@Sigilynk @NintendoAmerica I can only speak for myself and everything runs fine for me, yet im not using the n64 controller im using a pro controller. Maybe the problem is that.

@Sigilynk @NintendoAmerica I haven't noticed that, still input delay on n64 is an issue since new hardware is different dk64 on wiiu had one minigame that was really hard because of that but is not unplayable. Sorry to hear that you got that problem, by any chance are you playing the European version?

For the record, this is the first news I've heard about #NintendoSwitchOnline having input delay issues, so I've no opinion on it quite yet. However, I'm fairly certain the N64 had less issues than even Nintendo fanboys are making it out to be. All to defend Nintendo? Odd.

@NintendoAmerica But your n64 emulator is iffy at best...might want to fix that first

@SpawnWaveMedia Why did you buy it in the first place? Wasn't the entire point NOT to buy it so Nintendo could finally take the hint that they're over-charging for a ridiculous service? People like you are what fuel Nintendo to be a ****** company smh

@LockwoodMakuRoc @apeslion It's still the same issue : Nintendo asking us to pay extra for a service that is better done in free to access software developed by fans

@BriceNicholXIII @MeecoPaco @NintendoAmerica Stealing is wrong. But I’ve stolen plenty of **** and broken a lot of laws. I’m just not pretending it’s noble. Unlike some other hypocrites who are mad they’re not getting their way.

I am shocked to hear that the N64 games on Nintendo Switch aren't running properly. Even more shocked that online multiplayer has issues.

@purplemage572 @NintendoAmerica I was talking about the expansion pack. Not the main NSO service.

@AvocadoGameLive @ModernVintageG True, they also did it blind and by trial and error. Nintendo has all the documents needed to create a good emulator without any guesswork.

@kingboozx3 @NintendoAmerica Playstation NOW: A joke that really IS a bad service. Games 10+ years old require you to use a Cloud service to play- notoriously always bad. Pay $15 a month ON TOP of $10 for Playstation Plus to play online, so $25 in total with no option to combine the two. Pay more Tax.

@Shokio_YT Stop the mii hate. I'm not sugar coating Nintendo at all. Based on what I'm hearing Nintendo needs to refund everyone and fix their ****.

So what is the actual technical problem with Nintendo's Expansion pack? All I see are people complaining about them "not being emulated properly" but don't go into specifics

(@AuraWolf92) reported
@Kotaku Nintendo might have decent games (not my cup of tea personally) but they REALLY lag behind when it comes to things like Internet & network Infrastructure. They need a version of Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus because as of now their online wasn't even worth paying for at £20

We ran the online last night and for a friend that had terrible download/upload speed and another one on WiFi, we barely experienced any lag whatsoever. Before anyone comes after me, I’m not defending Nintendo on this bullshit. I’m speaking from experience.

@Sigilynk @NintendoAmerica Then is the European version the one with the problem? Nintendo changed European version to run at 60hz maybe that's why is laggy. If you believe that may be the cause try to tell people and Nintendo about it so they can fix it fastet

And to no one's surprise #NintendoSwitchOnline is an overpriced garbage fire. This is what happens when fans throw their money at half-assed products without a second thought. At least Nintendo will fix the issues a couple of years down the road.

@tastyjerkk I don't trust Nintendo with anything they do in regards to the older games. They could have had a service all the way back from the Wii where they just let people play games. Let them pay for it and play the damn games.

@purplemage572 @Ethan8053 @NintendoAmerica I mean adding basic online features such as regular voice chat and messaging would overall improve the network. You can not compare this to game pass at all because that is actually a good service.

of course, why nintendo didn't emulate the gamecube/wii vc version of oot instead where this glitch doesn't crash your game, who knows
