  @TheKingOfKingK Also, a good word of thumb for this Amiibo problem. Go buy an NFC tag on Amazon or ebay. That way you get the benefits of the amiibo, but don't give Nintendo money. Their loss, your gain. And hopefully that becomes more popular as an alternative to the point Nintendo lose more.

  @IronJoeBro @golden_aion What Nintendo does is divisive, some think it’s bullshit, some think it’s fair game, some don’t care, but ultimately it’s trivial. What’s happening at Activision is MUCH WORSE. It’s not even debatable. If you’re bitching about the former but not the latter, YOU have a problem!

  @TuboWare strive should have no problem running at 60fps on that. I'd imagine most fighting games will be shooting for that target if they want people to play them anyways. This isn't Nintendo we're dealing with.

  @TheMaractusMan @MiiCostumeGuy @NintendoAmerica i mean the framerate is not a problem for me even tho its a bit annoying but its not everytime its just a random timining and some games do drop framerates anyway.

  @Nintendeal The main issue I can see with the Steam Deck is that it might not have as big of an audience that the Switch has. The Switch has exclusive titles and the Nintendo household name. Sure people could emulate, but while being illegal it is also not as accessible to casual audiences.

  @Nintendo where's the streets of rage 4 DLC? It's been a whole week of hold ups! I would have bought it on a different system if I knew this was an issue for you guys!📢

  @Chomper_NG Understandable. I mean I’d be pissed off if Nintendo had this kind of thing going on considering Mario and Zelda are my childhood. People probably just misunderstood what you said and thought that you thought crash was more important than what was happening.

  @WhoDey9to1 @Woshigigan @Nymo Probably had to do with copyright issues. Nintendo is infamous for those. As someone who’s spent hundreds of hours on my switch it’s one of the worst parts of the company. Probably due to the difference between japanese and western markets

  @Roblox_RTC nintendo items i could see being taken down because its owned by nintendo right , so if someone made a mario hat on roblox then totally it'd get taken down , but i don't see the issue if the game is open source , especially with the fnf games on roblox

  @228Mathieu @AWonderfulSound @NintendoAmerica Stares at mass effect legendary edition for $60 Stares at Crash N'sane trilogy for $40 Stares at Spyro Reignited trilogy for $40 Stares at Super Mario 3D Allstars for $60 "Yep, seems legit"

  @Nintendeal If switch isn’t getting a pro model or 2nd gen model than Nintendo is in trouble, and the switch’s library is fine but I wish it had more hardcore games like a COD or a GTA, or portal, which is exactly what the steamdeck’s gonna have.

  It feels like crash and nintendo comparisons are way more important to people

  @FGFrost7 And clarification, the Tweet was targeting on those who are silent or not vocal on the lawsuit, but treat Nintendo anti consumer practices as like the worst thing ever. THOSE guys are the problem. But criticize both in a proper manner that's totally fine.

  The fact that Legend of Zelda #SkywardSwordHD is inaccessible is a HUGE failing by @NintendoAmerica. The motion controls are literally inaccessible to so many people, it makes gameplay nearly impossible. Please fix this and make it accessible for people!!

  @Nintendeal There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Deck entering the market, more ways for people to play, more the merrier, I don't have any issue with it (and don't see why any Nintendo fan would). As far as sales numbers go however, I don't see it "beating" the Switch.

  @m_rizky_gumilar @Nintendeal Let's be honest Nintendo's marketing has been horrible lately like I know they're always been greedy but at this point they're just blatantly telling us on camera. Problem with the switch right now is that its been 4 years already and its used the same hardware and day 1 issues

  @LapinStephy We have so. So. So. Many joysticks and pro controllers and they’re all broken Probably like $300 worth of unusable controllers. I need to get my husband to send them to Nintendo to fix but it’s such a dang hassle

  @NabbitFan730 @AboutNintendo Just goes to show that its not the severity of what Nintendo is doing is the problem, its whether or not Nintendo does it at all It happened with drift, paid online, and now more or less this

  @JonComms Please Nintendo, buy the rights of Crash Bandicoot before Sony gets them.

  @sleepyauto from what i've seen, it's been about holding nintendo up to a higher standard with the switch. i'm a huge switch fan but i can admit they've been really anti-consumer in some spots, and people hope that the steam deck will give them a need to fix some of that.

  @OMGTheMess I’ll bet there are kids who have never broken the law who would like Nintendo’s while they were locked in their homes 23/24 hours a day #ThanksDan

  @Dotemu @lizardcube @Guard_Crush So what was the initial issue? I know y‘all blaming Nintendo for validation and all, but what was the initial hickup?

  @jtoresson I think I must have played II - I was totally sold on it by an issue of Nintendo Power magazine in 1991.

  @PeanutButterGmr @Nintendeal Wasn’t the Vita’s downfall a lack of compelling software? Unless the Steam Deck is just a bad piece if equipment, I don’t see there being an issue. Besides, how many potential Nintendo customers is it really going to steal? 🤔

  it interferes with actual matches to the point where sometimes literally players can not do anything to those who have leveled up items, etc. The game overall is too broken and this a game i actually enjoyed as well, its a big shame nintendo n tencent love ruining good things.
