@Nintendo Switch has a minor error in Chinese(simplifed) translation. 'Recover/Healing/Restore' in Chinese is "恢复", but it displays "回复". Same error in Zelda BOTW, Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem: TH. Probably an error in the translation repository?

@younghavok @scottd4571 @ModernVintageG I can't argue with your subjective experience, but at the same time it's a fact that some things, like fog rendering in OOT, are broken. They aren't broken in other emulators running in the same hardware. Nintendo can fix it and they should.

Currently, when starting Pikmin Bloom with a Nintendo Account, you won’t be able to link it with any login methods used for other Niantic games.

@NintendoAmerica I would get it until I get money and patch the N64 lagging.

@bradgallaway I can't even follow what you just said. I got review codes for the Australian eshop, so I made an Australian Nintendo account to download them. I've never had a problem playing the games with my US-linked profile before.

@NintendoAmerica Honestly, as a consumer it seems abusive to me, since the quality of the online game is very low, I am quite disappointed with how they charge for this type of service that does not offer a quality service at the level of the company, too bad.

@YTMario55901 @KazeEmanuar @NintendoAmerica Sorry you have to pay for bad emulation w/lag and rent DLC. I won’t be a sheep and pay what Nintendo is offering right now for their expansion service.

@NintendoAmerica Y'all wouldn't be bragging about your rom list down in the replies unless the N64 emulator had 0 problems, and the package was less than 50-ish :P instead demand Nintendo to fix this crap :V cuz this is blasphemous

Bugsnax is definitely a Nintendo-esk game. Not saying it’s good. But Nintendo gamers would give it more of a chance. Not a fan of FNAF. So didn’t pay attention. Kartrider Drift - Could be fun. Not enough gameplay scene to know. First Class Trouble - 3D Among Us…yeah… no.

@davidfayemiwo When you fix that voice. Holla at me. When you produce QUALITY and not Nintendo 64 Demo scrapped beats then maybe we can talk. Like I said once and I will say again. Do not address me.

@NintendoAmerica Please fix your online service. Games are great, but we NEED an update on overall service. Like Voice Chat should be available on all online play games.

@Fercho_OwO @NintendoAmerica Dear Nintendo This sucks ***. I own all the original nintendo 64 games so instead of buying your **** service I'm just going to emulator them. Have a nice ******* day. P.S. I'm canceling my Switch online membership.

@AliceMoon1877 @JoeMerrick If Apriballs were a prize for these competitons there would also be more interest since Nintendo never gave us a good legit way to get them in-game that didn’t have broken odds

@DripGodNevada Are you aware that free emulation of nintendo games actually runs them better than what nintendo makes you pay for?? Mother 3 3d all stars input lag paid subscriptions pokemon heartgold 150 dollars on ebay morally correct morally correct

@markl1109 @NintendoAmerica True. But those games costs a lot more. Plus the ****** online experience in some games, and, aparently, performance issues with the emulated games. If we're going to pay more we need MORE and BETTER online experience and quality performance on every game. The old nintendo seal.

I can’t believe how much Nintendo forked the N64 emulation. Frame rates down the toilet and controls not working. And this is what we get for a premium 50 bucks! Who let this release on its current state?!? Be better #Nintendo! #NINTENDO64 #Switch

@jtrooper6 and it's for this exact reason (that Nintendo has not done anything meaningful to fix special spam) that I fear that splatoon 3 will not be a big enough departure from this game's flawed design where special spam, often but not always, = wins

@NintendoAmerica Your terrible service isn't even worth $20, I'm not paying more than double for a few ancient, poorly emulated ROMs.

@NintendoAmerica lower the damn price ! you don't improve the service people will avoid buying and these games aren't worth double the extra price

(@nintendoenjoyer) reported
@ModernVintageG I was disgruntled by this video because you are a video game developer and yet you are giving a wink to people, encouraging them to emulate. Nintendo worked hard to get these games out, give them time. Don't encourage people to steal their games because of 2ms lag.

@GhostRobo @BeatemupsWood should i wait to buy the Nintendo Online Expansion pass and just buy the Animal Crossing DLC or should i hope they fix the emulation ? #NintendoSwitchOnline

@kirbolotl The fact that you aren't skipping frames tells me that it's more of an issue on the Nintendo server...

@NintendoAmerica I don't think this price is too high. I just think people feel that way because they were spoiled by the service's original price being too low.
