@doug_gunther There were a lot of videos back from 2017 where people said that Nintendo should move on to a subscription-based service. I am not scrolling through years worth of videos.

@zmeister100 I've never heard them say the Virtual Console should go away, but they definitely wanted that online subscription service so it would look like Nintendo was keeping up with their competition.

@themightyzita @mickey_smash @NintendoAmerica That's fair. Honestly, I feel that this wouldn't be as big an issue if Nintendo provided ways to play older games that don't require a paid online subscription (like bringing back the Virtual Console instead of keeping the retro games exclusive to Switch Online).

@slubber_nl @SuperMarioT_YT The only other major complaint I remember was games having that ugly *** filter over them that made everything dark, which isn't even an issue with the "Virtual Console" as an entity, it's just a dumb thing Nintendo did.

@demenciafan2k3 The thing is, the SNES emulator actually supports the mouse. Nintendo and Toshio Iwai has the rights to the game, I don't think there would be problems to release it now.

@Blt9983 @Utyranto @GameHistoryOrg No I agree - I was just explaining why I think Nintendo doesn’t see it as an issue, even though it definitely is.

Now that I can actually look at the console for what it is, I honestly think it was a great concept but poorly executed. The switch fixed every aspect of the wii u’s original issues but it doesn’t feel like a nintendo console. It’s just a console with the nintendo brand on it

@ThatGuyJoeUK @TopHatGamingMan This is massive issue and it nearly rendered 2 of my joy-cons useless. I had to buy a kit online and fix the pads myself. Not had a single issue since. If it’s so simple I could do it in a few minutes then why aren’t Nintendo getting on to their manufactures?

@LiteralBreads under communism every Nintendo switch would be an engineering class's final project and they'd have to fix the joycon drift

@tstorm004 @kelslewin You are not wrong, sir. IDK, I guess I just have a problem with people believing that a business should openly allow government regulation over their private property. If Nintendo believes there is potential revenue then that's their right, it's their platform.

Had a thought on the estore being closed in particular Pokemon X/Y, In years from now someone buys physical game having not played it before. Are they gunna get stuck in Lumiose City saving if they can't get the patch DL to fix it? @AustinJohnPlays #Nintendo3DS #Nintendo #Pokemon

@YaBoiJeBus I wouldn't ***** about the entire Nintendo situation if, like the Wii and Wii U, the Switch could emulate pretty much every of their past game, but no they locked that to a limited online service

@NintendoAmerica you expect me to buy your ******* service and a shittier assier expansion to said service just to buy a game you ALREADY made me buy twice, once as an hd remake, now you expect us to buy a bundle just to buy a worse demake on a ******* console? i think ill buy the 3ds version

@UltimaShadowX I don't think Supply/Demand (ie what you pay for what you get) is the issue with people pirating Nintendo games. They're simply small & less graphical games so it can run easily on most computers, plus they're cartridge based so ripping the Rom is really easy to redistribute.

And I'll still reverse the problem: Nintendo please put freaking GC and Wii games on your Switch already

@CanItBe777 @zmeister100 I remember when tons of people were insisting that Nintendo do an online subscription service to keep up with other companies like Sony and XBOX, along with other features like achievements, themes, a Switch "Pro"; things like that.

So could Nintendo fix the absurdly large amount of hardware faults that have been unfixed since the switch debut if they are not doing to keep the game stores up? Oh they won’t do either? Well okay then...

@layyynes @Raja_Dito @pumpkinlich This. It’s a Nintendo problem they could have solved. Instead people bickering in the tweets about money and fake hurt feelings. Capitalism is working y’all.

Nintendo can do what they want with their E-Shop but, shutting down the service will only encourage people to jailbreak/mod their 3DS. These game companies need to start making all these digital games compatible with future consoles. The PS5 and Xbox luckily started doing that.

@zmeister100 Ngl; as a Nintendo fan, this is something I see all too well. I remember the online subscription service outcry, stopping 3DS support, and a bunch of other stuff. I sympathize and berate them simultaneously, since most of em wound up unsatisfied with what they've been crying for.

@IGN Thousands of games under their belt that could be put on their subscription service and they drip feed one every 6 months. God I ******* hate Nintendo's business practices. I wish some of their most talented devs leave and start a company that truly rivals their asses
