@NeelBell Nintendo? About trophy support it would be a good surprise, but very improbable. The quality of the servers they are trying to fix, but just time will tell...

@AEGRO_84 Guess who’s running that service for Sony it’s Microsoft stop being childish when it comes to overall dollar revenue Microsoft is gonna top both Sony and Nintendo why you ask cause both of them plus sega are all now partnered with Microsoft for these future services

@Kita_in_da_haus That’s my assumption, but I don’t own an android device, so I can’t test it. Same problem for Nintendo Switch, XBox, and Mac.

@Adrien_Baril @8Bit_Hero_ @mrpyo1 Xbox DOES have competition though in their gaming library. The service thing is a different scenario because they've had gamepass for a while but as far as "who can put games out and sell consoles" them, Sony and Nintendo have always been butting heads.

@PGATOUR2K @PGATOUR2K can you please fix the servers on the Nintendo Switch version of the game so new courses designed on other platforms can be played? I don't want to sound pushy but I've been waiting 4 days for new courses to come out and @2KSupport haven't given me anything to help

PlayStation Now is a failure!Just create a similar service similar to Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch Online!

@oldmategamer @GamingSinceNES @Blew_the_Kake Reviews are only part of the problem. I just see good games being sold short, and that's my issue. We have photorealism from Sony and MS, but Nintendo outsells them both with less effort. I have no issue with Nintendo, I just think we should see the same success for the other 2.

Nintendo is so out of touch Leaving an online competitive game without any updates is unthinkable, Smash still have balance issues

@AboutNintendo @NintendoAmerica it would have input lag which immediately kills melee for the competitive players

@hernan_algut4 @Xbox_Series_XS @AEGRO_84 Lol Sony will not offer their $70 games on their so called Spartacus service. It’s just PS Plus + PS Now combined. That’s all. Sony proved that even with games like Returnal, the $70 model is quite sustainable. Nintendo also keeps proving that. Quality matters

@kidsmoove FYI those that want a Series X. Go to ANY Target and just ask the electronics customer service person if there are any available. A know a Nintendo Rep inform of this yesterday and he bought one, yesterday. They have them in the back inventory, not on display.

@NintendoAmerica Okay so put it on the switch online service along other first party titles to preserve video game history & idk maybe to incentivize people to get the online service?

@OrigOxymoron @VegarboComics I explain you. Torna was suposed to be chapter 7 and 8 the problem was than the scope of the game was getting bigger and bigger and a lot of Torna ideas could had be their own game. So that Is why with Nintendo sugestion they made the dlc.

@davidscottjaffe To be fair, the response from the entire industry is just laughable lip service. Why don't Sony, Nintendo, and MS actually make a real statement and block Activision games from sale on their platforms till Kotick is removed? Otherwise it's just empty rhetoric

@NintendoUK listen guys. Can’t help feeling slightly let down by the current state of the NSO service. I’m now paying £60 a year & with such a huge backlog of games you give us 1 in December? Where’s more NES & SNES?

@AG_ABDULAZIZ @BenjiSales It's both. But with digital DRM, I don't think turning off net service will allow games to start. Alot of today's single player games don't. Other than Nintendo switch games.

@NintendoEurope when I pay £400 for a new console that I can't use because it's taken over 2 months for you to try and fix an account issue and I'm still waiting!! @NintendoUK @NintendoSW

@Bossgamer4life1 @xMBGx I'm thinking that too. I don't mind the service and I knew they would be merged at some point but I was more expecting a direct competitor to Gamepass. It really isn't if there isn't PS5 titles. It feel more like a Nintendo type retro service at this point.

@mollipen @MNeko Well there's already a few PS2 titled on PSNOW as it is. Problem is they are like Nintendo and never add any more.

@IGN Nah this sounds like a Nintendo Switch Online competitor. Albeit, this will almost certainly be done better, or so I tell myself, than NSO, but it’s definitely not a gamepass. It’s a backwards compatibility service to play all the old games for one cost a month.

@God_ofMisch1ef It's more like Nintendo Switch Online, but they never use that service bc all they know is Xbox.

@fersama10 @Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica Read the room. The problem isn't being broke. The problem is that the NSO in general sucks: terrible connection, lackluster features, pathetic retro catalogue. Also, FREE fan made emulators for PCs and phones give you a much better experience than Nintendo's official offerings.

@HylianHero83 @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica That's part of the problem, the entire time NSO has existed, they haven't given us any firm plan or roadmap! XBL/PSN tell you up front you are getting X amount of games, you're getting them monthly (along with other basic online features NSO still doesn't have)!

@KirkRooster I laugh @ fanboys that don’t realize Microsoft runs Sonys cloud gaming ambition’s and all Sony fanboys sound childish when trying to make a statement about this Remember children Microsoft has Sony Nintendo and now Sega under its future service ambitions stop being children

@PPybro @omniJake472 @NintendoAmerica A port would trigger a bunch of Smash elitist anyway. They want to retain exploits for competitive play, so having them tamper with that could cause problems. Balancing would be an interesting discussion though.

@itsJoshualive @JonComms @CastIrony The game on the Nintendo switch had many more problems that the n64 version didn't. There's plenty of videos of it, I'm not being miserable, you're being in denial for some reason
