or the data on our switchs. i'm assuming it's mostly server-side stuff necessary to make it so we as players can decide who we're lobbying up with instead of just getting randos

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
I'm staring down xenoblade chronicles 2 and ffxii, not too sure which one to get. I've been pinning for xii, but my little brother has been raving about xenoblade 2. Is there a chance xenoblade will ever be on sale?

Edit: Actually, maybe I should wait and see if xenoblade 2 ever re-releases with dlc added to it. Probably won't though, considering it's Nintendo.

The Pokemon press stream is starting now, and it appears to be in Japanese, English, and Chinese.

e: Huh, the Chinese audio isn't playing for me anymore, so I'm not quite sure how this is working now.

Imagine thinking a phone app that tracks your sleep is a show ending announcement.
