Decided against upgrading my subscription service to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. If I'm focusing on weight loss, eventually getting a job and trying to date, I don't think I'd have enough time to make $50/year really worth it.

@Mrorange303 @Alejandroid1979 Yes but only if the service is popular enough. Like Xbox & Nintendo, PS makes money off of every single 1st & 3rd party game sold so they have reoccurring revenue every month anyways. Since PS sells the most games they reap the financial rewards which a 20M sub service cant match

@GamingSinceNES Clearly plans changed. I don’t see the issue with PS games on PC years after console release. I wish Nintendo would do the same…

@ponzudgement R.O.B. was how Nintendo was able to get the NES in households in the first place, due to stores not trusting games after the 1983 Video Game Crash

@___Zei___ Yeah. Too bad Nintendo will never listen since they’re Nintendo. Rip. At least with FD there’s Omegas. And yeah Lylat makes me physically ill too, an issue I don’t have with those other four since Lylat is that unnatural with its movement. Hopefully mods can get rid of movement.

@Brenden060 The only issue is that your statement? Kind of a stupid reason to not consider it when in the context of my actual Tweet. Nintendo wouldn't "ignore" Sonic if they made games for SEGA because SEGA would still be the owner of the IP. Just let Nintendo make the games. Easy. Win.

Hello, Mr. Edwards
(@hellomredwards) reported
@PlayStationSnap @Jckspacy @PlayStation The problem is you're treating a multimillion dollar company as if it's your best friend or something. Sony is a business, they're in it to make money, & they realized they could make more on PC. Hell, Nintendo could've saved itself in the Wii U era if their games were multiplat.

PC gaming is actually the WORST for me. It's always so much input lag, and problems with apps. This is horrendous. Nintendo has issues, but at least I can always peacefully play my games without so many issues

(@SweetieLandtica) reported
@randomnesquick I have no problems with the JRPG characters and that they are too many and each one has their reasons for being. Nintendo was the one who ultimately chose them and if for some reason the requested characters such as Crash or Rayman are not there it is due to negotiation problems.

@thetruebowser Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber needs to be added for the Nintendo Switch Online Expanded Service. I'll pay the upgrade fee, if you can get Square Enix to share it.

@alvinpants Nintendo feels so bad about it and are trying to help, but it's going to take some higher ups to try to fix this, if at all.

@SamusHunter2 @GameOverJesse If we see a multiplayer aspect to BOTW2, no doubt Nintendo would make it usable only with the NSO+EXP service

@triggerpigart @VieHadEnough @ReiwaHolmes_ same problem with botw where Nintendo also flatout refused to give the VAs ANY proper context for each scene (they confirmed it themselves, mfers didn't even know they were working for a Zelda game)

@dreaminerryday I’ve been super lucky. I’ve had my switch since launch and no issues. I’m sorry you are. I heard it can be annoying to fix and it’s so pricey to get new ones. Nintendo should sell single ones too. 🙄🙄

I’m not sure how to feel about the Nintendo Online Service expansion pricing. Yes, when you do the math, all of those games are cheaper to be purchased as a bundle. That’s still a large chunk of change. I expected $20 more AT MOST.

@Finallyfree973 @writersflood You're right, it took Nintendo about 3 - 3.5 years to sell the roughly 45 million units it took to outsell the xbox one family. But then they upped production and doubled since June of 2020 until now at roughly 90 million. Initial issues were limited production capability.

(@GreatGreninja) reported
I don't understand why people say Nintendo switch online "sucks", I've only had a couple of games get lag or have connection issues (smash bros ultimate and super Mario Maker 2 being the ones). As someone with ****** connection I've played other switch games online just fine.

@GameHistoryOrg It was listed in Nintendo Power for order next to the back issue list for years. Always wanted to get it and the Zelda one.

Nintendo at his helm has taken their most ridiculous corporate decisions, plus, they apparently don't allow any fan works of their characters or franchises, but have no problem being repeatedly treated as the worst garbage ever (by their own fans, no less!).

Happy Home Paradise is $25 bucks for the extra expansion but if you're paying $50 a year (minimum package fee) for Nintendo switch online + Expansion Pack it's "free." You are losing money after one year of this service :|

UPDATE: I was able to find the charger for the black Nintendo DSi that belongs to my sister. Unfortunately, my blue Nintendo DSi is broken and no longer functioning since my brother accidentally dropped it while running around when he was three years old.

@Black_D_Gamer1 I know, but there was a lot more problems even Developers had problems trying to communicate with Nintendo. Third Party was ignore for a year they only manage to get support for indie games for there Store and that was it.
