@sandiano8 @JCBPLAYS Jesus you need to stop personifying these companies. It's not a "friendship" and it doesn't benefit "one side". It's a business decision that will cost Nintendo licensing fees to have on the subscription service, Microsoft will get money from this deal.

@Frappo_Chino I have someone in mind, but the honor goes to Crash. Ever since the whole debacle with Activision, I dread Nintendo and Sakurai being dragged into the crossfire.

@Complex_Nobody @Kotaku @NintendoAmerica Not happening. You want Bayonetta 3, buy a Switch. It's what you do. If you want to save 15% or more on your asshurt port begging issues, you switch to using COMMON SENSE! It's what you do.

@Knightly9999 Fair, the problem is that they realized there's nothing quite Nintendo on the market

@HylianHero83 @crazyzombee @NintendoAmerica Not everyone lives in the US, and it's going to be more expensive than that for a ****** service that barely works

@kkcannabis you can send them to Nintendo and tell them u got the joycons less than a year ago and theyll fix it for free

@jameswe81795877 @PostUp_bbb TLOU already made its money back. There is a reason why Factions is now separate. The scope is bigger. And the standalone will cost money. Go cheap and you will get cheap. Simple. PS fans and Nintendo fans pay for good games. Money shouldn't be an issue or a point against quality

@ExpansionLord @ParaStrife @TheNCSmaster Exactly more people criticize Nintendo everyday compared to sony which have told lies about the PS5 and had problems with censorship. But Sony can do no wrong for them.

@FallGuysGame good evening. Sorry to trouble you but is there any news or indication of when Fall Guys is coming to the Nintendo Switch? Us switchers are so excited but sad. Thanks. Mike

@SoltheHedgehog @mrwaxwave @NintendoAmerica If your laptop can't handle mGBA plus OBS at the same time, emulation is the least of your problems and it likely has more to do with OBS and a godawful laptop mGBA is the least intensive emulator I've ever used

@CaptnPickle @mrwaxwave @NintendoAmerica Yeah but why pay extra for emulation that is no harder for them?? Im already paying for the service, why lock games behind another paywall

I’m unsure why people are upset about Nintendo Online having an expansion pack. I wish all online services did this if the core online service was only $20 a year. Pay for the extras you want. XBL and PSN are minimum $60 a year whether you only care about gameplay or not.

@Glefabuleux @mrwaxwave @NintendoAmerica $3 apiece on Wii U and a bigger catalog. Why wouldn’t people complain about a ******, expensive service excluding this for a second ******, expensive service? Meanwhile Sony/Xbox only ADD value to their subscriptions without spawning lackluster subscription expansions.

@TahmAydoh @thompson_buddy @ExpandDong15 online. It’s a better service in every way and the price is more justified than Nintendo’s.

@2098diklooc @KirkRooster It's not kratos. Sony lost its classic mascots way back. If crash was still exclusive it would've been sony's iconic mascot. Kratos is not the face of sony. You think xbox you think of halo/master chief. You think nintendo you think mario. You think sony you think.. .....

@RandomName256 Yeah, that's what concerns me. Nothing like Nintendo living in the past with all their games/services. Maybe in 2054 we'll finally get that proper 3D Kirby and online service.

Shadow of the Ninja is a rare game that costs a lot of many to buy used, but with Nintendo switch online, you can play it on their online nes service.

@mrwaxwave @NintendoAmerica I like that we have it all in one console but I wish it wasn't tied to the online service:/

While I still want Crono in Smash I would be more than happy with Crash Bandicoot, Kratos, Master Chief, or Doom Guy in Smash. Most disappointing final fighter would be any first party character from Nintendo.

@DoesPichu @AlanKush420 @NintendoAmerica I wouldn't even include the word "unexpectedly". The way they did the tournaments to advertise SSB4 and Ultimate, where we knew the rulesets of each round before the tournament even started, still has issues. What if someone is knocked out for not working well in r1's rules...

(@blackxvillain) reported
@Acuriousbun All of it. Here's the problem. B2 had to get released twice to be wholly successful. The second release was far more popular because it was on a console a lot of people *want* to play. Nintendo knew this (which is why most of the Wii-U game library was ported to the Switch).

@mrwaxwave @NintendoAmerica Honestly every time I try to download a Ocarina of Time Emulator it comes out as a buggy broken mess so I just gave up.

(@blackxvillain) reported
@Acuriousbun The original problem was with Sega and their decision to cut back funding mid-project on B2 forcing Platinum to go to Nintendo. But Sega still has publishing and IP rights. NOW, because Nintendo literally has staff on B2 & 3, it can't be *not* exclusive.
