@supertoon64 i’m super glad the larger nintendo audience gets to experience the wii u library since it really was great, the problem is nintendo still charging full price for them if you ask me. i will never ever understand why nintendo can’t be any other game dev and settle for 40 bucks.

Also, I watched the Nintendo Direct just now and not yesterday due to the power outage that started on Monday (2/15) but don’t worry my power is back on

@fokin_n00b @BalrogGameRoom Who said I was an adult? Nintendo increasing prices for things that don't warrant them is definitely an issue, and shilling for them doesn't make it go away. Your parents will have to pay that extra $10.

@Blueknight_V2 Don’t worry there’s 2 characters dlc maybe we will find him soon but Mr.Sakurai doesn’t want to confirm crash bandicoot because crash is not from Nintendo he born PlayStation

@ChristianCTaken @Itsumi456 @AustinEruption Okay then, Crash REMAKES (3 in 1 & cheaper, Spyro REMAKES (3 in 1 & cheaper)? Why even try to stand up for Nintendo? They ******* hate you anyway lmfao

@TheMaractusMan @PK_ShootingStar @NintendoAmerica That wouldn't be the issue, the issue is in the amount of copyrighted music the game has, it'd be hell trying to rerelease those tracks or remaking them, they'd risk getting sued

@BillyBob11432 Getting hit (that causes your actions to cease) clearing your input buffer is probably one of the most important parts of designing a buffer system at all. Sad that nintendo has millions of dollars to sink into this franchise and they can't fix such simple ****.

@crusader_astral @TweetsNaka Nintendo characters weren’t added to reduce gambling, because the issue of gambling with cards in Japan (and the government subsequently banning that practice) was also hundreds of years ago, whereas Nintendo characters only started existing in the 1980s.

@NabbitFan730 Also people argue that it makes sense to be 60 dollars since Nintendo had to add button controls and make it “HD” and have new players buy it yet ACTIVISION of all companies had built from the ground up remakes of Spyro and Crash at 40 dollars. ACTIVISION!

@TrolIvind Tbh this is only really a problem for the US, Nintendo prices in the UK are more reasonable tbf

@BenjiSales The main problem is that it doesn't look like anything more than a simple port with a few tweaks here and there. I think more people would be okay with the $60 pricetag had Nintendo put more effort into it.

@Tasosmanya The big problem is that Nintendo doesn't care, they know they will sell any game full price no matter the effort... They just need a big name like Mario or Zelda and they're gold.

@THEREALRTU From what I understand about the nintendo switch joycon drift issue it should be preventable right ? Not what you expect from a 450 pound console that is basically impossible to find

@Canadianguyehh And since your discontinuing the Nintendo Direct streams, I think it might be a good idea to lay off the Nintendo-game related streams for a little while. 'Cause I got a feeling those people causing trouble last night might try to show during one of those to stir up trouble.

@BurkeTheNerd @GeeksEveryday I know that it's after Direct but I have to correct you. First, Crash stopped being PS exclusive in early 2000s when deal between Universal (first Crash's owner) and Sony ended. Since then there was a lot of Crash games released on other platforms, including Nintendo consoles (+

@IDCitsMyOpinion @Akmmm91464656 @IntroSpecktive the entire Smash series and its hype is the epitome of fan service anyway, it's not only a museum of Nintendo's history now on top of that, Ridley & K. Rool are fan service too but you didn't complain about them being a waste of slots ? see how incoherent you are now, you fool ?

@BenjiSales I think the issue is the price, not that is being re released. The game should be $30 at worst, but gamers keep treating Nintendo differently. N they won't stop

@AdamAbysswalker @DoctorP042 Think he’s talking in general terms, there was massive discussion over Sony and other publishers raising the price of games due to them being “next gen” Nintendo on the other hand sells ports of 10 year old games for nearly the same price. That’s the issue.

@ArloStuff Yes yes YES, MULTIPLE YESSSSSS!!!! You couldn’t be more right! People unfortunately set the bar way too high (though understandably so), but the big problem is that many people react waaaaaaay too emotionally, nowadays. As if Nintendo owes them the world.

@candymoonzzz @NintendoAmerica (caps due to no option for bolding) NOTHING that I said had ANYTHING to do with the game. I have no problem with the game's timeline of release. My comment was about and ONLY REFERENCES the MARKETING of the video from my MARKETING AND JOURNALISM BACKGROUND.

@ZeldaUniverse Full price for a ten year old game with multiple gameplay issues none of which Nintendo are going to fix. Stop giving them a pass, this is bare minimum.

@PK_ShootingStar I mean, I really don’t think that’s the issue. Nintendo has the rights to the music. If it was really the problem, then earthbound never would have got a Wii u release

@hdmispaghetti @Slasher I know, that's been the excuse for a while now. Not that it isn't valid but Nintendo has had problems getting games out since well before the pandemic started.

@JoeyADM Oh. Did Nintendo issue an apology for yesterday's once again disappointing Nintendo Direct?
