@WrestlingBios @44iceberg I don't think it runs all Nintendo 64 games equally. O as I recall, I had some problems myself. Some games do not run well on this at all. I'm even crash.

@Kaz_here @IGN I get it,Part of owning a console, but it’s not something new, Nintendo just happens get be getting the short end of the stick, with the whole drift issue. Calibrate your controller sticks and see if that helps. Minimize it, don’t press as hard on the sticks. Xbox are $ 70

@SGTThiccums @Phantom_Spidey @Naughty_Dog Wise?! They were originally going to be $80 bucks and you think it’s wise? Just like how Nintendo made a cheep online service but the servers suck and that’s a “wise” decision?....No.

@FSAPOJake @RedGamingTech By introducing the paid subscription, Sony AND Nintendo both improved their service and server qualities. They delivered something to justify the cost. That is not given with this XBL cost increase. They increased the price solely to push ppl onto XBL Ultimate/Game Pass.

@TheAshenLuca The Xbox Community needs to fight back on this one. We need to stop enabling this behavior, especially when it makes the BS Nintendo Online service a more compelling purchase. Also, $120 to play Halo Infinite MP‽ Hell no. Thankfully, MCC is on PC.

@AngryJoeShow @Xbox They do got the smoothest dashboard to be fair, and hey Nintendo is cheap af but their service sucks, so you want free service that sucks or paid service that’s good?

@Supergoodpixel @Qwik @JezCorden I've already invested in 3 Xbox consoles and a library of titles both physical and online through Microsoft. I do happen to own a PS4 and also pay for PS Plus as well as Nintendo Online for 2 Switch's. So hearing the that service I'm already paying twice for doubling again sucks!

@AboutNintendo @synstora @badvgtakes Honestly, if they add gba, N64 and GameCube to switch online. Kept the service for switch 2 with the entire retro catalog ever expanding, I'd be okay with Nintendo raising the price. But not to $120 a year

Hey @NintendoAmerica, you should charge $60 for Switch online. Any good service is worth that much at least. 🤙

The reason your price went up is b/c you dont BUY GAMES. You prefer a rental service that you DONT CONTROL. Xbox can't make $$$ of the rental service and is bringing up the price on all services. Until Game Pass is on Nintendo/Sony platforms your price will increase.

@Nintendeal look I like the NES and SNES games and also tetris 99 and mario 35. but the online service of Nintendo is a joke. you can't even play SMM2 or smash without lag.

@SuperTuberEddie I mean in general, it's not like Sony, Xbox or Nintendo need the bit of extra money, it's just another way to squeeze cash out of people for a service that should be free, a service that was free on older consoles and is free on PC

@Nintendeal I mean as much as I hate paying to play online in general, I'm very grateful Nintendo doesn't charge you the cost of a game to play online, I just hope they don't ever raise the price if they start adding newer retro games to the service. My PS+ just expired this month and...

I’m starting to feel like whenever there’s a negative comment about Xbox game library or pricing the new response is “but Gamepass”. It’s the same response with Nintendo when their online service or quality of life issues , “but animal crossing” or insert game title. #bebetter

@rodas_teran @SpawnWaveMedia To be fair Nintendo’s online service doesn’t work at all, It should be free. I mean all of them should be free but Nintendo’s online isn’t even functional.

Xbox’s online service costs 6x the Nintendo Switches. Holy hell.

@IGN Nintendo has said that they are working to resolve the issue. They can only be found guilty if they planned on having an issue with the controllers (they probably didn't). I doubt much will happen from this.

@DynamoSuperX Why are we insulting Nintendo when their service costs $20? This ain't even a reason to hate on Nintendo, yet y'all found a way to make it about them.

@podunkuu lrt? leg replacement therapy? anyway i don't think smash is the problem lol it's just funny that nintendo wants you to pay 20$ a month, admittably cheaper, but 90% of their games don't even have servers lol

@IGNWorseThan @Jojo33569234 @ActualAero I don’t really see a problem with Mario Maker 2 existing just because the first game happened. Plus the game had potential to surpass 1 like when they added a story mode but Nintendo dropped the ball by not adding in more updates or keeping Amiibo support.

@CptSpazza @JezCorden I really don't care about the snes & nes stuff. Even GWG is better than that. Nintendo's online service sucks, but at least it's priced appropriately. MS should be trying to offer a better service than Sony at a better price

@ChIMeRaTeX1337 @FSAPOJake @RedGamingTech No..? In fact Nintendo's Online services got worse once it stopped being free. As PSN? It could only get better after being offline for a month due to hackers taking advantage of their garbage online infrastructure. DDOS still happens on console with paid online, no excuses.

@toxtra @anthonypalm @DMC_Ryan Nintendo Online is the most basic garbage service you can have. It would have been the worst option 10 years ago. $20 a year is a ripoff for it.

Every since last generation where the disc came with a broken copy of the game and you had 40+ GB of Day 1 Updates, I stopped buying physical games for all consoles other than the Nintendo Switch.
