I understand the business on why they're forcing people to subscribe to NSO online for the retro games, but I'd rather just repurchase these games again on the eshop. Options, they should exist for everyone NINTENDO! Like if they want to have this service then that's fine!

@decusq7 The only problems I have with it is the lag, which is honestly a persistent NINTENDO problem as opposed to the game itself!

@HuttserGreywolf OH MY GOD the lag at times has lost me SO MANY matches! Totally agree, Nintendo NEEDS to invest in getting their online component better.

@Splatoon_Kirby @rat404_ Not necessarily, the Nintendo CDN has been broken into for a while so if a game goes up there, modders can get it

But give me the OPTION to buy these games off the eshop I WILL GIVE YOU MORE MONEY! I don't understand what exec in the board room of Nintendo thought, "No one will want to buy these games again we should force our customers to pay for our online service to play these games."

@TheNeoism @501Lyfe Switch is basically a 6 year old console it's cheaper tech Nintendo basically stored and bought load of parts early it doesn't have supply and demand issues like ps5 really

@W789Kyle Not true. Most modern 4k TVs have more than 2 HDMI ports, LG for example has 4 of them. As for the SCART issue, I got a SCART to HDMI adapter for my Nintendo Wii.

@NotSignsj @Macethedash @NintendoAmerica No I just dodge them, I never really had a problem with tenta spam. Though it can be overwhelming for me sometimes (when mixed with other specials) it's not common that I die to it.

@GardenPawsGame Hello I'm not trying to be rude but I heard the the nintendo switch port Isn't performing very well has there been any patches to fix this?

@darknakat Now if only I could get @nintendo and @PowerA to replace all the broken Switch controllers I've bouumght from them. Lol. My power A's broke after one use and the joycons just... suck.

@RenOperative_ That's the issue though: Nintendo already did get criticised for their business moves time and time again, in spite of their actions, and they will get that criticism again. Heck, they even got criticised for the Super Mario collection, and for Bayonetta being exclusive here

@opop42069 I agree that nintendo should price there remake at a lower price. The problem it's nintendo and I've given up hope they will ever change. Hopefully other companies should Hopefully learn not to be nintendo.

Just found out that @BestBuySupport 2 yr coverage for @NintendoAmerica Switch is problematic as they have to send out device for repair, and if deemed unrepairable you lose your data (pokemon and animal crossing). My Switch OLED is bending and still functional but needs fix.

Most of Nintendo's live service games die after about a year but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still huge enough to warrant DLC almost a decade after release

@RenOperative_ @agentnibbles5 @opop42069 the main issue is that Naughty Dog crunches its employees to hell, so releasing a useless game is just torturing employees for no reason. If nintendo releases a mid game they just don't profit as much from it

@opop42069 See issue is it’s not all Sony fans. Not all Nintendo, Xbox or pc fans. It’s legit the hardcore fanboys that are annoying as hell. Same with any fandom. There are alot of chill *** people within. But th annoying hardcore ones overshadow us chill ones.

@Reecee_yt Skyward Sword HD: -Was rightfully called out for being at the price it is -wasn’t already playable on the switch -did more than just a graphical upgrade and made positive improvements to the game where people had issues with the original. Hmmm yes nobody is calling out nintendo

@Kneon Nobody doxxed "Near" - he was anon online. Maybe he lied about where he lived, had no family, and a coworker got his ashes and had the earn engraved with his online handle. O.o Or the dude in JP with massive copyright trouble from Nintendo just deleted his online accounts. -_-

People are really giving SEGA genuine reasons to do what they complain about Nintendo doing If SEGA someday soon starts taking down fan games these guys will start crying like little ******** for the problem THEMSELVES caused But it will be a "SEGA bad us good" moment for some

End of the day, I hate to be *that guy* but I genuinely am disappointed how poorly Nintendo has "improved" their Splatoon productions. It's hard for me to appreciate this sick action casually without seeing the glaring issues in my face.

The year is 20XX. Voice acting is still an underpaid profession. However, unlike Lord Bezos, whom they say is "just a guy", users of the government service "Twitter" do not realize that voice actors are, indeed, just normal people with a job. Coming this fall to Super Nintendo.

There is unfortunately very little a broadcaster can do to alleviate this loss is quality. It doesn't matter if it's Nintendo or your homie streaming to 2 viewers, it will always be an issue unless encoding technology changes or improves dramatically
