@Harmony__Bunny Exactly. And Crash's obvious popularity made me think he'd obviously make it, but with the ordeal I think Nintendo sees that it would do more harm than good PR wise (heck, Activision is being investigated by the State of California, that's no joke)

@AskPlayStation I have a PS5 controller that's seeing a lot of analog stick drift. I just went through this with my Switch as well and Nintendo was super helpful but I can only contact PS agents during business hours when I'm working. How can I fix this without taking off work?

@Yellowflower42 And Nintendo would have zero issue giving out that money, with the money they’ve made from Nintendo switch online all these years. BRUH NINTENDO IS LOADED WTF are you talking about please educate yourself god damn 😭

@ExpandDong15 Ok, Im sorry. I made it. I don't support Nintendo's bad business decisions though. I just want to play me some star fox 64 and have fun without being called a bootlicker. Now if this was more than 10 dollars, we would have an issue. Also I wouldn't say this if galaxy 2 got ported

@FalKoopa_ I don't really see them releasing smash 64 on the online service. Nintendo is already so against supporting anything other instalment other then smash ultimate.

@TheMaractusMan This argument is over. Devs have spoken out many times that Nintendo is hard to work with. It's an ongoing issue. They do not play well with others. And I will listen to the devs, not you.

@CartridgeGames @sevengranddad92 Nintendo switch online is already not really worth it considering how god awful their online is. This is the least they could do to make it a decent service

@CraftyAdrian360 @Yellowflower42 If I’m paying an online service cause the company needs funds for stable servers that better reflect in online play. And it does for PlayStation and Xbox. The online servers are stable and good. Nintendo tho? They have proven to use old *** unstable servers in the year 2021.

@theryumain @arrokudatime @Lavadoo4 No lol if you emulate an old *** game like Majora Mask for Nintendo 64 it's not stealing and it isn't even affecting their man source of Income companies make more money from the latest titles that is where emulation becomes a problem not grabbing older games lol

@snarkysunbro Its an issue with all systems, not just Nintend, but My guess is, if people are worked up about it more, its less of a chance Nintendo games eventually come to other things. PS "only"games have been eventually coming to PC, xbox is whatever, Nintendo stuff usually pretty stingy.

Nintendo should release Saturn games as part of them online service, but make it exclusive to Japan as the west disrespected the system so our markets won't the same nostalgia for it.

@Yellowflower42 This should’ve been a thing since the service launched. There is 0 merit in Nintendo switch online. It feels like locking online play behind a pay wall already. Then on top of that ****, they decide to up the price when it has SOMETHING worthwhile? Nah **** nintendo for that.

@Ghenghis8 @CartridgeGames @sevengranddad92 You're still not seeing the issue? Have you not payed attention to anyone who's asked for them to bring back the original style VC where you got to keep your games? SNES Classic? You mean the thing that was scalped to hell, and Nintendo said they didn't want to make more them?

@CrafterArmys Sony did not change the price after adding extra features because they realised $60 a year was not worth the online alone. They added features to make the service worth it. Nintendo however decided $20 a year is worth online alone. So new services cost extra.

@CrafterArmys Microsoft and SEGA's deals are most likely to get a percentage of the profit rather than a specific amount. If Nintendo did not charge extra it would just cut into the already existing service.

@savemepeach @ALittleBirdRGG but It was only one boy, everybody else either agreed with ren or simply disagreed and said the crown was good for her. I never thought her design was the issue, I think nintendo shot themselves in the foot the second they scrapped her connection to Peach

It'd be nice to play Wind Waker and OoT mobile, but I can't see myself paying for a nintendo subscription service at this juncture in my life. It's a shame if they withhold a physical release to boost membership rates, but if they don't do the right thing we can always emulate.

@PcElitest Uh no we don't share the same mindset and I am just a gamer that like Nintendo, Japanese and Indies games. If you find an issue with that then go seek a doctor they might help you. And you calling me a Nintendrone doesn't do anything.

(@PokeDeeG) reported
@sevengranddad92 I'd gladly pay $20 for a bunch of NES and SNES games, but forcing that on people who just want to play online is cruel. I thought Nintendo making a paid subscription for an online service would mean the online would get better, but it's not so online play should be free.
-

(@Yellowflower42) reported
@CrafterArmys Nintendo charges $20 a year for Online fully expecting to get all the profits from it. If Microsoft and SEGA were to then make a large cut into that, sure, Nintendo would still be making profit, but barely any at all. They charge for the service for a reason.

@MrSujano ??? This is literally talking about Nintendo's SNES and now N64 online service, nothing to do with "the community"

@shocknero What they need to do is charge $180 a year and just put hundreds of games on the service and call it Nintendo Pass.
