@NintendoAmerica Nintendo is so far up their own *** that they'll actively put on random **** game instead of the game literally everyone has been requesting for years pirating should be legal if they don't provide the service which they refuse to do for some reason

@NintendoAmerica Wow it’s almost like their catering to a fan service that’s practically non existent.

@Wooystun_101 @NintendoAmerica .... this **** literally happened under Iwata dude. lmao Did you forget about Twilight Princess HD? or the tons of amiibo that had similar problems? And I don't think ever cared about any of what you said but about their profitability, even with Iwata.

@RukoTheWonder @NintendoAmerica "Just emulate if you don't own a PC 5Head" "You don't need a powerful PC to emulate 5Head" "If you don't have a PC are you even living 5Head" "Console players should emulate instead 5Head" "I like abusing service problems to my advantage and getting at corrupt companies 5head"

@Eizzah__ Also, no way in hell they'd just "take" a fan translation. On top of some probably very complicated legal issues with doing that, this is Nintendo we're talking about. They're too prideful to use fans' help.

tbh, if Earthbound is ever released on Nintendo Switch Online service I will try to get the first Switch Earthbound run ever.

@Somecallmejon Some additional job-specific equipment was added through the "legendary blacksmith" quest, but on the DS that required exchanging mail with other players of the game and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has been defunct since 2014. Later ports of the remake corrected that problem.

It's like Nintendo is bound and determined to put only games that you can get for 2 bucks at a flea market on the service. Yeesh

@NintendoAmerica This is why I have no interest in your online service. You have a library full of better games that you just refuse to release.

@NintendoAmerica They have no incentive to bring bigger titles to this service because people already have the Nintendo switch online the whole thing was created from the start to get people to find value in their online service.

(@Jorden1506) reported
Nintendo has a huge problem finding out how they want to use amiibo in one game it is such a small useless feature, the other is a big QoL feature just for owners. (Also R.I.P the Ghirahim and Fo amiibo dream)

@unpunny456 @JCeretor @NintendoAmerica “Charging actual money.” Uh, you do know you get a figurine out of this purchase, right? And forcing people to just ignore the feature if it were in the game is not a fix for this. Why do you think games generally don’t just ask if you want infinite ammo all the time?

@NoirePlatinum @mrpiggmin @NintendoAmerica I have a right to complain if the game is already full priced, and they're asking for $15 more to have a quality of life improvement that should be day one. One of this games major issues is the backtracking and the pace. Nintendo could just fix it, but instead they make you pay

@ReeceForces @Spoderguy2 @NintendoAmerica Even Amiibos that are rare in america can still be imported from Japan ,cheaplyso they cant technically sell out.Part of the problem in America is scalpers ruin things for everybody,they go in and buy all of the rare ones and sell them on ebay for 3 x the msrp

Jadon
(@JadonP45) reported
@SuperNerdLand The reasoning for this is that most of the games on the SNES Online service are either Nintendo first-party games or games that the IP holders no longer exist for or have a deal with. Most IP holders want to keep their old games for re-release on their own. Look at Capcom.

@Cryptic_TX55 I'm sure you will, but the issue is how many other will. Nintendo is not gonna go through the effort without being sure to make most of the money back

@NintendoAmerica They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel by only releasing Jaleco & Data-East games when they could be putting Earthbound, Mario RPG & Earthworm Jim onto the service
-
Echoes
(@yottoresan) reported
@drucified Nagata said it’s unlikely the games will get released again. This doesn’t really have anything to do with Nintendo of America, since it seems to be occurring on a Japanese level with 1 and 2 not being on the Online service there either.

@NintendoAmerica Why are you locking quality of life features behind a paywall of a plastic figure that will end up in a landfill in 15 years? Fix this.

@red_5433 @capriel_asevedo @NintendoAmerica What? Mario party for the old virtual consoles worked fine. You could just plug in a play with a GameCube controller just fine with the Wii. No one in our group had issues with controls. And I just listed a few examples before, I could go on with more games it’s just redundant

And Nintendo really ain't any better when they say "bah piracy and emulation is a problem" when they do the bare minimum to provide their legacy content to the people that want it. So if they ain't giving ****, we download ****.

@JonComms @BingBongArcher You know there’s something wrong with the service when even Nintendo own games aren’t being added.
