  Ifrit the Mog BLM (@Ifrit101) reported 25 seconds ago

  @Metathebraixen @Valhallakingdom @NintendoAmerica It took a few years, but they also got it on Wii U. I thinking there’s some issue with Square of America because the Wii U had Final Fantasy on VC in Japan, but not the US.

  @hallowpeak Was the switch joycons easy to fix? I almost ordered a repair kit yesterday but the reviews scared me. I’m about to just send it to Nintendo.

  @NintendoAmerica but the game is only a limited time, that just means you could pirate/emulate after 4/01/2021. Limited releases do not work for games otherwise people will pirate more because of trust issues

  @Kotaku So basically it's a universal controller issue this gen because Xbox get it too and Switch.. Well, there was talk of a class action against Nintendo

  @NintendoAmerica This service is ****.

  @tek_sauce @YunalesckaGames @NintendoAmerica Also it recently released on steam within the past few years. I think it’s more Square probably wants a good chunk of change to put it on a service instead of selling it for money.

  @stillgray I like to play Nintendo for 20 minuets a year cause I m an adult and only developed an alcohol and drug problem not a video game addiction

  @NintendoAmerica God the replies here are so toxic. If you don't care about the games on here, that's really your problem now isn't it?

• 
  t-dome (@tdome85) reported 20 minutes ago

  @p00b07 @NintendoAmerica The sad thing is I doubt they ever get some of the best games for the SNES like Mega Man X or Chrono trigger cause the companies that made them would rather sell them then lend them to Nintendo. This service should just be all Nintendo games and leave it at that.

  @gamer_tower I do have rights because it’s a good console. Not my problem you suck nintendo’s **** all the time and too scared to try something else.

  This morning, I smashed a guitar and then @thedavidcrosby texted my dad and now I’m in trouble and I can’t play Nintendo

  Esteban Roman (@ERoman97) reported 25 minutes ago

  @SuperBentendo the more uninteresting additions so far, I think it´s time for Nintendo to add games with an "extra dimension" to the service.

• 
  Prismatic Punk, Maya (@helix_wright) reported 27 minutes ago

  "You can just play Earthbound on Wii U" is such a lame take. A ton of people didn't get one and people shouldn't have to shell out money to buy a failed console second hand just so they can buy a 25 year old game when Nintendo could just upload the rom to their streaming service.

  @NintendoAmerica Exactly what I wanted. The oldest shovelware known to still exist after the gaming crash of 83

  TheShibaMaster (@Doge32865824) reported 33 minutes ago

  @takuguy @NintendoAmerica Shin Megami Tensei II and Bahamut Lagoon are getting released on this service in Japan. You can play those and get an English script. I’m sure it exists somewhere. (Note: don’t mind my old tweet because I mixed up Bahamut Lagoon and Psycho Dream)

  @ToysForBob Please release a physical copy of crash bandicoot 4 it's about time on nintendo switch

• 
  Jairo Rojas (@takuguy) reported 35 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica Oh I am very aware of those 2 titles being released on the Japanese switch online service. Just wish Nintendo would remember that they are sitting on a huge library of really good games. I mean I can't remember when I was excited for anything on swtich online. Atleast give us ff6

  @evamlynarski @Danotage @TheMavShow It has been dead for at least 3 years you can now post Nintendo content with no issues

  @AbsorberYT Hey Absorber. I'm 20 y/o and I love to trickshot on the Nintendo Switch. No many people make content off that so it would be a great opportunity to stick out in the community. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue here, but my PC is in pretty bad shape 1/2

  @NintendoAmerica I'm so happy I stopped subscribing to this sad excuse of an online service. Nintendo is completely oblivious to what their fans want.

  @NintendoAmerica The biggest problem I have with NSO is how infrequent new games are added. So underwhelming.

• 
  Um... (@Um50832045) reported 43 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot I told myself i would beat all 3 on n sane before 4 came out on switch... I'M NOT EVEN OFF OF WUMPA ISLANDS IN CRASH 1.

• 
  Just Fek'lhrin Wit U (@lelandradburn) reported 43 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica I think Hudson leftovers are owned by Konami so there's no way we're getting that. I'm not going to scream and shout "earthbound! mario rpg!" but it has got to the point where every title coming to the service is a one time play.

  nintendo adding every snes game to their shitty online service besides the ones people actually ask for

• 
  Catte @Blaire Train CHOOCHOO (@pakapan_exe) reported 51 minutes ago

  @MimiBunny6 There's like no information of MLS anywhere outside of the official website (now inaccessible due to flash's death), and an issue of nintendo dream and famitsu respectively. I had no idea this existed, so I bought it right away!

• 
  Evie B. (@eviebeeleaf) reported 55 minutes ago

  @RyanRibbity I think the issue is that Nintendo doesn't solely own the copyright, which means it costs them more/they want it to make more.

  @NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot wait didnt this game have occasional performance issues on ps4?
