@Game_catchers17 @ttrom_actual @TheSeumas My phone does a better job of emulating these *25 year old* games. There shouldn't BE input lag. Period. Certainly not for the price they're charging. Man. Nintendo fans.

@BeLeaf789 I really hope Nintendo fix the button layout that the only thing I don’t like about the service.

@Antithesis404 @LazyZach23 Theoretically yes, if he followed everything in Nintendo’s ToS, and other legal things. But even then, I’m pretty sure that Nintendo will win because it’s their own service, so they can do whatever is right. I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that you can sue.

Playstation: We're bringing our exclusives to PC! Xbox: Play all our games & more on PC or Xbox for a reasonable monthly fee! Nintendo: Pay us $50 a year to play some godawful ports that you already bought years ago and an online service that's held together by velcro.

@FTrash935 @RedemptionSSB And the online bias is because they rely solely on input lag and nintendo's shoddy online service to get anywhere. Played right Samus can be a lot more effective than people often see by going into random online matches

@AkBKukU @NintendoAmerica I wonder if they will add a patch in an update that will address the issue and add support for the new N64 controller.

Man, Nintendo really messed up the N64 and Mega Drive/Sega Genesis expansion pack. I think they should have just added the MD/N64 games to the service and made the Animal Crossing DLC separate. It's kind of crazy Nintendo doesn't even have a good N64 emulator yet. 😕

I’m real glad I haven’t paid for the Nintendo Switch Expansion yet. YES I wanna play those games portable / on my Switch. But the online lag alone defeats the whole purpose of playing games like Mario Kart, with that price…

@Abriael @XboxElCid Not a fanboy. Just going based on facts 🤷. I give credit where credit is due. For example the great 1st party games that Nintendo and ps has, and well, back in the 360 days xbox was the first to allow the 2nd local player to sign in their own account.

@Thinkgametalk I read it, my point is if Nintendo can't even offer a good online service experience at all don't even expect that they can or will offer a good service on PC,they have everything to do it but they are very closed minded and don't even really care. Sounds good but will not happen

@Thinkgametalk Nintendo needs first to address all the current problems of the NSO, improve the online service connectivity (move from P2P)and what they currently offer on it. They need to growth there because they lack from experience and need to move out the old traditional way they are using

@_FalloutZombie_ @GarylikesGames Alright, dude. I've heard enough. You don't get to come onto my post & start being a jerk to me & my friends over a stupid online service. Believe it or not, not everyone who defends it is a Nintendo bootlicker; it's called having different view from yours. Get blocked.

@thebestiespod I just want you to talk about the ridiculous pricing and the AC expansion in there. Will this mean Nintendo Online is now a first party expansion service? It’s not worth it if it’s not.

@NianticHelp You need to fix it so that if we used our @NintendoAmerica account to sign up, we can still connect our @Google account that we use for Pokemon GO.

@ErickADub People have always said that Super Nintendo and NES emulation look better on Switch than they do on Wii U, so that won't be a problem.

@Ya_Boi_Shell @ArloStuff I actually think we're in agreement, then. I've got no problem with Nintendo criticism, I was in the trenches of the Wii u years. But people act like this is the biggest tragedy they've ever endured.
