@Vet_093 The problem is that if you don't remove characters like that, you don't leave enough room for, well, newcomers. And third party characters are an easy cut because you can simply take Smash back to its Nintendo roots.

@BringBackTetsu @NintendoUK They started off as PopSockets and now we have ring versions/other brands etc. They were marketed towards selfie takers but they're very useful for other things like becoming a phone stand and are also really helpful for the disabled/those with mobility issues.

@TheRedFriday @SpawnWaveMedia Because if Nintendo did fix the drift; people and consumer advocacy groups would of blasted them for planned obsolescence anyways.

As has been known for a few days now, WarioWare Get It Together has broken street date in Hong Kong. Been shown stuff without warning in DMs (which I'd rather not be the case), but won't be posting anything that's not from official Nintendo sources.

@street_trash2 @Danburden1138 Not sure looking outdated has ever bother Nintendo or us as users before. Why is that an issue now? Rather than looking outdated, I'm more concerned about it being set in the same world and feeling like a retread. Hoping that Nintendo has plenty of surprises...

If you’re buying a Nintendo Switch as your main/only console, then you should be aware of the issue of owning one. I’m tired of people complaining about a game’s optimization bc the switch always get the short end of the stick.

@Vohrsi “Emulation and piracy is a service problem”-Gabe Newell I would happily pay money for a lot of old classics on PSN and Nintendo’s eShop. Then again, perhaps they want limited access to old games so that people keep paying top dollar for new instead.

@billy_meintz @fartpissgaming @theWellRedMage Nintendo did it to stranglehold the industry - nothing to do with the american crash That's the ideal story, but it is purely business on their part, no lovely idea of them protecting the market America caused the america game crash with greed - everywhere else it didnt happen

@AllieRX @IGNWorseThan True, but to me, the anniversary kinda caused Mario fans to be also extremely toxic and nasty towards Mario, even after Nintendo kinda lied. Not impressed with why Toxicness is still a problem in many communities these days.

@p_ditty2 Actually, I think it may have to do with certain select Nintendo Switches or other condition because I just beat the story mode for Sonic Colors ultimate with hardly any glitches or problems. There were some response days at times, but nothing too serious.

Stop making noise about #SonicColorsUltimate problems on the Nintendo Switch. Don't blame the graphics engine or the developers, it's not their fault. Think instead at the Zelda: Skyward Sword HD remaster, that costs 50 euros on Amazon, for nothing more than a graphics upscaling.

@Spiteri316 @SpamOManOSpam I would be very surprised if the Oracle games aren't a part of the package if this does happen. The only way I could see there being an issue would be if Capcom holds the rights to it and Nintendo couldn't come to an agreement with them.

@Hedgegod_xotwod @KatieChrz Yeah you got your refund but maybe the Eshop system hasn’t registered yet the refund idk best next option is calling Nintendo again later and telling them the issue again and stuff

@Cinos681 I feel this is a dev issue this time. The Nintendo made ports run well or at least better then this Plus this is now segas second bad switch port, the first big one being nocturne (bad for different reasons ik, but they're both bad so point stands)

@TeamYouTube I have a problem with my YouTube App on my Nintendo Switch. Most of the times, the videos would not play, or stop showing more videos, or even show preview pictures of the videos. It's only happening to my Nintendo Switch...

@ZW_Zacattack99 @SpawnWaveMedia What Nintendo has done way worst anti consumer practice then Sony like charging 60 dollars for a wii game or pretending that there controllers don’t have problems.

@sevengranddad92 If The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition can run on Nintendo Switch without major issues, Sonic Colors can too. This is awful optimized overall.

Even if Nintendo were to suddenly announce 64 on the online portal, it'd take them forever to put it on the service. Look at people still waiting for certain SNES titles for years.

@RandomName256 I actually grew up with an N64/Game boy and then a PS2 so I know a bit of what happens outside of the nintendo releases. I did see that people were reporting issues for PS4 which was also the case for Burnout Paradise remastered.

@discord x @rNintendoSwitch @NintendoAmerica when? We have been wondering when Nintendo might bring the discord app with the online service. Make it happen 😫
