@Directortoby @Grizzlykreiden If it gets to a new console and starts from scratch all over again then I'll be first to say "oh, piss off". But if the next console continues the service from where it left off, then it'll be clearer at that point that Nintendo's playing the (very) long game here

COOL NINTENDO FACT #2: Captain Falcon died in a crash years ago, but no one has had the heart to break the news.

@MisatoVivian yet I've never had a single problem with a single Sony product in my life. But I've gone through many Xbox systems and Nintendo systems. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

@nintendolife Man, Nintendo is so slooow with turning the Switch Online Service into the next iteration of the once amazing Virtual Console service.

@Directortoby @Grizzlykreiden I don't disagree that it's going slower than ****. It seems clear to me, though – and if I'm wrong I'll happily call it out – that this is a service Nintendo plans to carry on to whatever the next system will be, if there even is a new system (it might just make a Switch 2)

I hAve a switch lite console that has broken due to no fault of ours, nintendo then made up a false accusation that my daughter had broken it, which was false. They then asked that I pay a fee of £137 to get the console fixed when it hadnt been broken by us in the first place.

@DragonsDeadly @NintendoAmerica Apparently they did, but they didn’t announce it, they did something similar to the fix with the little piece of paper that became popular not too long ago, idk how true is that tho lol

@MaekaGaming Even if it is they still don't release the Nintendo, GameCube, N64 games. A few every month when you have a catalog of a few thousand just seems counterproductive. They should offer a retro service or something where you can just play what you want when you want.

@scully1888 I think an issue is that nintendo seems to think a large majority of their consumers never owned their systems at least 2 console generations in a row and coming from the wii u it makes sense but considering that now would have been the best time to strike the iron with these-

@thazodiak @Kotaku Most of the problem is that the causal community doesn’t care. The average consumer doesn’t care about this and the competitive smash community is far too small to make a meaningful dent in Nintendo’s profits by themselves.

@scully1888 I think another issue is that nintendo is doing a terrible job when it comes to rereleasing retro games. They start over with some of the oldest console/handheld games they have and slowly work up and almost never reach the point of the games that people who are reaching their-

@JonComms @Daley_Kong To be fair, the GB would fare much better and it's library would be significantly larger. The trouble with the N64 is that most of the games that came out for the system, most of which improved massively on Nintendo's offerings, simply won't be available.

Online video game addiction is a serious issue but NBC using B-Roll with a Super Nintendo controller will never not be funny.

@scully1888 I mean i think it's fine to criticise Nintendo on a very basic service releasing 8-bit games in 2021.

@MikeyDitaranto @Chase_247_ Most people that have problems with Nintendo Servers are Smash players because Smash doesn’t even have its own servers, I’ve never met someone who has good internet and problems with Splatoon Online

@SSJ3Goku90 Either way, they won't even do it right. Nintendo always incorrectly uses their VC service every which way. From unable to transfer them easily. Losing them when the service is shut down on the old console. All the games should have been converted and release after 3 gen's.

@quatoria Thanks for sharing, I suppose I've felt this way for quite a long time. And I've tried so many times. I still do. Old Disney movies, nintendo games. Even the nostalgia doesn't work for me. I feel kinda broken.

@Mendinso @qqnosh Yeah, that's... really missing the point of the issue. Nintendo seriously needs to fix their account system going forward. (And I'd argue, no, it is not better, especially in the face of what the service offers vs. what VC proper offered)

Absolutely discusted with @NintendoUK DO NOT BUY DIRECT FROM THEM. The customer service I received was appalling and to ask that I pay a fee to fix a console that wasnt broken by my daughter, but an actual fault with the console is absolutely diabolical!

apparently there are rumors that nintendo is adding gameboy + gameboy color but no gameboy advance to the online service and i have to say, that would be the most laughably bad decision they have made in the past 5 years

Shocking lack of goodwill/sense from customer care @NintendoUK, yet 'high value on feedback', so here is ours: Large multinational, huge profits. Despite proof of purchase, no offer to fix/ replace defective gamecard. Warning: don't buy cards, download instead @MumsnetTowers.

@DependentSpider Nintendo didn't promote the release of Overwatch's Switch version when the Blitzchung situation happened, so yeah chances of Crash being in Smash is lower.

I asked for the console bk, had an independent computer technician look into the accused problem to which i was met with the fact that the console could not have been broken by us, it was a fault with the device. Nintendo have now voided the warranty!!

@Masterofmenall1 @Optimus_Code @JoeMiller101 Sure they are behind Nintendo and Sony. What’s your point? Are they going away? Will they leave the gaming business? You make it sound like it’s a devastating issue. They are doing their own thing. Just enjoy the games!
