@DemeechYT Man this is my biggest problem with Nintendo. They still think we’re overly nostalgic for the NES and SNES. As someone who grew up in the 2000’s, I’d do anything to play more GameCube games on my Switch, especially because I missed out on most titles due to owning a PS2 instead

@Akfamilyhome So Nintendo can take down fan creations just fine but have no problem taking other people's creations?

waiting until the day the next Nintendo leak happens where Pikmin's source code gets leaked just so we can try to fix the bugs that the first game had.

@PeachPubby this server makes them stack into 1 chicken to save server lag. I tried to name the full stack "Nintendo 64 Chickens in 1" but turns out if you name one it separates it from the stack so now I'm sad

@Irrev77 @exonymat @Xbox The point is Xbox are crying about there being too many adverts in the Super Bowl, I flipped that and said they should focus on their own problems Nothing to do with Sony or Nintendo, but for the record... they are just as bad/complicit

The Issue: its really slow....even tho its a racing game.... this deff would have been a better ride structure for Luigi’s Mansion. Im hoping since in the US theres going to be an entire Nintendo Park that will be the case for theming that ride.

@sevengranddad92 -online service, it really doesn't give people the right to practically commit a crime as a way to take a stand. We got SNES games on Nintendo switch online because we asked for it. Not because we illegally downloaded games for that to happen.

@NintendoAmerica Did this mean N64 is coming to the Nintendo online service? The service has been lackluster for a while now. Wouldn’t mind seeing N64, GBA and the rest of the Gameboy family finally come to the service.

@BoundaryBreak They really could've done so much to fix New Horizons QoL issues. I don't get why Nintendo is treated like an indie studio that can't afford to make changes to their games.

@WayForward Hypothetically speaking... if Nintendo were to announce GB & GBC games coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Would Shantae be included as part of it or would it be it's own separate paid download?

@kujikawaii Oh wow, I didn't know it sold so many copies! Then maybe it's just the usual problem with Nintendo and that they've run out of ideas for a sequel? (many say this is also the reason for no new mario kart, starfox and f-zero game)

@Vanoffanelia @K_Dogg0 @SpawnWaveMedia The touch screen was used for the menu, but again a bare minimum fix. The Nintendo 64 remakes were pretty much the same games but with better graphics. A Link Between Worlds would be the only one that would require any modicum of effort.

I'm mixed about this because Nintendo hasn't even put Nintendo 64 games on their online service yet, and yet Nintendo might still strike you down for pirating Mario Tennis 64. And pirating a game that old is ultimately harmless. But people have to resort to that because–

@TremiRodomi Eh. I dunno. Im still ok with them. I dont like how heavy handed they were the Glover issue but as far as some of the random nonsense accusations being flung at them about hoarding IPS... Thats fine. At least they are actively trying to release them to storefronts unlike Nintendo

I want every **** who angrily told me I'm an ******* for playing switch games without a wired connection to choke on a big **** the wireless connection was never the issue it's Nintendo's net code. What a waste of twenty bucks.

@PowerA @NintendoAmerica I confirmed that my wired @PowerA controller works the same way with the parental controls app. It still seems like a Nintendo issue, unless you can confirm that it works for you. My system is up to date.

@ratracegrad Nintendo online is a subscription service that unlocks online features for some games. It doesn’t really do anything without a switch (or some other Nintendo console)

@THEREALRTU @Nintendo @YouTube The issue is that Nintendo does this 1 step forward 2 steps back thing with hardware.. or they used to. The gamecube should have had larger media/discs.. they were small.. and some developers had to use more than one like freaking CDs were done on the early playstation.

Nintendo consoles are hot garbage. They get damaged very easy and there’s no console I’ve had that didn’t have a ****** problem with it.

@Lord_Nightmare @LuigiBlood I just came across this issue too. I had to go through 3 different Super Nintendo’s to finally find one that would actually play Super off Road and Turtles in Time. Games run fine, but only on a particular SNES.

@NintendoAmerica your garbage *** pro controller joy sticks broke on me on the second use. Jesus Christ fix your controllers there’s no way a $60 controller breaks that quickly. Pathetic.
