@otaku_ryozero @BTaeter @NintendoAmerica Or they could just use an emulator and bump up the rendering scale. Dolphin works fine for that if you know how to optimize it and get rid of the lag that i see a lot of people facing. Or maybe they all have crappy computers.. who knows.

@grantkirkhope @Chris_Dring I'd like it to be on all platforms if possible. I loved Nintendo, but they are not my console of choice these days with the Switch. 2 pairs of broken controllers, no virtual console, and running third party games at lower res and frame rates. I'd buy for PC or PS5.

@Facts_About_BK even less appealing to the consumer, especially since Xbox is an entirely different market than what Nintendo had been. There's a disconnect somewhere, and it's doing more harm than good, even if the games DO perform well.

@mikexu_ I love that they are adding these! That said, it doesn't appear you can purchase them yet. Upon trying to complete checkout, Nintendo's website has an error and won't finalize the purchase

There were side quests that could be downloaded via Nintendo WiFi connection. Seeing as that service is, well, dead, I wonder if I can just activate those side quests via cheat codes?

another nail in the coffin for nintendo content creators though also the random DMCA problem is **** and super bad but again I wonder how enforceable that is

@Nintendrew_ Couldn't they refer you by your name or is it money that's the issue? You're great man, felt the should refer you by name and not just some Nintendo Youtuber otherwise some will say, which Nintendo Youtuber, there's like millions.

I think the only theory for Smash Characters is that Character or its games must have been on a Nintendo Console at one point. Ever character in the roster has been on a Nintendo console. So this could exclude company Characters Like Master chief or Kratos for example. But Crash

At this point it's pretty sad we can't call out issues on both sides without people assuming we're Nintendo bootlickers.

Streams may be postponed indefinitely. Apartment was broken into while I was visiting my mom. My CPU, Limited Edition AC Nintendo Switch, my stereo, and assorted figurines were taken. I don't know when I'll be streaming again. It'll take time to save up for a new computer.

The main issue with the #FreeMelee movement is that its major supporters are: unwilling to engage with any dissenting opinions, resort to insults to express their stance (i.e. "**** Nintendo", "Shill"), and think that spamming the hashtag will fix everything.

So if your @NintendoAmerica Switch JoyCons have already been repaired for drift issues will Nintendo fix it again if the bumpers stop working?

there should be fair ways to compensate the artist while allowing for fair usage. to be very clear, i support artists owning the rights to their music and having more control of their assets. this problem extends to nintendo as well.

@TAHK0 Only one I can really think of is Crash. Honestly if Crash isn't one of the 3 remaining characters I'm certain that Nintendo asked and Activision somehow refused. For the record, I have absolutely no connection or nostalgia to Crash. I've never even played any of his games.

@MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoVS i made a reply making fun of nintendo's weird marketing and you're the one getting all defensive about it. its not "a horrible problem", it's just weird

@subtoconnorpls It just seems like the same problem with Nintendo. There are actual issues with the company and complaints from the community are being swept under the rug while doing **** like this.

@Anything4Orbs @bogamedia @NintendoAmerica I hope you did not get 1 from a scalper cause you wasted extra money for a system that does not that many new games and could have bad defective glitch's / features like a lot of other game launches

@Saberbolt1 Nintendo, Sony, and Sega. Sorry Microsoft you haven’t done much for me besides have Banjo Kazooie which was originally from Nintendo. Also I don’t think I can survive without Persona, Sonic, Mario, Spyro, or Crash.

(@DWD1981) reported
@grantkirkhope @Chris_Dring Yep, exactly. Crash is (at least originally) a PlayStation mascot and Banjo is now owned by Microsoft, but I guarantee you they would both sell many magnitudes better on a Nintendo system. The fan base clearly just isn’t there on PS or Xbox.
