Hey Nintendo: I'm not buying another subscription to your god-awful online service just to play 10 N64 games that I can download for free. God, I hate this company.

@Jiikae At this point I'm not even sure how much I care. It's their money, I don't even know those people. They can do whatever they want I guess. Nintendo is the kind of company that wouldn't see a service failure as a "message", they'd probably just stop selling the games altogether.

@NintendoAmerica PSA: if you are using gmail, you most likely wont receive it due to google's spam blocking technology for some reason. Some say yahoo have the same issues. Please use other email services like outlook instead.

@alt_octo it won't be available at launch, but it was revealed as an upcoming title to the service however the n64 and genesis apps will be a part of the nintendo switch online + expansion pack subscription option, and there's also replica n64 and genesis controllers if you want them

@GSProductions4 @CourierSix61 @NintendoAmerica Are we talking about when it first released or now because you said it's still broken now

So now we know why #Nintendo has been withholding retro games. They plan to start a subscription service. Done waiting. The eye patch is going on

@rchammer5 It's a specific controller made for a paid service on top of a paid service, so I can understand some complaints, but the controller is clearly an optional item for hardcore fans. I love Nintendo but it's rare to see the fanbase with a moderate opinion, good or bad.

@fennellpng @The_Retro_Spec @pettycommajared They don't, Sony only started charing for the PS4, Nintendo didn't charge for the Social Media service, and PC still doesn't pay anything. Nintendo's isn't using that money for the online service because it would've stoped sucking by now.

@Jiikae My only hope is it does force those of us who care less about those additional services to upgrade and do away with the cheaper tier. After all Nintendo’s online service isn’t offering nearly as much as it’s competitors. No native voice chat, message function, or monthly games.

@jizzle3030 @coolhandskywal1 @dupree082010 No, they were trying to corner the market with that lock out chip. Trying to ensure that devs creations were under their license & that they controlled how many games were produced & where they were sold. That’s a monopoly & I’m glad it was broken up. Nintendo aren’t heroes.

@NintendoUK Honestly I don't have any major wants other than Eggman or Crash. I just want the smash community to be quiet and not toxic for once after the DLC is done

@jizzle3030 @coolhandskywal1 @dupree082010 Not true, that has been proven false in a court of law. The crash had to do with the hardware not being able to produce the graphics in arcades. Once Nintendo produced better hardware, software sold. Same as today, there’s way more software being produced today & not selling 1/2

(@DevonDude_) reported
The games they announced were dope, but everything about Nintendo Online is a scam lmao. **** service, not even a quarter of the games from Virtual Console. If they had a wider variety of N64/Genesis games, I could understand, but them shits are available in multiple ways.

@atumbem @coolhandskywal1 @dupree082010 No...the crash of 84 had almost entirely to do with companies flooding the market with bad games that had no quality control, hence why Nintendo started the "seal of approval" deal...they actually took a huge risk in trying to release the NES in America

Wait, I have to pay a extra for Nintendo Online, a service that offers very little despite a low annual price, just to play N64 and Genesis games? How about you go **** yourselves on that? You've released these time and time again. In what reality can you justify this?
-

(@DanielMcArdle3) reported
@VinderTomat @NathanielBandy1 We are paying extra because its games not fully owned by Nintendo coming to the service. Mega Drive is fully owned by Sega, N64 will include games owned by Microsoft now. License rights cost money for legal distribution of games.

(@rchammer5) reported
Lmao I sometimes don’t understand the hate for Nintendo. Like, I get that not being able to buy the retro and instead be tied to a service is annoying but… they’re a company! Some folks getting mad that they’re selling a $50 n64 controller, I don’t get it.

@DynamoSuperX genesis games were also on wii virtual console. there was even going to be replica controllers for each of the original consoles on the wii virtual console service. an nintendo employee showed off a pulp fiction-styled suitcase in private, which had those replicas.

@Spectpooheagles @wyverian_MH Nintendo is a meat head too tho. They would never due to them wanting to make sure that their online service stays CLEAN for others. Mixing in the PC crowd would be a **** fest lmao Also, if they EVER put crossplay in MH.. IT SHOULD START IN #MHWorld.
