  @NintendoUK Make n64 and genesis part of the base online subscription and FIX ONLINE for a single slightly higher price. NSO+expansion makes no sense

  @Kazoorion @Crimson_Mayhem_ That's exactly the problem. If Nintendo does release their virtual console titles into PC, then they'll have the power to DMCA or sue unofficial emulations since their official software is available to purchase.

  @NintendoUK You can still have a service where we can try them out; but unless we can buy them as well; no one will keep playing these games past the novelty of trying them out and if they do like them; they will want to keep them for their collection.

  If Nintendo is going to continue the Joycon gimmick they seriously need to give them better plugs next time. I have so many issues getting one of mine to register as attached to the Switch.

  @NintendoUK Unless these games are being released for actual sale and you ensure they will be permanently tied to my eshop account as well as foward compatible every next generation Nintendo Switches; I will continue to avoid this service. We want to collect these games not rent them.

  And that's resulted in an serious injury for my Nintendo DS Lite Red+Black color as the damages are the hinges are broken and the top screen. Well, it's affected by the strong impact as that's really have killed my Nintendo DS Lite though.

  @_MissClick_ Some people are stupid. Of course you would speak up about that if it would come out. But as far as we know Nintendo treats their workers relatively well. e.g the AC delay to avoid crunchtime. And you can´t really speak up about potential issues that no one even alledges exist.

  I decided to cancel my Final Fantasy XIV subscription as well due to all the server queue issues that prevent me from playing the game at all. I will be perfectly happy gaming on my Nintendo Switch and Xbox 360 instead.

  @Akira092421 Xbox issues because ps and Nintendo carts can be played without this stuff 9/10 unless it's forced

  @lemwashere the problem with this logic is that nintendo will always have fans that are out of the loop on this kind of practice and will buy the games anyway PLUS they have a huge band of loyalists who will buy it because they think nintendo can do no wrong anyway

  @DartboardWolf He's probably that guy from the IGN forums in the early 2010s who once asked when Nintendo games are going to be released on Steam. Another "Graphics and Hardware Are Everything" troglodyte trying to stir up trouble, and knows nothing about the current gaming market.

  Oh yeah, Nintendo thumb, anyone? I still think that may be the cause of the issues with the pain in the bottom knuckle of my right thumb...

  Due to technical issues, the 2021 Mixtape Pack Nintendo Switch release will be delayed. We're currently aiming for the end of the month and will update you closer to the release date.

  @NintendoAmerica You make this, rather than reduce the price of the switch or fix joycons?

  @BestBuy @BestBuy ya are horrible. I drove a good distance to pick up the Nintendo Switch OLED that your website for the Mesquite Tx area says in store pick up only and they never had any available. Somebody needs to fix this. I waisted my time for nothing. 😡

  @MikeTheSpike24 @UberNick_ You could play the game's story with all it's content and play the multiplayer on the same console with 0 issues. it was finished. it had bugs and glitches sure and nintendo just go into online stuff. Halo infinite doesn't have 90% of the content other halos have.

  i love @Nintendo, all of my life. but the way they're rolling out their #ExpansionPass, is completely broken. even tho i subscribed and bought the #N64 #Switch controller, i wouldn't recommend to others at this time. the value just isn't there,,

  @TheRealGoomi Seeing as to how Microsoft bought Rare to acquire Banjo from Nintendo back in the day, and then went on to ruin both of them horribly. I think Crash's home will always be for PlayStation, because I wouldn't want to see him suffer the same fate as Banjo being on Xbox.

  If a Sony gamepass like service does indeed launch and is as good as what Xbox offers or close… I likely won’t buy games anymore. And I mean this as a good thing. Certainly third party, and series special to me (Final Fantasy) I will still buy, but that’s it. Nintendo as well.
