    @TerryTheBuneary The bear that used to be a Nintendo character but is now owned by the same company that owns Minecraft, Doom and Crash Bandicoot, WHO SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN SMASH OVER SORA

  • chopepc757 Lc (@chopepc757) reported

    @6amerBr0 Honestly I hope they continue this "Fix it Later" approach cuz it is very funny at this point, plus seeing the reaction of both Nintendo Fans from all saids trying to justify their reasons only to come off as stupid and privileged is funny to see. Lol

  • kidmewtwo kidmewtwo (@kidmewtwo) reported

    After I finish laughing, I start crying because I come back to the realization that Nintendo will never drop any of the SMT games on this service in the West.

  • SoldierDelta SoldierDelta (@SoldierDelta) reported

    @SamusHunter2 I don't have issues with Nintendo having updates... I have issues that the games, inherently at launch, have less content than the same franchises around 10 to 20 years ago. It's using the same model as Smash Ultimate's Fighter Pass or MK8D's Track DLC...

  • GamesandPlays Sakura🌸 (@GamesandPlays) reported

    Legit sick of trying to like relax and not have a panic attack and listen to some of my favorite music and it's. All gone. Nowhere to be seen. Nintendo if you have a problem w/ people reuploading your stuff then take the first step and UPLOAD IT TO YOUR OWN CHANNEL

  • mario123007 Monado Mario (@mario123007) reported

    @JuiceMan_V Lmao that burger analogy is just terrible lol. And heck, at least Nintendo doesn't offer burger that fills with crap and act like it isn't crap or say they'll fix it later lol.

  • Wolf101Gaming GamingWolf101 (@Wolf101Gaming) reported

    So I been noticing Nintendo having problems with there controllers again this time it’s not a drift it’s something else but little easy to fix sometimes the controller will stop working for no reason at all so all you gotta do to make it is plug it back again.

  • SocialNewsFoll1 SocialNewsFollow (@SocialNewsFoll1) reported

    @ImTheRealGalaxy @ZacReid15 @IGN Seems a bit ridiculous. Should just be able to go to the store and pick one up. Haven't had an issue getting a console day one since the original Nintendo. Why now? I've since moved on to PC anyway but still cant believe stock is an issue.

  • SkyeTheNeko SkyeTheNeko Rebrand in progress. Cypher 80% done! (@SkyeTheNeko) reported

    @lilrizk @JAAY_ROCK_ Oh I agree 100% on that but no doubt in my mind Sony over the years have gotten greedier and greedier even Nintendo switched to a sub service and had Virtual Console which was such a good idea.

  • BigJeffB Jeffery Burns (@BigJeffB) reported

    @ShadowFoxArche From a tech perspective looking at the system now I agree with u, the issue comes in that through history Nintendo has not been good about moving digital platforms. Because of that they don’t get the benefit of doubt with digital.

  • Rchqrd Roch🇬🇹 (@Rchqrd) reported

    @dany156 @ReeceForces @FroggyTheMii The issue isn't the lack of content, it's the fact Nintendo is selling an unfinished product and completes it in time under the disguise of "free content".

  • NintendoShame Nintendo Shame (@NintendoShame) reported

    It's been 311 days since the last game was added to the Nintendo Switch Online service

  • TheFanMark1 Swolar Whitemoon (@TheFanMark1) reported

    @N3_Planeswalker @NintendoAmerica @Kaothekangaroo Fr. Literally reminiscent to all those titles. It doesn’t look to bad but we do need Crash on newer platforms though cuz Wrath of Cortex was that series bread and butter

  • miieuthefirst [WGWG] Mii U (@miieuthefirst) reported

    imagine if Nintendo had its own streaming service they'd be like "now introducing mobile streaming from the Nintendo 3DS" and it would suck

  • DanKnowsNothing Daniel (@DanKnowsNothing) reported

    @WorthlessProto4 @NintendoAmerica You do know the Wii online is not working anymore, right?

  • hirai_seiko Seiko Hirai 🎸 (@hirai_seiko) reported

    @Dennis_Pulido That's the problem with those services. Game companies always just add the most popular 20-30 games and leave it at that. Most of the library sadly never gets added. Looking at you, nintendo...

  • UnsavorySalmon SunkenCruiser (@UnsavorySalmon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Wow 7 Free Days of the Worst Online Service Ever??? What a steal for something that isn’t worth 20$ let alone 50$

  • Diego_Solano180 DS (@Diego_Solano180) reported

    @ajrbb2020 @18Aaronboi @6amerBr0 That's the thing People are always shitting on Nintendo for adding extra stuff but if anything they are the lesser evil compared to other sides of the industry. They are nowhere near as bad in the game as a service side as Ubisoft or Square Nintendo fans wouldn't survive that

  • DreamcastTurnip Dreamcastian-Turnip!! (Commissions Open) (@DreamcastTurnip) reported

    @UltimaShadowX I've seen people unironically say "BUT FORTNITE DOES THIS, WHY IS IT A PROBLEM WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT?" Because Fortnite is free This is 60$ and could have an hour worth of content at launch for all we know

  • LoudToon99 LoudToon99 #NewDeal4Animation (@LoudToon99) reported

    @Da_Nintendude Like claiming post-launch content is inherently bad, thinking it's a Nintendo-only issue, or the horrendous misuse of the term "unfinished". I get these games at launch do feel underwhelming, but the way people talk about it, you'd think they have as much content as Ultra Smash.

  • NHToomuchbob Toomuchbob (@NHToomuchbob) reported

    @NintendoAmerica This was my issue with Mario Golf. The game felt sparse and by the time it didn't, I didn't care to play anymore. Maybe I'll pick up strikers once all the content is released but I likely won't at all. Make a game, make it complete, and release, stop the drip feed of content.

  • Padgettville Padgett (@Padgettville) reported

    @ZeroLifex00 I totally understand you wanting to support them having psx games on there but I believe it’s really not asking much for them to swap out PAL roms for NTSC so they run correctly. Nintendo got called out for their n64 service emulation probs too. Should’ve learned from psx classic

  • purplemage572 Purple 紫の (@purplemage572) reported

    @Jewario2 @NintendoAmerica 20 for keeping up online. Like dead serious it's more than likely a problem with your Internet because I know my Internet isn't the best but I've very rarely ever encountered a problem on Nintendo's side.

  • chippitychip1 James McKenna (@chippitychip1) reported

    @TTGames Reported a bug for the Nintendo Switch. Really not a good user experience and very slow turnaround for major issues

  • _T3RIY4KI Teriyaki🍗 (@_T3RIY4KI) reported

    @Gazoogaloo I think the issue is more so that leaving out say characters like nintendo has been recently makes it feel as if the game isnt being released in a completed state as it use to. I get the idea of wanting to elongate a games life with content, but the old games were fine like that

  • LXIVGOLD LXIV✨ (@LXIVGOLD) reported

    @NintendoAmerica If it launches as a complete game without major glitches I don't mind the free updates. However, if it's missing entire key features and barely held together by duct tape and Elmer's glue then that's a definite issue I can't rock with.

  • Skreech321 Skreech (@Skreech321) reported

    "erm, why r u begging the people who make the game to fix it" like u didnt try to do the same when nintendo was taking down tournaments for ur game AND THEN STOPPED WHEN THEY ADDED SEPHIROTH
