    @NintendoAmerica My money is on Crash Bandicoot

  • emilipls
    my name is root beer surge and i love abstinence! (@emilipls) reported

    @emilia_acnh @Cashminaacnh It was in issue that started a few months ago; there were ‘presents’ that were hacked that upon pickup got hard locked in you inventory and were literally impossible to remove. don’t think Nintendo has patched it.

    @NintendoAmerica CRASH CRASH

    @Brudanos gonna say crash bandicoot for my serious answer and another pokemon for my "nintendo hates its fans" answer.

    John Smith (@DoctorWhoLad) reported

    @_MissClick_ Disney has no issues licensing out characters, example A is Fortnite. If Sora doesn’t work out it’s cause Disney wanted something Nintendo didnt (ie Donald and Goofy in the game)

    Big ChristMass (@realBigMass) reported

    @TheSegajorn @NintendoAmerica My only theory is Crash. A party spin off game is rumoured to be announced too so it lines up. That being said Steve lined up with Crash 4 so it will probably be anyone but Crash lol

    @Krolliox @NintendoAmerica Finally someone with sense also crash tho

  • RGameplayXtreme

    @NintendoAmerica I want Geno, Crash or a TF2 rep, but it'll probably be Jonesy

    @DragonierZapp If only I had a ps4 and Nintendo hadn't banned me. I was planning to actually buy the game but 3rd world problems with videogames. If it gets a pc release though...

    @NintendoAmerica Crash bandicoot would be great

  • funnyguygongon
    Funnyguygongon (@funnyguygongon) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I’m sayin either crash and will probably put crash 4 on switch or sora and kh3 or the 1 and 2 REmixes on switch, since hero came to smash when the next dragon quest was about to release

  • Smiley_Ldn
    No Name ⚡ (@Smiley_Ldn) reported

    @nadiakhaledx Some copy right issues and how dangerous it was. Any injuries would look really bad on Nintendo. Makes sense tbh but still very unfortunate

    @WavePrism_ and in general this is an issue with nintendo fans as they usually keep buying **** they do not care about just because nintendo made it

  • ShugaPro_YT
    ewokboss (@ShugaPro_YT) reported

    @Simply_sunky @NintendoAmerica Hate to break it to you but fortnite is the next character. If you have a problem with that then delete the game

    anyone else genuinely feel terrible about somewhat anticipating the next smash character bc i feel like im part of the problem even if i've called out and dunked on nintendo hundreds of times

    @NintendoAmerica Crash or Rayman

  • bjmashpotato
    Brendan Miller (@bjmashpotato) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Ok hear me out on this. They use the K.Rool trailer for the 3rd time. It’s Crash’s silhouette, but then it’s revealed to be Sonic, because they both have spin moves. But then Crash spins Sonic out of the way, leading to the tag line “Crash gets N’Sane”

    @NintendoAmerica @Ultima_Wielder I really wanna see people's reactions when either Sora or a fortnite character gets in either twitter will break again or Nintendo switches are gonna be broken. This is gonna be so hilarious.

  • Criszaledex_B
    Criss. A. H. Bojorg (@Criszaledex_B) reported

    @NintendoUK I want either Euden or Crash in! (I want more but those 2 are the top)

  • Super_FOG
    Fabricio Mendonça 🇧🇷 (@Super_FOG) reported

    @THEREALRTU It's even worse when this was preceeded by others Nintendo wrongdoings towards their fans. If was ONLY the C&D on that Melee mod I would be fine, the problem is what came before, like Nintendo refusing to cooperate with e-sports companies to make a Smash Bros. league.

    @NintendoAmerica Hades? Sora? Crash? Jak? Ratchet? Master Chief? Hollow Knight? Shovel Knight? Geno? Shadow? Pokemon? Fall Guy? Makoto? Yu? Tifa? Noctis? Bro it has to be one of this come on!

    I say this like I actually own a switch and play Nintendo games legally but still CRASH IN SMASH CRASH IN SMASH

  • Patrick90301

    Either way people are hating on Nintendo now because of these issues. I think it’s all dumb. Except the fan events, that was cold!

  • CeddyXCed
    NuffCed (@CeddyXCed) reported

    @supersteakbros @EMKReal @TSM_Leffen Tbh that specific example sounds more of Nintendo than him outright saying he's anti-competitive. Normally I've felt he was but this adds a little more color to the issue

  • UndrDogGaming
    Undr | twitch.tv/undr (@UndrDogGaming) reported

    ...subjected to this in the past as well. The big issue for me that is a new step in a bad direction for Nintendo is their silencing of the Splatoon community. Here’s the deal folks. Nintendo will never be the company that supports eSports. Melee was fine during the...
