@PikminNF It is absolutely a fan game and trying to argue otherwise is delusional lmao. Good luck with that splitting hairs defense if Nintendo ever issues a C&D.

@Spectralfox @chemta1e @Metalfan26 The issue isn't the $25, it's where it's going. With Taco Bell, $25 is going to quite a bit of food. $25 for Nintendo's online gatekeeping is going into executive's pockets. Our games are still p2p, and emulating games which hold no monetary value costs, unsurprisingly, no money.

Btw the problem is not only ABOUT SMASH though they are a big part of the problem. Its mostly the general public/nintendo fans who refuse to try the game

I was having lagging issue on Nintendo Switch earlier. Because of a game trying to update. I had to quit playing on it. I gonna stop playing Dungeon Survival soon and then start the watch party. The Ghost Galleon and then Screamers 1976 after that.

@Danny8bit At least the existence of Bowsette proves that Nintendo can issue DMCAs, takedown YT videos and cancel fan projects, but they could never stop the fanart.

While, Fk. There was DDos attack on huge software companies and social media. So you cant get on xbox live, Nintendo Online, etc. Search DDos on Twitter and see for yourself.

@1Pno8 No disrespect to the company, in fact I won’t be here without them, Nintendo will likely not listen to the consumers of any kind. We’d be here all day talking about kinds of problems they done in the past Overall, I would’ve love to see how the Archie Mario differs from the norm

@nintendodiirect Melee is the worst Nintendo game. It’s rushed, broken, unbalanced, and deserves to die. #freemelee is pointless and everyone is laughing at you. The Pokémon SWSH DLC is literally a scam, all it does is add content which should’ve been in them to begin with.

@my_lady_pls @ChillaxinSonic The problem is that all the artistic merit in the world doesn't translate to sales, in terms of the software and ancillary merchandise. Nintendo is positively rabid about protecting the IPs value, so they can flip that into merch sales.

@KevinKenson The problem with nintendo is that at this point the direct happened every two years. We were expecting something big.

I often wonder how Nintendo might balance the need to fully service the existing install base for Switch going back to the launch model w the need to press ahead with a pro model that keeps them in range of PS5/XSX w games that really push & take advantage of a revised chipset.

@nintendodiirect Nintendo would be much more successful with Microtransactions and they can finally catch up with the times, like their ****** online service

@Walks32437566 @Karbuitt The damage is already done to the point that Nintendo will have even more trust issues with their fans moving forward because of stuff like this happening, this maybe the soul reason why they pull the plug on the melee tournament cuz they don't want history to repeat itself

@Shoyoumomo_ god nintendo fans will defend anything nintendo does. ******* released three poorly emulated mario games for 60 bucks and now they are giving one game for 60 dollars. Spyro and Crash trilogies, and Tony Hawk 1+2 were remade from the ground up and 40 bucks.

@mogsaddiction @BestBuy @NintendoAmerica Yeah! For an item they sold that said it came with a game code. After we bought mine, our store pulled the other one from stock to keep it from happening...that shows me they KNEW it had a problem...

@jimcramer Game consoles have limited hard drive space. GameStop could create cloud storage that would service all platforms, Xbox, PS, Nintendo, etc.

@Metalfan26 Oddly I prefer Nintendo's service compared to Microsoft. For $20 I get the same thing Microsoft charges $60 for and tried to raise to $120 earlier this year. The "FREE" Microsoft stuff you really are paying for upfront and I don't use it.

@WarOnFanservice Sony, and MS for that, matter can keep their hands off Japanese devs and franchises at this point. Even Nintendo I wouldn't fully trust (it also a problem with leaving franchises dormant) but of the 3 I'd rather see that company buy something like Castlevania or Silent Hill.

@DKagemann There was no online gaming back in the Nintendo power days. Man I miss those days sometimes waiting for the monthly magazine. The problem with online is there's no anticipation or value when u can just get anything at ur fingertips anytime. #oldmanrant

@ChuggerNugget @Nintendo Thats the problem theyre not innovating. I dont want updated models give me sprites back. Make your games look good. They’re gimmicks after mega arent working. They should notice their problems and fix them. Pokemon can and should be fun. I am what Pokemon needs. I can innovate
