the problem is that they cut out all of the simulation for this, but then again can any nintendo game come close to the weird simulation levels that Tomodachi Life had going on

@paulsites1 @Helexzura I really wish the Nintendo Switch offered a game pass but I'm better off digging my way into he'll before that happens. I might end up going with gamefly (it still exists) since you can rent games through that service.

@OhNoSheTwitnt LICK BANNISTERS COWARD! all the cool kids are doing it. I’m doing it right now. well, I was before the overly zealous Nintendo faculty security escorted me out for “not working there” and “alarming those that actually do.” cowards. Bannister licking is the future!

@bahlivern I bought a Wii back in December, but i forgot Nintendo did what Sony wanted to do, they're closed wiishop and now there's nothing there. Thankfully, I heard its pretty easy to hack and emulate older games. There might be some problems if I'll have to update it again, but still

Obliviously maybe Nintendo will fix this in either a new update or a new installment years later? But again, it is Nintendo so I know better than to expect that much from them

@Stealth40k I mean it's Nintendo and is not a live service game. Not sure what people expect anymore.

@IntroSpecktive Biggest scam Nintendo ever pulled on me. Every other Animal Crossing game has villagers worth talking to and events worth doing. No DLC needed. This one shipped broken and empty in a scam to stop you from selling it used or time traveling.

Would have ended this session on 6615 if Nintendo hadn't decided to disconnect me from their shitwork so I would get a -11 in my final match. Thanks for that. Overall still +14 from 6590 to 6604 but it could've been +25. I worked so hard and it's not fair to get -11 like that...

@stopskeletons Pretty sure it was intended to be Link from the get go but they changed it in the original release for fear of getting in trouble with Nintendo

@caiokendx @MetroidLovver @animalcrossing Eh... Nintendo is kind of known for **** quality for a while now. Especially in the more recent years. This isn't news. And yes, that's among other things a budget issue. And in this specific case, it definitely is a budget issue and not the fault of the developers.

Scripulous Fingore was actually cut from New Super Mario Bros. because it bore a strong resemblance to an enemy from the Scrimblo Bimblo series and Nintendo wanted to avoid legal trouble

The fact I’m forced to play with someone I blocked THREE GAMES IN A ROW is a ******* joke. Nintendo fix ur ******* **** matchmaking code or hire someone who knows how to read.

@VideoGamerMarx @Megablack2000 @NintendoAmerica Yeah, I mean its only a month and a half away, also who will be the next smash fighter, I have 3 picks, master chief, crash bandicoot and agent 47 from the hitman series of games as a wtf pick.

@FlyingFilipino_ I mean, SMM2 is pretty broken, but no game is perfect regardless. It's funny how Nintendo tries to delete glitch showcase levels, but won't delete glitch levels that are uncleared (as often) I think showing off glitch/bugs are cool, requiring them in other levels are not cool.

@DanVerno @chuggaaconroy That's only because it's one of the oldest video game developers out there and because of so many games they make. Even then, there are MANY other franchises that go into this problem. Nintendo is just the eye catcher.

@caiokendx @GamingSheepy @animalcrossing I'm saying Splatoon is an exception to this. The live service game module works fine for online games. Nintendo did something that was industry standard, and they did it well. I'm specifically referring to when Nintendo tries to be quirky and do **** like they're doing here.

@FumeiCom Skylanders 6 on PS3 is the closest thing to an actual Crash title on PS3 by far. Funny enough, same goes to Wii U and the actual debut of Crash on Nintendo Switch (since Day 1) as well.

@saimotaa @PVNKSMUDGE Especially with the massive sales. Eh after the phone games Nintendo releases I kinda dont trust them having a live service or semi live service.

Piracy is absolutely a services issue. This is why I buy BC games from xbox etc, but for nintendo-vault I don't have any remorse

@animalcrossing Psst... Here's a secret... If you have a problem with Nintendo's laziness... STOP BUYING/PLAYING THEIR GAMES ******* Or they won't get the message. In the case of NH updates being free, if you're still playing, they'll see your engagement and figure they don't need to do more.

@kkdiscobabe I just added another Nintendo account today so that I have another house to decorate which means I have 4 accounts and 4 personal houses. I may have a problem 🤪

@JeremyGaming22 @NintendoAmerica New Leaf reuse these events too so why is this a problem? Also, not everyone got a chance to be part of these. That and this isn't an update. just letting people know that they will return.

Nintendo talking about it like it's a live service game is very weird.

@LettuceLeif Nintendo refuses to fix the many issues with their joycons. But of course it's a business. Why else would you buy extra pairs of joycons if they never break? 🤡

@caiokendx @MetroidLovver @animalcrossing He literally complained directly about budget issues. If you have budget for staffing, guess what? You have more employees. Something Nintendo does not sufficiently provide for even though Smash is a massive franchise, unlike Meteos which would naturally have a low budget.
