About this whole Nintendo **** with #FreeMelee and #FreeSplatoon. Just remember that it's not the company as a whole at fault. It's mostly just their legal team and executive airheads. Hate their issues, not the whole company. (Inb4 I get lots of angry replies here :p)

I don't even like Smash, but a huge middle finger to Nintendo is a public service at this point

@FEARLESSCHRIS8 @gfjklopkr me *not* buying it isnt gonna change a single goddamn thing. that's not how it works. the products arent the problem, nintendo's PR is. hell *owning* a switch at all is doing more to contribute than buying smash dlc is.

The people screaming #FreeSplatoon at Nintendo even though the competitive smash scene was essentially co opting competitive Splatoon for their own gain don't even realize they are being part of the problem here

@slama_will @Plun_Yu So they don't have to adhere as to what you THINK they should and can freely do what they want and say that's YOUR problem you expected what YOU wanted like you run Nintendo/SquareEnix

@jackson271984 Yeah, exactly. And hell some of the **** Sony does pisses me off 1000x more than the stuff Nintendo does. Like ****, the psn is a trash store Format and I still have issues buying stuff from it

The fact that Nintendo cancelled the Splatoon livestream has to mean #FreeMelee is working, right? I mean we at least know that they're aware of it rather than just outright ignoring the issue like they've done in the past

@sorakimono Hopefully but most likely not as nintendo is a corporation and need to fix this on their end. Otherwise nothing will come of it

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

(@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

@SlimyQuagsire @NintendoAmerica @NintendoVS Honestly, I'd have more sympathy if the Melee community wasn't full of rapists who blindly worship a broken, buggy, 20-year-old mess of a game that everyone else has moved on from.

@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

@Magic_Octo @TempoAxe Has the Splatoon community faced any issues similar to the smash community? Like canceling tournaments or anything like that? I don't know too much about the splat community but I have a feeling smash isnt the only game nintendo hates

I was a PC gamer for several years cuz i went from Super Nintendo to X-Box. I didn’t own anything in between cuz my cousins owned all the other systems and we went to the same school up until middle school so it was never an issue for me to spend the night at their house

@GigaSpinDash I honestly got confused why Splatoon was there until I checked the tag, man Nintendo’s legal team is the complete opposite of what Nintendo wants. Honestly speaking for Nintendo, they at least need to fix this as this’ll seriously harm their appearance down the line.

@Dacidbro But Slippi is an emulator. Legally they cant let it slide once they are made aware of it as it would set a legal precedence allowing properly shady people to rip off Nintendo hardware Its more an issue with the American legal system than anything

@UltimaShadowX No the villainy has been there since the beginning of the Switch era. Charging for a shitty online service that lacks features previous Nintendo consoles had, charging $60 for Wii U ports/Wii/Game Boy Remakes. Fake limited releases, games released unfinished only for content to

@EichenlaubLuke @L123Sparkle @IntroSpecktive The problem is that Nintendo higher ups and shareholders consist largely of Traditionalist aka Super Boomers so they really need some younger blood in charge to make a difference

@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. 👍
