  I don't get the so-called fan base attacking Nintendo left and right all the time. Nintendo Online is an online service that has to pay for bandwidth some way and I don't see an issue with them doing this.

  @AlexandreCL64 @SpawnWaveMedia no they are not as bad as CD projekt Red Nintendo doesn't lie manipulate and deceive people into buying a broken game for $60

  @KennyMaximum @23Tackier @NintendoAmerica i mean at the same time, nintendo had it coming after them, you can't **** on people for decades without expecting them to fight back. if the issue doesnt concern you, then just ignore it? not like tweets are gonna have an impact on any of you, then why bother arguing

  @Pan_Positivity @Samariooo @SavedYouAClickV The problem that people have is with Nintendo and their online service though, not with among us. The fact that you have to even buy online in the first place is what rightfully upsets people

  @NintendoAmerica we bought a brand new switch and it was broken in the box we waited like 3 weeks for it to be fixed someone told us we would get a free nintendo pass or something?

  @BadStars1 @Yoshihenry1 @NintendoAmerica i mean I’m all for this movement but this is a corporate problem. social media managers can’t do anything about their company ******* up

  @AmongUsGame ok but can you fix the way chat works on nintendo switch because it takes ages for me to argue why someone is the impostor fanks

  If we get one more Nintendo rep and 2 third party reps, I'm thinking we get one from Naughty Dog (Crash), Cinderace (As a gen 8 pokemon rep for Nintendo (Pokemon 25th Anniversary)), and then likely an indie game rep (FNaF, Among Us, Hollow Knight, etc.) We'll have to see

  @YunalesckaGames Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of Nintendo as a company, but many companies I like exclusively use their platform for consoles at least. So I’m not going to have my personal issues that I can really overlook block me from enjoying and supporting content that I actually want.

  @TacticulBacon @NintendoAmerica Then what is the problem here? The Big House knows that it could win. All it has to do is prove the claims to be false. That is it.

  @YouJstGotJacked @SavedYouAClickV The cost of nintendo online doesn’t go to the among us devs, it goes entirely to nintendo. No one is arguing the $5 price on switch, just nintendo’s policy for its service

  mrfrodough (@Theonefro) reported 25 minutes ago

  @TheFlameLegend1 @ActualAero @NintendoAmerica Its not about emulation. Emulation is legal and Nintendo cant do anything about it. Its the cash prize aspect of the tournament that was the problem for them.

  @RampziieTweets This problem could easily be fixed by account linking. Like, for example, Fortnite. You just link your Nintendo account to Epic and when you launch the game on Switch, it opens. All data being the same as PC.

  @Mixellaneous_ @jermainian @NintendoAmerica Eh I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily bad but melee can crash and burn

• 
  Zerker (@ZerkerSSB) reported 33 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica Meh, i'll stay on melee, where it's actually rewarding to play a hard game. nothing exciting compared to all the cool things i can do on smash. i'd go on ultimate since people think its the same, but nintendo really likes it when their online service is actually unusable.

  @NintendoAmerica Not really a game and more so a hobby, supporting Splatoon content creators because of that they did for the smash community. All I want for Christmas is an actual response from you guys about the current issues. #SaveSmash #savesplatoon

  @YunalesckaGames I wouldn’t twitch Nintendo because of any of this. It seems really over dramatic since a law was technically broken in the tournament. It was a copyright issue. No one has to be mad at Nintendo. And in a few months everyone will likely have moved in from it by now.

  @AmongUsGame @XboxGamePassPC @Xbox Does among us on switch require the Nintendo Switch Online service to play Online?

• 
  McBranix (@McBranix) reported 35 minutes ago

  Just because among us is an online multiplayer game that can be played online for free on PC and other devices does not mean Nintendo has to make an exception to their paid online service.

  Hey @AmongUsGame Is it just me or does the Polus map have some slowdown/lag when played on Nintendo Switch?

  Shanna 🍍🥥︽✵︽ (@PinaCocoTweets) reported 39 minutes ago

  I have spent 3 hours on chat with Nintendo only to find out the game I downloaded to my switch can’t be shared to my kid’s switches. What a waste of time. @NintendoAmerica get your **** together and fix family accounts so they can share games as play as each own’s user

  Botmaster9000 (@botmaster9000) reported 47 minutes ago

  @TacticulBacon @NintendoAmerica There is still the issue of proving that the mods and roms are illegal. They can't do that if The Big House proves that they are legal. Nintendo won't have a case.

  @NintendoAmerica @FinalFantasy Listen. Everyone in the comments. Stop bitching about Sephiroth. Sure, you didn't want him. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN OTHER PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT HIM. harassing Nintendo isn't gonna solve your problem. If you don't want him, don't buy him. If you bought the fighters pass, don't play him

  Amanda J. (@amanda_blueeye) reported 49 minutes ago

  @BlackChocobo16 Oh yeah definitely! The fact that Nintendo lost a lawsuit about this but INSIST there's not a problem angers me greatly. I'll definitely check out tutorials and see if its something I can fix myself. Hate not having my blue Joycon 😭

  @JDogindy @AlexandreCL64 @SpawnWaveMedia No they are not Nintendo is a pretty good company they treat and pay there employees well they don't put micro-transactions in there console games they don't release broken glitchy games and they are important because they're one of the only ones that make unique consoles now

  Is there a glitch that makes the switch vibrate when imposter kills? Unless it’s been a coincidence, my theory has been confirmed multiple times @NintendoAmerica @AmongUsGame

  @KrangKotobuki @TAHK0 switch theme? I'm confused I do know Nintendo and Disney worked together but this would be a bigger scale if that makes sense Sora being in smash would be a big deal and for future installments would create major issue Disney and Nintendo are both nortorious with their ips-
