  @OnTheDownLoTho I'm think some people or everybody can think of ONE good thing. I don't think the post-launches are a problem, but the whole pessimism is kinda unnecessary. Nintendo knows that! The more complaints and asking for more stuff and characters, the result of the game will be iffy.

  @DimentioEnjoyer @NintendoAmerica For me, Super Mario Party is also an example of that issue, as I stopped playing it after a month due to a lack of online multiplayer modes at launch. Sure, online boards were added later, but that was over a year later when I had stopped caring about the game for quite a while

  @NintendoAmerica Nintendo: "Free updates" Fanbase: "Nintendo is making games as broken and incomplete as EA."

  @DimentioEnjoyer @NintendoAmerica "free content updates could actually help to increase the game's longevity" You literally descrived one of the most scummy tactics, dude: Games as a service.

  @LisaMcRad I’ve thought about this and part of it is me wondering if more of them are doing things like the collections we’ve seen of late. Why add it to Nintendo’s service when they can just sell it themselves? Cowabunga Collection has NES and SNES Turtles games not on NSO

  @magicxmc27 That much I can forgive, at least. The glitches and bugs Nintendo misses are almost always pretty minor and don't break their games. And when they do miss something bad, they fix it. Unlike some other studios I could name (coughBethesdacough).

  @DimentioEnjoyer @NintendoAmerica When you game desperately needs a content update BEFORE launch, that's when you know it's a huge *** problem. This game has either content retention issues or is unfinished. Simple as.

  @Yelix It's moronic to charge more for the tier that people don't want, which is true of Nintendo's subscription service too. They should invert the pricing structure and make the PS1, PS2, and PSP games the cheaper tier because...they already sold those games 20-30 years ago.

  @TheIronMadden @NintendoAmerica The joycone are fine, they don't need fix, the only thing that made them do the free waranty stuff is the class action lawsuit that was happening, the fact they still don't try to fix the problem on futur model kinda show how little they care. They still doing net profit 1/2

  @Kazoorion @HostessYoguur @NintendoAmerica No problem with "renting" them, I could care less about that. I will die one day and my grandkids won't give a piss what high score I got on NES Pinball. And-... $20?? That is nowhere near a premium. If you are complaining about that price you are Literally unemployed.

  @AllanRincon18 @MrTLexify @vgdunkey It's not emulating hardware that people have issue with, it's the fact that its overwhelmingly used for piracy. But buying from Nintendo is not piracy. But their emulators are garbage and piracy is cool so do lots of it 👍

  how does nintendo keep falling on their face with N64 emulation when they've already done this in the past with VC??? how does Kirby 64 have a bug in it that wasn't even in the original release of the game when N64 emulation is a solved problem

  Yes this is about the whole **** with Mario strikers and what I've been seeing with the Nintendo fanbase and gaming discourse in general about companies are bad for releasing games "broken" and "unfinished" while ignore stuff these companies underpaying employees, endorsing sl-

  @purplemage572 @HostessYoguur @NintendoAmerica Imagine thinking someone criticizing an awful service equal means an "unemployed PC gamer". "Hahahahaha you say you are poor to own a high quality service." Also, you don't even keep the retro games, you RENT them.

  @Kazoorion @HostessYoguur @NintendoAmerica Plus: it'd be different if the service was Actually bad, but like y'know- if you're not a fking as*shole that acts like Nintendo is never fun then ofcourse you're gonna look for everything that's wrong. It's just regurgitated hateful garbage and I'm sick of it. Just have fun ffs.

  @swshriv @NintendoAmerica I'm gonna be real After playing Monster Hunter, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate though this month- I have yet to encounter an issue on Nintendo's side. The online is fine, and just like any other service, sometimes it fails. Move on, man. Go to work.

  @Mayro97269279 @NintendoAmerica I think the only hurdle is getting Nintendo to even consider the idea. Once that happens there are no more hurdles, he's in. The problem is Nintendo has a stigma about characters from those games having a presence anywhere else.

  IronMadden (@TheIronMadden) reported 57 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica And I get this is mostly an issue for spin-offs and lower-profile releases, but those games all deserve better than this. Mario Party and sports games, Nintendo Switch Sports, etc. They all deserve better.

  @Jewario2 @NintendoAmerica Play online and play a bunch of retro games, only $20 for a year. Idk I would have an actual problem if what we're paying for isn't worth the price but like It is, so. Maybe my view is different because I'm not unemployed.
