    @RinzlerZero84 @NintendoAmerica Take better care of your stuff and maybe it won’t stop working in a few months. I’ve had my Switch for 3 months already and have zero issues.

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot My god this is insanely good for crash fans

  • _Niveous_ Niveous (@_Niveous_) reported

    @TheShawk64 @JonComms it would save the issue of Nintendo completely denying some fan projects over the years

  • hugemeat 🌊 (@hugemeat) reported

    im all for nintendo putting weird and obscure games on their online service, purely for game preservation purposes. but holy ****. the selection, or lack thereof, that ARE on there blows my mind. They legit said "we can get wii/GC/N64 games on the switch but only these 3" :)

  • 14bleSSed Stephen K. Semer (@14bleSSed) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Did… did Nintendo just… did they just put more effort into Crash’s 25th anniversary than they did Zelda’s 35th? Oh boy. I bet the Internet is gonna take this well.

  • cclive2005 cclive2005 (@cclive2005) reported

    @BeepBaBeepBa Exactly. God I miss when Nintendo's Online Service was free.

  • VaIkyraetwt Apple 🍎 ⁷ (@VaIkyraetwt) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot which crash game was it where the cars combined and made a weapon that’s like the only one I can remember playing as a child

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Dumbasses: THIS MEANS CRASH WILL BE IN SMASH

  • TiggyFireTiger TiggyFireTiger (@TiggyFireTiger) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot So, Nintendo remembers that it’s Crash bandicoot’s anniversary but not Splatoon 2’s 4th anniversary?! Whhhhhhhyyyyyy???

  • hippiechicken12 Michael Connor (@hippiechicken12) reported

    @RGT_85 I honestly think they throw darts at a dart board to see what gets picked whenever they choose to release games. @NintendoAmerica - This is part of why your customer base hates the Nintendo Online Service.

  • Anything4Orbs Anything4Orbs (Mario master) (@Anything4Orbs) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash will never be in Smash

  • dannyphantomdi1 dannyphantomdesireefan (@dannyphantomdi1) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot no you stupid crash bandicoot fans, THIS IS NOT PROOF THAT CRASH IS GETTING INTO SMASH, ACTIVISION WON'T ALLOW IT UNLESS NINTENDO GIVES ALL THEIR MONEY TO ACTIVISION, WHICH NINTENDO WOULD NEVER AGREE TO

  • wastedchick3n 🏳️‍🌈Jessica🏳️‍⚧️ (@wastedchick3n) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash for smash

  • Chuskysly Papi Brick (@Chuskysly) reported

    @GivenNameEric @DemeechYT @JBlaze404 Because it’s a garbage collection that should of never been 1. Limited time and 2. 60 full dollars. Saying “well don’t buy it” is the ******* issue, goes to show you guys will buy any garbage Nintendo puts out without a second thought.

  • notmybrandon102 102 (@notmybrandon102) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Definitely not renewing my membership what a ******* joke and insult to the people who pay for this garbage service

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot fix online

  • blaisedinsd Blazingbolt (@blaisedinsd) reported

    @WatermelonSlime You can’t still send any joycon to nintendo to fix even if it is out if warranty so don’t toss those old ones away.

  • NBordzy Nathan (@NBordzy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Add Crash to Smash Bros

  • BattleProfessor The Battle Professor (@BattleProfessor) reported

    @Toon_1013 @digimonweb_net The aspect of a personal back-up that never leaves your possession is not an issue. While Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and Bandai are not a fan, it in itself is not illegal. The issue with back-ups is they can be redistributed (given to other people) which is illegal.

  • RyanNace8 The Honeybadger (@RyanNace8) reported

    @NintendoAmerica When are you guys going to approve the fix for Streets of Rage 4 DLC? Many people have waited months for DLC to be released on July 15th, only to be disappointed.
