    @NintendoAmerica Crash

  • TouhouHentai Touhou Hentai (@TouhouHentai) reported

    Off topic: but smash is gonna be at the game awards tonight, only problem everybody hates Nintendo right now

  • glass_oj A Glass of OJ (@glass_oj) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I'm surprised you didn't issue a cease and desist to the game awards for showing Nintendo games

  • J0HNJ91 John J 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@J0HNJ91) reported

    @Nirual5 @FallGuysGame It’s not out on Nintendo so how are they going to implement this into the game? Think before you post will save yourself a lot of trouble 👍🤝

  • SporePunch Spore, back on his bullshit (@SporePunch) reported

    @NintendoAmerica A character that no one will be able to play because we don't have good online and you C&D events that use good online. Fix the netcode, please, and #FreeMelee For the love of god, take a page out of the book of Valve or Sega or most other devs and appreciate fan work.

  • BearyTo 🔞BearyNiceToMeetYou🔞 (@BearyTo) reported

    @NintendoAmerica CRASH BANDICOOT AND THE FAZBEAR

  • Adl3z1 Adl3z_ 🎄 (@Adl3z1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Better be ray man or crash. Also I didn’t forget about the Etika joycon **** you pulled. Disrespectful of our boy.

  • Sharkaman3 Slade Lucas (@Sharkaman3) reported

    @NintendoUK I think our remaining characters will be Crash Bandicoot, Rex & Pyra, Doomguy and Geno (in that order) so that would make my prediction for tonight Crash Bandicoot. I guess we'll see...

  • IHadStroke Stress (@IHadStroke) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If it's not Crash Bandicoot i'm killing myself with a sign that says "Nintendo made me do it"

  • SilentConsonant Brandon (@SilentConsonant) reported

    Gone was a joke, but if it’s not Nintendo first party it’s A)Monster Hunter B)Travis Touchdown C)Crash Bandicoot

  • RubysArt_ Ruby can't think of a clever holiday pun! (@RubysArt_) reported

    @Zari_Wari @NintendoAmerica It doesn't require modifying the game in any way, which was most likely most of the problem.

  • CoolDemonTUG Dante (@CoolDemonTUG) reported

    I don't think #FreeMelee will be enough, we need to force Nintendo to fix themselves from in the inside. First take out the Nintentards. Second impact there sales, and then change. Hopefully

  • Zach_CD_ Zenith_BC (@Zach_CD_) reported

    Instead making dlc fighters they should just fix online, that’s the only thing they can reveal to get me hype, or maybe a Nintendo will stop being **** wads reveal.

  • AsuereeRock Lucas Saas (@AsuereeRock) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Either Silver the Hedgehog, Rillaboom, Crash Bandicoot, Revali or all of them

  • _FrI3Nd _FrI3Nd (@_FrI3Nd) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Top picks for me. 1. Geno 2. Another Kirby rep 3. Crash 4. Pokémon S&Sh rep 5. Sora. (1 and 2 could be switch around)

  • _GamesGames_ TBE | GOHAN (@_GamesGames_) reported

    Alright watch this everybody, I'm getting one of these today. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the dragon, Sora, and another Nintendo representative will be the final fighters in the fighters pass 2. I'm not sure which characters for mii costumes but probably 3-4 characters from in game...

  • LykaLykoi ❄ Lyka ✿💙 (@LykaLykoi) reported

    @MatttGFX nintendo made a hundred shitty decisions and then was like "**** **** **** hold on we need to fix this" and it somehow worked on a lot of ppl

  • thetweetmastah A Twit user who's "Chill" (@thetweetmastah) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If it is Arle, Hollow Knight, Reimu, Freddy Fazbear or a retro 1st party I would be in joy If it is some overrated fighter request such as Shantae, Doomslayer, Crash, or Rayman I would do a facepalm PLZ :3

  • dontRunOff01 Mitchell B. (@dontRunOff01) reported

    @forestminish 1. Crash 2. Chun-Li 3. Rex and Pyra (Nintendo's not going to announce them at the Game awards, that's why theyre at #3)

  • HORPTyler Tyler James (@HORPTyler) reported

    @_MissClick_ It’s either a third party character or a Nintendo character that’s really popular. My guess is either Lara Croft, Crash, or Toxtricity

  • AsuereeRock Lucas Saas (@AsuereeRock) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Either Silver the Hedgehog, Rillaboom, Crash Bandicoot or all of them

  • SSB_MP4 .MP4 💿 (@SSB_MP4) reported

    @heyo_KazeTS But that’s not really the point. Like one of The biggest things is how **** they’ve been to the community and our enjoyment of the game so I don’t see what not buying the character does. The problem isn’t with the games themselves it’s with the cooperate aspect if Nintendo

  • zacktheperson1 zacktheperson (@zacktheperson1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Honestly guys we don’t really need Crash, I may not know much about him but I feel like he’s not a diverse enough character to have a good moveset, he’d really just be another Sonic/Incineroar character and we do not need anymore of those

  • DaMegaTaco DaMegaTaco (@DaMegaTaco) reported

    Great! The control stick on my switch light is completely broken. It can't go down anymore even after recalibrating. @NintendoAmerica this lack of quality controll with the joysticks is outrageous. Now my switch light is unusable and getting it repaired would likely take forever;

  • TheSenateIsHere MarvelousKicks (@TheSenateIsHere) reported

    @Bobo29951980 @igmrevaporation @NintendoAmerica Personally I really don't want Crash in smash.. Like at all.

  • BrandonVinall Brandon Vinall (@BrandonVinall) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Sora? Crash? Spyro? Doom Guy? Please?

  • SilentConsonant Brandon (@SilentConsonant) reported

    Goku was a joke, but if it’s not Nintendo first party it’s A)Monster Hunter B)Travis Touchdown C)Crash Bandicoot

  • Xdo12 Xdo12 |BLM (@Xdo12) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I want it to be Rex but I guess it will be Jonesy, Sora or Crash

  • Yodimaru Jake (But Black Lives Matter) (@Yodimaru) reported

    The smash brothers symbol slashes onto the screen, it zooms into the bright light. Cut to the guy in the Crash Mascot costume standing outside Nintendo HQ yelling at them to let him into Smash until Sakurai walks out and hands him the letter begrudgingly. #CrashForSmash

  • Rootieatbiscut Rooti (@Rootieatbiscut) reported

    @CrimsonZEXAL @NintendoAmerica lol crash would be my second guess but i hope its sora it would be perfect his moveset would be so cool :0 (crash's moveset would be rlly basic tbh)
