@AnotherBlob Basically if the investigator does not have evidence on paper that Nintendo ordered him to do something illegal, the problem will eat himself

I bought a Nintendo switch with animal crossing 5 hours ago. I’ve already paid off my initial debt to Tom Nook and purchased a new home. I have 110,000💰. This is going to be a problem, isn’t it?

@HeadofNights People bought into it without questioning it, which is par for the course in Saudi. There were mass merchandise burnings at schools because of it. Nintendo literally had to issue a public apology, despite not doing anything wrong, and reassuring them that it wasn't intentional.

@TProphet ... although that particular law makes it a felony to provide a streaming *service* If you take Nintendo's position, you can easily argue Twitch is illegal

Never buy @LEGO_Group from @NintendoUK , customer service is appalling, night and day between the two, now left in a stressful situation with days to go before Christmas day.

Wishing everyone and anybody , a healthy and safe Xmas. It's different this year was a war zone and the holidays are just not working. Hopefully Nintendo will stop being such ******* in 2021.

@eventhubs However the one BIG thing I would love to see, but never will, improvements to online, taking out one frame of lag doesn't change anything, the entire system needs tiling and reworking, if SNK and arc sys can do it, sora/namco/Nintendo have no excuses

@tempora26011882 @prince_leor @NintendoAmerica Problem is, these pervs are only ousted after being caught, and after absurd amounts of deniability. Hopefully there aren’t too many more among them. 🙏🏼

One of my joy cons got the dreaded drift issue so I did the send to Nintendo to get it fixed thing and it works great now! Kind of a long and cumbersome process but so glad that this was a contactless and free option.

@Brettford21 @MegaLCRO @NintendoAmerica Bc they connect the online to a service, and are making it a service. And its for you to decide if you want that service or dont. You cant win in this case, its in some twisted sense justified. I wish that it would be free again like in the good old days but charging there is..

@NintenZ Why uncertain on Crash? I mean he's super popular and would practically be a steal for Nintendo in my opinion.

@KEEMSTAR 1. A laptop, I really need one, mine is death 2. New cloth, I can't pay for new. 3. One smartphone, mine occasionally crash 4. A Nintendo switch, when I was kid I was in love of snes and Nintendo 64. 5. A ps5, because I have a gamer heart and a pc gamer is too much to ask.

You know what? Smash Ultimate isn't bad online. Hardwired in, I expected some worse connection. Yeah, some games had lag, some froze, but alot of em were solid. Yes, it could be better, Nintendo needs to get on that!

@EmmaAvemour @Pandarianssb @AndroosYuzu wouldn’t be surprised if that were to happen. but since you can’t use those keys and such to go online anyway on Yuzu itself, Its not an issue. however, each copy of Smash has its own ID, if Nintendo catches the same copy online twice at the same time, your bound to get banned.

@ForShantae 1: Yes. 2: Crash, Chell and one more Nintendo character. 3: While it would be nice, it’s been deconfirmed by Sakurai himself, so...

(@NintenZ) reported
@Fg4Smash I still have to say I am skeptical overall, if Nintendo took more of an apparent interest in Crash as a franchise I might think a little differently but I’m not sure I guess a comparison would be Tracer, also from Activision, whose franchise Overwatch they have taken interest in

this is lunar in my mind, nintendo is really becoming disney, no magic no fun no creativity, just an imposed vision and legal issues

Basically Nintendo had a problem, there were a ton of homebrew and hacking going on with the 3DS early in the console's launch. 2/

@FluxPlatinum The only thing killing the game is Nintendo's Online service and Ultimate netcode lol.

@AnotherBlob and Nintendo only has to delete the information from its servers and change the hard drives in case a judge decides to issue an order and the evidence no longer exists
-
Miguel
(@Miguel_Casso) reported
@AnotherBlob that these meetings will never be considered harassment in court, even if Nintendo says that if they existed, also Nintendo has a pass because if there is no explicit evidence that Nintendo ordered to do that investigator all problems will only be the investigator 1/2

@AnotherBlob Basically if the private investigator does not have evidence on paper that Nintendo ordered him to do something illegal, the problem will be eaten by himself

they had so much Nintendo merch near the games section in the basement. In 2007! Sounds run off the mill now but back then video game merch hadn’t broken into the mainstream.
