@Eamon1987 @realEthnol @LeakyPandy I was in reply to the trilogy the person above mentioned. To be honest nintendo sent kingdom hearts 1 to be on cloud service because they were having issues if I recall correctly so I’m not too confident in Switch as most games run poorer on the switch

@nextgensgamer @ianwilgaus @bogorad222 Some* but not all. That game was in development for years. Regardless, it breaks your lame narrative here. No one is perfect, not Nintendo either. Enjoy Halo or don’t, but I’m not going to act like a great game today that had issues isn’t something that Sony’s never endured.

@Xx_Boone_xX @DreamcastGuy No no what I'm saying is that the emulation used for Nintendo's online service isn't even emulating the games correctly or genuinely. Like missing fog, incorrect colors and textures etc

@knsheely @NotABigJerk @DCLBlogger We can't even have games live on forever without falling into license conflict limbo like GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 where nobody can legally sell reproductions as nobody owns the rights to all the licensed content. You think an NFT will fix licenses? Man, you're naive.

Apparently, it's a known glitch and OF COURSE Nintendo has done **** all to fix it. Right. Sixty Dollars. "It just works"

@HumanityPlague Oh yeah, definitely not Ryu's fault, and he very rarely makes those videos any more because of the lag, but I still skip them from him and grandpoobear and anyone else because it's just tough to watch - which, like you said- is actually amazing that nintendo sucks so much at that

@IGN Well, Nintendo is a company with serious problems with money, they make almost nothing. Poor ones, people should be patient!

Every app or service is trying to get in on the spotify wrapped train now. Nintendo telling me I played hundreds of hours of Animal Crossing last year and barely any this year should indicate they need to support their games better.

@Haus_SSB If it's FD, it means you're probably playing a Luigi, and Luigi wifi warriors always play like they're offline through lag. But specifically, Nintendo's infrastructure for online servers is 20+ years old. So old, that in Splat 2 they found files to run it Windows 98 compatible...

@tabriata24 Understandable performance is sad it's not the games fault but Nintendo and there weak *** switch i still played through it fully because I come from playing the 3ds smts so graphics or whatever were not my issue but really makes you appreciate the power of the 3ds for it's time

@BB_blueyellow I think you are getting way too over your head for this. Acting like every other game or franchise isn't having similar issues from time to time like Sonic does. Even Nintendo's first party games have issues that need patching, even worse only patching a few times and move on.

Didn't think it would happen, but at least in the US, if one wanted a Switch, one was able to buy a Switch with a touch of effort. Kudos to Nintendo for managing the supply chain issues quite well @NintendoAmerica $7974 $NTDOY

@Calian_999 Then how about we wait until this whole Activision and Kotick BS is done. Maybe Nintendo and Sakurai would consider adding Crash and Spyro. Because the Smash Ultimate Sequel deserves more Fighters, and 82 isn't enough to hit 100.

@phineasfool @NintendoAmerica Not being able to gift games to other people is like the biggest revenue loss that Nintendo could easily fix.

@TheMaverickGal @bellomancer IMHO, the fact that we don't even get Pokemon re-releases on the virtual consoles Nintendo customers actually pay for is why I personally don't have an issue with ROMs of the older games. Players WANT to give them money but they refuse to put it out there.

We wouldn't let a streaming service get away with making the last half hour of The Wizard of Oz run at 14 frames per second on purpose; why do we allow gaming companies (especially Nintendo) to put out less than minimal effort for older releases then charge extreme prices?

@TheNCSmaster We needed virtual console versions, but it seems that support for 3ds is gone as is the global link. If Nintendo were to do something similar to what it’s done with nes snes and n64 titles and have an emulator app , I feel like that could solve the issue of scarcity.

@Ragnarok_AM @NintendoAmerica That's a very poorly made collection with multiple technical issues that ruin the experience.

I think I know why the NSO price is way higher than before. Since Genesis games are on the service, Nintendo has to pay royalties to Sega for their games while still making a profit. Thus, the price had to be increased dramaticaly. #NintendoSwitchOnline
