@pixaldustt Aa nooo but theyre releasing a subscription service that allows us to play old nintendo 64 games and stuff

@XinguIarity no, it's certainly not hardware limitations. Nintendo has put out stunning games on much worse hardware. N64, Gamecube, Wii, all have much better 3D art going on in their mainline games. The only two options are crunch or laziness, and we already know crunch is a problem there.

Covering events like the Nintendo Direct live is like taking drugs. It’s a chaotic rush of adrenaline where you move and think insanely fast then crash so hard you want to die when it’s over…not that I’ve ever taken drugs or anything

How are we. How are we feeling after this direct. Biggest bummer had to be Nintendo Switch Online putting N64 games up another price tier. I love N64 games. I’d gladly buy Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 again; but NSO has problems and upping the price for N64 won’t solve them

@mr_chun I have seen this common sentiment, happy for peeps! I think I am out of step with nintendo fans at this point, this feels like a me problem not a general people's problem.

Because it’s gonna be twenty games that everyone knows and 50% Nintendo, and there are going to be supply issues and this company doesn’t learn how to do this **** properly. What happened to Sony after the PSX mini? I guess that tanked, but really, the lineup wasn’t strong enough

i do think its ****** to make everyone pay extra for nintendo online's n64/mega drive library considering that the online service itself is....not great

This mario movie stuff is just to distract you from the fact that nintendo want you to pay more to play N64 and Megadrive games, as if the existing service was worth the subscription.

I just went through the trouble of buying the parts and repairing my 3DS so I could replay Ocarina of Time and Nintendo goes and puts it on Switch for free.

i should be happy and excited about star fox 64 and the 3d zeldas and hopefully a bunch of sick genesis games on the go but i have a ******* bad taste in my mouth being asked to pay more for a GARBAGE online service just so i can have that. go **** yourself nintendo

(@Lazy_Venusaur) reported
@TheRedScaledMan @NintendoUK The problem is that the base subscription is already bad and when they finally add something to the online it's behind a new pay wall

If anyone wants my thoughts on Nintendo's stuff today... Maybe fix your borderline theft of an online service before you even so much as dare think about charging more for that crap, okay? TURN-BASED GOLF LAGS. Dial-up did that better! Get out of the early 2000s. That is all.

@VibeOfNewVegas Well you see, Nintendo Switch Online is such a quality service that flawlessly plays lag free games they couldn't just add all this extra 25 year old value of already fan emulated content for FREE That would be just crazy.

@tomathius @NintendoAmerica not only charge $50 for controllers that shouldn't cost anywhere near that much, but also lock them behind the pay wall. If they want to have the VC and a Game Pass like model for games with free online that's no issue. [2]

@gruber 1. “Up to two wireless controllers can connect to a Nintendo Switch system while using Bluetooth audio. You will not be able to pair additional wireless controllers until you disconnect the Bluetooth audio device.”

(@TheIanSiegel) reported
The Expansion Pack for NSO is a stupid idea, NSO already struggles as a service to justify its worth to consumers, locking more classic games behind an extra paywall doesn’t help. That's just greed from Nintendo

Gamers be like: Call of Duty is getting old and tired, we want changes! Take a year off! Gamers also be like: NINTENDO DIRECT?! Time to get overly excited & hyped mediocre titles, recycled game concepts, and lack of product oversight in the design that they will never fix!

this is not a compliment to nintendo. the ability to play games online should not be a subscription service

@IGN I only subscribed to there service for Super Mario 35, and they took that away. This should be included with the service that switch already has. @NintendoAmerica @nintendo #SuperMario #NintendoDirect #videogames

@eruben_thillior make your online service better, nintendo, then i'll be happy to pay the extra for n64.. but as is, i'm disappointed. 😔

@Gameonysus For real, especially at the rate they trickle out games and the abysmal state of the service in general. @NintendoAmerica can kick rocks if they think they’re getting more money out of me

@Cr1ms0n_lus7 they could, but the issue is mainly that Nintendo doesn't give a **** about Diddy Kong Racing probably

Finlay
(@finlayjrcm) reported
@arms_tips @NintendoAmerica Or they could just let people buy games that are easily downloaded and emulated individually instead of locking them behind an extortionate (for the abysmal amount of benefits you get) subscription service in the first place 😔

(@SinisterPixeLP) reported
@Grail12013 @h4furi @NintendoAmerica Yes, for a service which is barely functional. This would be justifiable if they said "btw we got some experts in to look at our netcode and optimise our servers. so expect big improvements to NSO to follow in October!" But they didn't, and I still can't play SSBU properly

Opinion on Nintendo Direct: -That Kirby game looks fking good -MH DLC might bring me back to it -That new Nintendo Online service seems a bit much, I may skip it -The Mario movie cast looks amazing, EXCEPT for the main fking character which now I may not see it at all

lastly, its a low blow, but online sucks. ive gotten used to playing with lag spikes. nintendo has admitted to not planning on implementing better netcode, so its not going to be better.

@NintendoAmerica Can someone explain to me why, when I go on my computer, sign in to my Nintendo account to buy the super Nintendo wireless controller. It says that I have to have a active Nintendo switch online subscription? When do on my switch? Email and password are the same

The only thing that worries me about Bayonetta 3 is that Nintendo can't be assed to make a console with decent hardware, so I'm hoping the Switch can keep up with the amount of action going on. Like. There's good stuff on Switch that just have *** framerate issues.
