  • TheeSycoTik Thee SycoTik 2020 (@TheeSycoTik) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Was hoping for Crash Bandicoot or Conker but this isn't so bad and makes sense.

  • UltramarineJL Ultramarine J (@UltramarineJL) reported

    To any Smash players, a new fighter has been announced. I don't know who's it going to be but Nintendo can't always make people's request character like Crash or any particular character. I would like Sora join the smash.

  • trc0912 trc0912 (@trc0912) reported

    @FrostlichTheDK @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica I was honestly hoping it wouldn't be Crash just because Banjo and Kazooie were so highly requested and then ended up being forgettable

  • squishyboyseth Sethoooooo (@squishyboyseth) reported

    @NintendoAmerica can you fix your online and regulate your shitty business practices before you throw us more unnecessary content to wolf down? i'm not saying no one wanted this, but the positives of having a hyped up newcomer are vastly outweighed by everything else

  • bebopally Parappa the rapper lemon demon struggle tweets (@bebopally) reported

    i am going to keep it real with you nintendo, Sephiroth is not going to fix your pr nightmare

  • potater124 potater (@potater124) reported

    @FNCompetitive Fix not being able to switch what your controller buttons do when you press it on Nintendo switch

  • Matt_DuMont_ Matt DuMont (@Matt_DuMont_) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ... that’s not Crash.

  • Quartzer10 Quartzer (@Quartzer10) reported

    @thegameawards @NintendoAmerica Thought Id note Its not cause "ItS aNoThEr AnImE sWoRdSmAn" as I think he deserves a spot (hes the main antagonist of one of the most famous RPGS) but Im just not too much into RPGs (Im more of a platformer sort of guy) and I'd rather have Crash than Sephiroth

  • DLBandicoot DLBandicoot (@DLBandicoot) reported

    @NintendoAmerica ... still no crash bandicoot ...

  • CloudMain_6 Cloud Main (@CloudMain_6) reported

    People are now bitching because it was not crash I really ******* hate Nintendo fans

  • superbjoshy jos h (@superbjoshy) reported

    @NintendoAmerica JONESY WOULDVE BROKEN THE INTERNET!! WHO IS THIS CHARACTER ANYWAY??? NO ONE KNOWS WHO THIS DUDE IS

  • mkdynasty22 Misa (@mkdynasty22) reported

    @Pokemonqueennn Its ok. But wasted spot for good pics like Sora or even Crash Bandicoot. Nintendo doesn't even appreciate those who wanted those I've aforementioned for long time. Itll be cool if they got in after but a better spot could've been chosen to take Sephiroth's place like Sora (KH3)

  • GalacticX4 Galactic (@GalacticX4) reported

    @RadCharzrd @NintendoAmerica Yes. No Crash.
