I'm not going to say anything about the Nintendo issue anymore. But I still say that it is horrible to profit from the death of a person

@nickvalentine0 @NintendoAmerica It’s still an autocorrect error. I’m not deleting a post because one stupid typo. 99.9% of people will know what I mean. Why can’t you let it go? Do you literally have this pathetic of a life?

@nintenmau5 I finally got around to contacting nintendo about both of my left cons drifting, got em back in under two weeks and haven’t had the issue since thank god

That's why Nintendo gave the excuse "illegal copies of Melee", because the mod is not the problem, the emulation is

Imagine if Nintendo supported their modding scene like Bethesda does with Skyrim! They could even hire them to fix their shity games and online. Remember that one incredibly awesome fan-made online for a 20 year old game and Nintendo can't even make a functional online smash game

The only thing I don't see Nintendo 's side on this week is the Etika Joycon issue. Money was going to charity so they should have let that slide imo.

Nintendo: -wants to stop making console games and move onto mobile game developement -started half-assing their games, selling us the fix -continually assaults the smash community -cancels splatoon tournament over protests -C&Ds Etika Charity I think Nintendo just wants to quit.

Something really bizarre happened this month - I got back into playing the Nintendo Badge Arcade on 3DS. Because the service has permanently stopped adding new content, it gives all players two free crane attempts daily with the chance to earn more via the practice machine.

@Pokezard I know Nintendo’s done that before with like kid Icarus n some stuff, And I think it’s fair cuz they have a massive day 0 & day 1 patch that are gonna fix a lot of the visuals LOL

@RadiaUmbra I know, that’s the problem, they’re not real fans if they’d turn their back on Nintendo this easily, there has to be some logic behind why Nintendo did what they did

@LephemStar91 This has been a problem for way longer. Nintendo fans have been after and against fangames and emulation, just because Nintendo says that they're bad and makes them think that they're illegal...

@DOOM_SSBM Don’t really feel this is a good comparison at all tbh. The whole point of my argument is that representing Nintendo as a single entity is the problem. It’s not separating art from artist, it’s acknowledging that Nintendo as a company is made of 6200 employees

@Saberspark The fact that you identify as an outsider and still identified the issue so accurately just goes to show how awful Nintendo is being.

@Pikaces @Monoxzide42 @NintendoNews Oh, 100%! That would have been the must smarter move. It would have avoided this entire thing. Nintendo probably would have said no, but at least it would have avoided this issue!

@Nintendo issued a cease and desist to a guy making custom Etika joycons. What in the actual **** is their PR team thinking right now? Like "Let's cancel a HUGE event centered around one of our 19 year old games that uses a fan service because WE SURE AS HELL WON'T SUPPORT IT AND

Since Nintendo likes to play the "Silent Game", then allow me to start my own. Anyone interested, I ask that out of support for the Smash Community and the Splatoon Community, as well as in response to the C&D issues against the Etikons, Uninstall those Nintendo Mobages... (1/2)

@OPickleodeon @LiamTriforce Well this just goes back to the "service problem" argument. If fans create a game that threatens the popularity and sales of an official Nintendo game (which PM did not) then why can't Nintendo just license the fan game?

@Sharito742 @videogamedeals I've heard people have a lot of issues with drifting from these controllers, I beleive usually after a year of use. You might do better to just use joycons sense you can get them fixed for free from nintendo. If you know someone/could replace the stick yourself then its np

Nintendo will probably not issue a statement on this disaster they caused for themselves. They'll just silently tally up the people who aren't blindly supporting them and look for a way to retaliate against fans. #FreeMelee #FreeSplatoon

@BoundaryBreak Honestly, when I look all the way back to the harsh 3rd Party contracts of the NES days, to choosing importance on piracy over creative freedom and sticking to carts for the N64, to the NCP to now... It seems like Nintendo of America is the problem *is still the problem* 🤔

@j_n_foster Milo is very upset that we won’t buy him a Nintendo switch and somehow I feel like these are similar problems?

@PhilTheGM i looked into it further and yeah, it’s an issue with the joycon boyz logo being on the right con. though i wonder if nintendo has a copyright on both “Joy-Con” AND “Joycon”.... blegh now we’re getting into legal semantics

@Andy_Bundy @SpaceshipYoshi @NintendoAmerica I'm not too familiar with the full context of the current issues, but famously NintendoJP has ignored NintendoAmerica's advices and fan conserns in the past

@splattown @Scykoh I can’t speak to why they do it, but they have a reputation to uphold worldwide. This C&D thing isn’t helping them, but they must think it’s better than any trouble they could get in if fans make their own Nintendo products.

@bananabot24 @TrifSmash I mean maybe? I don't think Nintendo corporate is actually talking to anyone about anything when they make these decisions, that's the problem. If they had someone actually lay it down how stupid they are being that might make a difference.

Nintendo won’t fix the overall joycon drift problem but they’ll hand out C&Ds for a custom Joycon for charity?

(@Jamie_B125) reported
@nintenmau5 No, that's because we are choosing to buy new instead of report/repair/complain so it isn't going down as a drift issue but rather just a new sale :) then we moan online about how our joycon had drift but Nintendo itself won't officially know.

And even with the dev cubes, didn't nintendo then a while after launch fix that? And if it's about the camera, then didn't nintendo update it to change whether its inverted or not?

@NintendoPwrHour @Monoxzide42 @NintendoNews Now that you mention that, wouldnt have been a smarter move from the creators of this joycons to first consult nintendo about copyright before selling the product? There are a lot of custom controllers that i guess do that first to avoid legal issues.
