@UR2SLOW_ Banning ultimate online event is probably less embarrassing for Nintendo than show worldwide how bad his online service is.

@serrisfroon Just to be clear, Nintendo's intellectual property was being used on a non-licensed Nintendo online service.

@tyIer4711 make friends w the electronics workers, if it ends up in the electronics backroom and nintendo doesnt specifically say they want the display back (it happens sometimes) it can disappear no problem

@cleveru16605923 @UltimaShadowX I think the issue with melee specifically is that there is a lot of legally dubious stuff going on that people are trying to ignore. Because there's no precedent. Nintendo only changed their mind on YouTube because of other companies. Melee is super unique and has no precedence.

I seriously hope that Nintendo fix the latest @animalcrossing update. Announcing it needs 64 bit OS on the day it lands, after never mentioning it before, so we all thought we'd be fine, is awful. 1/

@Pocket_Camp Honestly, the AR update is unfair to the the people who can’t enjoy the update. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the update! But I feel like the update could have been worked on so everyone could play. I know Nintendo doesn’t read reply’s but I really hope you fix this! Ty!

@marsmoment @FinJCam The big problem with Splatoon 2 is that Nintendo treats it like Activision treats COD. Release, support for a year, drop it. The issue is....there isn't a new Splatoon every year. So they keep trying to market a comp shooter game knowing full well that updates have stopped.

@3ternalS0ul @tiny_kaphona @Struggle_Tweet Actually the problem is the fact that no one was in the wrong in the whole situation. Nintendo was flat out wrong with their reasoning, but they can still shut it down because of copyright laws. They really didn't need to give a reason. Which is the biggest killer.

@UltimaShadowX idk yo, maybe i'm not fully grasping the full situation of why its such an issue they cancelled melee. i kinda thought it was understood by now that nintendo clearly hates fan games of any kind because they're such a protective piece of **** over their precious BABY, mario

@PearlteaRizzy i do hate how they operate but they are catching up,if a little slowly,the problem is how freakin old nintendo is so there just use to the old ways and find it hard to adapt to the future,but the prices on games can still suck it

I hope Nintendo fix this, as they've just dropped tens of thousands (probably multiples more) of players for a fluff feature in an update that their own published specs & requirements in the previous months made us all think we met. 4/

@TripleKyun I want Nintendo gone, SEGA is the King of gaming, SEGA makes great games and consoles, Nintendo has bad online, Nintendo has poor customer service and support, Nintendo has been sued many times because of JoyCons.

I hope it was unintentional. The fact that they didn't mention 64bit OS until it launched makes me suspect they realised they ****** up. But meanwhile those locked out are missing out on one-off events and items. Fix it Nintendo, cause you look pretty bad right now. END.

@LizzyTiger98 @DaEpicNooby @NintendoUK Also, the joy-cons can be changed or repaired easier. The drift problem is still an issue.

nintendo haven't even fixed the left joycon drift issue, soy fanboys continue to suck Shuntaro Furukawa's **** and buy new (still faulty) joycons at an extortionate price

@aoriika_sq @SupreMamaco Legally speaking, Nintendo can shut down any event, stream, or video using copyright. That's *how* I think this event was shut down. Their *purpose* was for "the promotion of pirated material" (illegal emulations). It's not wrong, its justified but they don't see the issue.

@3ternalS0ul If Nintendo wants to put an end to piracy, all they have to do is implement a service that's a better alternative. That's what music companies did with Spotify. The same goes for Movie streaming sites. Nintendo has to release a better online service that allows melee to be played

The problem isn't that Nintendo is choosing to enforce its copyright in such a manner, irrationally and for no benefit to themselves or anybody. The problem is that they can, they all can and you are always at the whims of whoever owns the copyright.

@ClarusPlusPlus “Every time”? I had no trouble getting a console at the XB1/PS4 launches. I’m willing to give them slack this year if they couldn’t stock up because of COVID. (Yes, the Switch did have low supply, but that was because Nintendo didn’t want to risk a repeat of the Wii U bombing.)

6) Respectively speaking as well, I think that the Splatoon community also has the same issues. People overhyping the game to levels of annoyance, yelling at Nintendo to fix a small patch they did in the recent notes, and complaining about literally everything... (1/2)

like, using a mod to allow online play during a global pandemic so everyone can be safe? and hosting an event during an awful year so people can have a little fun? nintendo’s got a problem with that? damn must be so much fun to being so anti consumer all the time nintendo

@theonenat27 @Struggle_Tweet Its a major problem because Nintendo tried shutting down tournaments in the past. They were wrong with their reasoning, but due to copyright laws, they don't even need a reason. They can just shut more tournaments down because they feel like it.
