good wholesome meme
(@BobSinkerII) reported
@YouJstGotJacked @SavedYouAClickV Are you serious? All nintendo knows is how to scam their users lol. Server upkeep is worth less than pennies per player. The price is “justified” by additional features such as friends/parties/free games/etc, its always been that way, and its always been a scam service

EA, Activision, Blizzard I can go on Nintendo just shut down a smash tourney, broken controllers and making some anniversary games limited release Blizzard was defying Human Rights EA is getting ****** across the world by courts over gambling

@SmokeComrade @CuterChihuahua2 @NintendoAmerica Same, I'd probably prefer Leon, Doom Slayer or Crash, but there is absolutely no denying that Sephiroth deserves his spot infinitely more than all of those characters combined

@SHADOWFRENZY92 The Neo-geo was an arcade system at home, so there aren't any cutbacks to the game like you'd get on the super nintendo or sega mega drive. Game had tons of other issues too. stiff controls, collision detection, etc. It was just a poor effort, and not really up to par.

@sonicsta_ Idc that he’s a Mii costume. It would be cool to have everyone’s side kick in the game. Crash needs to get in smash because he’s a big gaming icon. Tbh,Nintendo is worse than Disney sometimes

@finalmasterm0dx The Big House has hosted one tournament a year, every year, since 2011 and Nintendo never had a problem with them. Also it's Legal to make a rom of a game you own, just not share it or download someone else's, making Nintendo's assertions of Slippi requiring piracy false.

(@jygglypuffdaddy) reported
I don't buy this whole "it's OK for games to be buggy messes at launch, that's how all big games are" line because I've NEVER experienced a Nintendo game shipping in a buggy or broken state. The worst you get is some performance hitches.

@itsTeganM Honestly i feel like in the last years I've seen people be really harsh with Indies at times about quite small problems at times. While big productions, especially Nintendo gets away such crazy terrible performing games.

@TehParalyzer @TrueAchievement 100% disagree my brother is playing on an og Xbox one. It’s basically unplayable and looks like something from the Nintendo 64 era. The game is broken. It needs to be removed from stores to protect consumers.
