@thenumber9door @NintendoAmerica What’s broken about this game again? I didn’t experience any issues with it.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix the NSO emulation issues with N64 games. Many games have audio issues, missing fog effects and have glaring input lag issues. This is not acceptable to be released in this state, thank you.

@NintendoAmerica Hello @NintendoAmerica , will you fix the issues on NSO N64 emulator? It's a shame

Then there is the input lag OMG I can push a button and then my finger is in the air before the game actually does the action, it's so slow! For the price, it's a really piss poor effort from Nintendo, and really sad to see these classic games treated with such disrespect 😭

@NerdArtAndGames I think those people are just babies who are just quick to have a whinge. I’m giving Nintendo the benefit of the doubt, and stay optimistic that the problem may have just been internet traffic. Or it’s a problem they can fix over time... - Todd

@NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport i've joined the lawsuit against then because there's NO WAY i'm paying $80 to fix a console that shouldnt have this problem, and that nintendo has known about prior the release of the lite

@samred i've always hated hated hated hated HATED how nintendo broke the buttons in 3DAS by making B the jump button. How freaking stupid were they? I had to use system level remaps to fix that... Which thankfully NSO made not required. But you can't remap NSO pads for some dumb reason.

@NintendoAmerica On one hand, I’m paying a large amount of cash for a junk service just to play retro games. On the other hand if I am to emulate games I could be risking getting sent to jail for pirating. The world is so unfair. WHAT SHOULD I DO? IS IT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK JUST TO PLAY N64?!!?

I bought the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack so you don't have to. There is no substitute for the OG N64 controller. Mario Kart just felt broken. Not a good value for the $50. Wait until they fix things/release more games.

@NintendoAmerica I’ll only purchase once the missing graphics/textures are fixed in an update for the N64 games along with the online multiplayer lag in Mario kart 64

...than a current gen console with a paid online service thats overpriced and practically unplayable is astonishing and not even remotely surprising given Nintendo's track record of not giving a **** about legacy content. Piracy is a no-no, but in this case, I don't feel bad.

@thetruebowser Doug, I've still not heard back from Nintendo JP, and you are the only one who can help get my issue w/ NoA's reps with JP's reps. I've had my OLED for over a week, and I've no interest in it because all of my files are gone. You're the only one who can help me.

@NintendoAmerica It's not worth getting as it is now. Add more games to the apps, fix the jank with the online service, and add discounts to games on the Eshop with the expansion (like Xbox and PSN does) and maybe I'll consider. Til then, no thanks. Not even the base NSO is worth it to me.

@Magikarp_God @IGN Also you are missing the point of the original tweet. I’m saying the multi-billion dollar company Nintendo shouldn’t be having these many issues with the launch of their expansion to online.

@drilbit777 @SaiyanPride45 @NintendoAmerica Yeah like I barely had any problems. I’ve had a few drops but it runs at a solid frame rate/ close to a solid frame rate most of the time. Unless you play multiplayer Lol

@JackHarteveld @scully1888 It's one more needless issues in a pile of of problems plaguing a service that'd be a ****** minimum effort money grab even if it worked properly. As it stands, you'd be better of playing SM64 with UltraHLE from 1999 rather than Nintendo's "custom" emulator.
