@Crunchyroll @videogamedeals @NintendoAmerica Will it crash and infinite loop like the Xbox one app?

@statesminds @PlayerEssence @NintendoAmerica I say this because if they had pulled plug sooner they could have focused on other online aspects on the switch NSO for example, multiplayer fix’s that people have been crying out for.

The problem with Nintendo shutting down the Wii U and 3DS eShop is not that they're doing it – it doesn't make any business sense to support the old consoles – it's that they have no plans to make those games available elsewhere.

Found my torches in case of power outage. If power does go out don’t open your fridges or freezers, it keeps them colder for longer. Nintendo switch charging just in case. We have a red weather warning where I am so er…wish me luck x

@darthyoshiboy @andyperfect1 Don't we already have a replacement for this service with the Nintendo Online. Aren't there more retro games on that than there ever was on Virtual Console? Maybe they wanted to change their service model to a more Netflix styled service

@NintendoAmerica @Crunchyroll Well then make a Xenoblade anime series exclusive to the service

@PsiSquatch Some games that aren't on the Nintendo Online service were on Virtual Console, but the reverse is true too. We have a ton of games that weren't on the Virtual Console on the Nintendo Online service. And aside from licensing, I don't see why they won't be added

@darthyoshiboy @andyperfect1 First complaint regarding these that I've heard. I get the concept of game preservation, but I feel like those voices are being silenced by the loud complaints of Virtual Console complaints. But expecting Nintendo to keep this service that's rarely used isn't fair either.

@TheUncleAlShow My issue with this isn't as much about purchasing anymore. It's that one day, things I ALREADY PAID FOR can't be redownloaded. Because Nintendo decided 32GB for the WiiU was a good choice. And expanding storage was unnecessary hassle.

@Backgroundguy02 @PsiSquatch I don't think they're saying they won't be re-released on NSO, i think they're more talking about how nintendo's tactic of re-releasing these games has become increasingly shittier as time goes on. Whether through compatibility issues or general lack of care when porting them.

@Aaronatorr444 @Wario64 @NintendoAmerica Well, I hope you have better luck than me on this one. Called customer service, they can’t find anything in order history, said “when you add stuff to card you get preauthorized on your card” most useless incorrect response to the issue.

Got a new pair of Joycons. Now I can mail my old ones to get repaired without worrying if I'll need them while they're gone. Still annoyed Nintendo just doesn't fix Joycon drift. they have the money, I know they an find a solution. they're just too lazy to do that.

@LuintaAke @baph_xyz @didyouknowgamin so that they could find a way to charge people for online play for no reason. The VC could coexists with a NSO like service that was more like (the PC version of) Game Pass, but Nintendo wouldn't make as much money that way

@Crunchyroll @NintendoAmerica can we have VRV on switch? I still used it because I was tire of getting messages having both crunchyroll and vrv whenever I login to watch stuff so I chose to close my crunchyroll account for that

@Mesacboy @mariokarttourEN Well, that's their problem. The Nintendo account says "We're listening" so I'm not going to hold back my comments on these accounts in the hope that they get seen. A .00001% chance is still worth posting rather than not, which is a flat zero.

@HaywireHornet91 @NintendoFanGirl You're an absolute ******* clown and people like you have no problem jerking off to nostalgia or legacy content when a company tells you to do so whether that be through a port, a remaster, a remake or a sequel. Old content matters, not just when it's convenient for Nintendo.

For every new scandal Nintendo apologists will be like “they’re a business, they can do whatever they want” Like…yeah? No one says they can’t? That’s the issue. They’re rich enough to do whatever they want and yet they still choose anti-consumer, ****** business practices.

@Crunchyroll @NintendoAmerica It's nice. If it didn't crash when you scroll down the menu...

@naigally MMZZXLC is on the Switch and uses this control scheme. There is nothing stopping Nintendo from using a similar setup for selling DS games on Switch. It doesn't work for every single possible DS game, but it addresses the issue for most of them. As others said, Joycons also work.

@RoscoChubz Nintendo might support switch games for the “Switch 2”, not after that. They show no interest in preserving customer purchases. they rather just sell you a yearly subscription service. Maybe we can play 4 GameCube games for $100 a year on the “Switch 2”. Lol

@DRKLCNS @forestillusion I don’t pirate indie games, but for huge *** corporations like Nintendo, pirate no problem. We’re all going ******* die and rot in the ground so what’s the point of worrying about a billion dollar corp not getting an extra $60

@Aaronatorr444 @Wario64 @NintendoAmerica Stated that yes the order did go through, the website glitched during processing, charged me, never received an order confirmation in email. Then was told, “oh it’s just a preauthorization, call your bank” Nintendo customer service is literally the worst

@andyperfect1 I guess you haven't seen the massive amount of Nintendo hate for them shutting down an obsolete service that no one uses anymore. I understand game preservation, sure - but that's rarely the source of their complaints.

@didyouknowgamin This ignores the real issue. No one expects Nintendo to keep a legacy storefront up forever. they expect Nintendo to create or port over modern ways to play classic games so that when the storefronts do need to shut down, we aren’t locked out of playing it forever.
