Nintendo, like other giant corporations, has everything at their disposal to stop piracy of their products, but they choose not to. Then they wonder why piracy is such a big issue. Probably because you allowed it to be? Just a thought.

@Nintendo It’s not our people are finding solutions to YOUR PROBLEM. You had a solution for the Wii, Wii U, and the 3DS. I fail to understand why the Switch can’t have the same solution. Emulation isn’t hard to do for programmers working in a non professional setting.

I don't really have a problem with FreeMelee or FreeSmash, cause from the perspective of someone who tries to be critical of big companies, Nintendo has been needlessly **** about competitive smash that said, I also hate smash fans and don't want them to be happy #BylethMain

@byBeli_02 Tlou2 shouldn't even be on the game awards since that pretty much sends a message saying that it's A-ok to crunch your dev team and give them a salary that is simply not worth the trouble. Acnh in my opinion doesn't deserve goty too but at least Nintendo didn't crunch their emplo

@Michael83849583 @Drewsefer89 @NintendoAmerica I don't mean this to be rude, but that does kinda sound like a you problem. Like maybe you weren't into Nintendo at the time in general. Idk, PS4 was on the way I'm just saying we have stats to work with here about how people actually feel about Wii U games and it's positive!

@SpadesEnder @McTroid Well the problem is they don't even do that often enough. I bought pikmin 3 again, and I'd buy 1 and 2 again also for 60$ but they won't even take my money. Worse is some games are stuck to old consoles and both console and game are expensive and don't make Nintendo money.

@IGN How hard is it to just make an easy service where you can just buy classic games? Look I don’t like emulating games, it feels wrong but Nintendo doesn’t provide options so I’m sorry to the richest company in japan, but we’re strapped for options atm.

There are dope developers, artists, musicians, writers, coders, etc etc at Nintendo. They make **** we ******* love. Its a bunch of corporate dummies that need a loud wakeup call to be told otherwise. And they have listened about other issues, so we need them to know about this.

@sethboothroyd @AdmiralAegis This issue speaks to a company who fails to provide sustenance to appease it's endearing fanbase. It speaks to the fact that Nintendo properties and games are even more popular than Nintendo cares to acknowledge. And it speaks to a community that feels obligated to fill the gaps.

@RapidRuby84 And that's the problem. They want it to be melee gameplay with Nintendo characters, not new characters. That's why PM was so big before it got canned.

@chad_prime Yeah and this quote would shut nintendo down. Nintendo is horrible with providing a good storefront service. They can't even discount their games for the life of them, while Valve over here is selling all of their games for 10 dollars rn

@luckeydevil @SirisTheGreat @IGN Nintendo receives ZERO of the money from secondhand copies/systems, meaning either way piracy or legitimate they neither make or lose money, so piracy is fine. It's a problem when it's current gen stuff, or stuff still easily accessible.

I will never understand why people feel the need to step up to bat for a multi billion dollar company like Nintendo on issues like this. They are a corporate entity, they literally do not care about you.

The issue Nintendo has with this 'event' is the fact it requires "illegally copied versions" of Super Smash Bros. Melee. We cannot allow this piracy to continue anymore @johannvsz @yngDonCorleone @NintendoAmerica Don't #SaveMelee

and I know Nintendo isn't one person but the legal departments and the development divisions and marketing need to all communicate for this to work. People have said for the last 3 years they don't want the online service NES/SNES crap and they just want to buy games on the eShop

@KingGeoshi64 It was bound to happen but I got my crazy theory that they are taking these small servers down and mario 35s ones to improve the online servers. It’s crazy if they would do it but I am curious since almost all the feedback I give in the webpage of Nintendo has actually happened
