I'm really debating bothering with PS premium. Even with all the issues with the versions being used aside, it's crazy expensive compared to the other two. Microsoft and Nintendo's approach has been so much better.

@Ko2099 @H3llac4k @Nick101Gaming Even with these tendencies to play anywhere, the exclusivities in the cloud will continue, each company has its own streaming service, the only ones who will really have all the games will be the players on PC, except for Nintendo, which is in another league.

@Acebalt1 @SharenaVonAskr @none_ofbusiness The issue was, like with the N64, Nintendo went a route that developers did not like, namely miniDVD instead of full size DVD. It could only fit 1.5GB of data instead of around 5GB, so developers preferred to make games for systems that used DVDs instead. The GC was great though.

Note: I'm playing the Nintendo Switch Online version of the game with the official wireless N64 controller, while the system is connected to an HDMI monitor. in terms of input lag, to me it feels identical to the Wii Virtual Console version with this setup

@shadow_kylie Sound like the cooling fan. Try vacuuming the vents. If that doesn't work, get in touch with Nintendo customer support. Even if it's no longer under warranty, there's a fair chance they'll be able to service it for you by replacing the required bits.

@VolcanixRBX @NintendoAmerica I was once thinking that Nintendo would be dumb enough to add the likes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to the service. They already have The Immortal.

@sami_odyssey @Crusader3456 @yosp The problem is people like you dont realize the size and success of PlayStation.... as a company, SIE dwarfs companies like Activision (8 billion in revenue) EA (5 billion revenue) and Nintendo (13-14 billion revenue) PS makes about 25 Billion in revenue a year.

@Jewario2 @NintendoAmerica I have over 900 hours on smash and I've been disconnected suddenly maybe One time. And then stuff like my own personal Internet just being bad. If you're having issues it's more than likely an Internet problem than anything else .

Is there a discord or reddit community that is all about RiiConnect 24 service? I have to get some help fixing my broken RiiConnect 24 and get it fixed soon - I know Nintendo sends you a message about new contests in the Check me out channel that I'm not getting....

Master duel has been horrendous on my switch all day. @Konami @MasterDuelSite Get your Nintendo Switch platform better! It's so slow and has so many connections issues! You want me to put money into it? Improve your product/platform.

@AnimatorBruce I'm just glad publishers acnowledges it and continue releasing PS4 games. That said PC gaming really solves the cross platform issue. Like how a console exclusivity with Nintendo doesn't mean they can't release it on Steam.

@Roblox_RTC This has been happening for a while. People don’t acknowledge that developers of old Pokémon games have moved onto to new, original ones. Not only is this just disrespectful to the original devs, but it’s also getting Roblox in some real trouble if Nintendo sees this.

@GivenNameEric @noahthewalrus21 @Stealth40k In 20 or 30 years, most switches will be broken. They won’t be doing repairs for them anymore, and you won’t be able to play your games on cartridges. Also, as long as nintendo exists (they are literally the most iconic game producers ever) so will nintendo accounts.

Yee, gonna have to send my Switch back to Nintendo for repairs due to part of the motherboard where the SD card goes in is still damaged & causing the problem because I can't find any other issues to fix other finding the fact that the SD card slot in the motherboard is damaged🙃

@NintendoAmerica Seriously, you need to get the rights to add games from Capcom, Konami & Square to the service and also fire whoever's in charge of adding games to it!

@Jwedag1 @supercena69 @MatttGFX Their 'rights' are often wrongs. Emulation of older games isn't pirating when the company itself is no longer making BOTH the game and the console it's running on. If they did, I'd have no problem forking money over. But that's the issue. Most except Nintendo, don't even care.

@megaloles @NintendoAmerica Yes but I'm saying these specific bugs are NEW. Kirby on Project64 has texture problems, but it doesn't soft-lock if you're hit in the underwater level. Paper Mario on Delta chugs, but it doesn't wipe your data if Watt sees you die. It's so absurd that it's becoming its own fun.

@Oculin There's nothing anecdotal about the outrage caused by Nintendo flinging PAL copies at people via their virtual console service. The majority of gamers do notice refresh rate problems and are super bothered by it. The human brain isn't designed for weird PAL frame pacing.

@keltatsuya @Genki_JPN I don’t know if Sony is stalling the Switch version of the game. The hardware can run it barely, but Nintendo’s network is the weakest out of all platforms. Live service games on Switch sound like a headache to manage. The nextgen Switch would be better for Genshin.
