@WarioFan63 On that note, I found Nintendo Power issue 136, page 12 regarding this. :O I tended to avoid most of the main games little flash games. (That and cuz they were flash, haha.) Even mentions the game.

@forestminish It used to be Crash bandicoot, but ever since he went third party, Sony can’t seem to find a mascot. Some may say it’s Ratchet & Clank, but Sony doesn’t nearly **** them out like Nintendo or Microsoft does with Mario or Master Chief.

@justintroutman If you sign up for Nintendo's online service you can get a bunch of NES and SNES games. I think it's 20 bucks a year

@katventute but 1st editions usually turn out to be really valuable 20 years down the line because of those problems. 1st edition nintendo switch is worth a ton of money now

Smash melee fans are being annoying and complaining about Nintendo again what’s new? Seriously I don’t get how this glitchy broken *** game is considered the standard for smash. Actual bugs and glitches are considered “tech” by these people

@REVERSALx7 @NintendoAmerica Hold up they never did this before with their other games so why this game anyways & when a game is released for any country its no longer considered to be a "leak" it's considered as a legal release & at that point its only a spoiler issue so the takedown was unjustified & wrong

Nintendo Sucks
(@myheadisflat) reported
Nintendo is so concerned about the longevity of their IP so they'll dmca fans working to make things easier during a pandemic, yet they won't fix the game that actually does make them money so that the game just dies and nobody cares about it anymore! priorities #Freemelee

@666GrandRad @TriforceZard @Alpharad it's not that melee was never meant to have online play, its that it was made before the gamecube internet adaptors were released and thus had no way to do it at all. the "problem" is that nintendo just hates its fanbase, the smash one in particular, as they have always done this

@RainthRainth the tournament is US only because of lag, run by a US company, on the US copy of the game, using a US created emulator and Nintendo of America are the people opposing it, and it's being streamed on an American website. so yeah

@FameEnt2k $79.99 CDN, $69.99 US. But Black Friday is coming so that means Nintendo will prove SOME games as they should be priced normally. The issue is their fans continue to gobble the regurgitated crap up so why would they ever change their business practices?

ROMs and emulators are a symptom of a need not being met. I don’t understand why Nintendo is so incessant on shutting things down instead of addressing their obvious distribution problem. #Freemelee

@ImaJuicyMeme505 @danfornace Well tbh you can’t legally acquire the game without paying almost a hundred bucks and then there’s the console issue too. So either Nintendo releases a remaster or finds a middle ground for the duration

@yeetkunedo @TheRainbowStar @TheBigHouseSSB This C&D won't stop anyone from buying Nintendo's products.. They know it. They'd change their tune if they thought that to be the case -- but you and I both know they'll go on selling billions of dollars in merchandise from a fanbase that doesn't really care about this issue.

@Whirblewind @NintendoAmerica To quell one frustration. The DMCA’s were a piracy measure to stop people leaking the game early. Problem was whatever part of Nintendo did those forgot the game releases a day earlier in some countries.

@Pocket_Camp Honestly, Nintendo should just get rid of the AR feature. Not everyone can afford fancy phones. Isn't this game supposed to be free (aside from in-app purchases)? They need to fix something in this update so all of its players can get back to the game.

@LegalEagleDJ could you do a video on the #FreeMelee issue and if Nintendo had any right doing what they did or if they only got away with it because the tournament operator wouldn’t be able to afford taking them to court

@Marc_IRL This may be irrelevant but I had the same issue with my nintendo switch, the solution was to plug the headphones into the monitor OR play undocked. Are there any power sources connected to the controller while you play? Idk just a thought, could be totally useless!

@GlaceonTs @NintendoAmerica more so: - Nintendo has not re-released melee = no revenue (we WANT an online melee service, but there is none + melee costs like 150$ used + no online) - no support, only harms community (**** ult online, shutting down melee) - recent Nintendo anti-consumer trends don't help
