An update to image posting and X.com

Effective immediately, image posts are again no longer allowed on r/Nintendo.

We had recently allowed image posting on r/Nintendo as a solution to allow Nintendo-based news whose primary source is X.com. While reaction to the ban on X links has been overwhelmingly positive, allowing image posts has had the unintentional consequence of bringing in many posts which break rules 2, 3, and 4.

To make sure that we keep up to date with all Nintendo-related news, we have decided to allow secondary sources for any news in which the primary source is X.com. The secondary source should be a reputable source – E.g. a well-known gaming news organization – which directly references the primary source and reports it accurately. If multiple articles covering the same news are posted, we will keep up the first article posted which adheres to our posting guidelines.

In addition to keeping our community more focused on news and discussion, this will have the added benefit of keeping more of X off of the subreddit. Thank you all for your patience and cooperation.
