@AegisGirlPneuma @NintendoAmerica Shown, but if they aren't playable 🤔 Also where's the Poppi-fan-service?

Gonna be pretty neat of Nintendo to drip-feed us the WiiU/3DS store contents as part of a subscription service in 20 years time. I eagerly await.

Anyway at some point this was going to happen at some point. I hope the "nintendo network" service doesn't end its life so soon.

@MetroidDatabase I’m fine with this decision as long as Nintendo plans on continuing to expand the NSO service to include games from consoles other than NES, SNES and N64. There’s no reason for them not add GameBoy and GameCube at some point.

@WiscoSportsNut @TheeAleexJ @NintendoAmerica you could, but what about patches? I remember a pokemon game that had a game breaking glitch??

On a somewhat unrelated topic, how would people who hype up the idea of piracy and preserving gaming history go about doing that for uhhhhhh lets say live service and Online only games like Warzone, or in the case of Nintendo Pokemon Unite.

@AlbertoSal201 @YoshiCookie @SpawnWaveMedia The Nintendo 64 was notoriously a very difficult console to make games for, and also difficult to properly emulate. This is primarily why their third-party support was bad. Gamecube-Wii would give them far fewer problems

@imranzomg I will definitely do this because the disc drive died and Nintendo wants like a thousand dollars to fix it

@nichegamer Hey Nintendo, you like money? How about actually making the games on the online service purchasable? The money literally prints itself here.

I remember how on my original DS before I switched to an XL I think I used a different Nintendo network ID and that I forgot my login information for that one so when I got my Excel I used the one I set up on my Wii u after forgetting my original one

@Joe_Eschbach On a scale from one to Tesla Headlights, Nintendo decisions are 14. 🤔 But yeah… I gave up on a headlights(still have one spare). I care about it, but whatever, switched my car to “range mode” which turns off DRL and pretending that there is no issue.

@mascotsarekool Sending it to Nintendo is probably the only way to fix this. Just turn the console all the way off before sending it and it’ll hopefully be fine.

@writersflood i think the issue here is that a lot of people who claim they want this stuff dont actaully do people had 10 years to buy these games i think nintendo sorta realizes most dont actually care and it costs too much to keep these stores running

@rixor14 @Akfamilyhome Nintendo is TOO Eastern and Sony is TOO Western. They have opposing issues.

@AleanaAzure @Noellee_uwu @NintendoAmerica From what you said, you are: broke, can't afford a hobby you probably pirate anyway, can't accept that digital is temporary like physical media...disc rot is an issue for some games and you are bent out of shape because companies hold property rights over their IPs

@Pokemon @NintendoAmerica I get my Pokédex for Pokémon Arceus completed. Go to lab to get the shiny charm. I get a system error for some reason…… I spent hours finishing this and since my game didn’t save properly, I have to go through this again.

@NintendoAmerica Oh goody, playing games I can't forever own, on an online service that releases old titles in like a +3 month gap, and having to pay every year which would most likely go up in the triple digits once other consoles are added Great game preservation, Nintendo!

@grantthethief I'm having the issue with Nintendo 64. I know Nintendo had the NES, Super Nintendo, and Virtual Boy, but where are the other 61 consoles? 😥

@XanderIsALoser @TrendanBrendan @NintendoAmerica I thought I heard someone report that it would just become a free service afterwards but I'm not 100% positive about it

@YoshiCookie @SpawnWaveMedia My point was that Nintendo already has trouble emulating Nintendo 64 on Switch(for whatever reason, may be they don't want to spend alot of resources on emulation, or hardware related) that GameCube and Wii are not priority. But i can see GameBoy working fine

@RavenSoftware how about investigating the issues cause player not to one be able to load into games or the one when players do load in to a game it looks like they are playing on the nintendo 64

@theWellRedMage If Nintendo gave a **** they could start by porting everything that's on the VC to the NSO shop. There is literally no reason they have to cut the service.

@infrarogue89 It also encourages smaller businesses to hold onto Nintendo and Sony moreso than Microsoft. TBH, I was gonna say right now that Japan IS the country that really needs a gaming industry crash like we did in the 80's.
