@TAFKAB2 @charlieINTEL Not to mention Microsoft would lose a **** ton of money by making COD exclusive and they would get into HUGE trouble for breaking MULTIPLE legally binding contracts that they would have with Sony, Nintendo, and Steam. It’s pretty simple “nicklenut”

@AldoRadiance @Elam1992x @Technicals_ I mean it’s not like Nintendo doesn’t have the OG files. They could literally just emulate it on their modern hardware and so many problems would be solved.

Nintendo/CAPCOM will re-release the original games randomly, and feature characters/stages in other games as fan service (Captain Falcon, etc. in Smash Bros., Cody, Guy, etc. in Street Fighter) but won’t just go and make a modern version or remake.

@jarod_frye @Technicals_ It would be great if Nintendo listened and ported melee to modern hardware so none of this would be a problem, but Nintendo is a stick in the mud.

@ChitoGaminYT Sony does realise that every Nintendo system has had games for them specifically with older audiences in mind. Plus they seem to also forget, their first two big mascots were Crash and Spyro,two series made for kids.

@aegies Game Pass is MS’ vision for the future of the XBOX platform. It also appears that they want that service on as many devices as possible. Why would Sony, Nintendo etc. ever put that service on their devices unless they had to. I think MS wants to get to that point IMO.

@StormFlare2296 Yes and I want the server to break down completely so that Nintendo can finally fix it properly from ground up this time. 😈

@lulumeservey MS has previously made promises and broken them, FTC states that in their argument. Also, when did Nintendo give a statement or agreement to 10yeat deal.

@BenjiSales Really the issue is why is a company that hasn't been able to compete with Sony or Nintendo with their in-house studios is allowed to buy up massive amounts of the industry? That's not normal

@luci_4k 2/2 The new weapons vary between good and absolutely atrocious. (Plus I haven't played but heard X battles are worse than S+). And no brella buff. If Nintendo would listen a bit better and fix some things it will be perfect but it's Nintendo so you never know.

@TheFakeSteven @Technicals_ Except the ruleset isn't the issue. Changing the ruleset is not Nintendo's Problem. It's the fact that they are using modifications for it. Name ONE Officially Supported Fighting Game tournament that uses fan made mods. Don't worry I'll wait.

@Shannon_Liao @Cat_Zakrzewski I love how the FTC is conveniently disregarding all the shady exclusive deals Sony does to block Microsoft and Nintendo from getting certain games, BUT THIS is a problem now... The hypocrisy pisses me off so excuse me while I remove myself from this topic.

@NintendoAmerica Is it intentional on Mario Kart to make P1’s icon stay above all the other players; even though P1 isn’t in first place? Is there anyway y’all can fix that cause it’s counter productive to the map & understanding what place somebody is in.

(@LoopBarnard) reported
@Technicals_ @davidsoberg01 @_suw_ These are pretty extreme examples, too, whereas Melee has simply opted to increase accessibility by fixing inconsistent controller issues and freeze Stadium. Logistically, Nintendo should have no problem with PM, let alone the QoL fixes to Melee.

@blowdart @filipnavara I did use a third party service to generate a one time use card to buy a sketchy-*** Nintendo DS card reader from a sketchy-*** website that screamed "probably fraud" but I really wanted that device if it was real. And it was. But I'm happy I did the single use card.

@lulumeservey Yes. The FTC's decision ignores workers, Nintendo players and people in emerging countries who are unable to purchase Call of Duty out of service. It's just ridiculous. I hope they lose in court because I want to play Call of Duty.

@charlieINTEL Seems as that Sony is just as much as a cry baby as it's community lmao. They been having "exclusive" content for years. Now it's an issue? They made a deal with Nintendo and steam a 10 year deal at that. Only Sony didn't accept it lol

@didyouknowgamin @NintendoAmerica Wonder if it was actually them or a DMCA troll masquerading as them. DMCA is a broken mess after all. Artist community has been a target for such trolls for years.

(@MOGAAAAARRRR) reported
@WolfieForex @GearhartReese @charlieINTEL It’s holds zero ground. The Bethesda deal was a case by case basis. Not everything will be exclusive. As for the 10 year deal with CoD, Microsoft literally offered the deal to Sony and they said no. Nintendo and steam both said yes. Sony is the only one who has a problem.

Maybe Microsoft should spin out Game Pass and do a deal with Nintendo and Sony? Similar to what Disney and Universal did with Hulu? Pay for one subscription service and get access to a huge library of games across all the consoles/PC? Maybe Steam’s in on this too? 🤷🏻

Redbaron
(@BaronVonRichard) reported
@MaxMad0 @klobrille Activision is more than a game dev company is what the main issue is. It's a major publisher and the concern is buying up publishers as a deterrence to other companies like Nintendo and Sony and could easily turn into a monopoly if it's not handled correctly.

(@Alejandroid1979) reported
@BriannaRoseBLM @_TruthTeller__ Exactly... This is 100% not the position they wanted to be. They were clearly desperate bringing smoke and mirror contracts to Nintendo and Steam. They know with this they are in trouble and will need to spend lots of money because of this. Probably even renegotiate with Acti

@BluDYT @TristanAC0 @FTC Thats one of the FTCs issues. They have already shown they will make games exclusive, starfield, elderscrolls 6 etc after they bought bethesda. And a declaration with nintendo just before the FTCs decision was just lip service.

(@SnapBlastPLAY) reported
@lulumeservey I can’t believe how uniformed the FTC are, 99% of people on Twitter have better knowledge of the industry. In absolutely no universe does trying to stop this deal make any sense when you look at Sony, Tencent, Nintendo. Surely they realise ONLY Sony has an issue here Insane

@oipurplpe44620 @BEETHOVEN1195 @bdsams All three have their problems. Don't forget when Sony was the only one blocking crossplay when even Nintendo was okay with their consoles being able to play with other platforms.

@Seu1ira @juliangough That's the thing, I don't see how someone could do something creative and transformative with something as short as this that Microsoft would have taken issue with in the first place. It's not like it's a piece of Nintendo music. The transformative possibilities seem very limited

@arkclaimer Well I don't have any problem with Nintendo, But just the Joy Con Drift issue. Would like to know more of what it going on with this Nintendo Systems Co., Ltd. thing with DeNA.
