@MaxWinston44 @UmbraTrainer @PeonySimp Bro did you actually believe the "technical issues" thing? It's common sence that was a lie Why does everytime Nintendo does something shitty you try to defend them?

I miss Iwata and all that he did for Nintendo he was truly a person that loved video games but something he loved more was the community Nintendo need to do quite a lot and try to fix as much wrong as they have in they past few months! RIP Iwata

@Pynndraggon We all know that story, i'm just saying that is sad they "sacrificed" PM years ago to get more recognized by Nintendo (also for money lol), just to have the same problem years later. They've dropped the "grassroots" state of the community countless times anyway

Getting a Switch was good too but I'm having trouble say that properly Nintendo's being a **** and I've had to get my controllers repaired like 3 times or so this year.

Only communists hate Nintendo. Sorry that your tournament stream has been shut down, but if you actually went through the legal channels, this wouldn't have been an issue. Hate me if you want, I support Nintendo's decision to protect its IP's, as is their right to do so.

@Walrus_9000 On one hand, Etika's death is disheartening and I'm glad he's getting people to discuss their problems. On the other, I'm sure if he were alive, he'd be just as appalled by how Nintendo is operating now as everyone else is, so I'm glad he died before this sordid story unfolded.

@beaniecapprints I feel like at this point, everyone is just reaching their tolerance level with Nintendo’s BS business practices. I knew but had some hope they would get their **** together with these problems eventually.

@racecar935 @SUP3RK1R8Y @PoorlyAgedStuff It could be opened if Nintendo simply just... lightened up on their damn policies surrounding emulators, but Nintendo is apparently more concerned with screwing over their fanbase than with providing actual quality service.

@MaskedAnimation @Bigladman3369 The problem is for some reason Nintendo has seemed anti-Melee for years likely because they want modern smash to take center stage so they're unwilling to verify these are legal copies and will just send a threat to organizers in order to scare them out of doing the tournament

@CeHache91 @IAMTHESLIME_ Nobody's saying what Nintendo did wasn't illegal. Your screencap circumvents the issue: Nintendo approached this in the worst possible way. Yes, the issue is of copyright nature, the site selling the "Etikons" listed the products as modded joy cons. [1/2]

Nintendo sucks but god damn some of you are really out here spreading misinformation about the Etika Joycons, that happened to all joycons the user was selling, and the problem was that the joycons incorporated the switch logo into the design

What the actual **** is Nintendo's problem lately? These past few days go beyond being a bruh moment, their archaic anti-consumer practices are just embarrassing anymore.

@SFVM4n God, Switch online play... Absolute garbage. Nintendo had like 13 years to catch up to Microsoft and Sony, charged for internet connectivity and then delivered a service comparable to what was on the Nintendo Wii. At least that was free!

@TheSauseGod29 @rikuotanakaID @AStartShow Nintendo arrogance goes back to the NES. They've been doing it a LONG time. They'll have a popular system or two, get SUPER arrogant, then crash extremely hard and have to actually do the right thing for a system in return.

@Nintendo how hard is it to make controllers that dont drift, i had the some xbox controller for 5 years and it has zero problems and yet its been barely 2 years and joycons dont even allow me to play my games because of how bad they are drifting.

@Footaction you need to fix your inventory system. Held my money for a week then canceled my order because you oversold and can’t fulfill!! @puma @NintendoAmerica please use a better vendor next time you collab to sell your product, the Rider NES is such a dope shoe!!

@bananabot24 @UwuCassidy @PaddedShells He doesn't, however, he is in close partnership with them, so anything he says on the matter that goes against Nintendo could spell trouble for Sora Ltd. (his company) and Smash Ultimate as a whole.

So they see no issue with being anti-consumer. Said consumers will just take it on the chin and support them yet. I know I have no room to complain. I'm the same way. I'll buy the Switch Pro, Switch 2, w/e they'll be called. I still love Nintendo but they make stupid decisions.

@DynamoSuperX The first two I can at least understand. Still incredibly shitty and inexcusable, but I at least get how Nintendo thinks they may lose money. But the Etika Joy-Cons? What the actual **** is Nintendo's problem? Now they're just being killjoys for no reason at all.

—eventually making them limited, then ending it by scoffing at a legitimate hardware issue that tons of consumers have experienced, as well as slapping some of the most dedicated Nintendo communities towards their face.

Here's my problem with this whole Nintendo thing. Everyone's just publicly outraged online over it, and it makes sense, but so long as everyone then turns around and buys the next Smash DLC or the next Mario game, Nintendo's going to continue to engage in these practices.
