@NintendoUK How do you cancel orders made in error on the Nintendo Store? It appears to be impossible. Thanks.

@OrdinaryGamers It’s hilarious how their reasoning basically amounts to “it might hurt nintendos feelings” **** Nintendo man, they wouldn’t have these issues if they kept virtual console

@monzo I want the Mario coin to be the money in noise, or would that be a copyright issue? Surely Nintendo can’t copyright a ding

@MaxFD92Z @AlyannaMcKenna @ModernVintageG Yeah, so? The issues being created are still, in fact, nintendo being mad we're playing games we can't even buy anymore for consoles 2 generations back max. The statement stands.

Let's-a go! Go repair your Switch controllers, free of charge. We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring technical problem with irresponsive Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!

@KlobbyF @XgamingpassX34 @VGChartz I don’t actually care. that’s not my problem. lets see how sony respond and reshape their strategy: remember Nintendo is outselling both without these games. they almost died then chnaged their strategy and now are on top again.

@chriva404 @ModernVintageG Apparently, it's due to legal issues with Nintendo. Microsoft Storo technically doesn't allow emulator either. Also, Dev mode is still available

@BewbsOP @AlyannaMcKenna @ModernVintageG Nintendo and Microsoft have some license agreements, like Steve or Banjo in Smash, Microsoft games on Switch and other collaborations, MS doesn't want to have problems with Nintendo that can affect those agreements

@Kmega4 No you don't. She's supposed to judge it as a movie and as a movie it doesn't do a great job to explain what's going on. You just have to know. I'm a gamer, I'll enjoy it even though I don't care very much about Nintendo properties. The movie is fan service but not a good movie.

@jeremysmiles The real issue is the sonic movie reviewed better and the tensions of the sega Nintendo wars of 1992 have flared up

@waight_joshua @GeekyZombieKing Agree although in the mid 80’s I think consumers had had enough hence the crash of the video game market which is pretty well documented. Any rate, Nintendo seems to have gone off the rails in terms of quality judging from what I’ve seen in the Online shop these days 😝

@AlyannaMcKenna @ModernVintageG I love the phrasing "can create issues with Nintendo" lol. Like what issues. It makes them upset? Us playing some games we can't buy anymore makes them upset and that "creates issues?" Besides, there are also emulators for microsoft and sony that are blocked, not just nintendo.

@KoreaXboxnews The main issue is that Xbox in Japan has almost no presence when comparing with Nintendo or Sony. Western people will play It, for sure. But Japanese dev. first sells on their market. The, it comes the rest of the world

@Mr_Beacon00 Konami and Metal Gear officials haven't made any statement from the time the Nintendo eShop service was decided to end until it was closed. This is terrible. If they can't resell the eShop by the end of the service, they should explain it in advance.

@RAINCODEMirage @Athenayttdfan @SpikeChunsoft_e Probably international laws or something, Nintendo's original accounts had no issue including the character, only in English accounts.

Mario movie. The fan service and the references were good. Bowser was good. Killer performance. Gets some great moments that weren’t in the trailers. I liked that they showed us parts of Mario’s life that Nintendo is too scared to. I liked Giuseppe.

@OrdinaryGamers They did that to avoid legal issues with Nintendo and we all know how aggressive Nintendo is when it comes to stuff like this

@MrCartoonLover7 @LarryLurr I think the problem is that we know the original Mario plot way too well. But for kids that are new to the series, it's a lot more interesting and I'm sure Nintendo plans to flesh out the world in sequels.

@MaxFD92Z @AlyannaMcKenna @ModernVintageG lol, the problem is nintendo getting up at arms about it. Your exact argument is why they *shouldn't* care. You're literally arguing my point *for me.* It's idiotic that they're upset about us playing discontinued games in the first place!

@OrdinaryGamers From a Microsoft rep: "While emulating itself is not illegal, it can be used to play games from consoles that are still under copyright protection without permission, which can create issues with Nintendo and its affiliates." So that "behavior" is cuz nintendoesn't like it
