@seatha_ I didn’t play Octo Expansion thanks to a glitch in Nintendo Eshop when trying to get it back and try it again.

@nindillwastaken @Thermoxin Oh wow the most popular Nintendo franchise is getting so much rep. The problem is that fire emblem is stealing slots for interesting characters.

@ShitStyner Properties like them are like super jump shounen that glorify certain aspects of japan or japanese media culture and may blind the viewer to very real or inherent problems due to lack of knowledge. This is my big issue with nintendo as a whole tbh.

@reddeadrevenge2 @FinaticalGamer @GameSpot BOTW is also a first-party release, a current-gen title, and completely worth the price. I wouldn't even hold them to that standard! Nintendo's shop does have the same problem though.

I've reached a point where I'd rather have dumb nintendo fans on my notifs falling for the same broken switch jpeg bait than argue about smash bros.

Biker Crash
(@CrashSpyroBanjo) reported
@nintendolife People, Toys For Bob have zero say in Crash being in Smash. It's entirely between Nintendo and Activision as Nintendo owns Smash and Activision owns Crash

@NateAndDestroy Nintendo being frugal makes no sense when they make 90% revenue from switch physical of first party - but yeah makes sense for crash

@Siliconinsid At the time, I believe it was intended not about copy protection but rather to enforce the Nintendo Seal of Quality, keeping others from publishing poor-quality games like those that caused the video game crash of 1983.

@rayeo_tnj No, Just no. There's plenty of things GDQ could have done before, and after, to not have this as an issue. Saying that cause I like to say SNES, and someone else like to say Super Nintendo, doesn't mean one of us did the right thing and the other did. GDQ just needs to be better.

@nintendolife Remember, NDAs and confidentiality agreements exist. Now I honestly doubt Crash will get in. Wouldn't Nintendo/Sakurai want them to keep their mouths shut?

@AlbertoF321 Why did Nintendo think it was a good idea to add Byleth into Smash Ultimate? You would think the balancing team would do a better job but NOPE, just littered with broken moves.

@HeyRobert07 @GameSpot No, Nintendo kinda sucks too. The problem is that while a lot of digital games on PSN are multiplatform, Nintendo's digital games are exclusive to their storefront. So it's not like you could go to another site and get Mario or Zelda for cheaper digitally.

@2WayIntrsctn @NotLuigiMaxwell @MonkeyDLenny I see Nintendo adding a Japanese character more then crash. Personally

@TheUncleAlShow Your thread on the Switch's lineup was still flawed. Nintendo can do better for sure, but removing games for arbitrary reasons, I don't see how by that point people would take issue.

Hey @NintendoAmerica I have a question for you: What is causing people’s Switch consoles to lose the ability to properly disconnect from wireless communication to allow other devices (phones, other consoles, etc.) to not be able to connect via local connection? -read more-

@ThisIsITalk Nah... I'll only end up replacing them in 3 months because of joycon drift anyway. FIX IT, NINTENDO.

@2KSupport I am playing NBA 2k20 on my Nintendo Switch and I have had problems with injured players that I can’t play with in the Quick Play game option. It is saying players are out several months. Is there a fix for this?

@ADCARTATTACK The only game company I’ve seen have an issue is Nintendo but they have been better recently. It could get taken down if there is copy written music but most games have a stream friendly mode.

@TheUncleAlShow @CommunistPrtyAC But you keep acting like all of your cricism is just blind loyalty to Nintendo. I have as much as a problem with that as the next guy, but your OP was filled with removing and keeping games for arbitrary decisions. It's fine, good, to criticize them, but you're just attacking

@thenoosh22 @MtxWrl @UNTDrew Yeah this isn't exactly a new new issue, i noticed my stream got hit when streaming Death Stranding a while back and that never really got addressed. Companies like Nintendo don't care about streamers but I'm glad others are paying attention

@TylerWinstead8 @nintendolife no and that doesn't conform anything either they just said Its not up to them If Crash will be In Smash (Its probably up to Activision and Nintendo If he's In or not)

@LostUser64 @Akfamilyhome Pretty sure you can, check if anyone else has issues with a specific game though as while the switch isnt region locked Nintendo doesn’t guarantee there will be no issues.
