  @YoRHaw also completely ignores the fact that these problems are happening between employees and targeting minorities... idk how many minorities (in the context of japan) are working at nintendo but i'd wager it's not a lot

  @Galvatrx It sucks, but the games are still really good! I want Nintendo to just buy Crash and Spyro tbh

  @NintendoCoLtd THANK YOU. Like people are mad about no switch pro but what they don't realize is that they are RUMORS. So they got themselves so hyped up for this awesome 4k nintendo switch that fixes drift(which btw has an easy permanent fix) and yata yata. Like shut. This is a good upgrade

  @Mizzah_Tee @ShadowFoxArche @Clocked_It The online sucks cause Nintendo don't care enough about online to put the effort to fix it. I don't have a reason to run from anyone. I can care less if they fix it or not. I think online on any system isn't worth it.

  @MissUmbraTwt @Benimated **** if I’d let Nintendo’s greedy asses get ahold of crash, but with Sega its...not the worst idea but a risk.

  @Echoplex25 @IGN PSN has only been down for me a handful of times in YEARS, what's your issue? Also, even if it did go down "every 2 months" it's still way better than nintendo's online.

  @dayofpi i agree sometimes quickplay makes me lose my mind, the way nintendo lets extreme lag in anyway and having to play in that lag and such. there are usually the few people on there that make the game fun you know. gsp system sucks big time i lose more than gain 75% of the time.

  @EMLimaRanger77 @tuxedo_mask23 I wouldn't blame nintendo for a glitch in the eShop that can happen to anyone

  @TheDemoScout Cold take, nintendo still HAS great 1st party characters, the problem is that they keep picking the less exciting ones as DLC

  I didn’t want it to sound like I was hating of Furukawa. He made one comment that sat bad with me and there’s a couple pretty major issues in having with Nintendo but that’s it.

  @RocketLeague @JurassicWorld Fix the issue with Nintendo switch platform dlc cars then I'll actually care about this since I already own it on there and can't even use it on other platforms

  @DynamoSuperX Give Crash and Spyro to Nintendo. Yeah, I said it.

  @KirbyKid520_SSB Nintendo buy crash right now so us a favor

• 
  please just put Crash in Smash (@RockNRollGary) reported 44 minutes ago

  @Lizardguy17 @Mevans2703 @DynamoSuperX Nintendo seems to sleep on a lot of their IP that is not Mario/Zelda/Pokémon/Fire Emblem whereas Sony is still putting out Ratchet games granted, Jak/Sly are in limbo right now but those series sold way less than Crash/Spyro

  @ga_r1997 @JonComms Even though I want Activision to go down in flames, I really hope characters like Crash/Spyro dont end up at Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft to end up exclusive to one platform.

  @abzeronow @JeffMan1490 @NintendoAmerica No Earthbound ******* doesn’t have obvious rights issues because Nintendo owns it completely but they don’t acknowledge it’s existence because they are a bunch of P U S S I E S

  @DartsEnthusiast Better than nothing but I kind of hoped we found the miracle solution. Let's hope it's a good enough lead for a definitive fix from Nintendo .

  @CNBCnow Overstock.. PlayStation.. Nintendo Switch kept getting server errors trying to make transactions

  @GabSmolders I think the problem is that nintendo wanted you to take it slow to see where the enemy blocks and attack the other way. I did have issues with the hydras but then you can shield parry and the horizontal slash. Button controls are better though, I don't like cam cntrl

  @JuanGrande386 @vetrix_tron @NintendoAmerica Earthbound being a popular example. Also there are japan exclusives which is bullshit, since for example the 1st fire emblem game is on the japan service but on everywhere else it was released as a paid limited time release

  @6amerBr0 agreed if the brand is damaged Nintendo might not pick crash for this crap

  @iFixit I'm still amazed why Nintendo simply refuses to follow up on this issue They just force them to buy new devices?

  @FFIXSalesman Nintendo has problems that I have called them out for but they rarely, if ever, make headlines about having a bad work culture

  Matt | 6amerBr0 🎮 CEO of Palutena #RIPRuby (@6amerBr0) reported 1 hour ago

  @zioreturns I mean Activision isn’t the problem so they probably would have warned Nintendo ahead of time that Blizzard is at fault and not them, that way they can keep working as normal. But knowing Sakurai, he’d get it done anyways. Unless of course it isn’t Crash at all. lol

  @TheDemoScout Nah, im pretty sure when Crash does get into smash, alot of people are not gonna forget about how bad Activision is. At least with Sephiroth Square Enix isn't all that bad anymore at all, even though the freemelee was a thing back then, and it was actually from Nintendo.
