STREET SMARTS
(@Mattybangin) reported
@snarkysunbro Its an issue with all systems, not just Nintend, but My guess is, if people are worked up about it more, its less of a chance Nintendo games eventually come to other things. PS "only"games have been eventually coming to PC, xbox is whatever, Nintendo stuff usually pretty stingy.

(@supermariojjk) reported
@ExpandDong15 Ok, Im sorry. I made it. I don't support Nintendo's bad business decisions though. I just want to play me some star fox 64 and have fun without being called a bootlicker. Now if this was more than 10 dollars, we would have an issue. Also I wouldn't say this if galaxy 2 got ported

@Terranauts93 @NateAndDestroy Can’t reach full potential when they didnt want to help fund the franchises development lol. I feel sorry for Kamiya because it must be such a broken record these days now having to convince people that choose not too that Nintendo’s capable of helping a studio.

@vampireancestor @BLVCK_PLVT Nintendo's continued protected popularity despite also being a corp. As opposed to Sony who just axed their Japanese Dev studios. If Nippon Ichi tubes their next flagship to Nintendo before Sony. There's a problem with American influence.

@MechaDragon101 Exactly. Sega canned Bayo 2 due to their own financial problems and Nintendo saved the game in exchange for exclusivity.

Little did Sega know that three decades after their Nintendon’t ads, Genesis games become a subscription service on a Nintendo Switch.

So, I'm in a quandary. Nintendo did this thing where they let peeps play SoS:PooT for free for a bit. So I did. Now I have a problem. I LIKE my little farm, my pomeranian, my little chicken, but do I like it enough to pay $40US? (I try to buy physical copy as much as possible.)

Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Might Be 50Hz In Europe….. in this day and age this should not even be an issue

@CThreeleaf Okay that’s not what I’m asking though. I’m asking what the flaws in NSO’s service are compared to XBL and PS+. Not a comparison between two different Nintendo services.

@Sonikko06 @MorsGames also it's not uncommon for me to encounter clips showcasing nso pretty much failing to provide a good experience. good for you that you do not get any of these issues, but I can't help but feel that nintendo doesn't give a **** sometimes, with 2 exceptions (mk8 and splatoon)

(@DrYunYun) reported
@TheAnonGirl4 Like most of the games they support/make, wish most of the games that are remakes aren’t $60 but it’s Nintendo. The business practices are kinda scummy though like limited releases and not helping people out with your hardware issue.

@DatChaosGuy I think its more that Nintendo doesn't want to go through the trouble of putting him in since they'll gave to get the rights from Disney. Hope I'm wrong though

@Sonikko06 @MorsGames afaik nothing that involves nintendo and online is lag free or even bearable, and I remember seeing clips of massive slowdowns in nso nes/snes co op

@theryumain @arrokudatime @Lavadoo4 No lol if you emulate an old *** game like Majora Mask for Nintendo 64 it's not stealing and it isn't even affecting their man source of Income companies make more money from the latest titles that is where emulation becomes a problem not grabbing older games lol

(@aranesque) reported
@spicybread5 @sevengranddad92 Indeed. I don't get how people isn't rising pitchforks over the fact that the emulation service from Nintendo had to be re launched three times (and more if I count portable consoles). Why start all over with the Switch? Just continue from where the Wii U and the Wii left!

AGM (AquelGamerMexicano)
(@PedroAGMYT) reported
@TreyNoblesRM The more time passes, the less difference between the three companies are. Nintendo's online service has poor code, but this offers to its audience just as much as Sony does with its PS Plus + Now combo. If they gave the monthly games, which i know it won't normally, it'd be good

@ThePikaboi If Activision actually gave a **** about Nintendo then Crash would already be in Smash and there’d be a CoD character in there too probably.

(@LittlePichi) reported
@savemepeach @ALittleBirdRGG but It was only one boy, everybody else either agreed with ren or simply disagreed and said the crown was good for her. I never thought her design was the issue, I think nintendo shot themselves in the foot the second they scrapped her connection to Peach

@Lavadoo4 @Metric_fox I think most people have no problem with people buying those easily emulated games legit if Nintendo actually provides it with their service to be fair haha. They've just done a bad job at it in the past lol

(@TwilightYonder) reported
@EricManero @Lulu_Troy @wootton120 Pokémon SnS was a shitshow but it still at least was a Pokémon game you know what your getting, Nintendo just abandoned all the fun elements the series was know for and doubled down on all the stuff SS and CS were infamous for. I can’t praise them for not fixing the real problems

@RoxaLink It’s okay the bike part on Nintendo switch used to have some controller problems depending on what ones you used.

@PlayerEssence Just thinking about how good Platinum has been since working with Nintendo. Like Astral Chain, Wonderful 101 and Bayo 2 are top tier. On other exclusives they have... Cancelled scalebound, and a live service drab looking Babylon's fall

@ZeldaUniverse I love Conker too, but rated M games from the system need to be sold separate from the expansion pack for the Nintendo Switch Online Service

@slime_boyo @Lavadoo4 you know that a lot of these roms, especially on nintendo's service, were lost to time, and had to be found online and re-downloaded from the same sites they went after, right?

Dear @NintendoAmerica : Why on Earth is my 3DS not working? I've done nothing to it. The unit automatically freezes. It just stops working. It's just broken. What are you going to do about it?
