Y'all Twitter and YT ******* collapsed What a Terrible choice to host a Nintendo direct and making both Platforms crash and not function at all

Me, for the fourth time since watching the nintendo direct this afternoon: Well maybe if Four Swords were released for the GBA service, I would get the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass™

@NathanldShadow @ChrisMcL16 @Nick_Marseil I think the problem is that Sony and Nintendo are putting that price tag on cross-gen titles. They say current-gen titles are more expensive to make and then they slap $70 on a remake of a 10-year-old game.

@DanjiroC @Aubin_Vls @NintendoAmerica that still doesn’t address the issue of the open world looking empty based on the teaser though. having more space to explore like the floating islands doesn’t solve the issue of that space lacking structures/npcs/etc.

@Tritonus_69 @ImBubbaSor @IGN I respect every bit of these stylized games and no have no problem with playing low resolution/fps games. i love all of Nintendo’s games. but in my humble opinion, the price point shouldn’t be as high because the technology used isn’t up to par with the current gen.

@ShonaSoF @Naivintage1 @NintendoAmerica No but it should quadruple the cost. And it's metroid it probably won't cost anything in Marketing. The direct trailer wasn't anything special so yeah. I do believe that they could've Sold it for 20 no problem

Hang on, the new old #Nintendo Gameboy Advance games that are available with your #nintendoonline subscription aren't available unless you upgrade to a premium service? Ugh.

So basically Sony and Nintendo who LEAD the market GET to create this very effect, but when MICROSOFT plays by the same rule, suddenly you wake up from playing Solitaire and you have problems with that? Typical govt corrupt bureaucreats, I'd just be quiet, you're embarrassing.

@CRUXET I think most the time people mean is that games are so expensive for less of the quality compared years ago. Plus games never budge in price for years (mostly a Nintendo issue)

@Oti09280470 Problem is Nintendo has no incentive at all to invest on better hardware, just by taking a look at Switch hardware and software figures.

@retrogaminggeek Nintendo called the NES a Ninendo entertainment system and avoided video game branding because of the video game crash of the 80s. Also pushed the game console term so Nintendo wouldn't become a generalised term for consoles as it could have lost them their trademark.

@HaphazardMethod @MarzGurl Then by that logic it shouldn't be on the service because it was remade already. OR Nintendo knows customers will buy games multiple times if they feel the value is good enough.

@PlayStation are you seeing how consistent Nintendo are with adding retro classics to their subscription service? And now I'm seeing posts about Xbox being the best place to emulate PS1 and PS2 games. Why would I bother with PS Plus Premium anymore? Absolutely hopeless

Just realized something about Mario and Luigi SSS on Nintendo Switch. It’s likely being presented unaltered- which means the Geno cameo is there. If so, that means Nintendo talked to Square Enix to make this rerelease happen. Perhaps other SE games could come to the service?

@illaurastrates I mean, I'm kind of glad they're there, but it's a shame it isn't like virtual console in this case (much like with other classic titles). A shame that Nintendo essentially put one between the eyes in that service.

@TropicalMaku My switch battery just died after a year of "careful" use and now they are increasing game's prices. How much of that extra sales income is going to your hardware r&d sector to fix these issues Nintendo? @NintendoAmerica

@WeegeeLord9 @NintendoUK They can't even emulate their own systems without fkin everything up. Nesticle did a better job in 97 than current Nintendo. As for the site crash? Corporate server rooms are ****. They don't finance IT dept at all. It's always, "Well, fix it!" It's why I quit doin Corp work.

So that Nintendo Direct last night... So many games I'd be interested in checking out, but that was also kinda the problem; I'm never gonna be able to play them all. Still, Metroid Prime remaster! Definitely gonna get the physical version next month. :D

@Yoshi_ascending Twitter was being kinda wonky earlier, my guess is because of the Nintendo Direct that happened Hopefully it should fix up now or soon

@playasia I have both Golden Sun GBA cartridges so I'd rather just play them on my DS Lite since I don't have to pay live service fees to do that. If Nintendo brought back Virtual Console where you can actually pay to own the games, I might double-dip on Golden Sun.

I think the Nintendo direct is enough to get subscribing again to the online service. I have 4G broadband as my house is 'off the UK fibre grid' so my NAT type can't play online but the retro games work.

Twitter's Global outage happened the same time as Nintendo's Direct, because Elon wanted to simulate the online experience of a Nintendo console as a means of paying tribute to the Kyoto giant.

@NintendoUK Even if GameCube was added the NSO the service still wouldn't be worth it when you see what their competitors are doing. This service is far too outdated and we never get free games with our costly subscription.

@Goyo_el_pollo @OctoboyYT While it is against Nintendo’s TOS, it’s not illegal to modify the game. They do have the right to “refuse service”, which in this case would be to ban you from online play, but anything else.
