@steveaustinBSR @ShaneHelmsCom Ref came out from Nintendo 64 console. The glitch made him count a little too early.

Well well well... @Nintendo - some shameful practices going on lately. Stop a planned live stream with vague explanation after the community of games lashes out at you for stopping a tournament - *you* punished the innocent. Well, for now, that's my Switch Online service stopped.

@ProfessorCagan @_justadoggo @IntroSpecktive Even then the hardware is old and overpriced, they could use one of the newer snapdragons and keep the price about the same. One problem is that now people understand the power differences and have a better understanding of hardware, while Nintendo are stuck in the wii days.

@IntroSpecktive The first nintendo console I bought was the switch and I didn't like it, terrible online, 60 dollars prices that don't go down, terrible service, ******* DRIFTING OMG, etc. I'm never buying a nintendo console again.

@NintendoUK very disappointed with the service. I regret owning switch. I should’ve gone for Xbox or PS. Far better service as confirmed by my friends with PS @PlayStationUK and Xbox @Xbox .

@GlimGlamT There's nothing inherently illegal about emulation. If I use a copy of melee that I dumped from my physical disc then there's no problem. Dolphin and Fizzy (dev for online melee) aren't breaking any laws which is why nintendo isn't going after them.

@AlanBrizan @BoundaryBreak I mean the positions that people are barking to responsible of the recent outcry. Nintendo doesn’t change positions much and that has caused the recent impact of community and creativity. Problem is, who would be the right people to replace current positions who aren’t corrupt?

The weird thing about Nintendo indirectly shutting down Melee tournaments is that they now are on a collision course with having to issue official policies and guidelines for how fans can engage with their games. There’s no clean way to do that. It always ends poorly.

@Graporeon cause of all these things, it's like, just hard to enjoy smash now.. the online is much worse than Sm4sh and that drove me off before everything before now, and Nintendo isn't even bothering to fix the constant stuttering that feels like you're using a Public Dial-Up Connection-

@Yeenpup Its a modular game pad for kids with disabilities that works and attaches to the nintendo switch. The switch is super panned by the ADA for being very unforgiving for people with mobility issues so I'm looking to fix that a bit

I love playing Nintendo game and I still will play them if they interests me. But this problem that Nintendo keeps doing to the communities like Smash and Splatoon is bullshit. It goes to show how out of touch Nintendo is as a business and gaming company

@RogueTrooperYT I feel like the issue with Nintendo is more or less their arrogance and not learning from mistakes They have tried to **** with content creators, they ****** with the smash scene And each and everytime for no good reason. And each time ppl fight back

@LoxuM8 (1) Generally speaking, it's written in Nintendo's EULA that modification/distribution thereof, among other things is not permitted altogether, and they always maintain the right to issue a smackdown if they don't like what you did. That's just how owning an IP goes.

@Fizzi36 This is evidence nintendo cares about the situation. They didn't just ignore it and let the livestream continue, they flatout said "we don't want these names on our stream". IT'S WORKING GUYS! 🤩 They are actively trying to avoid the issue SO KEEP SPITTING IT AT EM! #FreeMelee

@JoeMerrick @TamashiiHiroka The problem is that nintendo's "Sponsorships" are an ultimatum. If your tournament is big enough, they will prohibit streaming of said tournament (like MLG 2010, and Evo 2013). They only let these tournaments exist if they have a slice of the pie. There is no actual.. (1/?)

@_OneForAll_____ That’s the problem. They don’t support it. I can see smash being very successful without Nintendo, but the thing is that Nintendo does not want Smash to thrive at all and will do anything to stop the smash scene from growing.

You can actually stream your dev Nintendo Switch to PC via USB-C and a tool in the SDK called Target Manager. No lag at all like in SysDVR.

Just real tired of hardware manufacturers failing me with controllers. Nintendo has the huge issue with drift that everyone's already familiar with, and my Dualshock 4 analog got a deadzone after 3 months of use. Paying $80+ for these things seems like a joke at this point.

@_OneForAll_____ It does suck and that’s another problem. Nintendo not only does not support smash, but they are also bad at supporting other games like ARMS and Splatoon. They also want those smaller games to thrive, while not even supporting smash which can be one of the biggest Esports of..

@_OneForAll_____ Saw the smash community and still sees it. In general, there are certain problems that I can understand why Nintendo would not want to support it, but overall I think Nintendo is at fault for being such a scummy company. No excuses for why Nintendo has become a **** company.

If you think Nintendo’s warning of a cease-and-desist was the 1st time The Big House knew there was a legal copyright issue, you’re crazy. The two parties, and Slippi developers, almost certainly had been in talks for months. But that doesn’t fit the victim narrative.

@alexlikesgoats we also have a problem with Nintendo itself not really helping us the community and out right hurting the melee community.

@NintendoAmerica Can I get your 2DS refurbished page back instead, rather than the 404 error it gives? I'd like to give you money for one, but can't considering as how there are yet still 2/3DS games in your store and active catalogue but no systems you're selling that play them. Please help.

The whole Nintendo/Melee/Splatoon kinda feels sad to watch. There’s a sort of disconnect going on and I’m not sure how to feel.

@uziair @TempoAxe ok yeah you're right, but i don't think that nintendo should stop the little support it gave to us because of a problem that was eventually solved, as all those people were banned. besides, even before that, nintendo still didn't give a **** about us

@ReoAyanami Can you clarify what you mean? I’m having trouble getting it, do you want people who think Nintendo shouldn’t associate with melee to stop buying Nintendo products?

@TheWillieCorley What was the problem with that hashtag? This is the one place Nintendo has really got to get with the times They are way ahead of Sony and Microsoft in every other respect, but totally stuck in the 1980's when it comes to IP and public reference Stupid Got it, @NintendoAmerica?

@Blazeen91 @CassandraRules Easier than you might think. People WANT to like their favorite vidya companies. Xbox red ring issue? Xbox fans still love their systems. The Nintendo Switch's terrible launch issues? A beloved system now. Bethesda's... bethesdaing? Fans beyond counting

@JoeyMarkham @TamashiiHiroka @JoeMerrick they can't account for that obviously, but f they want to keep people from pirating, they should make the game available. Nintendo hates piracy but goes about the "problem" in the most *** backwards anti-consumer way possible
