@dark1x Also the BR online store sells a small selection of games, nowhere near the complete catalog other countries get - you have to switch countries to get the larger selection. Nintendo Online does work, and you can get it without major issues.

@KogasaGaSagasa @stardewleaf @NintendoAmerica Like you've gone from a sane point to asking NoA for something completely bananas, so I don't understand the disconnect here

@pots_423 It's not canon even though it was marketed as the prequel. Nintendo didnt work directly with this game. The Masterwork book is canon. And I specifically mean the japanese book as there are also translation errors in creating a Champion.

It seems like alot is going on behind the scenes. Not sure what is going on but I may do a real talk segment on my secondary channel to share my views on the potential issues that has befallen the Nintendo Youtube network community I used to be deeply affliated with.

there is something odd about smg and smg2, sometimes when running in a direction, mario or luigi will start running in a circle by themselves! it kind of ruins gameplay at times, wonder if nintendo could fix this and does anyone else have this weird problem too?

@ashcakesrawr I’m not sure! They registered their switch as our main one so Nintendo is trying to deactivate it right now but they’re having trouble 😭

@LTGuy16 @RyobeatPeach I'm not a lawyer, but it seems hosting a for profit event using an unauthorised modification for their intellectual property is grounds for c&d. I agree it's shitty behaviour but it's ridiculous to think Nintendo would issue this stuff with no grounds.

@folkbum 2016 MacBook Air. I think it's a space issue or I'm asking a lot of it, having worked from home on it for eight months. How do I do the Nintendo, blow in the cartridge and put it back in? That's all I wanna do. lol

@FightClubHuBBs @RLHasABadIdea Still my issue is that melee players are wondering why this is happening as they admit that they are not using means provided by Nintendo and the initial use of those means. Its like I know i got suspended for using PEDS.. but I dont understand why

Hey @nintendoamerica can we get a modern console reboot of Donkey Kong 64? This is the game I played more than Crash or Spyro, and they got reboots. It would be amazing to play DK64 with modern controls and graphics. Maybe even cross-platform. @bluepointgames @toysforbob

@ChazAriaLLC @boop_bloopfgc You can say, "Well everyone is doing it," but tough ****. The law requires evidence. This is all an assumption, one which Nintendo would have to prove every, single person is illegally emulating. That's the problem, you are slandering by not having deniable proof of your claims.

So now the system will be being returned to the store I purchased it from and I will be selling my entire #Sony #PlayStation collection for me to be refused help on a 500 dollar item is unacceptable. I have never had a issue like this with Microsoft or Nintendo

(@testament101) reported
@vDeadbolt @FGC_Dad That's the problem. Nintendo has made it abundantly clear that they don't care about the tournament scene all that much. They don't really want other people making money off their games, which is 100% what it is.

@dansalvato Nintendo is dumb they don't even have the ability to make a server that runs that good for a lag free experience but no they want you to pay for some shitty online experience even in an old game smash melee it's not like they're loosing money from that game

@nullGS It’s made even funnier because this isn’t even JUST a Nintendo problem. EA tried pulling the same thing with Star Wars games and didn’t get to get away with it because that fanbase is scarier. Just like EA, Nintendo deserves to be called out. IP abuse at its finest.

@Nekochanboy2 @FinalApex_ @SpawnWaveMedia I expect a console to run first party nintendo games well. 3rd party is what it is. But if nintendo games run like crap on a Nintendo platform there is a problem. 1080p 60fps should be the standard.

@nostaljem If Nintendo locked it they would be facing these issues company wide. For them it is better to keep it unlocked and allow anyone to use what they want however they want. To not face public repercussion and possibly lawsuits (with how some people are).

@Optimus97100 That moment when we can all agree with that fact. Pearl is older than the squid sister the squid sisters are older than Marina and Marina is 20 by now. For **** sakes Nintendo told us their actual ages, is this going to be another mega man time skip problem but worst?

This whole freemelee thing doesn’t affect me, but i understand the issue. I love nintendo, most of what they do is pretty cool, but they should find solutions to the problems we’re solving if they’re denying our solutions.

@SleepyCarp @__daws__ @TSM_Leffen Fans are in the right, but as Nintendo is a large corp. with billions of dollars to spend, they have a giant legal team, and would likely cause major legal fees and issues for the opposition by prolonging the case or appealing. See Sony V. Bleem, a case that legalized emulation.

@Folf I did contact Nintendo, but I sent it off to an experienced repair guy who tried literally everything. It is a CPU/EMMC/NAND issue which can't be repaired.

@allister_acnh it’s crazy how ppl can be so ignorant. black ppl barely have had any representation compared to white ppl & literally had to bully nintendo for months into adding these. why can’t they see that this is a deeper issue in itself? it’s not “just hair” there’s context and history lol

@UltimaShadowX for the record in case its not clear: i agree with you. acknowledging that nintendo does some shitty stuff doesnt mean you CANT like what they make still, that's always going to be up to you. but liking the things they make should never be a reason to ignore the problems.

I mean it when I say that about 80% of my problems in life would be solved by Nintendo porting Zelda wind waker HD from the Wii U to the switch.

@Tavonetta Which is the bigger lie? Nintendo saying they love and support Smash or the DNC saying they care about gay and trans issues?
