@a40oz4Breakfast Problem would be solved if they gave us virtual console, because I already own it phsycially and digitally. But then SNES games wouldn't be much of a feature and Nintendo online loses value since some people won't need it to play their old games. :(

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo really needs to release more powerful console. Graphic & FPS drop for some AAA games are my main problems. I always ended up selling again my switch games except BOTW. The artstyle is good and doesn’t look outdated (graphic) game

@pokeysoda I never get hyped for a cast even if it's big celebs but Jack Black is legendary, Charlie Day is great, Keegan Michael Key needs more roles in ****... Like damn. Celebs are in voice acting all the ******* time. How come it's Nintendo's problem??

@TayTheGamer5 Try entering the service mode. Hold the vol + and - buttons down while holding the power button for about 7 seconds, the Nintendo logo should appear and fade then you'll be in the recovery mode. Try just exiting without using any of the reset options.

@SkiffTalks @SSBM_Spark My point was more so that it seems Nintendo will force sakurai to do what he doesn’t want to, therefore if they really push it, the “from a game” rule can be broken

@GenePark The online pricing is kinda a bummer. NES and SNES were a bonus for Nintendo’s first paid online service. N64 with no improvements is a paid game service with no alternatives to own them. Can only purchase these games on WiiU.

@tomathius @NintendoAmerica I mean not really since these existed through virtual console, and now there adding a sepperate service for it. But still unsure u til we know more details, and hey it is nice to have these games

Dr Lockdown, now with 5G vaccine compatibility
(@Dr_Lockdown) reported
Okay...so the problem with the Nintendo Direct wasn't that they didn't show anything. They showed a lot of great stuff, don't get me wrong. It's just that everything was overshadowed by the NSO 'DLC' and the Mario Cast kerfuffle. Those two were enough to ruin the whole thing.

Dear @NintendoAmerica NSO is like buying a vinyl trunk service. The first month, you get some Led Zeppelin and are jamming to stairway to heaven. Then after that it's Polka albums for Christmas time. And then they start coming every other month and now you want more money? Eat me

@zachtothefuller Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be a constant uproar to fix some of the casting? XD Like, if this is gonna be constant, I feel like its gonna be like how the Sonic film did. But this is Nintendo and they're probably not gonna give 2 shits lmao

@OversizedSausa1 @NintendoAmerica I wouldn't be surprised. I will be honest. I'm grateful that they are adding these titles...BUT, the $20 price tag was always an attractive part of NSO (even though the service always officered..bare minimum things). So a HUGE jump in price would be a massive turn off for many.

@tomathius no we can't because Switch online is FREAKING GARBO 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 and even though an expansion pass for a subscription service is actually kinda common in the industry Nintendo is BAD COMPANY so my bashing on their BAD ANTI-CONSUMER DECISIONS is justified 🔥🔥👌🙏

@pokopakku See I would agree with you but I see 1 tinsy tiny problem A. If Nintendo wanted to STOMP their competitors,why would they have NASB on their platform then? Wouldn't they not have it if they really cared about it B.Smash is on 1 platform while NASB has MULTIPLE platforms. 1/2

So uhh, Nintendo really gonna put Mario 64 on the Online service after they pretty much forced people to buy 3D All Stars cuz of the limited time of availability, huh. Seems like a Nintendo move lol. BUT WE GOT OOT ON IT TOO SO IM GOODDDDD. Time to beat it for the 100th time :D

Oof, real **** move on Nintendo's part to move N64 and Genesis to a (higher-priced?) tier of online service. I hope it's not too expensive, but I'm going to pass for now.

My only big take with the #NintendoDirect is that while the N64/Genesis on-line is nice. It's been 14 years since the GameCube was discontinued. It's really seriously time for those games to start being ported if Nintendo really wanted to make a splash with their service.

Blade Raider
(@BladeGnome) reported
So I don't hate Nintendo's online service, but I really wish there was an à la carte option for these games on the Switch. I just don't play online and I don't want another subscription service. Even if already had the service, I would still want the option for my favorites.

I don't play video games enough to pay extra for Nintendo's online service on top of the $20 a year they already charge, so I guess I'll pass on the N64 & SEGA Genisis addition.
