Bowser and Donkey kong being skylanders implies that Crash and Spyro are canon in the Nintendo universe

Before I get the game I must first...figure out how to fix my Nintendo joystick drift. Damn it Nintendo, you used to be one of the good guys in terms of making sure your machines don't do this kind of fuckery. You failed me.

@NintendoAmerica hey, when are you guys going to make the joycons more functional and fix the drifting problem?

Last time I checked the big 3 were on same stage at the TGAs now y'all looking even more clownish then Nintendo with the whole Mario 3D all stars issue... Heck Microsoft is actually doing things that are mic drops.... I'm not fanboy btw keep that in mind. I play fighting games...

@PSUdotcom Can someone tell me why this is a problem? I saw someone with a headline about how Sony has gone 'crazy' followed up by this news. What is the problem? Nintendo remakes just about everything they can and it doesn't set the gaming works on fire.

@TheLegendOfXela The issue with Nintendo is that they're the only one of the three that doesn't have any experience with VR already. Well I guess there's Labo VR but eh. lol

@ChikoritaCheez Nintendo is being heavily biased with JRPG characters in Smash and I hate it. Can we get more characters like Master Chief, Dante, Doomguy, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Jonesy, Chell, Heavy Weapons Guy, Shovel Knight, Spyro, etc. Is it too much to ask for more variety?

@P_Dawg_ Only being visible through press releases isn't a bad thing inherently, Yoshiaki Koizumi over at Nintendo has a pretty positive reception under similar circumstances. The problem is that Jim Ryan is saying Don Mattrick levels of headass statements.

I'm gonna be honest... Microsoft comes off as the most consumer friendly company. I'd argue Nintendo if they expanded their online service and took a serious look at their prices. Sony is just stumbling terribly right now.

@ArloStuff Nintendo honestly needs some western leadership at the helm. I will never understand Nintendos issue with rereleasing old content. If you put Luigis, Pikmin, old Pokemon games etc onto Switch they would sell like hotcakes. And honestly where the hell is Mario Kart 9?

@FunSpeculation Nintendo's poor online service and lack of features keeps me from the platform. I have limited time and will never be able to play every game. So, I go with the most complete package. I start with service, hardware is next and then games.

If Crash were to come to Smash, I'd like his reveal trailer to be in reference to the old commercials where he called out Nintendo HQ due to being on Playstation.

I would argue that Sony has been a comedy of errors since the end of the PS2 era, with a brief 2-3 years when it started giving a **** again after Nintendo and Microsoft collectively kicked the company’s ***.

@ChikoritaCheez Pichu is still the worst echo fighter... Sora, Waluigi, Geno and Goku will NEVER be playable ever! The fandom and the community are brainless, spoiled brats Subspace Emissary is overrated, level design is bad, barely any fan-service, lack of Nintendo-themed environments

I've been talking about buying new Joy-Cons, but instead decided to send my current two pairs to Nintendo to fix and I'm so glad I did that. Hopefully they'll be back soon!

@xxgheavyarms Positive image doesn't produce money. Sony made 25 billion dollars in revenue last year. More than Nintendo and Microsoft combined. They can keep the rental service

@AshLetsPlayNews @phosphor112 @enterzalman Personally speaking I think Nintendo learned some things from previous mistakes with the Wii U but still keeps dragging some other mistakes from way before that don't want to fix due stubbornness (online gaming) but I hope they change their mind in a near future.

@Dshnackart Nintendo is weird with Brown characters. They start off Brown but they get lighter as they get more popular- its definitely a colorism issue going on.

If you think about the games that defined Nintendo and Microsoft consoles, pretty much all of them are first party. Microsoft have leveraged this to their advantage with the game pass, and Nintendo really do the same with their online service.

@Metalhead9806 If Sony only cared about money during the launch of the PS3 we wouldn't have had quality titles like Ridge Racer which was 1080p, 60fps in 2006 before Xbox could match that. The problem with PS5 is that they're in corporate mode, similar to Nintendo's arrogance with the Wii.

@NintendoAmerica is that safe to place Nintendo Switch Console into a Router's DMZ? Is that Safe For buying on eshop, virus attacks or any other security issues?

@dmc_dmcc @layton_sami PS has found their success and have stuck to it Saying it can't be their future and must try something else would hurt them more Xbox has overhauled everything because everything else before has failed for them Nintendo continued existence is proof of not fixing what isn't broken
