@1winqel @radsaza Not to mention you have to connect to WiFi before playing downloaded games so if you leave the house and aren't near wifi your ******. Dumbest antipiracy feature yet. Fix your **** Nintendo.

@Wisecup0 @NintendoAmerica Could've save yourself the trouble by doing your homework aka researching the character ironically enough.

@danypatrol @OrigiGreatness Sony fans are many. And nintendo fans are also not fond of Gamepass. Nintendo doesn't even have their own GP service.

@BrotherBodhi_ @SkillUpYT It's the price that's pissing people off. You get full trilogy remasters like Crash or Spyro that launch at 40 usd from Activision of all companies while Nintendo does a bare bones port and slaps a 60 usd price tag on it. A port of a game that launched at 50 usd.

@Carmylite I just can’t even when I see it. It’s even worse that they’re all competing in different ways now? Nintendo’s gonna Nintendo. Xbox is a service. Sony’s staying fairly traditional.

@Neoxon619 It is now. Not my fault they’re poor at optimization. Don’t imagine it’s just that with all the internal namco games skipping switch. Besides, smash is a game for Nintendo fans. If they generally don’t know of them then that’s a bit of an issue

@panthorium @OGG1993 You mean the problem that literally every company is facing Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo and every company can't really manage that,that's on publishers like Ubisoft/Sega/EA etc Sure thing, i can send you all of it once i'm home, so yeah no problem if you can wait a bit

@DankMaro @ExpandDong15 @NintendoVS I hope you guys realize Crash and Spyro have almost no chance of becoming DLC. Not because of Nintendo but because of Activision and CEO Bobby Kotick. He is one of the greediest men in the world and will ask for stupid amounts of money for either of them. Remember PS All-Stars?

@DioptaseSystem 🍒 PS1 was easier to develop for because it had a limit of ~650MB per CD (and you could use multiple, e.g. FF7), and N64 was basically limited to one expensive cartridge Nintendo tried and failed a really hacky fix for this (the infamous 64DD) that only sold ~15K units in Japan

@CartridgeGames As long as the character has appeared on a Nintendo system at least once, it shouldn’t be a problem. And Smash has yet to go against that.

@DioptaseSystem 🍒 however, the whole project is notable for being Nintendo's first attempt at online games and it even had an internet browser with no surviving footage (they shut the service down in 2001 after two years), and most of its projects moved to carts, GameCube, or other consoles

@2027Dante @SPgamer786 Do you sound like a little whiny little B. For one this is emulate , emulates are legal , The ROMs are in a gray area. Plus Nintendo knows about this. Xbox One been doing this for years. If Nintendo has a problem with this this would have been stopped. shut up you hater cry baby

@carneasadafri @f0x_engine This quote applies to live service games. Nintendo fans are using this argument even though the majority of their games aren’t live service.

My @EA account is linked to my Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation accounts. Yet it is an absolutely impenetrable account because of a defunct email that I had to quit using because some ******* (probably from an EA data leak) hacked it. Fix this, @EA.

@dont_be_cilly They have games on Nintendo platforms But I understand why people want them so badly Crash would have been interesting, but his movesett would be pretty boring and uninteresting, just like Banjo Doom guy would have funny, but he seems a bit to violent Sans has to be a joke

@thomas_rsvd Sadly it's been effected by the "free update" syndrome. Was an issue with ACNH, Mario Tennis, and a few other of Nintendo's recent games. To me, just seems they found a much nicer way of saying "Early Access" >:I ...Still like this dumb little golfing game, too. Dammit Nintendo!

@NintendoUK Hey when are you going to actually redesign and fix the Joycon issue instead of just carrying on making the cheap junk and offering replacement parts over and over? Remember when you had a “seal of quality” worth a damn?
