@cherry_grabber @f_freaker Dawg if nintendo really thinks that "losing" like what? 400 bucks of games? is worth making you there slave your whole life and if you agree and think thats fair, YOU are part of the problem.

@FizzaClips @OrezSuke @SerebiiNet The Switch itself got an update not long ago that allows sending the save data directly. If you’re encountering this bug, contact Nintendo Support and they will fix it for you.

@staus_john @NianticHelp Singapore Grandpa here... I now suspect Niantic's core problem is they're ticked off about royalties they pay Nintendo. They're using US to punish Nintendo into reducing the percent THEY agreed to. There's no other explanation for throttling the "un$u$tainable" game growth.

@gamerW33D @L4ZY_FOX @LegalizeWuhu Ok but he uploaded videos of mods. That's the only time they take issue. I'm not saying that is a good thing because it's pretty ****** of them but that is the truth and even then most times Nintendo has gone after YouTubers they back off after you try to fight their dispute

@RomeGoLARGE @SocialJoins Difference though is Sony + Nintendo rely on gaming to survive, Microsoft doesn't rely on Xbox. Think that will always be a problem for MS, if it doesn't work for them it's not an issue, but for the others it's a big problem

…completion” -in 2016, development starts hitting some trouble. With the failing WiiU, Pikmin has fallen down the list of priorities and the team has been greatly reduced to work on other projects (namely the sequel to Mario Maker, one of Nintendo’s only big successes…

@KenyanMCrab Nintendo's net worth is around 95 billion dollars. I have somewhere around 5000€ in my bank account. 10 million dollars to Nintendo is like 52 cents to me. It's chump change. It's a non issue. It's a rounding error. I would not ruin someone's life for 52 cents.

@MelonsMoon @GamingAndPandas On top of them doing it to games they don't even have on their "service" with no way to buy them which we would be more then happy to buy them but nintendo don't like money apparently.

@fordyballs @Dexerto He didn't cost Nintendo anything. Piracy is an issue with the creator not the user. People will pirate things no matter how they have to do it if the product isn't worth it.

@sIushbucket I don't really care about this guy's and frankly Nintendo's money, I'm more concerned about the people who got extorted and stolen from tbh. Apparently Nintendo has been hunting these people for years, and they've been a major problem in the homebrew community?

@FizzaClips @SerebiiNet As its not the raids that caused the issue ... not really but can keep hoping Nintendo(form my understanding not GF/TPC) currently ask save data with issues, and give it back fixed

@TxTSaint This is just an example, I spotted a nintendo ad in te same setting, near metro station. Xbox ads were nowhere to be seen in any form, that’s the problem

@NecroKuma3 I am an artist, assuming you count photography as an art form. Honestly, the current copyright system is utterly broken. It allows for companies, such as Nintendo, to take their own franchises hostage, milk them for money and smite down any fan creations born from love.

@JstBringIt90 @Jeffro_1615 @DestinLegarie Sony fix their issue by making the PS4 software easier to make games for and start sending out PlayStation Dev kits in a bunch of different languages to each country. Sony turned it around to get back on top Nintendo carved out their own market of family friendly/nostalgia gaming

@MilesDompier Never been someone who is like we gotta use skype. Nintendo definitely needs to streamline their online service and add basic features. Phantom Dust I agree needs a from the ground up remake because it feels very gated.

@JJames12_ @LolOlive1155 @THELIFE0FTRIBE Your lack of functional brain synapses is the problem, not my sympathy. I have a disdain for companies like Nintendo in general. All they're doing here is ruining someone's life in a chest-beating attempt to intimidate modders under pretenses of "helping" consumers.

@Link25002011 @TheIronMadden @Wario64 Disney will go along with whatever as long as you aren’t a direct competitor & are willing to pay up. The issue is that Nintendo can be cheap, especially since they couldn’t be bothered to pay Haley Joel Osment to record new lines.

@ArloStuff I actually do not mind the subscription service for classic games. Yes you don't actually own the game but it lets you try out games you would have never bought. Nintendo giving me WarioWare on my 3DS for free got me into the series more than any advertising could

@Banjoisawesome2 @playpokemon I would just like to say the game is still in a broken state and people completely harassing Pokemon/Nintendo/game freak for the home update given its broken state is absolutely insane. When do you want them to fix the game first before releasing something that may not work?0

@WESTIGON I'm not that familiar with Xbox unless there was something vital I miss and I could've gone harder on Nintendo if I wanted. The way they did Super Mario 3D All-Stars is one of them. PlayStation, on the other hand, is a whole laundry list of problems.

Why did you have to use stupid security screws on your consoles Nintendo? I just wanted to play some Kirby 64 but the reset button stuck down and I can't take it apart to fix it!

@Savashri @turtwigsfire13 @LegalizeWuhu It is kinda absurd that Nintendo trying to charge him for them having to fix a security exploit in their console.

@TidyWire @MaceAhWindu Nintendo didn't decide to do this. They simply took him to court for damages, and the judge/jury decided that would be part of his repayment of damages. The root issue is how restitution and wage garnishing are handled, as well as how repayments for damages are assessed
