I hate the massive reaction to Nintendo going after a mod in comparison to actual gaming industry abuse stories. Like Jesus Christ if people were this passionate about real problems maybe the industry wouldn't be in the state its currently in.

Nintendo has the full right to protect their properties even if it's old. At this point Virtual Console needs to come to the Nintendo Switch with the addition of GameCube and Wii. It may not solve the problem however.

@2WayIntrsctn @ttvMadison I mean, I have a problem with the collection when Rare Replay is offering a better collection of games and bonus features than Nintendo is doing with one of their biggest franchises, I mean at least Banjo-Kazooie on the XBOX was brought up to date to make 1/2

This is hyperbole, but I can promise you if you think big game company across the ocean actually cares about you, you’re wearing broken rose-colored glasses. Nintendo’s games are generally decent but their practices and standards are downright appalling.

@Thenumber1yoshi @ttvMadison again: under what obligation i dont want this to come off as me sucking nintendo's **** but... as someone who's played 3das, it's perfectly fine. a little barebones, but fine. the only major issue is the limited* release

@2WayIntrsctn @ttvMadison I mean I find it pointless for Nintendo to take down stuff rather than take Gabe Newell’s advice I mean legacy content is a problem with Nintendo as well but they’d rather try an attempt wasting money crushing digital cockroaches 1/2

@Thenumber1yoshi @ttvMadison the game not having every graphical enhancement under the sun is not the same as nintendo putting a ****** arbitrary limit on the game because the latter is a real issue.

@ThatWolfArrow @AcroxShadow @RiptideSSB Well funny enough Mother 3 has been available to download since 2008 and Nintendo knows it exists. Funny how it never got taken down. Its almost as if the translation team isn't profiting and that's the main issue here

@EmperorLemon While Nintendo does this, Activision blizzard harassed one of its female employees so hard she took her own life just to escape...... try and remember what the bigger ******* problem is.....

I’m mostly joking but I’ve grown numb to Nintendo’s stupid decisions but let’s not act like people aren’t still so ******* butthurt over brawl for over a decade that they keep trying to “fix it” like stop nobody cares

@uEquinoxxx @magistercaecus There’s no gap in logic. Nintendo doesn’t want their games modded in situations like this where companies are going to be presenting them publicly. They’ve been firm on this. Play the game straight up and there’s no issue. Where’s the confusion coming from?

(@WieseAufmWald) reported
@Antithesis404 The problem with Nintendo related projects is that they often get so visible that Nintendo can't act as if they just didn't know about it. Other companies have to take action if smth gets too big too. At a certain point they have to take action to not lose rights to their IPs
-
Kennedy Clark
(@younghavok) reported
@uEquinoxxx @magistercaecus Those companies have nothing to do with the tournament so the only point you made was that different companies have different policies. Ok. The issue, again, is Nintendo doesn’t want their products modded and advertised like this. Hence it was shut down.

I’m so ******* hyped for the steam deck, all my issues with it have been debunked, legit the only thing I’m worried about is bots making it impossible to find. After launch, legit is just a better nintendo switch

Watching assclowns retro fandoms on Twitter getting mad at Nintendo and or some other Japanese company again for doing the same thing at their events that got them in trouble is becoming a vicious cycle with no end.

@younghavok @magistercaecus We’re not going to just sit here and cut companies out because my point has been made already. Explain to me what is the issue having a Smash tournament? What illegal barriers are these guys breaking by hosting a tournament? No one gives as much of a **** as Nintendo does.

idk why I target the reasons people say they hate XC2, y'all are obviously just mad that Nintendo put a Nintendo character in their Nintendo game and are looking for any reason you can to make it a moral issue.

@ConsoleKev I don't see a problem with Nintendo protecting their IP. They didn't block Ultimate, Splatoon, or any other game. They specifically had a problem with the modded version of Melee they were using.

(@Elementalisman) reported
@BulkyBobOmb @LightingRakurai @NintendoAmerica I feel like they mined SR-388 for Aeion, the X were a byproduct of their misuse of Aeion, so they created Metroids to solve the problem, but those evolved into another, so Chozolyshit there showed up to "solve the problems", and Samus is the latest incarnation of that problem.

hey is anyone else having an issue transferring pokemon from pokemon go to pokemon let's go? i keep getting a big red message in pokemon go that says "could not connect to nintendo switch" when i try to pair my phone

@NoFacedOrange @danfornace Honestly, some Nintendo fangames (at least Pokemon) can survive until completion as long as the creators keep their heads down, don't try to profit off of it, and don't take interviews to generate press. Some have lasted years with no problems while Uranium was sniped b/c of #3.

@mitaknight_ That’s what I’ve been saying. So much rhetoric about how the problems at ABK are present at other big games studios, but whenever people bring up Nintendo, the fanboys are like “NO. I’M 100% SURE NINTENDO IS THE BEST PLACE TO WORK ON EARTH”

So, I'm trying to get everyone into elite smash, right? I've won 9 games, lost 4. Everytime I've lost, I've lost GSP, but out of the 9 games I've won, I've gained GSP 3 times because 6 people decided it's ok to abuse that. Nintendo, fix your game.
