@Audreygeddon18 @FUNimation @NintendoAmerica That means nothing. INSTEAD of letting the console apps be straight garbage for years they wasted time. Fix what you already broke THEN work on new stuff.

@Kotaku I like how you listed Nintendo as the exception. Their issues aren’t with games, staff and development, it’s about how poorly they connect with their fans by continuing to ignore and shut down the people that love their games.

@IlfaynAndrard @NintendoAmerica @Pokemon I mean I'm not crushed if I don't get one. I got lucky and got one from a friend (and a shiny celebi). Just wanted to be able to redeem my own. But I know there are many out there with this issue AND haven't gotten one. So if I can figure out how to fix this for others. :)

Mark my words next Summer Nintendo will suddenly re-invent the idea of the Virtual Console. Because they've realized HD upscales, or just direct unedited ports, can be sold for $60 for a limited time only, rather than put on a $4/month Netflix-style service.

Nintendo, be like, okay, we'll give you one SNES ROM on their online service that people care about, while the others are just fodder that no one ever cares about, every couple of months.

@NintendoAmerica My 10yo named his ACNH island on the game he and his siblings got for Chanukah before realizing that it would lock the name for his siblings as well. He wanted to send you an email, but we couldn't find a customer service email address. Here's his letter:

@Nintendo Undercooked Virtual Console service. I love that you guys went with a subscription based system for virtual console games, but 1. There isn’t enough and 2. It’s the same NES/SNES virtual console games we’ve been playing for so many years since the Wii

@FUNimation @NintendoAmerica ....Too bad the streaming is terrible...I tried giving it multiple chances...it's terrible. On PC I'd get bombarded with this weird ad glitch that made a single episode take an hour to watch...

@RubyRogers7902 Well it's really up to Sakurai and Nintendo. I personally don't have a problem with Bandana Dee being a DLC character as long as he contributes enough reason to earn the slot. Three more slots still remain opened.

@NintendoCanada Hoping to see Mario RPG sooner than later. Either for this service or part of another pack. It's crazy how excited I get for new games being added to this service!

@NintendoAmerica Can't you guys fix your damn online service already and give games from other consoles, instead of just NES and SNES? -_- I mean, having to pay to play online was already ****, but Nintendo came and showed everyone that things could be worse, with **** like this.

no
(@uhhmeow_SSB) reported
@Kuddler_ Although it's great that Nintendo released those games on the online service, it still sucks that we had to wait MONTHS to get the full trilogy instead of releasing the DKC trilogy on the same day.

@raidonbungeling @NintendoAmerica Wouldnt there be rights issues with it since Konami made the game and now nick owns the game rights?

@mistermegative Why should Squeenix put them on Nintendo's $20/year subscription service when they can instead charge you $5-10 each for them?
