@NintendoAmerica Raising money for charity safely during a pandemic > gatekeeping old, beloved games to be re-released at an absurd cost while drip feeding fans very few games with your half-baked region-locked subscription service

@CharlieHaruno Yea, honestly. Nintendo sucks. Why can't they fix their **** instead of focusing on taking down games that their fans appreciate and only want support for. Company has been going downhill for a long time now

@EverGreenTaiga You're going about this the complete wrong way. Yes, Nintendo have been making very questionable decisions lately at best, but telling people to not buy AoC, is not going to fix anything, and again, it's incredibly disrespectful and spiteful,

@AndreDrezus @serrisfroon These takes upset me so much. Nintendo won't even provide decent netcode for their latest smash game, yet we are supposed to move on the that because it's what Nintendo wants. How about they improve their netcode before asking people to pay for their subscription service.

@Tharoah Yes please do! I think the modding thing has been a known issue with Nintendo, especially if the videos are monetized. Vanilla play since their statement has been pretty much left alone as far as Im aware.

@MrGame87147385 @JamesBarto7 @NintendoAmerica So products break street date, cool, I had Pokémon Sword & Shield before the games actually released because street date was broken.

@connoranastasio @NintendoEurope @XSEEDGames It's Nintendo European not American. Nintendo Europe had nothing to do with the melee championship problem.

Nintendo: "FUNKY MODE" The joycons are a joke of a controller due solely to their horrible drifting problem. Nintendo really went from "We'll fix all drifting joycons for free!" to "Joycon drift doesn't exist" in like a year. The worst part about it is that people are learning

@npclivesmatter2 @TheQuartering Apparently you are offensive to Twitter Mr. NPCLM. I do agree with Nintendo. They want the masses to love it. If they do not take care of their brand then all of these competitive players are going to make this into another FF issue where its hard for them to get new players.

@stevenskull777 @Borderlands The Nintendo Switch Version. The massive crash affecting a ridiculous amount of players that they have yet to even admit is going on.

Nintendo is getting mad because people are using Slippi to play Melee online for a tourney. So what im hearing is: Nintendo would rather you go to a venue and risk contracting covid than play their game via ISO. See the problem? @NintendoAmerica #FreeMelee

As long as it's about THE MONEY
(@Zgants_) reported
“You SAY you hate Nintendo’s business practices, yet you STILL BUY THEIR STUFF!” Wow, it’s almost as if people can gator while being critical of pernicious aspects of it or it’s production, and boiling things to “relentless support / rejection” is a fundamentally broken standard

In n Out Fries are the worst why do they even exi
(@DrowningInPools) reported
@Dacidbro @carbonbae @OutLawStarLord9 Nintendo has had issues with tournaments that would run 20xx/ucf which just existed (mostly) to fix inconsistencies across controllers Nintendo isn't doing this over money. They just have weird issues over video game ip and competitive melee (in particular)

@BusterBlade123 @sirserpentine @NintendoAmerica Yeah have these players who play this game for a living just not play it and instead play Ultimate's online with unplayable input delay and lag

@MardukofNexus @PG_ESAM Yes it is odd, and your phrasing is very apt, they have no issue with ult tourneys. for now. If brawl 2 comes out and ult players decide to stick with ult, nintendo will be at their throats too.

@Sneaspeon Well the problem in their case is that Nintendo specifically financially endorses the Big House. If they decided they weren't going to comply it'd basically mean disowning the very company that funded it, possibly even getting sued too.

@GamingTallen @Goreshx God I wish I could be playing that now, but FedEx has other plans. Before anyone says “buy digital”, when Nintendo gets a clue on mimics any other digital distribution service, then I’d be more inclined to use their stuff.

Pirating Nintendo Games ❤️
(@Okeeeey_ok) reported
@superlunalaasgv Why is it so hard to comprehend that this is a problem with the company, not the game? "But Nintendo only published SwSh!!" This doesn't mean they just hit a magical "publish" button. They had control over the game's direction. More importantly, they make money off of it.

@Nintendo @NintendoAmerica either fix smash ultimate's online or #FreeMelee. Seriously about to drop Nintendo completely because your company is so anti community.

@haide023 @Whirblewind @NintendoAmerica Wow 1 person pirates the game and you're saying that all Melee players are subhuman trash? Sounds like you're the one with issues buddy. Don't generalize an entire community just because of one person #FreeMelee
