@NintendoAmerica @Wario64 Who are these additions for? I get it's not easy or cheap to get higher profile titles added to the service, but this drip feed of D-tier games doesn't benefit anybody, either.

@Paper_Peterson Yeah i agree to this too. also uhm, nintendo’s communication infrastructure is ****. i can’t believe they said yes to this game without having laid out good audible communication first. nintendo has to fix that. nobody wants to have to use separate apps on their phones to talk

@66Sith_ Kikis it’s not their game, they’re just publishers. We’re talking about The Pokémon Company and Tencent. Of course I see a problem with P2W, I don’t play those games. But so many people pay!!! My point is that blaming Nintendo for a game they didn’t develop doesn’t make sense.

@NintendoAmerica at this point just charge us for a better online service that has messaging and voice chat. add a classic system store to the NES and SNES online where users can buy games they actually want for a couple dollars and just feature a few for free occasionally through the service.

@KRoolKountry I don't think people would get angry if the service was free and not advertised as a "great cool bonus" for paying for an already crappy online, the prise doesn't matter, if they cared about their costumers they would try to deliver more than the bare minimum. But that's Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo's subscription service is terrible. Who plays those games these days? Stop being silly. Nintendo

@NintendoAmerica just drop the service and give us Virtual Console Back... OR... give us 20-30 games free to play on NSO every month with a 10% discount as an incentive to buy them through Virtual Console.

@NintendoAmerica Remember when y'all had Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16 and even Commodore 64 titles on the Wii VC? Look at that and then look at this. Night and day difference. It's also sad that you sent C&D letters to ROM sites when you won't make most of your old games available on the service.

@KoopaTroopa4494 @NintendoAmerica Tbf these “random” snes and nes games could be cool and only looking forward for earthbound kinda devalues the subscription service as a whole. U never know what u could get it could be good or not

@Gold_Poptart @NintendoAmerica NSO is a pay wall to play online and a "you get what you pay for" service that has no value.

@splatapussy @KoopaTroopa4494 @NintendoAmerica Japan has three SMT games on the service. just download the Japanese app if you want them. (though the games aren't in English and wouldnt be either way)

@TheMaractusMan @alexABXY @NintendoAmerica But that attention isn't good attention. People might play them for a second, then never again, then probably question why they paid for the service.

@NintendoAmerica It's also sad that you sent C&D letters to ROM sites when you won't make most of your old games available on the service. FFS, do you know how much used GameCube games cost on eBay?

@MrBareBones @SnakeEetr I was able to emulate Re4 on dolphin years ago without lagging I think its more Nintendo AND capcoms problem.

@SparkDreamers @NintendoAmerica They’ve stated the new switch works with the old dock and old switch with the new dock. Problem is I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere that the new dock is sold separately.

@NintendoAmerica The online service for a Switch is only worth it to play online with friends & if we had free online & these SNES / NES things were locked behind the paid side many probably wouldn't buy it. It's easier to just get a emulator & Roms.

@centrixow @NintendoAmerica I wouldn't Stream Earthbound until Nintendo sues Sony for the Music Rights to the Mother Series. Due to Copyright issues.

(@AllieRX) reported
@NintendoAmerica I will gladly accept a price increase to the service if it means getting more of your retro catalog on there. If $20/year is what's capping it from going beyond the SNES, then PLEASE raise the price. This is embarrassing. The Virtual Console on the Wii/3DS/Wii U had so much more

@KoopaTroopa4494 @NintendoAmerica The internet buried itself on ever getting Earthbound on the NSO. Nintendo now knows there is a huge demand for it now and now going a way to monitize it as much as possible outside of the service.
