@TheNamesAbe @NintendoAmerica They really give us crap. It’s been a few months I think since they added new games to the service and they just post garbage when there’s actual fun stuff people are begging for. I guess the rumor of a FE4 remake weren’t true if this is out for free.

@JustLiveHappy @NintendoAmerica Exactly my point. If you are having trouble finishing a level, this would come in handy. Allows you to recoup. I don’t think you should be allowed to fast-travel from a dungeon when you’re getting a little pressured from a stupid boss Warp to the Sky, buff urself. Work for it?

@NekoNeko104 @PushDustIn they wouldn't be allowed to add licensed games because they would have to pay money to not only add said licensed games but would have to constantly pay a fee to keep those licensed games on Nintendo switch online service & i highly doubt Nintendo would want to do that

@lumie_lumie Nintendo probably have issue with it, that why switch version take more time, remember there no way android version come first before Nintendo switch version that the rule of multi-platform game, so YEAH probably Nintendo have something to do with it

@The_Hypist @NintendoAmerica Let your subscription expire. It’s a huge scam anyway. They add crap games a few times a year and ignore all the high quality stuff people are begging for. If enough of us walk away they will add the games we want to get our money again. Don’t pay for this awful service now.

@NintendoAmerica beating the ashes of a dead horse so they should just make this service cheaper or make it better quality so thanks for reading my rant i guess 4/4

i was on the hating snes/nes online train until i was talking to my brother about it & he was talkin about how much fun he had. It was at that point i realized the service isnt supposed to appeal to us since we were spoiled to **** thanks to the worst nintendo console in years

@NintendoAmerica GET👏BETTER 👏 GAMES 👏 in all seriousness nintendo really has to improve with this lack luster service more exclusive games more snes and nes games like mario paint, mario rpg, and duck hunt we need better things for the 20 bucks a year yeah sure its cheaper then ps plus 1/2

@Evileye515_ @IntroSpecktive Most issues people are having with Nintendo simply don't require a new console facelift to fix. Their piss poor excuse for an Online service needs to step up leaps and bounds and actually show some backbone moving forward otherwise nothing changes. It'll be this 3 years from now

@LiquidGoth sadly i dont see the castlevanias getting on there since konami made separate compilations for those and nintendo would rather **** a llama than release something on their subscription service when it's already purchasable on the eshop.

@Arian5367 @NintendoAmerica Unfortunately so many Nintendo “fans” are such idiots they will keep paying for this service thinking EarthBound will be released next month. Nintendo won’t add good games unless people cancel their subscription and they need a way to get people back.

gosh dang i'm a cool dude

@NintendoAmerica why do you ask people to pay for a service that you put literally 30 year old shovelware on

@PhantomArtifice For sure, Nintendo has the money, why not make their service better with it, they just don't want to, LOL

@soul_societyy Never played Skyward Sword, but I think it'll be an issue if Nintendo intentionally removed that to justify the amiibo.

(@PhantomArtifice) reported
@UltimaShadowX yeah definitely. I really threw those up as just examples of games I'd like to see on the system (whether it be online or through just direct ports), but I don't think Nintendo would be willing to pay and I don't think Square would miss out on profits through the Online service

I saw earthbound trending with NSO and thought Nintendo was finally adding some good games again. Nope why put our good first party games on our service when we can just put obscure games that only a couple hundred people have even heard of.

@emmanuelsntz @keinaka_ @NintendoAmerica Tried it on Switch have you? Skyward Sword on Wii wasn't an issue as I could just use the wiimote in my left hand. Try now and use the right joy-con in your left hand, feel comfortable to you?

(@TheKBGamer) reported
@TontonLaio @AsagiKurosagi It's a double edged sword. If it doesn't sell well then Nintendo would take that as "Well I guess people don't want remasters of previous Zelda games anymore." Then not rerelease these titles again. But then when it inevitably sells well they think theres no problem at all.

@PhantomArtifice @UltimaShadowX It’s still weird though since Nintendo let Mario RPG get ported to the SNES Classic, so why would they decide now to not pay for the game for this service?

@garbear0119 @ajsearson @AllEchse It's not that Nintendo can't do it, but there's way more to it than just "You have money, you can do it." They'd have to make sure the games actually run well, can support the online multiplayer with little issue, and give us enough titles to hold us over when it first drops.

@AndresZayas14 @NintendoAmerica I’m letting my membership expire and unless more people do the same we won’t get good games. It’s a scam service that barely gets updated. If enough people walk away Nintendo will add good games to get our money back.

@NintendoAmerica We're gonna get another video game crash if they keep releasing these ****** games that almost no one knows about.

(@Evileye515_) reported
@Tekno_Saber @IntroSpecktive Unless ur an avid online player, my Nintendo offers free trials for online every few months, so if u wanna play on let's say the new smash character's release, u don't pay a cent. U get 7 days, more than enough to play with some friends. Ain't supporting that dogshit service.

@SpectrlDynamite @ErickADub @NintendoAmerica People need to stop paying for NSO. I’m letting mine expire cause they put in a terrible effort. It’s a worse service than Miiverse and it costs more money. The WiiU had an amazing Virtual Console because Nintendo needed cash. Cancel NSO and they’ll add good stuff to get us back
