I've been trying to watch a friend play Tomadachi Life through GameChat on the Switch2. It keeps disconnecting very briefly after starting streaming, she can stream it for maybe less than a minute before it boots her from the call. When she first started streaming it, we didn't have this problem at all.

Network speed tests on the Switch all come back fine, problem happens regardless of network quality, so we checked the nintendo troubleshooting page out of curiosity and I saw this. When I go through the link it gives, I can't actually find any details about current outages anywhere (she lives in north USA, I live in the UK). Does this little window just show up no matter what? I would assume it meant there was a current outage, but the lack of one on the link is confusing me.

Because everything was fine the first time we tried to stream, and her connection is fine, I'd accept maintenance/outages as the reason for our problems but I'm just a bit confused by this saying there is one, and the portal saying there aren't any. Somebody more knowledgable being able to clear this up would be really appreciated!

Normally I like the little gimmick decks they make every set (like Magmortar/Electrivire recently) and I think the regis are neat, but this takes a comical amount of setup. Regigigas' ability means the entire board has to be regi's, but that means you can't have any ramp (unless you deliberately let the ramper go down). You have to run triple energy if you want all of the regis to be able to attack, instead of being guaranteed bench warmers. And all of this is for basics with just kinda alright HP and passable damage. Keep in mind if any of them go down, Regigigas' effect procs and it can't attack anymore, so you couldn't leave Regice out to get taken down for example.

This isn't even addressing how bad all the other new Regi's are themselves to boot. None of them really cooperate with each other. Regice is probably the funniest, moving energy to strand itself and then breaking Regigias' effect. I just can't see any way you get this gimmick to work without your opponent getting super unlucky lol. Might be fun for offline battles at least :p
