-
sunsette (@sunsette6) reported@spacekxd @Whirblewind @NintendoAmerica The money for purchase of the game doesn’t go to the people who made it; they already got their paychecks. Obviously they’re not in the wrong, but they also aren’t the people getting hurt by piracy. Nintendo higher-ups are, and those people are the problem.
-
Marty4282 (@marty4282) reported@Avenuuu @NintendoAmerica Did they ever have a problem with "slippi" or is this just showing up now?
-
weaveyoinker (@weaveyoinker) reportedYa’ll done wrong @NintendoAmerica Fix your mistake and #FreeMelee
-
Ash Willden (@SenseiAfroman) reportedJust like Nintendo to try and **** on Melee while Ultimate is out here dying cause they're to lazy to fix their dogshit online. But we all knew this would eventually come, Nintendo can't stand to watch their precious ******* "gaming achievement" that is Ultimate
-
Shit Takes Shina (COOMER PRIDE MONTH 🏳️) (@ShitTakesShina) reported@OntAfro234 @robertswjake @mraftw No, publishers who release games with 60+GB day one patches, and platform holders like Microsoft absolutely requiring the game to be updated to run is the problem. I'm able to archive my Nintendo EShop and Steam games just fine.
-
Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo (@AboutNintendo) reportedBy the way, "Nintendo removes C&D" also can imply that Nintendo apologizes or fixes the problem.
-
Rip Kirby Morrow (@Skylandersfan69) reported@MeltMaster_ @NintendoAmerica Both are problems that Nintendo and Game Freak shouldnt have done but the way that the fans went about it was stupid. Again, Im still on the side of Melee shouldnt have been cancelled but dont act like its all black and white and Nintendo is the only one thats in the wrong here
-
Jack (@Jack8DX) reported@Dragmirejr Nintendo is responsible for Melee being cancelled. Slippi is a modded copy of legally owned copy. DMCA has been a problem for awhile but AoC is different. People who were streaming it legally bought it when the game was already released.
-
Justin (@JDURGIT) reported@JSR2gamers @NintendoAmerica It's their lawyers that are real problems here, not the company. (Though I'm actually not stunned to say that a group of lawyers are the problem, and that's sad in it of itself).
-
Miguel (@Miguel_Casso) reported@Krampusklaus_sb @SlumlordNook @NintendoAmerica The problem is that Nintendo never clarified it but it is obvious that it has to be November 20 in the United States, because this always happens with people who are not from the United States but always to a lesser extent
-
b (@Tsundindzuya) reportedThe next time I hear about a Nintendo Cease and Desist it better be because some Melee player uploaded a video of him breaking into Nintendo HQ stealing the source code of melee and selling it on the internet. And everyone gotta be like "wtf is your problem Nintendo"
-
Jaden Klamm (@KlammJaden) reported@pshanley88 Bro like seriously Nintendo wouldn’t even be having this problem if they can just port Melee to the switch and do online from there they’d make so much money off that ****
-
Jol DLC (@joeldlc420) reported@essiavl True, but just because it’s “expected” doesn’t mean it’s justified or any less frustrating. Prior it was because it was them making melee competitive, now it’s with the mod, it’s just clear they have an issue with Melee community existing as a whole. Nintendo gon Ninten ig lol
-
Bweans (@BweanerBwine) reported@AndreDrezus @serrisfroon The problem isn't that Nintendo isn't supporting them. The problem is that Nintendo is shutting down a modern way of legally playing melee
-
SupaSyndr0 (@Supa_Syndr0_God) reported@KingBobbyG If they’re just gonna shut down Melee online, at least compensate this issue by fixing Ultimate’s online. A move such as what Nintendo did is just adding salt to the wound.
-
Kyōdai in Crossbell 🏴☠️ (@okconsoomer) reported@RabidWaluigi @Alltagsspieler @NintendoAmerica It’s not a bug, but poor programming. That means they probably won’t even fix this.
-
Aaron Cool (@aaronscool96) reported@NintendoAmerica Why is the game so buggy/broken though?
-
Renwin (@Renwin64) reported@StarChases @NintendoAmerica On the note of emulation, they were using their original game disks for ISOs with an emulator that barely changed anything but added online access and quicker load. All that screams is Nintendo being petty and jealous due to their crappy service looking worse.
-
Mara $$$- (@myfathersangel_) reportedit's a different day, Sound like broken records, playin' over, but you promised her, Next time you'll show restraint. You don't get another chance Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again Now you get to watch her leave Out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane
-
Anarkitten (@Anarkitten3) reported@ShadowOfNexxus @Kotaku It was using Nintendo online service
-
Person von McPersonson (@person_von) reported@braunyalmondo @EmojoPensano @NintendoAmerica They asked Big House to not run slippi since it requires Dolphin which breaks their copyright. Nintendo is cut throat when it comes to their IPs. Big House refused. Nintendo does this. Spamming their twitter won't change a legal issue. Especially one that involves copyright.
-
🌸 Avenue • EN Vtuber (@Avenuuu) reported@marty4282 @NintendoAmerica to give some context 1. nintendo has done this with irl tournaments too (mlg 2010, evo 2013) 2. sure they have the right to protect their games, but the problem is big house would not cause N any losses at all, so its pointless 3. N lied when they said it requires illegal roms
-
Rabid_Waluigi (@RabidWaluigi) reported@okconsoomer @Alltagsspieler @NintendoAmerica You'd think they'd be able to make a melee online service of their own, and not have to shut down mods instead. :/
-
David King's Simp (@DropMeNot_OCD) reported@UltraSpicyBoi @Ademozi2 @NintendoEurope Yeah can relate, some people don't even have a manual / guide to fix them even tho they bought it originally. But other platforms also have that problem too, and that doesn't make Nintendo "the worst VG Company in the world". Gotta admit other platforms' problem is less painful
-
Person von McPersonson (@person_von) reported@pooc88 @EmojoPensano @NintendoAmerica They clearly had the legal right to stop the tournament from using their game. Slippi might be fine on a personal use, but using it in a tournament where you can't stop ppl from using pirated copies is the issue for Nintendo.....
-
Fromundaman (@TheFromundaman) reported@Fujin_II At having the work put in to make these tools destroyed for no reason makes sense. Nintendo is within their rights to do this, hence why it's happening, but there's no reason for it, people are also within their rights to be upset and there IS a solution to the problem.
-
Luke (@Luketwolf1) reported@elscorchy @Masterge77 What ******** is Nintendo's problem? They had something great going with Virtual Console. Now we're stuck with "mediocre" online business design, bare minimal NES and SNES games. Like, come on. You're the richest ******' company and you cannot make another VC?
-
Corey Greene BLM (@CG_Sonicboom) reported@Sajallday14 Only issue with that ....in today’s climate .... using a underused IP from Nintendo is a gamble to put money into if gamers are not buying ...beyond hardcore fan base that grew up with IP case in point Kid Icarus .... tho i so think u make good point
-
Anonymongoose (@anonymongoose) reportedHow does age of calamity run on yuzu? I refuse to pay Nintendo a cent until they fix their ****.
-
waluigi (@waluigi18434706) reported@SrRyteAway @227Grayman @NintendoAmerica Same thing with Mario 3d remaster or tony hawk or crash nitro remake or demon soul remake ?
