@SuperNerdDerek @nintendolife Agreed. I've actually seen people complain about it and still paid for it anyway. How do they expect nintendo to make the service better if they keep giving them money. Which is why i didn't upgrade.

@aspexParsec @nintendolife I know this but fan made emulators work better that's where the issue is, if someone who does not have access to the time, money and resources nintendo has can make an emulator that is 10x better than nintendos then there is an issue

Di maiwasan ung konting lag and its so awkward playing a game like this on my phone. It really needs a controller. Release the game on Nintendo Switch please 😭🙏 I'm gonna let it sit on my phone for a few more days or weeks lol. I still have FF12 to finish.

@chrishanson1994 @Ninfriendo_1973 ****, Nintendo fanboys can be so ******* annoying. I just tried to say that the service isn't good for it's price. Honestly, having lag issues when playing online with friends in N64 games and a bad emulator service in the technical meanings is ridiculous.

@GAMEdigital my @Nintendo Switch Lite joystick breaks after 14 months and I’m told it’s out of warranty. Another company above the law. Items should be of durable quality. Who has got one of these where the joystick hasn’t broken?

(@context_scourge) reported
@DoABarrelRoll77 @HylianHero83 @nintendolife It’s a bad emulation. Ocarina of time has horrible input lag and stuff like fog is done incorrectly. It’s like Nintendo chose the first emulator they found on google

@nintendolife If Nintendo still isn't responding to our cries of this service being a mess, then clearly the "We're listening, too" part of their twitter bio is a lie.

@Hotgirlvideos69 @bunger_facts @NintendoAmerica Did you just say they are constantly selling out.... of a digital service...?? what?? You're just making **** up at this point aren't you.

@AndrewSannn @chrishanson1994 @Ninfriendo_1973 Lag when playing online isn’t the fault of the emulator really, just Nintendo’s ****** P2P system. Online works really well when you’re in the same city/country as the people you’re playing with.

Here's how I feel about the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass: TO ME, the concept is worth the extra money. It seems 100% worth it to play a library of N64 games online. However, I'm not paying for it until they fix the emulation and add more games. It's not worth it yet.

@Sadeness0 @NintyPrime And yet Nintendo refuses to do the things fans want. Fix issues, and or actually focus on power. When some emulators are running far more stable than actual HW it should be shut down right? I mean Nintendo can do what it feels it needs to. But Nintendo then can't beg for people

@m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife I disliked the video and have owned every console since GameCube, which I started playing when I was 5. I don't want Nintendo to die, I just want them to more reasonably price the service they provide.

@aspexParsec @nintendolife That's exactly why people are disliking it, overpriced DLC to a Subscription Service that mostly adds Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games

@Hotgirlvideos69 @bunger_facts @NintendoAmerica So they can save a buck lol not going happen. Even if the emulator has issues, it’s not broken. Most people will actually complete multiple N64 games compared to the NES/SNES library.

I've had a craving to play Ocarina of Time all year. And it ***** me off that Nintendo absolutely ****** it. I can't justify giving them money till their service is fixed, if that ever happens. I'm now researching the best way to play an actual N64 on a modern TV.

It’s still so cool how I sent our switch joycons to Nintendo of America to get the joycon drift fixed and then they did nothing and sent them back broken.

(@Jameron4evaSean) reported
@Sadeness0 @NintyPrime to come back, yet again, when what they do causes people to leave. And Nintendo's response has been a buggy emulator on a online service that needs a lot of work, which Nintendo hasn't done thus far. Nintendo didn't change from the days breaking developers arms, to a gimmick

@chrishanson1994 @Ninfriendo_1973 More than that, you just need to see the same emulated games in Wii and Wii U, is a shame to see a company as Nintendo putting a bad emulation service nowadays. But, if you guys want to suck Nintendo's ****, go there. ****, I just want to have a good service when paying so much.

How come nobody ever saw a problem with Nintendo releasing multiple versions of the exact same games at the same time like Nintendogs and Pokemon? That's some EA **** right there.

@prettypinkviper its in a spetrum if its games that you can't possibly play then yea go ahead. but if its games that you can buy thats where i think its an issue. i also feel there are companies that deserve it way more then nintendo does. like im not seeing anyone pirate activison yet

@nintendolife Why there's so many people defending the **** switch online service, I understand it's there money and they do whatever they want with it, but common if we don't ask for quality we are going to keep receiving the same **** and we know Nintendo can be better.

@Lousan291 @Rocket_Pan_ That was Nintendo TVii, which *** more of a service than anything built-in. It let you look where a show or movie is broadcasted, reviews and so on

@JfXAeris Much better than mine atleast plus Nintendo can't take down mother projects due to its legal ownership issues.

dr mario world being unpreserved now and it being realistically too late to do anything about it is telling of a bit of a problem tbh we knew this was coming bc it's nintendo yet bc it's a lesser game no one actually did the work to preserve it until it becomes a trend to outrage

@m_rizky_gumilar @nintendolife This service is overpriced ****, deal with it fanboy. Nintendo drone would buy anything as long as it has a Nintendo logo on it.

@FPSthetics People did see problems. But it doesn't matter if other people still buy it anyway. Nintendo gets money either way. The same or different issues with other games as well. Look at any sports game. Same game, different name. Fifa, madden, nba. People go crazy with buying these.
