I really don't think that it's a problem that Nintendo is merchandising a new(old but new) release.

@jtsknight92 Beat super Metroid, never played Earthbound and getting it on a console and service I have would be fun, kinda sad how you're excusing Nintendo's ****** management of NSO

@lazypinez It’s weird how arbitrary Nintendo is with changes to remasters. WW had good gameplay tweaks, MM was broken in many areas, and SS looks like it’ll basically be the same thing without new options. No relationship between whether tweaks should be made and the changes that are made.

@PapaWrite @DoctorAmyCat "its because nobody makes games quite as Polished as Nintendo" i personally don't believe this statement to be true,there are tons of companies still releasing polished titles on par with nintendo.The problem lies in the fact that people don't want to take any chances with 1/?

@ConnorStMich @CamCritiques @NintendoAmerica I’ve tried to replicate this issue, i’ve even disassembled both pairs of Joycons, replaced shells, accidentally left the dust covers off the new shells, and it still hasn’t happened, i just don’t see it as a common occurance.

@ErickADub @McTroid It feels more like the Nintendo I once knew is... gone, no more, they have good games, yeah... but look at all they could have improved, servers for online games? Fan games having deals made? To bring em? Faster service? Delay a ******* game if it makes em better!

the fact that Nintendo is offering us the worst retro games service to date and has added Super Baseball Simulator over Mario RPG and there are STILL weird nerds defending them for not putting historic cult classics on the Switch says everything you need to know about this fandom

@NintendoAmerica buy servers for your online service before I throw a brick at my switch.

@RGT_85 Garbage announcement for the service, how about some fire pro wrestling? @NintendoAmerica

@Adam19668424 This take stinks, obviously he just doesn't like EarthBound but he can't tie it to Nintendo's rerelease schedule. Also, putting it on a FREE SERVICE ON SWITCH is different from 13 BUCKS ON WII U, the former has a WAY larger audience.

It's crazy that even having the biggest fighting in the world Nintendo still won't even try an fix online

@Nintendeal Also looks like I’m gonna have to use a forwarding service again like I did for the Xenoblade de collectors edition if this doesn’t get released in the US... why Nintendo why do you hate us so?

@TheUncleAlShow This would be less bothersome (still bad but less of a problem) if Skyward Sword HD wasn't already $60 but Nintendo really wants people to shill money for this game. First the game itself, then the special Joycons, now this amiibo...

@VoidIllusia @NintendoAmerica This terrible service is exactly why I have every rom. Not just for preservation sake, but because I know Nintendo isn't going to give it to me.

@Nova2127u @HazelSpooder @UncleSquiddz and you don't have an NES mini, SNES mini, wii, gamcube, etc etc etc? 3DS is all but dead, grab one on the cheap and hack it to bits? "waaa, papa Nintendo, give us earrthbound." just gets old when there are solutions to your problem.

@Nova2127u @CamCritiques @NintendoAmerica Thats not fixing the issue, thats called damage control. The only way to fix the issue is simply make better hardware. And what about ppl with a Switch Lite? They literally HAVE to get an entirely new system. Like ffs instead of them denying it just make everyone happy and fix it

@Chunkinator104 Said by the same guy who not long ago admitted he hasn't liked any video games in general for ages. Not saying Nintendo doesn't have problems, [they have many problems,] but many of their games in a general sense are good enough even if nothing amazing often.

@IronJoeBro yeah maybe Nintendo should put better games on the service instead of "random SNES game #86" then more people would use the service lol

Phoenix Ikki Kills Your Favorites
(@ValkyrieJoules) reported
@persona_fied I don't necessarily disagree, but the issue here, at least for me, is that a remaster that was already tweaked to make it easier to play shouldn't have further accessibility locked behind amiibo. And that loops into the issue of Nintendo's creation of amiibo scarcity.

@DungoJoose @JCeretor @NintendoAmerica Making it purchasable in game(maybe a hard to craft item or something) would fix that issue tho, I don't see why it has to be locked behind a paid purchase(that anyone could get, it anything that makes this easier to have)

@YuukoEnjoyer @nintendolife It was actually really smart to test run it on Stadia first as before Monster Hunter Rise Nintendo Switch Online was garbo and checking for windows 98 it's net code was so old. So they couldn't just launch a cross platform game where one system was lagging behind the rest.

@saltydkdan I’m sure people agreeing with it being locked behind a pay wall have too much money or they suck off nintendo too much god I’m still waiting for them to fix the joycons legit my dusty GameCube controller works better that joycons after 4 months

(@DungoJoose) reported
@ShonicSSBM @JCeretor @NintendoAmerica I think I mentioned this way long ago, but I’d also be fine with as it is making it only available from the second playthrough onward. The main issue I have is that you can use it inside dungeons. That could really ruin a person’s first playthrough of the game.

@YesLegend936 @NintendoAmerica I'm paying for a service. A service that was once free. I don't care how much money it is, you're not giving me a reason to pay for it. By the way, if you're just going to stalk my comments just because I like banjo over steve, just follow me. Jesus christ.

@Zari_Wari @Worthlessproto1 @NintendoAmerica They're the single richest company in japan. You're not wrong. If they're not going to give us the service and the games that we've demanded for years now, what's the ******* point?

Connor
(@ConnorStMich) reported
@Nova2127u @CamCritiques @NintendoAmerica That’s the thing! We shouldn’t HAVE to be given all these options. We shouldn’t HAVE to get it repaired so soon or buy a new controller. Again, the only way to ACTUALLY fix it is Nintendo just making better hardware for it, they can but they choose not too.

@Lewchube i'm just saying pokemon has done this before, and for a pokemon that i don't think has ever been available in any game aside from a glitch or timed event i can just imagine if nintendo brought DK64 to the switch and locked instant kong switching to a chunky kong figure

(@Nova2127u) reported
@ConnorStMich @CamCritiques @NintendoAmerica I will admit the Switch Lite is a problem, but i just don’t see Joycon drift as a issue because 1: you don’t actually need them to play games, you have third-party controllers 2: i have multiple controllers from Nintendo and it hasn’t happened once in over 4 years.
