@CIownNotFound @Blububbles_ @NintendoAmerica Game would slow down from lag and I feel like that could be used to cheat high scores.

@real_MikeBarnes @sanderdassen Sure, but who cares about a few quarterly misses due to temporary problems? I could care less about about what Nintendo earns this holiday season. Full stop.

@AshHatsForAll @Pokemon You should the idea to Bloomberg to write an article. They seem to be getting Nintendo’s attention lately. There hand will be forced and they will issue a statement.

…considered “niche,” is one of Nintendo’s largest properties in Japan, to the point it regularly murders Kirby’s sales figures worldwide just in Japan alone. Another issue is Smash is basically a Nintendo vehicle, so they will nine times out of ten focus on what’s big…

Some technical issue regarding getting the AMA up. The Nintendo reddit people are (presumably) on it.

@japantimes That's Nintendo. Refusing to movie with the times, both hardware and networking wise. Their online service is one of the worst services I have encountered, unstable, slow and stuck in the '90s. The Switch is a nice handheld, a terrible home console and overpriced for what it is.

If anyone has issues connecting to the island, let me know and I'll start a new connection. Please note: Don't press the HOME key in the middle of a game while still connected online! Also, check your port-forward settings. Apparently, Nintendo wants *all* ports forwarded. 🔻

@iboudreau Did you also have the pogmaker thing like me? I turned so many Nintendo power magizines into pogs in the 90s lol. I got in trouble at school for selling them to dumb rich kids for 2 bucks a pop.

@Egario4 I am not sure about either since Nintendo would have some licensing issues with Disney if they want to include Sora and not a single Nier game has been on a Nintendo console ever, so I feel kind of hopeless about that one too

@EAHelp hello, i bought the game on pre-order for nintendo switch. the game is not working as it should. FUT has problems, manager tasks are broken. Do you have any repair forecasts?

The issue isn't access to general legacy content, publishers have shown willingness to give access to them. The issue is Nintendo and it baffles me beyond belief, if they hate emulation some much, then why dont they actually provide a worthwhile selection of legacy content!?

@IronJoeBro @Casual_PKBeats The non-issue I assume you’re referring to is 3rd party characters, but this isn’t something that shallow. This is direct competition to Nintendo. Microsoft has Steve and Banjo, but I consider those special cases because they’ve been acting goody-goody with Nintendo for a while.

@TiarnanWilliams @gangbeasts @Nintendo Things like that are kinda normal in the development community. Bugs come up, or someone takes some time off, etc. Most likely scenario is that there were some bugs that came up when porting to Switch as well as them trying to tackle the XBOX issues.

@napwack It is ridiculous and it SHOULD be complained about. If you think its okay your part of the problem. Normalising pricing like this just leads to further price hikes and poor practice. Same reason we have the trash that is nintendo/psn/xbox online. Ppl just say "well don't buy it"

@NintendoAmerica You have been awfully and painfully quite about this whole Taliban and Afghanistan issue. I don’t know what side you’re on but I’m just gonna assume you’re with them.

@IncomeTaxxx I’ve said this about how insanely understated animations go into making this fun to watch and play. Other platform fighters could fix every ‘meta’ problem we have with smash but no one can touch nintendo on animations, not even close

Putting aside the typical "If it hadn't been for Nintendo" statement, most people don't seem to realize SEGA originally greenlit Bayonetta 2 but was unfortunately cancelled following Sammy's financial problems which forced SEGA to downsize and relocate.

@pencilord @BlackSa87753364 They don't censor Nintendo first parties VISUALLY anymore (so they don't alter outfits or anything, just look at Xenoblade 2). The problem is that they do still censor dialogue. If it's "problematic" dialogue in the JP version they alter it to something completely different

@frigamarrymepls @Craffie_ @NintendoAmerica The problem is that nintendo hates emulation and piracy yet they don't make it more accesible for modern consoles, specifically the switch. Now it's either doing something nintendo hates that they want to take down, or spend over a hundred bucks on past consoles.
