@cJbOxyEEt @NintendoAmerica Aight cool, but you can’t deny all the evidence brought forth by all the people complaining that BOUGHT the service. I put lag, very little list of games, lots of lag even when you are wired and have good internet. So yea it’s fair to say this price increase is unjustified.

@THEREALRTU @YouTube @NintendoAmerica Rich, the audio thing is not a glitch. That person pressed the L button by accident, which turns off the music. With that said, yea, NSO+EP is a joke

@NintendoAmerica A better pricing model would’ve been: *Single yearly 19.99 —> $24.99 *Family yearly 34.99 —> $39.99 Just bring N64 & Genesis to the normal Online service and remove Animal Crossing DLC

bringing back calling things “the bomb”

@NintendoAmerica Booo! (This is not a friendly, seasonally appropriate “boo” this is me expressing my displeasure at the pricing and quality of emulation in your vastly overpriced online service)

@jonhickman137 @SwitchSpeedster @NintendoAmerica As long as you do everything correctly you won't get a virus. I've never really had a problem with that.

@JoeyD5150 @NeoGameSpark It's a little unfair to the games. Sony is probably starting to get the Nintendo problem as well. Without HITS you cannot do a showcase anymore. I dont think the showcase was "good" but it was only 20 minutes, it showed Star Ocean and little Devil inside. Its ok tbh

@NintendoAmerica Any of them once you drop the cost to a sane level and fix the emulator lag.

@MaxMargo06 @64JaiSG I agree. It’s half assed. It’s not terrible but it’s got it’s fair share of problems. I’m optimistic Nintendo will fix the emulation mistakes with the next update, but I would really count on it

@NintendoAmerica Maybe have a functioning online service for a reasonable price and I’ll think about it

@SomehowCreative N64 Emulation is horribly broken on Switch. It's an even worse experience than on the 20+ year old original hardware somehow. It's outrageous, especially given the price they are asking for it. What a very Nintendo move.

When I tell y’all I’m never selling my old Nintendo games again. The only issue I’m having now is not pulling the trigger on the earlier gens back then too

@KrisWarlock @Bleep981 @SkillUpYT The problem is that people associate State of Play with big reveals and hype. Nintendo solved this by separating their big and small titles between Nintedo Direct and Nindies Direct. Sony should cosider doing the same.

... of course I messed up the island transfer. Nintendo please give me back my island it's 60% of the reason I have the online service lol

Also ppl are taking this as me giving into getting the expansion pack It isn’t at all Lmfao. It’s just sad that Nintendo’s adding decent n64 games to a scam online service

@NintendoAmerica Are you planning on addressing the input lag, frame-rate drops, audio delays, and button layout problems on the N64 games?

@CheeseSculptors @bazash1972 @DestinyNewsCom Yea, I think Nintendo does as well. It isn't the server you are on when you experience lag, it is the p2p connection. Games are not hosted on dedicated servers. Either you or the other player has a garbage connection.

@NintendoAmerica N64 online has so many problems that I just can't agree with anyone saying this is worth it, because they're just wrong. Also thanks to Sega this pricing is just even worse. Please have the ability to have these be separate sections.

@NintendoAmerica Are you actually even reading these comments? Do you even care? A lot of us would be comforted simply having you acknowledge the problems and telling us you're working on them? Does your fan base not even deserve that after decades of loyalty? Please, just tell us something.

Unfortunately... I wish that I loved Nintendo Switch's Online Expansion but the cost at the moment just doesn't add up to what I am receiving as a service. I will be grabbing Happy Home Paradise seperately so I hope there will be more in the service to justify the price later on.

@NintendoAmerica Horrible pricing…why not bring the n64 & Sega Genesis to the normal Online service and increase the yearly price to $25 (from $19.99) single, $40 (from $34.99) family.

@NintendoAmerica Not spending $50 on a bad online service. I'll just keep playing Mario 64 through the 3D Allstars and literally anything else for 64 through my PC.
