@GarySwaby nintendo games are not glitch free though they just are on a surface level, look at all the nintendo speed runs that exist and each one uses multiple glitches.

I'm scared for when this hammer trick sneaks into scrims and tourneys. If Nintendo doesn't fix it, should it be banned in comp?

The idea that the Mario movie may have Foreman Spike is wild to me. My biggest fear is that the comedian who said he was playing "their boss Spike" has broken NDA and this means that Nintendo could come out and say "well now we are cancelling the movie" like the Netflix shows.

Anyone any idea how to fix this. Just done a factory reset on the console and it won’t recognise the joy cons? Is it because they aren’t official Joy cons? Is it a problem with the console? Both in sync mode tried everything I can think of @NintendoUK @NintendoEurope

This has given me the sudden urge to collect every Nintendo Power issue. If you have any you are looking to sell slide in the ol DM inbox.

I feel like Crash would not get into smash considering the Activision controversey because Nintendo cancelled the overwatch event and allowed refunds for the game amid the Blizzard controversy, I wouldn't be surprised if they would reconsider to avoid any backlash

@NintendoUK hello, after 2 years my son’s switch has broken and the controls don’t work. Is there a way to repair? Thanks

@Izoku_Wolf_Drag First off, the final Smash character is definitely going to be a Nintendo rep, so Crash and the Capcom rep are out. Secondly, I think it's going to be Ayumi Tachibana from Famicom Detective Club.

Did Nintendo ever release a patch to fix that Inkblot exploit? I don’t think they did.

@DanielMcArdle3 If you meant that Nintendo games aren't broken, I agree with that. But in terms of compression Sony has them beat with the Kraken compression that their using. Nintendo games are small due to not having high res textures and such.

@Plun_Yu Music is probably part of the problem with it coming over and no tracks being in Smash. Nintendo+Sawano+SMJ probably have to hash it all out.

@Jojosnonozone @engfa_owu @NintendoAmerica Wii U has the game on VC though, I don't see the problem here

The game is EASILY playable without it, and the issue was Nintendo showed off what the amiibo did before the actual important QoL features.

@OddballPaladin @Lyxertt @NintendoAmerica I agree. I just think that's the major reason of the cost, which is a problem. Similar to a PS Vita as card, except it's worse, because theoretically you should be able to use non-proprietary hardware. It's USB-C ffs. 😭

@mrliparota @NintendoAmerica Yes but I know customer service can do things like transfer islands from one device to another of your device is stolen, for example. I’m hoping for more of a back end solution like that.

@The_CrapGamer Sony and Nintendo are built differently - the former is a hardware company while the latter is a hardware/ toy company. They’ve had some issues, but they always come out on top when appealing to gamers.

@Hanimetion @sleepydragnn imo the only issues in sw/sh are just the fact the switches limitations *really* hit hard in their engine for some reason. i think it still looks gorgeous though i just wish nintendo werent so stubborn with their hardware, apparantly capcom had to beg for 4gb RAM in the switch!

@NintendoAmerica This is probably the best looking footage we've seen of the game so far, even with the weird shadow loading problems. Hope that the rest of the game looks and runs like this, but hopefully without any shadow problems.

@sdesocio I am not sure which is worse. Managing Microsoft accounts for Minecraft or Nintendo's awful family set up. Apple may have it's problems, but they have the family stuff figured out.

@NintendoAmerica I think it would be cool if you added this and ALSO GB, GBC and GBA on Switch Online. Please Nintendo, literally no one thinks the online service is good.
