That fancy new NSO app seems tailor-made for potential new systems. Nice and organized. You don't go through all the trouble just for NES and SNES. Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows maybe you would.

@AdrianGarciaVa5 @NintendoAmerica You’re the wrong one if you think Switch Online is at all a good service.

@MonadoBoy16 @MercyKnifed @NintendoAmerica Not much of a problem since the Switch doesn't even have a web browser.

@turndownforwalt @radarssbm #AskTheMixup what are your thoughts on Melee’s future? On one hand it hurts to think about how Nintendo might’ve blocked us off forever regarding a circuit or league. On the other hand we’re seeing unprecedented growth thanks to Slippi and so many barriers being broken!

@Ferchou_27 I'm not saying the cloud service would be better tho, it's just what I'd expect a company like Nintendo to do lol Still, I see your point and now that I know the process to do this I don't really mind repeating it honestly

@NFrog6 I dunno, but they have a cool trending thingyy now at least so thats fun. maybe adding a nintendo switch online icon means that those rumors of a better future for the online service is confirmed?

@moodymozart_ @biggestjoel if throwing something out is better than continuing to use it, then it's broken. the switch works fine it just has problems with its controller and nintendo has shady business practices. to me there's a huge difference

The only positive thing I can say about Nintendo's approach to saving media to your smartphone in 11.0.0 is that it's independent of the usage of another Nintendo service/app, which means that this method could be used long after Nintendo discontinues the Switch and its services

the rumor that mario 3d all-stars and fire emblem 1 being fomo switch releases to get ahead of nintendo consolidating and reworking switch online's retro game service is just dumb and ***-backwards enough for me to believe that it's probably true

@SpawnWaveMedia They should freaking add folders already. I think I get it though! Nintendo doesn't see the problem because their employees probably only play 2 or 3 games... I can already see it, Smash, BotW and Animal Crossing.

@Naveed_Mohebbi No. That is bad. You should be upset. That’s such an easy fix. Come on Nintendo.

@KawlunDram @AllSourceGaming The Switch is a joke compared to the PS5 which is $100 more and the XsX which is the same price. Nintendo needs to compete with these consoles before releasing a dongle that acts as a wireless dock with input lag crap stadia-level streaming. 4K undockable console or bust.

@ArtBuffalo_ I dont mean the services, of course the service sucks, but lets be fair, 20 per year aint bad for what you get. You have to admit nintendo always comes up with cool ideas for their consoles and those features boosts the games that are made. I do agree on the drift tho.

Hopefully, Nintendo adding a dedicated Switch Online app to the home menu means they actually plan on expanding the service. If not, it will just look really awkward considering the effort that went in to making this.

@Wario64 Are the Nintendo online people still using aol too? They're the most incompetent company when it comes to netcode and user friendly experiences. Should learn something from Microsoft or beg them to fix it for them.

@ForceinUnison You know we're talking about Nintendo here, right? Terrible business decisions, lack of connection with their fans, an online service they forgot about (both in retro games and mobile app), and complete negligence to add basic console features (like folders). So... doubt it.

@kilnerlufc @64Null @NintendoAmerica It just seems like a non problem and not really worth fretting over. You can play Netflix on literally anything else that has a screen and WiFi capability.

@NintendoAmerica Thought it was a nice update till I saw the icon. You seriously couldn't make it match the others? I'm no genius at graphical design, but even I could make something match the other icons. Who is in charge of this, and why didn't they fix it before releasing this?

@Futterish @ZombaeKillz Yeah was about to agree with Mike, it should fall under "fair use" but corporations can be specific about trademark on logos even if it is under fair use. Although, we'd all be in a lot of trouble if Xbox, Sony or Nintendo decided to slap creators if no logos were allowed.

@Anything4Orbs @NintendoAmerica It’s got problems but I still enjoy it for what it is. Also you said Jurassic World: Evolution and Jurassic World: The Game were the same game when you could’ve just googled it and find out that they aren’t, so your argument is invalid
