  Pokemon Scarlet crash to Switch homescreen #7 (while opening poke portal.) Whoever is in charge at Game Freak should honestly be absolutely humiliated by the state these games were released in, lol. #PokemonScarlet #PokemonScarletViolet @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon

  @AustinJohnPlays 11 days after the launch and we haven't heard anything from PKMCO (GF, Nintendo, etc) about this game. At least CD Project Red apologized and tried to fix their game. That's very frustrating. I really had high expectations on this game. I'm very disappointed.

  @NebbyBrush @DavideSoliani Had the same problem. Need to use an EU Nintendo Account. I used a secondary account to activate the code and was able to use the content on my US account. Annoying but it works. Ironically I only have an EU account because of past Ubisoft related content issues.

  @KeyDedede Nintendo shut down ALL of swt (no glitch, lvl up expo, and double down) and there is no statement from panda

  @NintendoAmerica needs to fix this **** fast, this is just not ok

• 
  Ren Shinomiya (@ShinomiyaRen) reported 20 minutes ago

  @SmashWorldTour The problem being, that Nintendo ultimately ended up leaving SWT in the dust by just dipping out. Which costs them A LOT of money from the SWT's COs (and possibly the events part of the circuits) due to them being Cancelled.

• 
  Dreadfury (@DreadfuryDK) reported 22 minutes ago

  Nintendo HELLA ain’t innocent here but after reading the SWT team’s statement it’s painfully clear that Panda and their ******* CEO are like 75% of the problem here and that they probably gave Nintendo an ultimatum. **** that org big-time.

  @Peanut_SSBU problem is that is panda crashes too, it will confirm nintendo's assumption that trying to do anything with the SSBU competitive scene is a bad idea, which will just hurt the scene even further

  @SmashWorldTour Everyone blaming Panda doesn't understand how this works. It doesn't matter if Panda is did some things wrong. At the end of the day NINTENDO decides if a tournament is run or not. NINTENDO is the one who is banning multiple tournaments. NINTENDO is the one that can fix this.

  The Rushdown (@TRushdown) reported 27 minutes ago

  @ModernVintageG @RGT_85 Nintendo is not known to fix messed up things, they take your money and run, Joystick drifting still an issue after 5 years.

  @zufats my friend sees the bar go to 0 on his screen too so it aint just a me thing, nintendo needs to fix this LOL

  Psyco The Frog {CEO of Madness} (@PsycoTheFrog) reported 29 minutes ago

  @GrumpyCatterman @LeonMandala I don't play COD or GTA because there's a bunch of games in the same genre's I'd rather play. Nintendo has 2 of these problems, they barely improve what they keep repeating, and there's a bunch of games like them I'd rather play.

  @BeardedSol @EGPWonderChef the only problem nintendo seems to have with competitive smash is with modified versions of the game, so i dont think granting panda a license has anything to do with protecting the IP (nintendo has shut down tournaments by themselves before)

  Zorna_007 (@Zorna007) reported 30 minutes ago

  @jeffmcdme @Dexerto You are ******* stupid did you not read the article at all. “Got caught” SWT has been working with Nintendo for years and never violated any of Nintendo’s lines hence the professional work between the 2. It was only through the intervention of Panda did it become a problem

  Kevlar (Cashier Arc) (@KamirezRevin) reported 31 minutes ago

  @yaboimoistboi These apparent threats were also directed at BTS for their stuff, and as a result of heightened pressure and Nintendo doing something different from what they have consistently insisted, SWT canceled alongside the upcoming Glitch and Double Down, leaving VGBC in jeopardy (2/2)

  Fix putting this INSTANT @NintendoAmerica

  Aaron Hassell (@Strawhatdad_) reported 34 minutes ago

  @skyzyn @SirScoots Sure. But, in this scenario its a bit of a slap in the face to Nintendo who had entered into a good faith process apparently to issue a license and was then meet with an applicant that basically said " We are not waiting for you to make a decisions, we are doing it regardless"

  I've got this one admittedly pretty large issue with the Mario movie but I do adore Peach wielding a giant halberd/the axe from SMB1 as a weapon I didn't think I'd want Nintendo to take cues from this film for the games but I REALLY hope they stick with this idea

• 
  Graeme Wilson (@gramistan) reported 37 minutes ago

  @aidencalvin Am I missing something? Nintendo told Panda to cancel it. Nintendo is the problem here and Panda just got taken advantage of. I feel sorry for them being the middle man in one of the most significant blows to the scene in a while.

• 
  **** (@1fice) reported 40 minutes ago

  @Strawhatdad_ @skyzyn @SirScoots nintendo asked SWT to work with them and get a license, incurring their reliance. this isn't even an IP issue, nintendo had extensive knowledge, went silent, and forced SWT to either shut down their event and lose thousands or rely on past communication. about as clear as it gets

  @AspyrMedia This needs to be taken down from the Nintendo Eshop. Absolutely garbage. Everything is so broken and its unacceptable especially for a nearly 20 year old game. I'm fairly confident the devs have already dropped support and walked away. Do not buy this port on Switch.

  Jonathan Clements (@Jonclements30) reported 44 minutes ago

  @Juuuuuuuno @SmashWorldTour We’re trying to solve the problem for the community and players who love the game. Just trying to spite Nintendo helps nothing if it screws over the community.

  @XxsidesxX @NintendoAmerica Hello it also happen my account for 2 months and I tried contacting their service but they always gave me a robot reply so I got in contact with licit_codes on Instagram I saw his advert on tv he was the one who got me back into my account he should help you

  Jimmy46 (@Jimmy_4605) reported 45 minutes ago

  @SomniaCE @Icege @EGPWonderChef The problem is that they ARE the only official circuit, which is why these kinds of threats were even considered by TO’s. If panda didn’t have the stamp of approval from Nintendo they wouldn’t have so many in the circuit or be ridiculed for their actions

  @sectorantlia I could be wrong, and I’m not gonna stop you, but after reading the article it said that Nintendo was perfectly fine with coexisting. It’s Panda Global and their CEO that went after them. Not saying Nintendo isn’t at fault here, but it’s looking more like a Panda problem.

  @Doctor_Cupcakes I mean, at least this guy's trying to solve the actual problem of 'how do you add to F-Zero' that Nintendo's stated as the reason thry won't do one, rather than just going 'F-Zero again please'. Thst doesn't stop his idea sucking.
