@gabbydarienzo Maybe Nintendo knows, and that's why they deny it's a problem.

@CroixAlmer To end my own little thoughts on this, I want Nintendo to start officially supporting ROM modding and fan games, with a site they can get ad revenue from. Perhaps even a very cheap subscription service so you can download and install mods easily with a service. Come on, Nintendo!

Just got my free chrome cast/stadia controller. And man while the streaming tech is really cool but damn is stadia as a service so unbelievably featureless that it makes Nintendo look competent.

@drpiggyphd After that, Nintendo was never going to support us. Why would they hitch their family-friendly brand to a community with such obvious problems? People talked a big game about making the community safe after 2015. Well, after this July we can all see how well that worked out.

@VelocityC22 Combination of two things 1. Smash players are ignorant as to Riot's uh, problems cause they don't play other games 2. The "anyone but you" attitude they have towards Nintendo rn

@NintendoAmerica cann you at least add an update that annouces the end of this service instead of simply relying on error codes? it's annoying

@TestedData1 @BravestCorwin Only then, did Disney take the servers down. Nintendo's just like, "No, you can't play our games at all, I don't care if it's been 30 years since we've last released them. Too bad." Point being, Nintendo is worse than Disney.

@DaikameSSB @PeeKayy__ I mean it doesn't have to be a streaming service. Knowing Nintendo they will try doing that in probably 10ish years. Just to have it be super laggy and have 0 support after like 3 updates.

@suetr6 @IntroSpecktive Nintendo is probably one of if not THE richest business in Japan. It wouldn't take much to put an end to Joy Con drift as it would with piracy. They're a multi billion dollar company they can handle it for just a little while fixing an issue that should have been delt with-

@UdontNoahme You can send them into Nintendo and they fix them for free. I did it with my joy cons and haven’t had an issue since. They’re pretty quick with returning them all the info is on the Nintendo help site.

@PeeKayy__ A subscription service to play old Nintendo games, isn't that just what we already have for Switch Online, I mean it's missing everything past SNES but that's what it is

Like if I were Nintendo I’d be like yo that’s sick let’s take it as an inspiration to improve our service since the fan made one is FREE and we are the ones CHARGING for this ****, let’s make it just as good but nooooo instead Nintendo just goes like nah get cancelled.

@noxlongerxhuman This is why I don't buy games for my switch anymore. $79.99 CAD is just too much for a game I'll probably play for a bit and then never pick up. I'd rather use that money on every steam sale that happens which gives me more bang for my buck. Nintendo, fix your ****.

@NintendoAmerica Too bad I can't join as I called customer service and had my Nintendo Switch Online cancelled due to you trying to kill a community of people who has LEGALLY purchased your games, all you have to do is rectify your decisions towards the smash community. #FreeMelee #SaveSmash

@ChristinaTasty Sucks. Because of the Joy con drift there is no reason to buy a switch until Nintendo fix this damn problem. I want one just for the new Monster hunter game

Oh I see the problem, apparently Nintendo canceled a tournament melee tournament due to the pandemic, why are people complaining about this, this is normal for 2020

@ZebitasMartinex @IGN This and I still say either they make a virtual console that runs multigenerational and doesn't get hit by the reset button each generation or say **** it and port old games to a Nintendo PC service and make a bangload of money and even curtail only roms that way too.
