@joeds_ @NintendoAmerica I mean, not their problem if a few straggling idiots are still hanging onto the word of a known liar.

@Reecee_yt Due the problem of the Nintendo 64 stick, the game was denied for the Virtual Console of the Wii and Wii U, but the minigames that caused the problem (Tug 'o' War) being available on The Top 100 and Superstars, now Nintendo wanted to released (With the 3rd)

@XC_Enel Xenoblade 2 gets a lot of criticism for its fan service, but do you think this actually made the series as popular as it is now? Did Pyra actually make Xenoblade more of a trusted Nintendo product?

@NintendoAmerica Wait, it’s coming out next week? But Helena’s video was a week or two ago, if she had that issue and didn’t care about NDA why didn’t she make the video from the jump? Why wait until so close to release?

@koroksoup Doesn’t help that half the games won’t be available when the 3DS/Wii U eShops shut down. OoT is the highest rated game ever, but it took 4.5 years to get on Switch, and it was broken when it did. It’s like not even Nintendo themselves care about classic Zelda.

@ChrisIsCansada @NintendoAmerica I mean 4K per session (which apparently by Union standards is a max of 4 hours) translates to 1000 an hour. More than lawyers and doctors. Of course there’s the problem of not always having work and likely having to contract yourself, etc. but by no means was she underpaid.

@Creestab @kiwyle This. Saw a post of someone on r/ssbm (cringe I know) that was using a Nintendo switch wireless gcc and the intensity of melee inputs was turning their controller to dust. Compatibility IS a problem. The barrier is admittedly low but there just doesn’t need to be one.

@ChrisIsCansada @NintendoAmerica I respect VAs and their struggles, but Platinum allegedly paid more than the current Union rate. If that is an issue, it's something the Union has tot tackle, as that's what they are for.

@lissthelass Sorry this happened. But it's like with the fan games too where in this wouldn't be an issue if Nintendo just listened to the fans and gave us content like what we make. But not they shut it down and give us no legal alternatives like they are allergic to money.

@DisneyDLV I have a problem with the previous pixar event. On October 14, I put on my nintendo switch that the event ended in 27 days, so I decided to unlock the premium items with moon coins. But a day before the first Scar update that event was gone. +
