The "upgraded membership" for the N64 online is a bit insulting. Nintendo hasn't made much in the way of improving their online service and if they're seriously jacking up the price just to play the N64 titles, knowing full well that people wanted them, that's really crappy.

@redtutel @dbloodworth2 The real play is to buy them/pay for Nintendo's service, but then emulate them anyways because if you know what you are doing emulating those games can be a much better experience than anything they offer officially.

Seen some complaining about Nintendo charging more for N64 games on its online service since you can emulate them for free but that doesn't take into account that the market of gamers who emulate is infinitely smaller than those who don't. Casuals will eat this up.

@DogasusBackpack I have a little nostalgia for that time period where Pokémon news was leaked from CoroCoro Comics issues, but ultimately, I'm glad that Nintendo/The Pokémon Company are currently able to reveal news on places like their YouTube channels.

@AstyanaxHector Included with Regular Internet price? You mean your internet connection that's from an outside source, that's not Nintendo or have no connection with them at all? My Verizon Internet Bill is not part of the NSO, so no. Also, Nintendo has been upfront about it being a paid service

@Grail12013 No problem paying a sub but would much rather be able to buy them before Nintendo make a new console and decide these games might not be on it

@seekertha07 I haven't seen the full show either, but I'm guessing these are the games in the Nintendo Online service. I think they might cost extra

Miiverse as a whole was pretty great. Sucks that Nintendo has stopped the service being accessed at all, even just looking back at profiles would be cool

@Vet_093 It depends how much more you need to pay. If it's like, 5 bucks, absolutely yes it's okay, but if it's the price of a normal Nintendo Switch Online subscription, then that's when it starts to become an issue

ocarina of time will be on nintendo online service 🥰 BUT you have to pay more to get it 😤

Also I hate this stupid conversation about the last smash presentation being on Nick All Star day. You can obviously be excited for both, the problem is the odds that Nintendo landed on this specific day without them using business tactics are slim to none. Obviously enjoy both.

@IngiteSsb Don't think the price for the online service has been announced yet. The controllers will likely be $50 though since Nintendo tends to price them around there.

@KeptPromise42 @NintendoAmerica Here's your chance to keep a loyal follower of 10 years. Your career has plummeted worse than the stock market crash in 2008, and I'm not accepting it anymore. Make better tweets or else I WILL be taking my likes elsewhere.

Looking forward to Nintendo including Turbo Graphix-16 in their Switch Online service in another three years. The world needs to play more Bonk

@SEGA thanks for making me pay 30$ for a collection of broken genesis games and then having them for free as long as you have the new tier for nintendo online 🤬

@feefway Every time I've tried netplay on not dolphin it's always been a laggy slow mess or someone has desync issues. For as not great as Nintendo's online is I've never once had that problem. Plus the only other way to play banjo on the go is with gamepass and I don't have my XBone here

@redtutel @dbloodworth2 Except they aren't "selling" the old games They're renting them. They will cease to exist or be remotely playable in the next 10 years when Nintendo kills the servers or the service. Meanwhile, I still own and can play my Wii & Wii U VC games.

This is kind of a long shot but do I have any followers or does anyone know a contact in Japan that can get me the Mega Drive controller for Nintendo Switch Online whenever that drops? I could use a forwarding service but that's kinda messy.

To this day I thought we’ll never see another Xbox live gold situation but somehow Nintendo had to step in that territory and make an expansion pass for an online service lol

(@TheHunterBishop) reported
Hardcore/retro gamers combined are a fraction of the market. The majority of gaming consumers are casuals who don't know how or don't want to emulate old games. They'll think its cool to have N64 on Switch. Why would Nintendo cater their service to the minority of consumers.

@Alien_Armadillo maybe, but boy, you'd think square and nintendo wouldn't be so problematic about it considering they've gotten so close again. my guess is square just doesn't want their stuff on a rental service, which tbh i can understand that, i don't approve of nso's rental stuff either

@CJSeedge @eurogamer Or, it could just be stock footage? Or it could be a framesync issue between the Nintendo Direct and the footage used? Or people are grasping at straws? 🤷 I'm done with this cyclical conversation. Enjoy your day kiddo.

@Foxhound_Maisey That’s the problem even to try the game you have to spend 60-70 on it.. would be nice to see more demos like Nintendo does on switch

(@Marquessadilla) reported
@Acuriousbun The issue is that claiming the smash community “just can’t be excited for both” isn’t fair, it’s that nintendo has actively harmed the smash community in the past (for really no reason) and therefore not wanting to support them is fairly reasonable

Now, the gaming standpoint of this: if you don't own any Xbox system 360 onward, you cannot play Banjo-Kazooie without a Nintendo 64...until...whenever it's on the new service. The HD ports got rid of a major issue that made the game harder originally...the notes. (6/?)

@AEGRO_84 I swear, why are people still pushing the nonexistent console wars? The last time it was ever truly prevalent was the Seventh Generation, and even then most of that was fans trying to cause trouble. Just enjoy video games, no one should care if you stan Sony, Xbox, or Nintendo.

@sundownmotel @GiantSizeBort I don't think Nintendo ever did anything because the fans had a problem with the initial announcement. They are a patient and pragmatic company.

Honestly id like if they made a Nintendo cinematic universe if the Mario Movie does well ...maybe not by Illumination since I have a lot of issues with them but maybe with an in house studio
