@Mckinleykiwi @Skylandersfan69 @NintendoEurope I'm defending Nintendo the company. Nintendo of America, the ones doing the shutting down of the Big House, Splatoon teams, and Etikons, is the problem. NOT Nintendo as a whole.

@FeatheryCat Nintendo's been one of the biggest DMCA companies for years now unfortunately. I just never actually thought I'd ever run into a problem like this with them lol. They can't stop me from lewding Zelda this easily tho!!

@song_Y_jonathan @Rendum26 @bair54096307 The tweet he was responding to had to do with Nintendo, not Smash. Just because Smash was a part of the problem doesn't mean that it's the only thing everyone can talk about.

@ReoAyanami @JGWLMC "How many percent of games played using Dolphin emulator are using are illegally owned copy Nintendo games?" Irrelevant, as the post seemed to imply that emulation alone was the problem, and this is a separate question (what % use it legally or not).

Believe it or not, ratioing or attempting to ratio the Nintendo Twitter account isn’t gonna fix anything

Just to say guys. My switch fan is probably the only issue on my switch since it still vents like a normal just my fan gets loud sometimes. Planning and hoping next year in January I can get it fixed by Nintendo UK depending on the prices.

Does anyone remember Pokémon Brick Bronze It was a fangame of Pokémon on Roblox I think it was also taken down by Nintendo, and also Roblox (Roblox took it down to not get in legal trouble) I might be wrong

regardless of stupid **** that thing gets funnied Nintendo most likely wont do anything with it, the previous person or yourself has probably tampered with it to fix it, just get a new one, save yourself some trouble

Also, make NSO more appealing because that adds to why sword and shield are such a scam because you've got to pay even more money. Why not make it the same server and make it part of a Nintendo Switch online service so you don't have to pay for two separate service. Cont...

Nintendo probably isn't in their legal right to shut down ournaments. They own copyright on code/models, but not the unique gameplay of events. It's like if I made a letter out of cut-out letters from a magazine and Time sued me. Problem is, nobody can afford to fight the C&D

@PennySweetz @NintendoAmerica @NintendoEurope Really freaking sucks & is so frustrating and I'm an adult! My kids get madder than me with this crap. U'd think by now they'd fix the newer ones coming out!

Since these past few years Nintendo has: -Taken down fan games -Charged players $20 a year for shitty online -Refused to fix Joycon drift -Made limited releases a thing -C&D'd an modded online version of Melee -Cancelled a Splatoon tournament -C&D'd the Eticons #FuckNintendo

@Killun0va @NintendoAmerica In this case the modder got in trouble for having premade shells have the Nintendo Logo on them , and the word "Joycon" if they wouldved simply not just sold separate premade shells or had the Nintendo Logo on the premade shells , he wouldn't have gotten in trouble .

All this trouble Nintendo is creating is preparation for when they order a cease & desist on Nintendo after March 31, 2021

@ouatcsship11 @IGN Yeah, they had been in production and were attempted to be sold 2 years ago, but only recently gained traction before Nintendo stopped them from being sold. Ik it’s an issue with trademarking, but with everything else going on, it’s not a good look for them.

@Redimpti0n Best example being how they handle the red ring, they did absolutely everything in their power to fix it, meanwhile Nintendo is still stalking the same defective Joy-con they have been since 2017.

Sorry for being a broken record but Nintendo were always evil. I love how people saying it wasn't like that when Iwata was alive and running it but sadly Nintendo were ******** back then too. I am just glad people are opening their eyes to the Big N's evil. Sucks it took so long.

@Iyokuu @Cptn_Alex ...Will get you in trouble , that's been known in the community for a while, people are now just making a big deal out of it because free meelee. He used the word Joycons, and the Nintendo Logo and was selling premade shells , that in itself was a mistake

@reloup38 Oh yeah I just realized that. These are the models as they are in-game in SwSh but maybe the extractor had an issue with it, should be 76mm or so then you're right. Also looking at the official Pokéball replica by WandCompany, that one is 75mm as confirmed by nintendo.

@ActualAero Nintendo's twitter account is perfectly fine in my opinion. The manager of the account shouldn't be getting blamed for the problems Nintendo has caused.

@bball03_ Yah I have a bit of an issue with this like it’s a little corny. They need to kind of realize Nintendo isn’t gonna be like this even though it’s an unfortunate truth. Maybe one day, but it’s not in the foreseeable future. I do wish they could be more in tune with their audience

@Cammiluna Still holding on to the vague hope that at some point the former AlphaDream staff try and form a new company (just like they did after several people left Square back in the day). Even if it’s not working with Nintendo I really want them to be able to make their own stuff again

@thefakebevan Nah. The problem is this weird moral high ground Melee people are on because their game isn't supported by Nintendo anymore. It's only because the game is old. And don't fault people for wanting to play newer games.

Aura and company
(@AurasentaiDrago) reported
Cont. It would make it worth $20 dollars because the bonus stuff I feel doesn't amount to much. Also, let fans make the games Nintendo because Pokemon needs a Mania fix big time. Fans would make the games better Maybe I of taking down fangames and rom hacks. Instead hire them.

@SmallAnt I mean, who is Nintendo beholden to? There isn't one PR issue that could tank their sales, it seems. The only way they fail these days is on the marketing end.

@Killun0va @NintendoAmerica The act of modding the actual controllers isn't something Nintendo cares about, it is when people either use copyrighted Nintendo artwork (such as waterslides of Nintendo licensed artwork that had been getting other modders in trouble) or the Nintendo Logo or their name

for a second i thought "maybe there's a patch that would, at least from a gameplay perspective fix all the traits so i can use girls in my party"...and then i remembered I'm playing a Nintendo game lol
