The @TotallyNotMark situation really just proves how **** YouTube is. I've seen this copyright problem so many times beforehand. Toei, Viacom, Fox, Disney, Nintendo, I could go on and on all day of the companies that ****** over their fans by abusing the copyright system.

Context: My cartridge was a first run of ocarina of time which has some issues I have not gotten to the fire temple yet, so will that ACTUALLY be weirder? …..probably. Probably so. But good for Nintendo for having done what needed to be done.

Nintendo Switch should really find a way to use its DS library. It’s the only way I’d pay $50 for their online service. **** maybe even more tbh.

@DRLewd_ I mean Nintendo took years to implement Bluetooth audio support though in their defense if they did on launch it would have been broken.

@BjKamui because Nintendo won’t buff or fix the characters other tools. Top tiers have their cake and eat it too because all their moves are good. If joker had like 5 frames more lag on all his normals and they didn’t workand was slower without arsene he would be a “gimmicky low tier”

Hey guys, I love streaming, the reason I got a laptop, so I can stream more Retro games from Nintendo and Sega coming soon, also streaming my Consoles PS4 and Xbox One, I wish I can play with others, but the problem it's hackers and not feeling to stream on Switch to be honest

@mollyyalyse If you sign in on your Nintendo account you shouldn’t lose progress I don’t think. I know a couple of people who have sold and bought new switches and I think everything was still intact. I think you need to save everything to an SD card though too

@NintendoAmerica Plus the PS5 and Xbox has better service and you can actually download some classic games to keep rather than wasting money monthly just to play classic games.

@EvilLucario But Nintendo has made the gc controller compatible with every console they have released since the gc. The gc controller is also compatible with most gc emulators. If the issue is solely about the controller played with this should not be a problem.

@NabbitFan730 @Chonzo4Art @DynamoSuperX I feel as though the issue is people were so hopped up on getting nothing but 3rd party inclusions and hype alone, that characters within Nintendo's own catalog are now ostracized from speculation, aside from a select few, at least.

@XtraBitDeluxe @GamingBoy256 @NintendoAmerica Or they’re just terribly ported ROMs with input/audio lag & frame rate issues.

@ohcrapnowwhat Nintendo's a pretty quiet company. I have covered them in respect of the Smash Bros. tournament issue, the megaleak, and more, but they don't make nearly the same number of headlines.

@nonspecificgen1 Trying to justify terrible game prices and Nintendo's general incompetence with pricing by repeating "supply and demand" over and over like a broken record does not make Nintendo look any better in comparison to it's competitors

@lastwumpa Dude it's obviously @NintendoAmerica! I don't wanna play crash games only on PlayStation console especially since I don't own one, so Nintendo is where it's at!

@ShubBrian @Atlus_West Just about at the end of the game. Not had any issues. Sometimes I think people just like to complain because it's a Nintendo system not because the issues are actually that bad.

and to connect with other players using Nintendo's online subscription service to boost whatever so that they can get some of that extra dough in the coffers.

@NintendoAmerica I think servers are down but a lot of people quit there service due to how bad it is plus how expensive the expansion is.

"Aster seems to have been named after someone close to Zinnia who has passed away. According to an interview with Shigeru Ohmori in the June 2015 issue of Nintendo Dream, Aster was a person with special powers who held the position of Lorekeeper before Zinnia."
