@Lenxaid @NintendoAmerica Yeah I agree. There is a major disconnect between the people who make the games and the people who run the company. I personally think the people there really like making good games (there are some exceptions of course) but the higher ups just are so bad at what they do.

@CnkMix @NintendoAmerica Issue is if we stop, Nintendo won't ever change their ways. And people are already tired of the story repeating itself with them.

@VirusCat_ This is only going to reduce their very own fun lmao. Like they already bought the console and games, which is all Nintendo cares. It's their own problem, when they don't make use of that and play them. Like how do you comment on this, it just doesn't make any sense lmao.

@NerdMovie1 @IntroSpecktive @NintendoAmerica And pretending that Joycon drift is not an issue considering multiple lawsuits against them.

@_YaBoiiTj_ @NintendoAmerica The game is really good except for the frame rate. I hope they either fix it with an update (if that's possible) or release a Switch Pro of sorts.

@L4Cake @SmokeComrade ...the issue with Nintendo (and Square Enix, which are also notorious for this) is that they're based in Japan where copyright is much stricter. Fair use doesn't exist and use of anything that isn't yours needs excessive amounts of permissions. For them this is normal business

yknow im pretty sure if nintendo of america was the full on headquarters of nintendo, there wouldn’t be as many issues. it seems very much so as a problem with just how the japanese department handles things rather than how nintendo as a whole is.

@pablowaslike @NintendoAmerica can you elaborate on the chinese stuff and consumer issues part. oh and also, nintendo has no control over Pokemon's main release

@Nonintitlement Nah actually liking nintendo means you try to stop them from looking like a bunch of corporate scumbags and hoping they fix their terrible community treating ways

@itshammond Yeah but honestly with past few weeks, the issues have been moral ones and not legal ones. Nintendo is morally in the wrong.

All I’m saying is that this Nintendo copyright thing isn’t a sudden new thing. Even under Iwata and Reggie it was a problem. It’s just a lot of people are now suddenly ignoring all the things that they did just to so they can strengthen their own arguments

@NintendoAmerica @NintendoAmerica Not buying anything else from you until you fix your company. If you don't support your fans then we should NOT BUY your products or support you in any way. We are in the middle of a world crisis pandemic. For Christ sake. #FreeMelee @FreeSplatoon #SaveSmash

@LONGISLANDICEDP @LiamTriforce Sometimes, an issue with how Nintendo haddles it is the problem. Only some of there games retain value. Physical copies will one day die. Nintendo will then either let them die or up-sale them (this is fine) The issue os Nintendo is content to let them die.

@theoldman2084 Probably not, and that's fine. For one I have Nintendo Power #1. The other is that I'm not really looking for rare issues, but pretty much anything containing pre-release game footage or alternate names.

But placing pre 2018 Nintendo on a pedestal and acting like it’s flawless for the purpose of demonising the company in 2020 is honestly both stupid and dangerous. Hell, last time the copyright problem fixed itself in a year or two anyway. Calm the hell down already

@g0nju If the problem is that Nintendo are a soulless corporation, stop doing protests like they're an actual single being when they're a multibillion dollar company.

People are so up in arms over Nintendo... Meanwhile I don't see the problem. To me it just doesn't matter I guess. Almost every time Nintendo gets pissed and does something like this they make it right... Or it's because of something they were attempting to do is very similar.

@csmitroyalfan2 @mathodical1018 That sucks... I broke my brother's Gameboy Christmas morning...my dad took mine out of my hands and told me I don't have a Gameboy anymore (they contacted Nintendo and got a free replacement...that was stolen from the box by someone in the postal service...lol)

@bigheccinrat @Dellime_SSB I mean it does exists but more copies are just not being produced which is why I'm fine with "piracy" if no one is losing money out of they're hard work which is why I have a big problem whenever someone says they will pirate Nintendo's current games

@Wellhel67589477 @NintendoAmerica They deserve to receive more backlash and they deserve to be shown the error of their ways more than being muted.

"If only nintendo was like how Iwata wanted it" Remember Nintendo's huge Youtube copyright problem? Remember Project M getting shut down? Remember the entire 3DS & Wii U era? All while Iwata was around how about you stop bringing up the dead to make a point

@lazerem91 @JonDillonger @TuesdayATX I think it's a pride issue for nintendo. Same reason they shut down amr2 or project m. They don't want western modders to do a better job then they did.
