@GamesBeat @JeffGrubb Yeah. It’s crappy that for even less on PS/Xbox with how easy it is to get discounts, they give us more than Nintendo’s service…

@AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica I mean, what do you expect? A good game being locked behind a ****** and overpriced service is something that anyone would get mad at lol

@basteele @Wario64 Idk the US prices but in the UK it's £35. For £50 (actually as cheap as £30 if you search Google), you can get PS Plus. For £15 more you get FAR more for what you pay. Nintendo doesn't need money for their online service as it's Peer 2 Peer. And not everyone likes the Exp Pass

@NintendoAmerica Please reduce the price of the expansions. The service is already terrible and having to pay extra for +20 years old games is a big middle finger to your fans.

@NintendoAmerica Cool. Still not worth 50$ for some emulated games and a bad online service but still cool.

@Rain311X @NintendoAmerica No that’s kinda the whole point of making it exclusive to the online service. You don’t know how business works do you?

@StumpyArt @NintendoAmerica Saaame. When I saw this I was like “OH COOL I WANT THAT”, but then I remembered the expansion service. 💀

No SEGA games. No NES or SNES games for those without the Expansion Pack. This is such a horrendous model. Look, I defend a lot of stupid stuff, and I don't take issue with the fact Nintendo just does their retro games, but I can't believe this dripfeed **** for 3 generations.

@ChePoopy @NintendoAmerica I see your point. Just doesn't feel necessary to complain about a service you are not forced to participate in. Have a good one.

@basteele @Wario64 Nintendo's online service is so lacking. No IM, no integrated voice chat etc. Those are the absolute basics now. Their offering is so lackluster compared to the competition and it's a joke.

Remember when Nintendo discontinued their Virtual Console even though there is still a demand for their backlog of old games in favor of The Nintendo Online Service? So glad that The Nintendo Online Service is a Success 🙄

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo and IS should really learn that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Paper Mario was a series that was fine as it was and then they decided to just butcher it for not reason at all. Hopefully the younger generations will finally be able to experience good Paper Mario now.

@NintendoAmerica What the actual **** Nintendo?! Not only do you have a ****** online service in general, but you’re charging 2.5 times MORE for the expansion pass to get sub par N64 ports and you’re only going to add 1 game per month? Hard pass… I’m contemplating canceling my online altogether!

@NintendoAmerica Gatekeeping a game like this with a subscription service just encourages the use of Retroarch. Might have bought it if it was actually available too.

(@DeadmanMano) reported
My biggest problem with Nintendo Switch Online (other than it being overpriced and a trash service) is that there’s no option to just buy the games you want. I want to play Paper Mario, but not for $50 a year. The service has no value if you only care about 2-3 games.

@NintendoAmerica Unless you’re able to save yourself from the HORRIBLE business decisions you’ve been making about this service.

So the animal crossing island transfer tool is super broken and the island back up makes you have to go through customer service to be able to obtain, nintendo what ******** is this bullshit that is insanity I just want my save data

Like, it continues to baffle me how Nintendo operates sometimes. They charge 2.5x the base NSO price for a service that barely does the job that it's supposed to, and at the same time, make the release timing of games SLOWER??? What ******** is going on with this company?

@LuigiSidekick Oh god don't jinx it and we don't even have potential GC/C, and Advance yet either. Modern Nintendo is still being **** as always. When they do something right they do soemthing ****** later on. I'm convinced this service has no future and they keep saying they will fix it,...ye.

@fersama10 @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica Yeah, multiple payments a year. I'm sure we can all afford that; the problem is that what's being offered isn't worth the cost, especially when what Nintendo has offered in the past and piracy offering the same product at much higher quality.

@TheRavingTimes @NintendoAmerica You’re not buying the game, you’re buying the service. Quit whining. It’s literally the same with all other online services

@AgentToad7 @NintendoAmerica I believe that applies to the overall N64 Switch Online service. Since you can’t just access each of the games piecemeal, the highest rated game determines the rating of the compilation as a whole.

@TheRavingTimes @NintendoAmerica Except it's missing RPG mechanics, original characters, and has too much emphasis on the paper aesthetic. Despite that, I still really like Origami King but I would definitely have to say that PM64 is better, it sucks that the better game is tied to a $50 service.

1 more thing: I don't think Odyssey is a bad game by itself. Nintendo really put love on it, but the bad decisions really ruined it for me. I was hoping for a Renaissance in Mario like happened in Zelda with BOTW, but they did it wrong. Really hope the sequel fix all these issues
