@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.

Sometimes I see the way Nintendo treats its fans, and it's disgusting. I *kind of* want to cancel my Dread preorder. But I know deep down I can't, so :( I guess I'm part of the problem.

@IKasaiKazuki @NintendoAmerica The Ridley in ice was another clone like in Other M. And people with PTSD issues wouldn't want to harm something or someone they care about, even if they're already dead and ghosts.

@StrawHatEmperor @LiquidHbox @Nintendo Lol, I'm stating that people don't have to play the console when they have a problem with the company. If they really had a constant problem with Nintendo's policies, they would have moved on to something else by now. I hate when people complain and have no resolve.

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.

@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”

@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.

@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

@PwnJuiceTheChef @PabiloonRJ @RogueCompany Rogue Company is THE best running shooter game on Nintendo Switch, you can actually get a decent FPS without too many issues.

@NightmareHolic @LiquidHbox @Nintendo Nintendo has a hold on my favorite franchise. I can't just turn my back on Mario. I love Nintendo's games, it's just the legal team and corporate side of the company that sucks massive ***. They're the problem, not me liking the games.

@SuperCptKuma feels pretty bad knowing I'm part of the problem when I'm upset at Nintendo over stuff like this, but also, I plan to buy Dread when it comes out. Like, they're only gonna stop if whatever backlash they get actually starts hurting sales, which it realistically won't 🥲

@PapyrusSemi @NintendoAmerica Only problem with that is there are dozens of other big gaming companies based in Japan and people do this same **** with no issues.

@Oobgarm @resonanceknight @SethAbramson That's such BS. There's been a legit collectible gold Nintendo world's cartridge on ebay for $1M ask forever no takers. These transactions weren't real. They were engineered so they could issue press releases.

@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 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

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

@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.

@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.
-

(@JJagents1) reported
@basedpersona4 The problem is that Nintendo's legal team thinks that unofficial fan games might confuse buyers into thinking that they are official products similarly to what happened in the 70s with the whole video game crash. The thing is that it is not the 70s anymore lmao

@RiptideSSB And this is why I haven’t bought any Nintendo products for a year and a half now. The fan base seriously needs to stop supporting them until they fix this ****. **** Nintendo

@NPhanboys What's your problem with Nintendo anyway?
-
Chiroz
(@ChirozDR) reported
@N_Cozy2 @Dusty_Carpet_ No, the problem is the existence of a modified version of their IP without say a contract. With Melee and Ultimate, the only thing they would be doing that isn’t under contract when you buy the game is streaming, which Nintendo did in fact try to stop when it started…

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.

@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?

@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
