@MeDicenLimonMX @amazongames @NintendoAmerica In other words, I was right, 'not Nintendo's fault, why did Amazon send me here for problems with THEIR promotional content?'

@RemiMorii @evanakari @FortniteBR It should run better. It will not make the switch lag or buggy cause Nintendo wouldn’t allow that, and Epic wouldn’t make that a possibility. About the event part, it really depends what type of event.

@Nintendo Fix your game please! I paid £50 for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and you allow the Cynthia battle to be rigged by letting her use multiple full restores which NOT fair play. Especially for the first battle!

@RaphLife I don't think anyone else has mentioned that Nintendo would also cease and desist the absolute **** out of that effort, not to mention the fact that adding a bounty to it means you've profited off of the use of their IP which would get you in major legal trouble

@BogardMajeed @orochinagicom Didn't had any performance issue on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. So it's maybe a PC problem.

@Gothalion I dont have problem with emulation when it comes to vintage gaming... part of what you said if you cant buy it physically at retail... this is a huge problem specially with nintendo lots of amazing games that desurve either a remake or a gamepass style subscription service

@theWellRedMage As I understand it (and I may be incorrect), microcomputers kept gaming alive over here throughout the video game crash of 83. Nintendo have always been loved over here, but in my experience most people owned Sega consoles up until the PS1 came out. As I say, just my observations

@SpawnWaveMedia please help me look into nintendo oled wifi issues, wifi just died now can only connect with wired, nintendo rep said is not cover under warranty wtf!?

Xel -dread is not super metroid i promise
(@xeltweet) reported
@leggystarscream yep, There is zero ******* reason that pokemon games should be rushed and the blame is 99 percent on nintendo/TPC, if there is truth to the claim gamefreak is reluctant to have support studios assist them then their is a 1 percent gamefreak problem

(@boring_cactus) reported
@RaphLife using mods might be against the EULA but I think that case established that creating mods wouldn't be a copyright violation - Project M never got C&D'd - although if Nintendo wants to force the issue then defending that position in court would of course cost way more than $10K

(@ProGambitYT) reported
I'm just gonna ask for evidence on any of that in thread, Nintendo really influenced platformers, game companies having masocts, Nintendo=Mario, Sega=Sonic, Sony=Crash etc, not to mention that you're actively ignoring for some reason Mario 64

@XxThe_EmpirexX @Chaosxsilencer My man, it's happened on every release of any major platform since inception. Nintendo. Playstation. X-box. People would camp for days to have a shot at one. During a pandemic...with supply chain issues... There was only 1 result.

@paulg Nintendo sells IP. Everything is in service of that. Selling hardware/software, and basically anything else, are means to sell this IP, and help maintain control over distribution. They do a good to not let IP "age out".

I’ll say this, i’m a technician, i can fix hardware and various consoles But if you bring me a nintendo console don’t have high hopes, they make their stuff in similar ways to apple, where components aren’t that available and their engineering is focused on making repair hard

@LinkmasterX9 the problem with 3d is the shortcuts are horribly visible now tbh like i wouldnt mind say reusing game engines, but the visuals can't really be ignored. we're at the point were these different Nintendo franchises are starting to look alike (notably zelda and pokemon)

@PylesofBooks …okay fair, there is a good bit of hand-holding, but that’s a Nintendo problem in general (BotW aside).
