@stephentotilo How hard is it for Nintendo to make these 20-30 year old games playable, much less accessible to people who are paying for this extra service?

@MegosMenace Nintendo has been pretty consistent with good remakes of remasters. The bigger problem is sometimes how it’s distributed (like 3D All Stars being discontinued so soon) but they’ve never had all out disasters like launch-Master Chief Collection

@_DogBiscuits It shouldn't have better performance. The Switch needs to be updated. For as long as people like you excuse it, Nintendo will keep milking it. All those games have their issues caused my an underpowered switch.

@NintendoAmerica it would be cool if you start with the broken master sword but it does like only 15-20 damage

@MindKog Yeah, they'd quicker just make their own streaming service. It is a bit silly though, Nintendo has enough beloved music in their library to rival some huge music labels, they'd make bank putting it on spotify

@flawdamayne @bad_latency @NintendoAmerica Wii had too many good games problem. Even in 2023 I haven't finished my backlog

@IGN I can see where nintendo is struggling with what to do here. All they need is basically an updated switch, changing from what they have would be insane at this point. But then the issue comes with the marketing, which is what led to being so desperate before the switch came out.

@heatherbOttawa @HDHaZmY Nah it's an issue with Nintendo's servers, most other consoles have better ones

@GamerThumbTV @Ronmower You aren’t wrong. I feel the game should not be $70 as well. But ya mentioned the main problem: people are still gonna buy it. The open market decides what a product costs, and Nintendo knows it. Is it scummy? Yea but if it still makes a business money, then why wouldn’t they?

@NintendoAmerica Release the game boy/advanced Pokémon games on your online service and you will make a fortune. Give it home integration too. Pleeeeaase

@leonhartsel The thing is we also got a complete remakes from Crash Bandicoot and Spyro for all 3 of their games $40 so i don’t see how one remake from Nintendo is worth $40 Ik it differs it’s just matter of value so people can whatever they want with their it’s just not worth it to me

@reitheboi @antdude92 I can't stand the fact that it's a subscription! That means if I stop paying for it someday, my progress is locked away. They can also shut down the service anytime, as we've seen with Nintendo WFC. I'd much rather pay the price of 1 month's subscription to own the game forever.

@TheYokaiQueen like the audacity to charge that much for a game on a console known for its performance issues....... nintendo truly is taking L's left and right

@getonthestiix I like that idea. Ideally backlash should ensued. Since it reasonable no problem should occur, ps,xbox and Nintendo have now join the $70 club. Reasonably right? Now there will be some attrition but not enough people will call into question on why NW games price hike is warranted

Captain N vs The Game
(@RAIN_GandM) reported
@Memberthegame If Nintendo could get most if not all of their popular games from these systems on their service it would effectively kill the need for emulators and ROMs and at a very reasonable price.

@bad_latency @NintendoAmerica i literally wrote "sounds crazy" in my tweet as a qualifier to my statement. But aside from that, more games doesn't just equate to better. Look one console further than Wii U in that of the Wii as a prime example here. Switch has the Wii problem, too many not good games.

@LetsPlayKitty I never had a Nintendo Switch I once had an SNES, but idk if it was sold or broken

@GamerhubCo Amen. Why, why, why... Why on hell putting the clips? The problem is more with the clips than with me missing manual at this point @NintendoAmerica . Cheap, poorly planned stuff.

(@flawdamayne) reported
@NintendoAmerica one of the problems with the direct, besides pacing, was the fact that there were simply _too many_ games shown. Sounds crazy, but it really washed out many of the titles because so many similar titles were also shown.

@NinWire @NintendoAmerica needs to fix their model. All they're doing is rewarding scalpers; people who don't actually like their products but just want to steal from others by pilfering Nintendo's art. If they really cared about how their IPs are treated they'd fix it.

@DisneyDLV @NintendoAmerica I literally just wish Scrooges signs didn’t have a glitch so I could play 🥲 it says I crafted 4/4 but only have 3 in my backpack. Super bummed I’m stalled out of the game.

@fricksbackatit while researching my issue i saw some people say they contacted nintendo and got replacement joycons if it's still under warranty it's worth a shot at least

@MJudahBrave @WorldsXbox Clearly, that's why I'm not making the argument. However the issue does come to the the budget vs audience vs title ratio and there is a valid argument that it can only takes 1 successful title to sway users and build a substantial IP, to which Nintendo has more possible in a way

(@FluffyCloudGmr) reported
Like, if there is any game that Nintendo could do live service or even dump heaps of paid DLC for, New Horizons has both the format and the audience to do it. My only hope is that they recognize how popular Animal Crossing is and make that a priority in the next game at least.

@ConnorBeTweetin @xaviersonline I have massive creative world on Nintendo switch that I play constantly and have zero problems with it. Obviously chunks need to render which can take some time but that’s only if you travel far in a short period of time

(@AhSherYerMan) reported
@ArloStuff Nintendo's decision to not include any mainline Pokemon game on the GB or GBA NSO service is ridiculous and in my opinion they shouldn't have even bothered if you don't bring the most iconic games of the system to it.
