    @Zippyzoo324 No, it should be nobody. I don't know why you keep suggesting stupid picks that are obviously not getting in. Save it for your dreams. You really think Nintendo cares? At all? You honestly believe Nintendo would deliver on your request? That's what I thought. Stick with Crash.

    @LonelyGoomba I can’t believe Nintendo got away with calling their next console Wii U though. Like the sound an ambulance makes when it’s coming to pick me up from the school playground after I get beat up by boys with toxic-masculinity problems for owning a Wii U

    @Cagt3000 Dudes played smash for how long and still expects Nintendo to have no part of online lag with their awful online play. Actual ****** clownery

    4. Any crossover DLC's, don't just be Nintendo. Include others. That associate with the Switch or racing. Like Spyro, Sonic, NASCAR, and yes, even Cash Banooka, I mean Crash Bandicoot. Perhaps Disney's Ralph since they mention Mario a bit. And Bowser was there.

    Anyone had luck contacting Nintendo for refunds or digital download questions? They seem to keep their general service contact info hidden pretty well

  • 7Green7Guy7 🏳️‍🌈Jon🏳️‍🌈 #ACAB (@7Green7Guy7) reported

    @TheUncleAlShow Nintendo needs to change weapons, adjust stages, fix unintended exploits, buff/nerf things, ect. And that goes for pretty much all online multiplayer games, so I don't think saying the "finish it later" strategy is a bad thing is all that fair for games like that.

    @TheUncleAlShow Nintendo fans really look at people criticizing plastic and make it a personal issue
