@SpawnWaveMedia All nintendo has to do is start a service for legacy content similar to gamepass, put the legacy metroid games on there, and BOOM you probably sold like 10 million copies of metroid dread. Too bad nintendo is stupid

@iainbunt @MojangSupport Could be the infamous Switch download glitch that's been plaguing people lately. Nintendo's gonna patch it sometime soon. Hopefully.... 😓

@Manga_Kamen I've had stuff like this over a remark about how Xbox and Nintendo's controllers are similar yet different, my brother thought I was saying one was better. I was venting about the trouble I have learning new games cuz' of weird button placement doesn't even need to be criticism.

@CaptainMarsh_ @LulukuleleLuke @SEGA I'm with you there. "Too many launchers" is a weak argument when we should be talking about exclusivity deals on launchers that have poor security. Like Rockstar Games Launcher, PSN, and Nintendo eShop all showing major security issues in the last year.

@gamer2555 @XboxGamePassPC @Windows Then how come Sony and Nintendo don't have this issue? Yet, Microsoft, the biggest lobbyist against open standards just to make sure that Office 365 is in schools, can't bribe local authorities for some extra money in the bank.

@OmegaManZX Never seen any statement from Nintendo on the issue. Fans would certainly prefer it that way.

@SparksEchidna The struggle! I hope Nintendo released 64 games on the Online service 😔 They would do themself as well us a real favor for playing old games again. It was nice to have this old games their on the consoles even you had to rebuy them sadly 🥲

@JavianDennard There's no excuse really. Can't be an emulation problem. Either they are afraid to raise the price or they are hanging on to for a growth catalyst when Switch sales slow or something other weird Nintendo reason.

@JoseBer56296540 @Nintendeal Nintendo mitigated this issue a bit by limiting sales to no less than $1.99 cause some people where charging $20 for a game then putting it on sale for $.01 to skyrocket to the top of the bestselling page.

@snoosnoo13 @THQNordic i didn't say there weren't other problems lol, but you only noted 2 issues, one being hardware problems despite Nintendo always being behind on hardware and that if u bought a nintendo expecting the best hardware, that's on you

@Comics_Lamar @KaoKacique @Kotaku It is a You problem, not a Nintendo problem. I paid to have all these consoles and can still play all these games. I paid to download them digitally and I still have them. This article discusses how piracy and emulation are so much easier. I won’t support that argument.

@AarL89 @PcElitest Why? It’s never occurred with any other system before? Why now, all of a sudden, is it an issue with the Wii U? Nobody has an answer for that. But that’s just one of those strange industry things that only applies to Nintendo no matter how little sense it makes.

@Toruhiiyi Nintendo could fix all of this by selling them on eShop

@itsTomokocchi Join the Patreon and demand Matt make a "Wha Happun?" on this game because I really can't believe that nobody wanted to take responsibility and that "Someone needs to fix that glitch and it won't be me" is how it ended. Nintendo also sucked during that whole era with localizing.

@LivelyOfMana @TokarasuTV @IntroSpecktive It's specifically ROMs and ISOs that are the issue, the games themselves. Unless the laws changed or I'm misinterpreting something. Apparently copyright laws in Japan are a bit more strict, but still it really is a Nintendo thing because after all look at Sega.

@Logics_so_sic @XboxP3 @Microsoft Right so we should just take the s**t because its Microsoft, mate id have this problem on any product if it was this way, for instance By the way. I do not see a single add for PSnow on my PS4/5, I don't see any ads for Nintendo Online on my switch ever not in any game either

@BL0CKMAN10 @Nadinosaurusrex @Schaffrillas Did you not read the end of my tweet? Also I’m talking about mostly retro games from N64-GameCube and every other game Nintendo decided not to put on NSO services. If Nintendo just put these games on new hardware I guarantee piracy wouldn’t be as much as a “problem” as it is now

When are you going to fix the game stability problems on fortnite on the nintendo switch. This new season is so laggy that the game is almost unplayable.

@MarshyLeaks @RGrammier @PokemonGoApp So your telling me niantic got all these in game issues approved by Nintendo before making them a real problem for all of us who actually play the game because we know no one at the niantic offices does…..

@LordSedg Read the review. 6 courses, which does feel light. Seems like they only liked the new speed golf. The image I’m getting is very similar to some other recent Nintendo trends, where there is less content out of the gate than it’s predecessor, and free dlc will “fix it”.
