@Icy_Wings I'll give you their treatment of smash; I did forget about that, nintendo's fear of modding is absurd and unwarranted; but fangames are not a nintendo exclusive problem (and neither are rom and emu takedowns, as I've found out looking into it)

@RedGekkouga It had it's upsides and some good games but it did also have some major issues and exemplified some of Nintendo's worst aspects at the time

Just wanted to say that Nintendo support opened at 6AM this morning and by 6:02 Nintendo had solved my problem for me. They rule.

I bet if we all put our minds together we can win this round of @Activision giving the Crash & Spyro IP to at the most @NintendoAmerica that way Crash & Spyro will have more opportunities like merch, crossovers like with Kirby, Mario, and maybe even more games #freethebandicoot

@TechConnectify I unfortunately don't have any stories of this myself (although I've yet to test a "for parts/as-is" GameCube I got...), but I've seen a YouTuber buy a "broken" Nintendo 64 from eBay — only to find it worked perfectly and was simply missing a Jumper Pak and thus wouldn't boot

@SnazzyQ every other console lets you just use an external hard drive on another system, why can't nintendo let you transfer micro SD cards without any issue?

@IGN Does this mean third party screen protectors is stacking on the present protective screen? Cause the first party Nintendo Switch OLED case comes with a screen protector? Kinda weird issue with screen protectors...

@badvgtakes They would pick Sora over Crash They did Nintendo and Sony are rivals, they've been rivals since the 90's

oled tv's have a feature that slightly shift the pixels so burn in doesn't occur. game screens are always changing. if oled burn in was a problem for switch nintendo wouldn't have done it. sony did it in 2012 but stopped because it was too expensive

@JPT_LeGiND @Parappa_GANG Should we pay $40 for a broken game because we're mad at Nintendo? 😡🤬🤬😤😡😡😈😈😈

@Noxyfied Yeah I can see the problem haha. This actually happened with me on forums leading up to PlayStation All-Stars. That game was gonna kill Smash and ruin Nintendo... and then the game released

People who support Nintendo with their Switch OLED for $350 are part of the problem.

@impulsebynature @AidenRS139 That's an issue with Nintendo removing creativity, not cutting corners If you want a game that cut corners look at paper jam, that **** can be beat under an hour through glitches

@NsaunFrey that's my understanding too, people didn't buy enough on the Virtual Console. But that had a whole host of other issues, like Nintendo's poor account system through the years

@Laphicet0 because it saves effort and needless hate because someone doesn't understand how to do a (seemingly) basic thing leading them to blame it on game design. also they clearly discovered it by trail and error but Nintendo could've added a hint incase someone got stuck there

@jkohlmann I know they were first but I wish Nintendo would take the L and follow suit. PlayStation is different enough altogether that it’s not really an issue

@not8_bit @VG247 yea i felt like i wasted money on sword... and i'm not going to do the same error anymore x_x" why such a good franchise is made by such incompetent selfish greedy people/company... (and i don't mean nintendo, but i'm sure they're also part of the problem)

@Corronchilejano @TimMEsports @jasonschreier I don’t have an issue with Nintendo at all. In fact I genuinely rate them from a business standpoint. If I could make complete garbage and sell it to millions of people at full price 5 years later I’d do the same. The community however is no different to the sports gamers

@AAWGame Any idea why it's taking so long? I don't think it usually does, unless they are finding bugs. I know @RetrosoftStudio had an issue with Nintendo certification. Maybe they can help speed the process?
