@TheAlunaEclipse @NintendoAmerica That's my issue to, but it's 60 for me, i think maybe if they add more to it (either more 64 games or like a gb/Gba option) then maybe I might go for it

@yuusharo @LuigiBlood Might be my memory playing tricks on me but I always remembered OoT running terribly on original hardware (input delay, bad framerate) so when I tested out this version I really didn’t see the issue with it. I won’t excuse the button mapping, that’s just lazy from Nintendo’s part

@NintendoAmerica Are you kidding us? Premium pricing for lag, sound issues and ******* UNMAPPABLE CONTROLS??? Yeah this must have cost you a lot... -_-

@MelPlayz90 @NintendoAmerica PS and XBox don’t make you use a phone to voice chat, for a few games. Nintendo doesn’t offer what the 360 and PS3 had built in. Nintendo’s “online” service is a failure on all accounts. I’m a Switch owner and fan. This is absurd and greedy for what’s being offered here.

given Nintendo's "Disney vault" mentality towards their back catalogue I can get my head around why there's so few games on the NSO service or why it took so long but I can't believe they released them in a less than pristine state

@ThatDocGuy_ @MutantAura lol i think people were just expecting emulation on switch to at least be on par with what we got 15 years ago on wii. I'm fairly sure this glitch only crashes on n64 because of hardware limitations which were clearly not an issue on wii so its funny to see nintendo regress

🍑Yikes been watching the switch online expansion pass. The lag input for games is awful. Oh and the connection between players is still awful. Goddammit Nintendo

@AboutNintendo Wow this is the actual words I've been looking for to Nintendo Twitter. Right now they are nitpicking every aspect of a service they "hate" shaming everyone who got it and is trying to act like they are the moral just cause for bloody video games... Its only video games.

So sad how nintendo ripping us off so u telling me I been a member of the online service for $20 a year & now order to play 64 games I got to pay $31.59 more to play old games what a joke y'all can keep that & the online is not good at all 😭😭 #NintendoSwitchOnline

@Graslu00 I know it's a subscription service, but does the game even get downloaded or is it streamed. Streaming games will always have lag, even in single player, and we all know Nintendo isn't good with online multiplayer, let alone a netplay style one

Glad to know that paying Nintendo $80 lets us play a version of Paper Mario 64 with more texture and particle errors than the one on my computer lmao

@VGMike7 @NintendoAmerica Not being forced to buy DLC this is just the price of the service and they are just including the DLC with it. Kinda like PS+ games or games with gold they’re included with your sub but your not paying for them. There isn’t gonna be a price pack without the DLC

@shiburizu Nintendo could literally make a service where you pay $1000 to have them **** in your mouth and kill your family and they'd still defend it

@JorgeLzro It’s not the only issue is, we don’t have a release window for future titles and what if later down the line they add consoles like wii and 3ds, is the price gonna go up? Nintendo just isn’t good at communicating

@Eman02kG @Akfamilyhome I'm aware and it took them a year to rush out the switch online service and nintendo haven't done anything to improve on it since its very poor release. The most they do is rerelease games onto the retro library.

@hooks1939 @NintendoAmerica I don't use voice chat, when I play online which is rare I have no problems and I have all consoles and like all games, it really doesn't bother me.

@chara_undertaIe i thought surely nintendo of all people could make an n64 emulator that doesn't have problems of some kind

@zallard1 Nintendo should care more about how their beloved franchises are represented. ESP when they charge more for access to just that with no meaningful increase in quality of the online service itself.

@NintendoAmerica Having to pay an extra $30($50) for that, heck no. Way too expensive for the miniscule "online service" compared to the competition at similar cost. Not worth it!

Does N64 lag on Nintendo's $50 emulator go down when you switch to game mode on a flatscreen?

@WalmartCAGaming I don’t really get people complaining about the service in this comment section, it’s Walmart what are they gonna do. (Not that saying this to Nintendo would do anything, but you know.)

@SpennyEcks Lol but seriously. People need to realise that the only way we'll see change is by not giving them money for making a bad service yk? It makes me mad because Nintendo takes advantage of their fans and release cheap content. At least you know now.

@aig2k14 @NintendoAmerica Is it cause of the expansion pack or your switch being broken?
