@JudgementNut It’s ****** up because Nintendo has shown that they have the capacity to offer a better service than current emulation, the Fire Emblem rerelease that has a new localisation is probably gonna be the best way to play that game, why they can’t just do more like that is beyond me

@KeyDedede @AwesomeDSFan Like even if they do, it's 1. Not your problem 2. Nintendo's fault for not having competent online for over 12 years

@DDubgaming Each time I have sent Joy cons to Nintendo its quick. This time, sent them on Friday last week, received Wednesday. Time before that was maybe a day longer. Been less than a week each time for me. Ive only sent ones during this year and service was fast.

I've been playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity all day and I wonder if Nintendo will reimburse me for the doctors visit I'm going to need to fix my broken hands.

nintendo makes good games, but they're astonishingly terrible with letting you enjoy them in a certain way, or even at all. piracy of their older titles are going to continue being an issue until nintendo leans how to offer them consistently

Dang, what IS Nintendo planning for April Fool's next year? New online service? Seems like A LOT of stuff is ending March 31st.

@IronJoeBro Wrong? Absolutely. But Let's not get Nintendo mootives twisted with speculation. As the issue seem very simple. They hate 3rd Party Emulation and Copying and have since the 90's and have gone through STUPID Lengths to curb it.

@gfjklopkr Entitled to what? Not have a online tournament shut down? You can say whatever u want about the community but arguably Nintendo’s stance on the issue is largely divorced from their perception of the Melee scene

What entitles Nintendo to keep a monopoly over the gamecube games they are not even selling anymore? What service are they providing? Why can't other people provide those games and those services if Nintendo won't do it?

#FreeMelee Pabs
(@Pabmyster04) reported
@sora4smash2020 @KabutoGroupChat @NintendoAmerica If by 8 you mean over 2000-3000, then yeah it's an issue. Because that's how big the Nintendo "sponsored" major events normally are. Ultimate online is borderline unplayable in tourney, and Melee doesn't have alternatives other than our fan made ones. It's tough enough as it is

I tried to buy the Nintendo Switch bundle on Walmart for the second time today. Is there a error happening or something? It shouldn’t be sold out 10 secs after its release right??

Not able to get a Nintendo switch for the kids because the Walmart black Friday is not working. Very disappointing @Walmart we have been waiting all week for this sale.

@marthgrabrange @couch_crumb @ReeveIsMe I thought they got rid of Slippi too and Slippi was how y’all were playing online right? If Slippi still exist then what’s the issue? If y’all wanna live stream then use IG live or something, Nintendo can’t shut down IG lol

(@wizrad) reported
@superporing Exactly. And emulating games that you own already is fine. And tbh games from the nes days and all that... I don't see as a big issue either. But people are legit trying to justify pirating new games on switch. Its despicable. Not just hurting Nintendo its hurting the developers.

(@jarod_frye) reported
@IronJoeBro Which leads to what I am about to say. They got the receipts and proof of legit boxed copies? Tell Nintendo to **** off. Unless Slippi is the problem here...which Nintendo won't have a Leg to stand on in court. Because they've literally sponsored tourneys that used P:M

@bunnnui @turndownforwalt @NintendoAmerica ??????????? You are aware that predators will continue to be predatory outside of any venue they are a part of, don't you? The problem is the person, not the game/event. This is the most braindead logic I've ever stumbled upon.

There have to be few things worse, tech-wise, than camping the @walmart site to get the Nintendo switch, then, when you successfully get it into your cart in the SECOND after they "restock" - you hit check-out and: We're sorry. An error has occurred. Please return to your cart.

@RidiculousHat @Hylung @Dan97730773 The pro controllers are so good we switched and haven’t looked back. I also heard that Nintendo would fix them but never looked into it.

@IGN It's really not; piracy hasn't been a 'big issue' in years, and whenever it's popped up, providing good access to the product being pirated has drastically reduced said piracy. Maybe Nintendo should work on providing better access to its library of games.

@Walmart you guys need to fix your #BlackFriday sales online. I’ve been on since 7pm and literally waiting with the Nintendo switch in my cart and it’s sold out on the dot every single time, for the last 3 restocks. This is awful.
