@kapebeansies ou should do this on art of copyrighted material by companies that are overly protective of their copyright, such as Disney or Nintendo. This gets those awful art thief companies in big trouble.

Thinking about the time I got screwed out of a limited edition Gold 3DS XL because something went wrong in the software and it couldn’t boot games. Sent it to Nintendo to fix it. They sent back a red one instead.

@PowReturns @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica The thing that pisses me off is that yeah you get it but as soon as your out the service then opp it’s gone, if it actually gave you the dlc to own that would be worth it

@FortniteGame could help me understand why I sign into the game. I get an unexpected error message on my Xbox S, but I'm able to play on my Xbox X & Nintendo Switch.

@UltimaShadowX @KirbyCheatFurby The problem with adventures is that its not a starfox game like how they reskinned mario2, except they took some zeldaish game and ported SFmodels into it It doesnt fitnthebgameplaynof any other SF game, and it was the start of nintendo constantly messing with the formula

@OfficialXboxU What’s concerning you? Of course if Microsoft buys Publisher it‘s no problem when PS and Nintendo players are left over. You’re a hypocrite and dishonest guy. Jeff Grubb and Greg Miller spoke of a very big acquisition from Japan that is Sony preparing. So it’s most likely SQEX.

@Mojang I play Minecraft on nintendo switch and im running into issues like not being able to go to the MC marketplace and not being able to customize my skins in the character creator. Can you please fix these bugs?

@Pigkip_ @WardenDean @NintendoAmerica That’s not a fix ******* Using a different service instead of the one I’m paying for DOENST fix the issue

Also all arguments about this issue are really easy to generalize. Like it's so easy to paint one side as bootlicking sycophants and the other as malicious haters. Nintendo can do bad ****, but we need to not be hyperbolic when they do bad **** and start needless flame wars

@DKFanCaptRattly @ExpandDong15 @LuigiBlood Basically, if a fan makes a game about "Yoshi evading taxes" Nintendo is not going to bother because those aren't the type of games they make. But if a fan make a REMAKE, thats an issue

@__Styx__ @justeunan PlayStation plus is the price of one entire game per year to get 3 free games every month as well as having retro games available to buy for $10 - $20. I Don't know too much about Nintendo's services but PlayStation has a phenomenal paid service even if the games randomly rotate.

@joshxd001 Like the EarthBound series, Nintendo seems to make a big deal out of that game and will likely do so when they announce it for Switch. Doubt Square Enix is too much of a trouble when that game has seen a release on Wii, Wii U, and the SNES mini console (and Smash cameos).

Dear @MojangSupport, I use a nintendo switch. Since the recent bug fix, Minecraft has been acting very strange. The game will randomly freeze for 5 - 20 seconds, it is very laggy, and I can't access the marketplace at all. It makes Minecraft hard to want to play. - A loyal player

@linusgsebastian Playstation: er, um, that guy...? XBOX: Master Chief Nintendo: Mario, Link, Samus, etc... kinda makes it easy to see why Nintendo just won't die, no matter how poor their service is, huh...

After my Xbox Series X controller stopped working after 4 months, i'm not buying another controller from Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft until they fix their quality control of these controllers. #Sony #Microsoft #Nintendo

Blockbuster but it's a public service. Like a library for movies and video games. Nintendo should be legally required to supply copies of Super Mario World for 7 day rentals.

@ProChara Yeah I agree. I don’t even really care for Splatoon but it’s a weird argument to be seeing all over. Nintendo’s main problem imo is that they try to reinvent the wheel every game and it usually just disrupts a solid formula. It’s actually nice to see them not try to change it

@pixer415 Interesting idea, surprised the cloud thing doesn’t exist yet Or how Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft still doesn’t allow you to transfer save data & purchases between accounts, it’s a small issue but an issue nevertheless

@SavioBriion You can do that but only if you’re subscribed to Nintendo Online (the paid service). As far as I can tell. So being there in person would be the free way to do it.

@MissinN0 But somehow the broken, buggy *** Mario Sunshine or Melee, or mediocre Wind Waker or Kirbys Air Ride or 3 hour long Luigis Mansion was worth your time, right? Early 2000s was just drought after drought for Nintendo on Gamecube, not a good time to be a fan at all.
