    @JohnnyLockson @NintendoAmerica The only problem is in the loading time tho

  • CrashSpyroBanjo Biker Crash (@CrashSpyroBanjo) reported

    @LonelyGoomba Problem with this argument is that it points the finger at Nintendo rather than the law makers. Getting mad at someone doing what's in their legal right does nothing. Asking law makers to revise something that could be considered outdated or wrong is the true way to fight it

  • AxoLofa AxoLofa (@AxoLofa) reported

    nintendo. give us a streaming service for your songs already. people will stop uploading your osts if you make them readily available. provide an alternative, because they are techincally breaking the law.

  • mario_adv2nture 🇳🇱Rashaen K. Rahman🇸🇷 (@mario_adv2nture) reported

    @Foulowe59 @Sora_Sakuraii Thing is when Nintendo had the whole fuss with YouTube when they that stupid Nintendo's creator program, NoA actually said themselves that they don't have any problems with it and that Japan is the one who's making them do the copyright bs.

  • manymanylions santifa claus (@manymanylions) reported

    everybody shitting on nintendo as if they don’t let thousands+ creators use their games (AND OSTs) to make profitable content literally every day with no issue. like free melee sure but get a lil perspective jfc

  • slimjiminem I’m a Saiyan, from Krypton (@slimjiminem) reported

    At first this whole Nintendo thing was something I thought was just a small issue that would blow over in a couple of weeks/months but now I’m genuinely wondering what ******* clown is in charge.

  • ZombehDad ZombehDad (@ZombehDad) reported

    @Griggity What's not to understand. More people play bethedsa games on playstation and nintendo then xbox. How is this hard to understand ? Xbox is at the bottom . No one buying their consoles anymore Nintendo and sony dont have this problem. Makes perfect bus sense. Ms wants that 7.5 B

  • SlarioJaeger Slario Jaegerjaquez aka Mr.Snickles (@SlarioJaeger) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Thanks for a broken Pro Controller. Tried to use it on PC since it was said that it would work with it. Yeah..Doesn't work at all. Thanks Nintendo.

  • ArcedPendulum Arced Pendulum #BlackLivesMatter (@ArcedPendulum) reported

    @Linkrules2716 @BrendanCurry10 @NintendoAmerica Except when Nintendo gets a pass when they sell broken controllers

  • Skadoosh9001 unknown.jpeg (@Skadoosh9001) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please fix two player mode, that **** runs like someone broke it's kneecaps

  • NateROCKS112 Nathaniel (@NateROCKS112) reported

    Everyone's treating #FreeMelee like some isolated incident from Nintendo and not like a more systemic issue with our morally bankrupt copyright law. There are also those who think "it's illegal" is a good moral defense. These people probably also support the war on drugs.

  • Untamed_Ghost 🎄🌙Darkling Gaming🌙🎄 (@Untamed_Ghost) reported

    @Marshmallo_san I think it might of been one of the original switches that just gets random issues. So I have emailed Nintendo uk about it and how much it will cost. They haven't replied yet apart from an email saying they have seen my email. Maybe I should open a chat with em.

    @SleepyShivers @rikaidou @Mlickles Nintendo has plenty of creativity and even respects their employees. It's all just the consumer relationship that's the issue. Yet no matter what it just never seems to harm them and their quality products don't help the matter.

  • Rebochan Rebo Still Loves Kaito (@Rebochan) reported

    @LiamTriforce You wanna make a megathread about issues with the behaviour of Nintendo to its community? Go wild, you're not lacking examples. But don't prop up another wildly abusive company's business practices to do it.

  • PerseusRage EL Fredy - Fase 3 🦠 (@PerseusRage) reported

    @SykinSG @NintendoAmerica wow, that is not the problem at all, it´s about making money without licenses for logos and names and then claiming adding value to those products, wow, you actually think you´re right even if you´re terrible wrong amazing

  • Rebelli19131229 Rebellion (@Rebelli19131229) reported

    @NintendoUK First show us love by listening to the PEOPLE that BUY your stuff and got YOU where you are today. 1. MAKE BETTER QUALITY JOY-CONS 2. IF YOU CAN'T THEN DON'T FORCE PEOPLE TO BUY 2 WHEN THEY ONLY HAVE 1 BROKEN. 3.WHEN YOUR CUSTOMERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PRODUCT THEN LISTEN!!

  • BlueStreak62391 BlueStreak62391🇨🇦 (@BlueStreak62391) reported

    @TrueBrenden060 If I did that I’d be even more behind on my games. I’m not going to stop playing Nintendo consoles just because of a few little issues, little ridiculous.

  • PerseusRage EL Fredy - Fase 3 🦠 (@PerseusRage) reported

    @Noobstoise @NintendoAmerica "treat their fans like trash", another drama queen with no understanding of any legal issues of logos and names.

  • ItsaMeNina ❄ Nina ❄ (@ItsaMeNina) reported

    @RikuSSBM @soul_societyy Nobody denying that doesn't mean nothing bad happened while he was in charge Nintendo's youtube copyright problem, PM getting taken down, hell the entire 3ds/wii u era and not to mention the evo 2013 incident The only difference is that all of this is back to back

  • aolpr Miguel (@aolpr) reported

    I have a suggestion for alienated Nintendo fans who take issue with Nintendo's behavior toward fan projects (which is in accordance with U.S. IP law): armed insurrection.

  • ItsaMeNina ❄ Nina ❄ (@ItsaMeNina) reported

    @RikuSSBM @soul_societyy Nobody denying that but nothing was better when he was around Nintendo's youtube copyright problem, PM getting taken down, hell the entire 3ds/wii u era and not to mention the evo 2013 incident

  • Wellhel67589477 Rad (@Wellhel67589477) reported

    @KingBobbyG @puftendo @NintendoAmerica Yeah so he can still continue doing it just by removing the Nintendo logo cuz he didn't take license from Nintendo and it's going get Nintendo in Trouble

  • Andyblarg Andyblarg (Play Bug Fables) (@Andyblarg) reported

    @GoNintendoTweet Ok Nintendo really needs to be forced to fix themselves since now we are headed to a terrible future.

  • Vinnymacx82 VinnymacX82 (@Vinnymacx82) reported

    @64Null @NintendoAmerica and yet people will still complain over the re-release of the HD there'll be some sort of bug fix or some sort of quality enhancement that people will still complain about.

  • MrGuyTweets MrGuy: Ace Attorney (@MrGuyTweets) reported

    @Getlucky12341 @NintendoAmerica they didn't even cancel the event, they just canceled the stream. then the top 8 dropped out and yes, they can cancel any and every fan event they want to if it breaks the terms of service (and even if it doesn't, because they're using copyrighted stuff)

  • Sagan1188 Orestes (G.G) (@Sagan1188) reported

    @moongamestudios Hi. I have bought the #oriandthewillofthewisps for Nintendo Switch and i'm having serious problems because the game gets frozen every five minutes or less. I've try to reinstall the eshop actualization but the problem continues. There is any solution? Thanks.

  • 0dder_ ✨❄sn0dd❄✨ (@0dder_) reported

    @ReddKoii they took down brawl's channel already, and Gilva is one of the few we have left 😔😔 **** that tho, shitty Nintendo service for life 😈😈🔥🔥🔥

  • Andyblarg Andyblarg (Play Bug Fables) (@Andyblarg) reported

    Melee canceled Splatoon canceled Etika Charity joycons canceled Music on YouTube taken down This Nintendo downward spiral needs to end. I think we should all swarm Nintendo's customer service and emails demanding they fix all these missteps. Show them how angry we are. #mario64

  • Kaabiikaze Kabze (@Kaabiikaze) reported

    With the recent news on Nintendo, it leaves me with mixed feelings. While I completely understand the legal aspects of their issues, not only it’s hurting their brand to the fans, it’s also depressing to see a company you adore making really bad community decisions.
