    @NintendoAmerica @Wario64 Crash bandicoot please

  • AgentCucco Ella | Cuccommissions are open! (@AgentCucco) reported

    @elitetweet_bird They tryna put a bandaid on all the **** they've done in the past week. My bet is in Crash, but an uninspired and lame character instead of a good Crash, because Nintendo is sure as hell going to **** this up too, lol.

  • Gr1e7mann ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ President of AOC fan club &santa believer🎄 (@Gr1e7mann) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Please be Crash please im begging

  • WingSSBU Wing (@WingSSBU) reported

    The fighter tonight better be crash or rayman. Though witj all these bad business decisions that Nintendo is making, it’s gonna be fortnite

  • Konata990 Jonah (@Konata990) reported

    @tripleafrog_ @TaigaIsMyWaifu Ngl I was in the same situation just now when smash's next fighter was announced, but this tweet does make me realize something, nintendo are only trying to avoid the problems they are now facing by giving us our christmas present early, hoping it will calm us down.

  • SplashD0wn ꨄVviaxꨄ (@SplashD0wn) reported

    @HotGirlVideos69 Will there be any news on an upcoming splatoon game?? I see nintendo is having some issues right now with consumers

  • _ShroomAbuser_ _ShroomAbuser_ (@_ShroomAbuser_) reported

    @IzzyKArts @superspyro3000 @Radshyguy I love Nintendo but I genuinely can't defend them on this ****, the problem is that THEY are keeping people from enjoying their games and properties by doing really pointless and stupid **** like this. And even then you can still love the devs and hate the company

  • realboser boser (@realboser) reported

    @NintendoAmerica plz be crash

  • ACaboodl AnimatedCaboodl (@ACaboodl) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Maybe Bandana Dee, Crash Bandicoot, and god please not another FE character

  • Santiago1589548 Santiago Gomez (@Santiago1589548) reported

    @NintendoES 8to dlc Crash bandicoot

  • mirrorgempins mirrorgempins (@mirrorgempins) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash bandicoot please

  • gaugemto Gauge (@gaugemto) reported

    @177p1 Probably not because if you sign in with your Nintendo account and they sign out of theirs you'll have the game on your console but you won't be able to run it because you don't have it purchased on your account. If it comes with the account on it then you should be all right.

  • NIK_FAX FAX | 📠 (@NIK_FAX) reported

    @therealkschill @NintendoAmerica Dude. I am calling crash bandicoot

  • Hubaduba_Tron Hubaduba Tron (@Hubaduba_Tron) reported

    I think we should all tune in for Sakurai and the team, Until Nintendo decides to fix their utter joke of a company we should at least respect the hard work the developers are putting into these games we love

  • LabCat12 LabCat (@LabCat12) reported

    Excited to see #Nintendo issue a cease and desist during #TheGameAwards because someone in the audience dared to wear a hat that vaguely resembled Mario's! 🥳🥳

  • AlejandroXGonz1 Alejandro X. Gonzalez (@AlejandroXGonz1) reported

    @bandicootpage @NintendoAmerica It got to be him if the five year Activision plan with Crash has come true something like NST for SW,Xbox and PC,CTR,CRASH4,Crash movil game and the final ting to conclude him joyning smash bros for 2021

  • tyler_2127 ty_the_guy (@tyler_2127) reported

    @NintendoAmerica **** it, if it’s Fortnite I don’t care. Minecraft is in it, so I guess it’s fine. If it’s Jonesy I’ll just be disappointed Master Chief or like Crash Bandicoot didn’t make it in first

  • HjartaStudios Frozen Hjarta (@HjartaStudios) reported

    I think Nintendo is only announcing a character just to try and save face with the Smash community and the character probably will be like Joker. Be announced early, little to no gameplay, and be released a few months later. Also, I have a gut feeling it's gunna be crash.

  • MazakuDX Mazaku DX (@MazakuDX) reported

    @JoyToon3 @Clowfoe I doubt the family owns or has liscenced the brand. If they had they could just issue a C&D like nintendo and sue for damages. If it's not trademarked it's fair use.

  • PieMan24601 Chris 🦊 (@PieMan24601) reported

    @Sparkygiantpika Oh absolutely, that would be horrible to them. This is a corporate nintendo issue, Sakurai had nothing to do with it.

  • OhHeyItsYaBoi3 ☃️❄️OhHeyItsYaFestiveBoi❄️☃️ (@OhHeyItsYaBoi3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Either the halo soldier, crash bandicoot, Waluigi, Spyro, or a character from Skylanders ://

  • mariolover4381 Adam and Friends (@mariolover4381) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Crash and Sora are likely. But Henry Stickmin and Among Us is not happening because those 2 are not on Nintendo consoles. That's what I think.

  • Kevin_Keyblade Apollyon #Sora4Smash (@Kevin_Keyblade) reported

    @tayedeacon_ @itbetheplantman @NintendoAmerica Yeah, so? Is there a problem?

  • ewIvv . (@ewIvv) reported

    Um. Did you know you can send in your broken joycons to Nintendo for FREE? And they repair and send them back? I did that and now I can play Zelda again in peace

  • duncasterwood Dunky Donuts (@duncasterwood) reported

    @RTGameCrowd @NintendoAmerica Imagine thinking they’d pick her over Crash if it comes to an Activision-Blizzard rep

  • SupTheGamer Sup Holidays | #BlackLivesMatter (@SupTheGamer) reported

    @HeeHooPeenut455 @DoxycDreamer @NintendoAmerica “the best possible time to release him if they've been working on him.” Saying that doesn’t mean he is the reveal. They are not working on him regardless of the want. The best possible time would be someone else. Not Sora. Plus it’s the beginning of the show.

  • HatsoonayMeeku Life is Soup and I'm a Fork (@HatsoonayMeeku) reported

    @Foulowe59 @NintendoAmerica I would've preferred it if Etikas brother at least DMd him first since this seems mainly to be an issue between them more than anything. Instead this has escalated publicly and it's everyone's business now. If they asked him to stop and then he didn't it would be another story.

  • migizuri 🌴Migizuri (@migizuri) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Guys, I'm calling it. It's gotta be Master Chief or Crash Bandicoot. Or any major 3rd party character.

  • AndresZayas14 🎂Andres64DD🎂 (@AndresZayas14) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I guess something like crash or maybe a new sonic character would be good

  • tmorris1006 Tyler Morris (@tmorris1006) reported

    @trevvifountain @NintendoAmerica What about Crash?? 😎
