@Hikari_Silas @AxisTheTiger @NintendoAmerica No, they don't offer many ways to play some classics other then original hardware it isn't a "piracy problem" it's a service problem. Nintendo is making no money off of those games.

@GanNOTFromZelda this isnt just that it's literally every corp. the crunch culture of games like cyberpunk 2077 and naughty dog. **** like sega not paying the devs of sonic mania for their success. it's not just a nintendo only problem

@austin_jarboe @NintendoAmerica No, Kaos hasn’t effected gaming to the extent that Crash has. I agree he’s associated with Play Station the point is he has enough affiliation with Nintendo to qualify plus he has that long standing place in gaming. I do see your point but I think Crash can get in.

@DooSalmon @NintendoAmerica Sonic is in Smash. FFVII was never on a Nintendo Platform. Why is Crash where you draw the line?

I am SO tired of it taking literally 20+ tries every single time I want to connect my Pokeball Plus to @PokemonGoApp. Who do I need to yell at? @NintendoAmerica? @Pokemon? I don't have this kind of trouble with ANY other Bluetooth device. Fix your app. Update the firmware. %&$#.

@ABoringGuy64 @cooper_animates Issue is, nintendo still sells these games. It doesnt matter if its physically or not. They're on the virtual console of wii U and 3DS, theyre an incentive to get NSO, and they sold the NES/SNES classic

@Nick4Koppel @NintendoAmerica You wish NaughtDog and Insomniac had held onto Crash and Spyro instead of selling them to Activision? I know I do.

@MinibattleA @jnubgaming @NintendoAmerica Also, I don't care about companies. Having brand loyalty if about as stupid as it gets. My only problem with the whole "save melee" crap, is the amount of hypocrisy it has.

@austin_jarboe @NintendoAmerica To be honest I never got into Spyro. I’ve played some Crash but I’m a big fan of the N Sane Trilogy on Switch. I’m hoping for Crash 4 to come to Switch. The one sale I wish never happened was Rare to Microsoft.

@Nick4Koppel @NintendoAmerica Given Crash's original history with NaughtyDog, I can't help but associate him with PlayStation. Could you see Kaos from Skylanders getting into Smash?

@TifaTheMonk I never liked smash as game (I know nowadays has quite its issues with Nintendo being a ****) and I personally think Sephiroth is a less enjoyable choice out of the FF7 cast as he's getting more annoying with each new appareance, other than CC maybe.

I don't have to download an update. I don't need to boot up the console and navigate a main menu. I don't need to sign in to a Nintendo account. It just plays the game. That's nice.

And smash choices are cool but 1 it's nintendo and 2 the game flopped because they refuse to address netcode issues or actually put in servers you pay for.

So, on the whole #freemelee situation... In my eyes, it is not Nintendo's fault, but the fans should know not to use pirated copies of Melee that use a mod to not have as much lag in the first place. So, if you want my opinion, Nintendo is in the right, the fans are in the wrong.

Alright, here's my take on the whole #freemelee situation... I think that personally the fans themselves have committed the sin of using pirated copies of Smash Melee that use mods that slow down lag, which is not okay in both mine and Nintendo's eyes. It is not Nintendo's fault.

@shanniifannii @Cunk122 @NintendoAmerica Ok since you’re a weeb, your opinion on this matter is indisputably bias so no. Also you have a serious problem with respect and maturity, why don’t you go ask mommy why using that word is inappropriate and wrong

@NintendoAmerica Down came the staff on his head—SMASH! And Robin fell like a sack full of lead—CRASH! The sheriff laughed and he left him for dead—HA! But he was WRONG! [35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40!]

I think the industry should do better and as a person whose development and worldview owe heavily to games, I want the people who make them to do better. Nintendo needs to stop treating its fans like **** and UbiSoft shouldn’t get to print money without dealing with its problems.

@watchin2 @NintendoAmerica It's never happening...if it's not shown by mid 2021 if not coming to switch but maybe the next switch...weve heard nothing on it really..similar to metroid 4 but atleast we know metroid had development issues.
