This being said, super proud of the Splatoon community for their actions today, Im sorry it resulted in "executional errors." Hopefully Nintendo will stop digging their grave sometime soon

@NintendoAmerica I realize that the person reading this has no decision making powers over corporate policy, but could you consider letting your boss know that killing fan content and ignoring complaints won't fix anything? The company is antagonizing itself for no real benefit.

@Sw0rdmstr @IntroSpecktive I'm just gonna assume you're stupid. It's been about a year dumbass. And if you don't recall people tried to give Ultimate a chance. But as usual it's online is garbage. And instead of fixing it Nintendo went silent for months on end and still ignores the issue. That's on them

@StardustAmoeba nah at least disney cares to put most of its back catalog on a streaming service and at least nintendo is making good new games and ideas instead of nostalgia jerking like disney is doing rn

@noimjory I think the issue that a lot of people are having is more that Nintendo is consistently shutting down Melee stuff, more akin to if Ed Boon sent an ultimate MK3 tournament a C&D.

@ispatrickstarme @SantaDecides With nintendo it's not the quality of the products themselves but it's what the company itself is doing. For example: Claiming joycon drift isn't a real problem Selling emulations for full retail but then ceasing production And the #freemelee situation

@NintendoAmerica someone needs to leak who in japan we can pressure to get this smash issue resolved.

@GaminGrimm Yeah, because lumping everyone who just wanted to have some fun with Melee during this awful year regarding of COVID to the actual toxic part of the fanbase means Nintendo was on the right. You are part of the problem.

I am sorry that Nintendo has decided to be like this, re: melee. But, between my Nintendo Switch breaking -for no reason-, my joycons drifting, having bought a pair of joycons that came BROKEN ALREADY, I don't think I give a single **** about Nintendo anymore.

@IntroSpecktive I don't understand, though. Is there something wrong with the Melee community or the Nintendo company? What is the problem?

Smash community is so stupid to me. Never seen a group of people that hated Nintendo and even insulting Nintendo while still giving Nintendo money and supporting Nintendo. It just makes that community look stupid. You have a problem with Nintendo? Stop supporting Nintendo.

(@thelenorca) reported
@Yoshils So the problem is Nintendo isn't happy that one Melee player made better netcode than them and the Melee scene is thriving more than the Ult scene, so instead of supporting them in any aspect or even just letting them have the scene through this pandemic, they're just like NAAAH

Nintendo really is digging their own grave at this point. There’s a clear problem here. Nintendo communities supporting each other and Nintendo striking them down. Really alienating your communities Nintendo. Really embarrassing.

@bloggospow @swooper_d Can confirm the EU version of Shoot 1UP DX for Switch has been delayed for release until approx 11 Jan due to paperwork issue. The US version is on the Nintendo Store so use NordVPN or similar to appear as american and get it that way then make a 2nd US profile to play. 👍

I hope online retailers do something about the bot-powered scalping problem. I'm not paying $1200 for a Series X. They're gonna lose a lot of money when Sony and MS, yknow, manufacture more consoles. This isn't some limited Nintendo product we're talking about here.

Nintendo is pretty much that one mean security guard lady at lunch who all the kids try to hide their toys from so they don't get in trouble #FreeMelee

@LeKingFondue @TAHK0 @TrainerTrevino nintendo has had backwards compatibility on every single one of their main handhelds, so i don’t think that would be an issue

@emo_and_trans Well, other stuff like their shitty Online Service and overpriced ports from previous gens are other stuff that Nintendo needs to fix.

@that1motherfan @IntroSpecktive I’m also not exactly sure if it’s just nintendo of America that has this issue... I had a poll about it, but I didn’t set it long enough so there were only five votes

@RykerDotJPG That should be any community. It’s a constant issue that needs to be addressed, but Nintendo seems to try and distance itself from that instead of facing it head on.

@The_Leaf1 That's the problem. Nintendo doesn't care and will continue to get away with screwing over the scene. Compaines see potential with smash being the biggest game, and Nintendo has given them the could shoulder. Nintendo won't leave us alone. Nintendo doesn't care.

@Warchamp7 @Smashboards @VenustoBloom it's annoying to be caught in the middle, I'm not absolving Nintendo remotely, they're still the key problem This doesn't help anything though
