@JackWong47 @tyronerodriguez @edmundmcmillen True. And there is absolutely no warning or anything in the Nintendo shop (and no refunds from Nintendo in case of error of course).

@InnocenceCapit1 or just make it a cloud service if you really want to control it. These companies that are married to hardware, I dunno. Apple seems like the exception. At least Nintendo MAKES money on their consoles :)

@ThisIsCSDX @libretro It's the Roms that are the issue. Emulation is legal but you are technically supposed to own an original copy of the game to be in possession of a Rom/iso. All of those rom sites are distributing the Roms which is why Nintendo goes after them so hard. Just wanted to clarify 👍

@TheOriginalClix @The_Katbot I have a lot of issues with the smash community myself. That really doesn't have any impact on how I see Nintendo's behavior over the past decade, which has been abysmal. I get it, you hate the smash community because they're "delusional" - but my point stands. . .

@RustleWolfie I still enjoyed it on nintendo switch and I'm not blind to it's issues. Huge blind take. Yeah, they did so great to make me unable to 100 percent the game because I can't beat asteroid coaster rival rush since it crashes when I win. 2 patches later and I still can't 100 percent

@csd_gay @CursedTags years ago? yeah. problem is that between then and now Nintendo has burnt almost every last shred of good will that they had with like 2/3 of the competitive community.

@InnocenceCapit1 It's kinda what I wish Nintendo would do. Just build virtual machines (consoles in software) that run on nvidia chips, AMD, Intel ,etc and then try and integrate them with every ******* device in the world, sell your controllers and a service.

@NintendoAmerica Oh and being told that my complaints about it don't matter by the people working in your email system and being given some BS excuse about it when this is a real accessibility issue So yeah I'm not getting the HD version thanks

@Lewchube fun fact about this shiny buizel I got it last week, then the day after Nintendo banned my switch and I pulled a dumb move thinking if I maybe formatted my switch WITHOUT BACKING UP it would fix it. yeah needless to say he’s gone. RIP buizel

Atomic?
(@MightBeAtomic) reported
@LuigiBlood So this means there's no moral problem emulating satellaview gamea, since they were never made for-profit, right? Downloading a ROM online and through the satellite service esentially both give Nintendo $0.

@Doctor_Cupcakes I’ve been sitting here all day thinking how lame it’ll be that Multiversus probably won’t have much preservation due to being a service game; but then we got Nintendo over here who doesn’t even make their games accessible when the preservation options are right there. No winning.

@DJRummel the problem is that nintendo manufactured defective controllers and so the community modded the game to fix that problem. if nintendo hadn't created the problem we wouldn't need to fix it

Does anyone else have a problem ordering from the @NintendoAmerica online store, or is it just me?

@CursedTags Does everything have to be black and white? Why can’t someone still be mad about the P+ situation and previous Melee issues AND ALSO be happy about Nintendo finally properly supporting the scene in a positive way? Jfc

The virgin melee player: *Complains they won’t be able to play if Nintendo doesn’t allow the universal controller fix* The Chad @Kola_irl: *Literally made it to top 8 with a controller that had entered a toilet bowl earlier that day*
