@PacboySlim Thanks! Space really is the number 1 problem for me. I had to relegate lots of CEs to other shelves and pack up my handheld Nintendo stuff in boxes to make way for more Switch games. Hopefully I'll be able to display everything in one coherent game room one day.

One thing that frustrates me about this garbage PS Plus service is it makes NSO look better. Don't let Sony's awful decisions justify Nintendo's awful decisions.

@Reecee_yt Regardless of how we want to call it, the problem still stands. We get barren games that feel sub-par in content and have to just wait and hope that Nintendo releases enough content over time. I'd rather start with the end result and get no additional content at this rate.

@OGG1993 If Nintendo and Playstation, the top gaming platform and developing studios had issues I'm not surprised that Xbox also had issues. So did CDPR, EA, Ubisoft. No one was immune. They managed to do their best but their biggest games were delayed like everyone else.

@AtlsShrugd PS classics arent for trophy hunters. They are doing this to compete with Nintendo online service and Xbox Backwards compability

@GigaBoots @PlayStation The fact that even Nintendo have just opted to offer the NTSC versions of their games by default, even in Europe, proves there's more thought put into their afterthought of a service than this.

It's finally got to a point where the value is undeniable, no matter what you use. It's video games, on demand. It is a rental service, with no due date. It's a dream come true for me. I can only hope Nintendo will follow Microsoft and Sony and try something like this.

@truthlesshero86 I ran into someone on tiktok who “could honestly careless” about Nintendo dropping N64 games into their paid service with glitches and bugs. Doesn’t take much to test your own emulator, especially if people are posting a premium to access it.

@AllieRX Nintendo: “Let’s make a rushed, overpriced service for the exact purpose to squeeze nostalgia dollars out of users to play some of our older games!” Sony: “Hold my beer.”

@WDBTHtGP Such a true fact My only complaint about smash isn't really about smash cause the problem is Nintendo with no competitive support and the fact that you have to pay 7 dollars to play terrible online

@jpkingx I only bought an xbox because of game pass and the fact I saw the way the industry was heading (consolidation) and knew Microsoft was not done buying and all these purchases would result in said service having more value. Before this I pretty much only bought Nintendo consoles

@elitherealist1 The Xbox consoles require an account and internet connection to setup, and just recently people were unable to play games they'd bought due to a server outage so it kinda already exists. Playstation and Nintendo are fully playable offline, sucks because I used to love Xbox.

@Neon_Idol25 @Oasismoose @NintendoAmerica Probably because my family didn't actually get many games for our N64. I'm not sure why, but we had maybe not much more than 10 different games. I think it may have been financial issues.

@ModernVintageG @GenePark Ahh, Vita and/or PC emulation it is then. Honestly though I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't fix this relatively soon. My goodness. If Nintendo can do it anybody can.

@v21 I was with them until they brought up Metroid Dread, a game that highlights perfectly how Nintendo consider accessibility on a hardware level but barely on a software level. I didn’t have issues with the controls, but if I want to play this 2D game with a D-pad, I’m out of luck..

Yesterday they changed my modem to fiber optic and for some reason it's not working on my 3ds, I draw in Colors 3D so I won't be able to upload them to my gallery, so there won't be any new drawings for a while, I'll buy Colors Live on Nintendo Switch.

@aaron2588 @THEREALRTU @Nintendo All games are digital… if you mean downloaded, just remember, most games these days have massive updates that means the game is broken or very slimmer without the downloads. So even if you buy a physical game, you still have to hope servers don’t go down.

@KirbyCheatFurby I mean I guess they're right that a lot of companies have issues like this but that's not an excuse, if anything it proves the issue is a bigger deal than if it was just Nintendo of America

@PlayStationEU Two questions: 1. When can we expect a list of which games will be included for Europe at launch? 2. Will we be getting PAL 50Hz or NTSC 60Hz versions of PS1 and PS2 games, or, like Nintendo's N64 service, will we have a choice of both?
