@NintendoAmerica Also I have extremely good internet and wired connection and even I have problems with it…I cannot support this

@UltimaShadowX @SuperButterBuns Honestly seems like the IP itself wasn't as much of an issue as it was Disney, which is understandable. I'm honestly sure Disney was 100% cool with working with Nintendo for Sora, the problem was the non KH factors that even Disney themselves likely wouldn't know how to handle

@Vixenility I think the major issue is that Nintendo generally doesn't like their content on other platforms. Like in Rocket League, everything Nintendo-themed gets reskinned on different consoles despite crossplay. So maybe if there's a Switch-exclusive KH spinoff.

@NintendoAmerica Hopefully that more information comes in the form of a subscription service for an instant library of cloud games, instead of paying full price for a single game I cannot own physically.

@CanadianGator not exclusives to nintendo, but launched to switch only as a cloud service game, yes they're still trying to make people play those, and with KH of all things

@ydnkm @ThatDratini It's a classic Concern Troll of acting like there's a problem with something just for the sake of creating negativity. They don't actually care about the game, they just want to make Nintendo and it's fans feel doubt.

Aight flat out Smash should not be done with their work. Nintendo NEEDS to fix their damn net code.

@oldschoolfrisby @GamesRadar Basically it's not running off the actual Nintendo switch but hardware from online. Basically means you have to be connected to the internet at all times to play it and there's a ton of input lag and lag in general if your internet isn't perfect and your switch isn't hardwired in

@NintendoAmerica So this game series becoming available via cloud service is a boon and I don't care if I need to stay home to play it with good internet connection; the fact I'm finally able to play through the whole series on a Nintendo system is enough for me

@NightSkyPrince_ Wonder if it’ll be a whatever the hell nintendo calls it’s online rom service exclusive

(@Kalaam_Nozalys) reported
This also leads to the issue of nintendo neglecting their own smaller IPs, and yeah while in theory opening to 3rd party means "more possible characters" in practice it mainly means "the hot topic characters of the last 2 to 3 years".

It's a core problem with NFTs or Steam Inventory or even Nintendo Amiibos. Everyone has to agree on the meaning of these things and that'd ruin the point.

@bloopah1 @Lord_Neo_Slime @NintendoAmerica I get that. But it’s better than nothing. Crash, Goku and tons of others didn’t make it. If Sora wouldn’t have made it as a character I would’ve gladly taken a skin

@marthropos halo didn’t reshape games so no master crash owned by playstation and already in the sony fighting game idk why anyone thought they’d give that ip up to nintendo

@falsegabe @FlorkOfCows @NintendoAmerica They'll make more money this way I'm sure; it might be a marketing strategy to get more people subscribing to the online service, especially with the new subscription tier they just added.

It does help that I have 3 broken fingers right now, but tbh I have been burnt out on video games for a while now. I wish I could feel the excitement others feel when it comes to something like a new Smash fighter announcement or things in a Nintendo Direct but I just don't.

@b_banner_ @BestBuyCanada @NintendoAmerica Dude leave these people alone, you had the second batch of shipments. Sorry your expectations were broken but this is all your fault

@ZimSanYT @SuperButterBuns Regretfully the Smash community has bad actors. Why do you think Nintendo has issues with the community? Anyway, I'd the worst happens and someone really horrible mains Sora and bad **** comes out, Disney will not like that. Sounds ridiculous right? It's not. It's Disney.

@codysoyeah If they make another Smash Bros. (which I doubt is ever going to happen for a new Nintendo console in the future), Crash would finally make it in.

@LoganSSBM @ryobeat I mean the first couple minutes of the sephiroth vid were leffen calling out Nintendo. You can do a youtube video while still addressing problems.

@UmarYusha3 @LengMong The Nintendo audience is the exact problem.

@joshhuski @dbzanto Not really. Smash went from using just Nintendo characters to characters from other game franchises & companies. So, Nick All Stars could do the same no problem if it does well.

@LumieeGalaxy @NintendoAmerica Whats the problem whit the sword? His moveset is totally different from any other character

@PomerleauCedric @EvNix UK, Australia and Japan are in the same ~50% ballpark when it comes to marketshare. The judge didn’t find Apple’s app distribution monopoly as such to be an issue. Sony, MS and Nintendo do the same. And Google, in practice. There is no life outside Play in Western markets.

@Yemslol1 @NintendoUK Even if your connection j is a fast enough, what happens when there’s an outage, like Facebook yesterday? What happens when the servers are no longer supported?

@abeflorida @Riddlesmk I heard just KH3. Cloud service imo is even more of a reason to steer clear. Make Nintendo actually update their outdated hardware so they don't need to rely on cloud you feel me?
