@HeyItsScrappy @NintendoAmerica Its absolute blasphemy they didn't add two of the earthbound games to the service at all

@NintendoAmerica I mean I don't pay for the service for a reason but still. Has anybody here actually heard of any of these games?

(@GARPFloyd) reported
@NintendoAmerica Okay, I really understand the problem with putting up Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger, since they are both games published by Square Enix. However, @NintendoAmerica have no excuse for the lack of Earthbound on the SNES service.

I think it does have to be said though that with folks like CC and Edia willing to play ball Nintendo could still do monthly updates with no issues. There's still no reason for NSO updates to be QUARTERLY, with the next one unlikely until May at this point unless a direct hits

Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo
(@AboutNintendo) reported
@Archtorial @RoseFromTheAshs @NintendoAmerica There's probably something else out there we're not thinking of but those are good examples of why Nintendo might be hesitant about/can't put EarthBound on the online service.

thinking about how in the gigaleak, only 5 of 41 nintendo EAD workstations had their data archived and the rest had I/O or tape read errors (some were probably blank but hey)

@NintendoAmerica What a garbage bro, worst online service, **** this ****

@LonelyBob None of these looked very impressive. But there are lots of great SNES games left. We just need Nintendo to be willing to pay publishers to put them on the service.

@SirHattington1 @Mario2900_ @NintendoAmerica Not completely, it wasn't global because of the voice acting But honestly that's more of an Atlus problem than a Nintendo one

i remember that rumor saying nintendo’s doing a revamp on the online service. please let it happen soon

@horokeu90 @evoce90 @Nintendo I personally wouldn't use CFW online though; Nintendo can ban your account for breaking the terms of service for modifying your console. I support CFW/modding; but I would personally keep any modded system offline to avoid being detected & ban.

@AidenRS139 @NintendoAmerica That game may legit have licensing issues with Square, but dunno

Not sure who over at @NintendoAmerica is making the decisions on the Nintendo Switch Online selection, but we could do with some bangers. There's not a single Mega Man, Contra, Super Mario RPG game on the service. Please!

@Wario64 I really don’t understand why we had to lose our classic Nintendo/other game purchases on the other eshops just so we could have this garbage service.

Crash ports and nso updates today... here's hoping nintendo has more announcements soon. Literally the only first party game that has a launch date comes in three days, and it's a port

Definitely Not Lord Pyro
(@NotLordPyromon) reported
@NintendoAmerica You know what would be cool? N64 games. Give me N64 games with online functionality. If you guys are going to continue to crack down on emulation and piracy then you’re going to have to provide a better service than the pirates, which you absolutely do not.

@satchmosax @Sasori_113 @Kotaku All three had issue yes but in terms of scale Nintendo has had it the worse and Dualsense isn't far behind.

@mariosonic500 what a thoughtful statement, twitter user mariosonic500, but can you please just spare us both the trouble and block me already because im not about to ******* argue on why my tweet was relevant to a nintendo fan.

if i were nintendo and i had an online subscription service and a massive library of amazing games spanning decades, i would simply release the ones that were interesting and that people wanted to actually play

@NintendoAmerica No thanks. The Crash 4 announcement is already enough for me.

(@tdome85) reported
@RGT_85 What filler. I doubt nintendo will get most of the big games that made the SNES so great. FF, Mega Man X, Chrono trigger won't come to this service cause the the companies that made them want to just sell them themselves.

@NintendoAmerica I'm very disappointed in this service - noticeably fewer games and platforms represented than on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. Where are the RPGs? Where is the GBA, DS, or N64? Not worth the yearly fee, and I say this as a fan of the studio's games more generally.

@caiokendx @Scruffy_Man @NintendoAmerica You can be financially successful and still misread the room constantly. You’re always there acting as if financial success is everything, but it’s not and tbh you’re a little biased. Just. Stop. The issue is that the general consumer doesn’t know much. Not what they want.

@NintendoAmerica These are some obscure games, Nintendo, if you want this service to work you should get some of the others a good add. Where's DKC3 at least?

it's not like Banjo where nintendo didn't have the rights, Assault was made after the split so it's definitely not the issue

@df2506 Yup, me neither. Maybe they'll be good? But I can't help but think Nintendo is scraping the bottom of the barrel with these. I know there are better games not yet on the service...

@NintendoAmerica I'm very disappointed in this service - noticeable fewer games and platforms represented than on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. Not worth the yearly fee. I don't understand why Nintendo is moving backwards in digital offerings, and I say this as a fan of the company's hardware.

@NintendoAmerica For all that is holy and not just add Game Boy+Game Boy Color games already. The online service is in desperate need of a new addition of games
