@JDBuffington @NintendoAmerica I had the same issue when swapping phones, Nintendo's costumer support can reset the authenticator so you can get logged back in

@zacktatom Basically any game Nintendo makes is marketed towards kids, and it's like... People seriously need to figure this **** out, because it's stuff like this that can get them in some serious legal trouble if they aren't careful.

@JoeQuesada @urbanbarbarian Think, most good people know that, they don't cause that much trouble, also after Minecraft has been sold, it's more commercial, less autist friendly . . Maybe, if Disney had their own, also Nintendo special play-ground, for autists, poor, troubled, even the sick kids #no_stress

lrt it looks like it just means you won't be able to use those platforms to login to a nintendo acc, and that you won't get points for linking those accounts? it doesn't seem like there's anything else? it's not a huge deal, it seems like

@UnclePepeloni @mrpyo1 @SocialNomadRach huh? Guess it depends on what area you lived in but the nintendo 64 was readily available at launch in 1996. Hell, they had a problem getting them off the shelves, especially in 97, 98. It was the least selling console of that generation and it wasnt close.

I think the largest problem with @Pokemon/ @NintendoAmerica and how they treated their content creators for suggesting Nuzlockes is the blowback the content creators received for simply bringing up IDEAS. It’s one side to the story we are hearing atm, but that’s no good.

@SILENTKNlGHT Image share has an option to link the social media account to the Nintendo account so you don't have to re-enter login details each time, but according to the link in Nintendo's tweet, linking is gone as well. Nintendo said 3DS/WiiU photo share will go away to interesting enough.

@Veno202 @NintendoAmerica From what i have heard these Accounts are the ones, who get hacked the most, so i guess they don't want to deal with that security Problem anymore, similiar to how many others companies also seem to stop making twitter/fb accounts an option. But it could also be something else
