@shantae4smash Didn’t Nintendo censor Bayonetta for Smash 4 and Ultimate with no issue once so ever meaning that Shantae can also be censored with no issue if she were to be in Smash?

@MojangSupport I’ve been running into issues when playing on Nintendo switch with friends and solo, it’s mostly been having an issue with my inventory not loading and piglins and my chat bar not loading and having to wait a while for it to load. Anything I can do to fix it?

Did you know that for the first 15 episodes of AVGN, the show was called 'Angry Nintendo Nerd'? Yeah And the reason why he rebranded to 'Angry Video Game Nerd ' is because ScrewAttack, the organization that James Rolfe partnered with, didn't wanna deal with any trademark issues.

@ShaneWatch I remember, back during the great console wars, the Saturn intrigued me. I was a Nintendo fanboy, that became a turn coat and briefly flew the flag of Crash Bandicoot. But the Saturn.. I knew nothing about.. it was strangely exotic. Sadly, still the only modern console Ive missed

Really wish there was more of a focus on handhelds like before. Only one left is Nintendo. How sweet would it be if there was a new Vita and finally something from Microsoft. I know streaming games is the focus now. But that requires really fast internet. Even then, there’s lag.

@MatttGFX What's wierd is this HAS to be an issue from NoA, because if it was Nintendo JP, they wouldn't have allowed Link to ba characterized in any version of the game, period. NoA seems to really hate good writing, ro at the very least good characterization.

@Tek_streams There is still the issue of the game itself being entirely based off of an existing property without the consent of the ip holder. This is why Nintendo was able to take AM2R down.

In seemingly a vein attempt to correct the wrong that Nintendo's marketing department and the other developers that worked alongside Miyamoto, he attempted to censor the peace sign in order to give Mario an edgy character...

Nintendo Switch Online is a service that can be best described as "You get what you pay for." I don't think it's a great online service compared to PS+ and XBL but for the value it's offering giving you free NES and SNES games along side playing games online it's good enough
