@Mr_J300 @VHSDVDBLURAY4K **THIS ACOCUNT HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN BY DMCA** ANYTHING SAID AFTER THIS MESSAGE CAN AND WILL BE USED AS EVIDENCE - Nintendo Lawyers, probably

@ichikacactus @Shionatwalmart i think you can still connect they just shut down nintendo’s servers

10h

Trying to connect to Nintendo game chat but it’s not working 🪦

@Shazzledazzlee Long live physical media. WWE network, Nintendo WII Mario Kart survey going down, PlayStation stores going… all examples of things getting taken away. Nevermind.

@AnalizandoMac @dekar8 @PlayStation By the way, yes.🤝 I also decided that I'll save up for a Nintendo Switch 2 from now on. I hope they don't let me down.

@BoyTombRaider @KaizerNYC @taketotheskyes Comes down to if Nintendo published the game in Japan. And this game was not published by Nintendo in Japan.

@TRIPSTER0 No one cares that nintendo controversy is over, why arr you avoiding the current one? Sony is down bad & so are you.

@TheRealDaveLong @St1ka You own nothing when the servers are shut down. Both Nintendo and Sony have shown that they will do that. Stop being cattle.

@FlyingSilverCat @DomTheBomb Try playing PC when there a power outage. I will be on all my Switch and Switch 2 with a solar panel attach. Now that Nintendo Power.

@risebluesun @KJovian If Nintendo goes down so does the game. So you can only do that until the servers are up. Still digital.

@TaroTheCerelean Well you’re a ******. The Nintendo servers go down and you’re stuck with plastic.

@arcade_meta @CentroLeaks What happens when Nintendo shuts down servers that host the downloads for the pokemon game key cards?

PlayStation is dead to me, the only good competitor that legit knocked Nintendo the **** down born from Nintendo betrayal, and they just committed seppekku. D I S G U S T

@sean_nowell @Keo_02 @Zeidge13 Problem is what happens when Nintendo takes down those GKC specific servers? Nintendo isn't exactly known for preserving older stuff

@yekkusu The gkc have their own dedicated server Nintendo has no reason to shut them down

@KainYusanagi @Vmaximus009 @nintendolife Yes. But I doubt a multi billion dollar company like Nintendo servers will go down unless it's a nuclear or zombie apocalypse.

Limitations: If Nintendo shuts down the servers responsible for hosting the game downloads in the distant future, the game will no longer be downloadable

Those game key cards are going to be worthless once nintendo servers go down.

@TheGameVerse F*ck investors. nintendo‘s stock went down after it was rumoured they increased their employee‘s salaries by 10% They just hate it if workers can afford a living

@wetsprocket @YourPalMatt316 Well, sure Until Nintendo shuts the servers down, of course

@park_giraffic I think the only ones surviving are Steam and Nintendo, Sony is cooked, Microsoft will likely go down with them too

@BehindTGames Nintendo will not let us down!

@CoastalSpark23 @Cedrik1699 Yeah but if Xbox or PlayStation crash, the other goes down with it, Nintendo and PC won’t have much of an affect

@ShankMods Also steam has not shut down previous console stores unlike ps, nintendo and xbox

@NCyotee @GoodOldGames Why on earth is steam the only one who go down? No nintendo, no sony or microsoft the its only steam why?

@thepolishgiant @Billy_Basso Playstation is clearly going down rapidly based on their ****** decisions, but come on bro, they're still no Nintendo

@ToonRami Nintendo hasn't let us down! ...Yet.

@_coolguy5000 @darby_xtra @DiscussingFilm If u don’t u destined Look it up Nintendo has been trying for decades to **** down emulators How r they improving the situation ?

@SonicHero3D Who is going to buy those once Nintendo's switch servers go down?

@ShankMods steam doesn't shut down, Nintendo eshop and equivalents do
