@clonekrizalid @KevEdwardsRetro You can. Steam will stop functioning at some point, which will be a problem, but it's not the only distribution system out there - backups can be made and things will still work as long as there's no DRM. Which isn't perfect, but still infinitely better than on Nintendo consoles.

@Kotaku I absolutely adore and love the Nintendo Switch, but the limitation of the hardware is seriously an issue if you want to do something like this.

@statesminds @PlayerEssence @NintendoAmerica Of course they have to do things to keep a service going, why do you think sites apps games suddenly disappear when there’s no interest? Why not keep them all up to download? That’s because they can’t they all need some kind of maintenance to keep them going.

@NihilistGamer @dragongaiden @MyNintendoNews Problem is, N64 was using underpowered cartridges when Nintendo's competitors were using CDs. The Gamecube came out with its use of half-assed, half sized cds.

Nintendo: - Supports NFTs quietly but is afraid of PR issues - Removes ability to purchase roms, leaving only the Switch's expensive and inferior rental system - Promotes scalping via artificial scarcity - Destroys any creative effort from fans in the name of "IP protection"

@TheNCSmaster Agreed. And that’s my stance on emulation as well. Or it’s just the matter of a game is so rare/scarce. I’m gonna emulate it. But if I have means to purchase it officially. I will. And it’s not just Nintendo that has a issue with classic games. Microsoft, even Sony 1/2

@TheNCSmaster If Nintendo can't be assed to re release these games, I see no problem resorting to emulation

@MaaKor7 @EpicAndyGod @BenjiSales Also just coz a game is day 1 on PC doesn't mean more sales. RE8 sold less than Days Gone on just PS4 before PC sales. Days Gone launched bad. And RE is a historic IP, DG was a new IP. PS and Nintendo exclusives sellers than multiplats regularly. Sales ain't the issue as of Day 1

@Asterix811 @Lisnovski @Akfamilyhome I uploaded Mario Tennis Aces' title screen theme when it was having a pre-release online demo and there was never any issue. These things are to be expected, if Nintendo doesn't want it they can do their testing behind closed doors.

@ZNasaki @PerpetuallyKyle @GameHistoryOrg I don't care. Rich companies don't need us - the consumers - to protect them. Nintendo's just trying to get people onto their subscription service.

@AskPayPal I'm trying to purchase a game on the Nintendo Switch e-shop but it's giving me the error 2813-9310 unprocessable_entity and says to contact PayPal support if it continues

@Manta_Wild Luckily they plan to maintain bank by making it free (so you don’t have to use the eshop for it to function) The real issue comes when Nintendo itself shuts down wifi.

it’s crazy how scummy of a company nintendo is. putting up decade old ports of games for $60, shutting down access of over 1,000 games with no plans to make them accessible again, and not to mention the awful online subscription service. it just sucks to see.

@Persephone_CJ @astronichter Oh, and the same thing for video games! Nintendo is closing their WiiU online store. There are games availible on WiiU that are not availible on the Switch. Buy and download them now before its too late. Until your WiiU's hard drive has a head crash.

@swami_msn @Vamos13Real @TruGiffers I think manufacturers just don't know if they're defective or not until they get into customers hands. Nintendo can't really change the design right now because they would kinda be admitting that there's a problem-- which means they'll have to pay money. They'll probably settle.

@NintendoAmerica I wish I could buy Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, instead of signing for a service. Will it be possible, eventually?

@HatokTalk a loaded question is like what's your favorite nintendo online service the controversial assumption would be that any of them are good, and the answer would be meaningless because they're all bad and the person asking would look foolish cuz they'd be saying one of them is good

@KerimKwasTaken @onion_mu It's kind of the nature of installing CFWs or jailbreaks. Sometimes people managed to exploit the 3DS browsers to install CFWs on a 3DS. You could install a CFW the same way you used to jailbreak an iPhone. However Nintendo is quick to fix those exploits.

@uncleR_ichie @madmcc013 The only thing I don't like about Splatoon is that the newer games require a Nintendo Online subscription for online play. It seems like Nintendo is pushing people into buying their subscription service and I'm not going to support that.

@wookietim I think subscription services change everything. Would Nintendo share a Zelda game with Microsoft to be able to put Halo on its service? I think it's possible.
