@Gamechamp3k 99.9% is a stretch. I can see the argument for Pokémon Gen 1 or Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but that's only because they took longer to localise and thus they were able to fix some of the bugs that they missed.

@FalKoopa_ Considering how Project 64 still will have issues with emulation... I honestly can't hold it against Nintendo with how emulation can be sometimes. They nailed it for some titles, but I'd assume it's a bit of a task to tackle.

@BlazeFyre @auditties If you pay for the Expansion pack upgrade for NSO, Nintendo's online service, you get it as part of that service. The pack comes with N64 and Genesis games.

@Rad__knight @teriyxki @ShahilAyato Crash 4 smash activist sounds like a nintendo fan advocating for crash bandicoot to be added to smash could be wrong but thats where i got the impression from

@stardewchicken Probably just a new 2.0 glitch that Nintendo hasn't patched yet.

@papayathe2nd @Vet_infin Terrible lighting issues, Nintendo switch version had a seizure inducing launch, save data randomly deleted it self for no reason on other platforms, and overall a bad port Sega somehow approved.

@PikminBloom I can't sign in and I can't figure out how to contact you for further assistance. I've tried using my Nintendo and multiple Gmail accounts and still can't play. Please help.

@Bixby201 @aarongreenberg @steinekin And yet the Nintendo Switch and in some cases PlayStation had no problem with the games. I don’t give a **** what you don’t want, nobody’s forcing you to buy the games regardless. Wanting to keep people from playing games that they bought or want to buy is nothing to celebrate.

@REALMadMax1960 It feels a bit choppy on handheld too. Tho it’s not hard to blame Nintendo when a lot of their games share the same issues.

@KangGaming My kid loves it so much I had to buy a second cartridge for my second switch because she wouldn't share. Then we had to upgrade to a family plan so both of us can play at the same time even though that hasn't worked out please Nintendo fix it other than that we love it too much

@RyGoesPOP @PushDustIn @didyouknowgamin Buddy there’s a better chance of you walking up tomorrow to find the sun is never going to rise again then for Nintendo to think of the west as deserving of anything more than token fighters and scraps of fan service
