    what i want to know is why nintendo is focusing way more on these stuff & not on improving their services? they have their switch online service that seriously needs improvement. they also have their old games on there that we don't actually get to keep if it ever shuts down

    @byBeli_02 @NintendoUK Also people who got the game early have said that the first level is the only one with notable frame drops. It's never an issue afterwards.

    @rdavies6 @g0lfp @MU0WLV I have a screen protector on it at the moment. I assume these can be removed without issue or damage. Have replace the screen protector on the Nintendo Switch before without problem so expect the phone to be the same.

    6/ Also, miss ******** OUT OF ME with any argument against emulation when they’re literally the only ways some people can game (class/socioeconomic issues), lack any legally viable way of supporting, or you hate your player base (Sony w/ the PS Vita/backlog of PS3-1/ Nintendo)

    @NintendoUK Fix the framerate

    Like their response to the Slippi situation and the discussion of Nintendo's history of anti-consumer practices wasn't "maybe we shouldn't support Nintendo" but was "ok, criticize Smash, but leave Pokémon out of it 😡" as if it was a problem with the game and not the company

    @TittyMista556 @SGamarad @pshanley88 because they're butthurt over the fact that people are "illegally distributing" roms of a game they're not even selling anymore, and needed some excuse as to why they shut it down, no matter how untrue it may be. nintendo is so sensitive over issues that make no sense.

    @_waddle_dude I can see that being the case for some people, but a great deal wouldn't have problems dropping Nintendo since they barely touch their games nowadays tbh.

    @shrimpy_fresh Nintendo doesn't play to the standards that the other companies/publishers do. They're always a generation behind on graphics and they've always had notoriously bad online multiplayer. They never need to address these problems because the fans give up on good online or esports.

    @TheKiest TBH was set to earn $ by broadcasting melee as they have done every year since 2011. The problem came when they told staff at TBH not to use Slippi, and staff said no, we’re using it. So Nintendo shut down the whole event, which they were a sponsor of. Ultimate and all

    Nintendo really has to ruin one of the greatest competitive scenes over a better online service than their own... #FreeMelee

    @cleneker210 Which is my problem with Nintendo. Also it is 100% legal to run slippi on your copy regardless of what's in its manual, because it's a code injectionnot a mod of the ISO, again they're exploiting copyright law because it's the only way they can actually legally shut things down.

    So... how do Nintendo fix all their problems? -Fix Joy-Con drift and give free refunds/repairs -Start supporting the Melee community -Add SMG2 to 3D All Stars and make it a non-limited release -Make Switch Online more reliable Please reply with more of these. #FreeMelee

    @liuhanwen3 @DabuzSenpai Even as an ultimate player I support the decision to take down both. They're C&Ding an effort that was made to bring a service to the community Nintendo didnt offer, that is reportedly better than the most current iteration of the series too -

  • Marlotix
    Marlotix (@Marlotix) reported

    @byBeli_02 @NintendoUK It's a memory leak issue. Resetting your Switch fixes the framerate. Link's Awakening had a similar problem. It can be patched, but they never patched it for LA, so only time will tell if they do for this.
