  • singleplayer33 ZuluAlphaCharlieHotel (@singleplayer33) reported

    @NopNapNarp @SkillUpYT Nintendo release games day one on their service?

  • JoeyGhost Mad Tech Ghost | VTuber (Debate TBA)| #AdvantageGG (@JoeyGhost) reported

    @Plun_Yu @NintendoAmerica Poor Yuyu, my bro got heart broken real bad this time

  • FullNameXtian Outsider For Life 🇵🇭 (@FullNameXtian) reported

    I actually appreciate it when a company confirms delaying the release of a game. Whether it's marketing or more testing is needed I'm not trying to be hyped over a game that crash and burns on launch though we seen this with Cyberpunk. #nintendo #botw2

  • GameGodZER0 CrescentShadow (@GameGodZER0) reported

    @ChelmeyP @NintendoAmerica Wow that's actually pretty cool I should actually upgrade Crash

  • NVKovu Kovu Stormbreaker (he/they)🔞🌻 (@NVKovu) reported

    @TaxBeast Regardless, I agree that this whole “games as a service” subscription model should be thrown out the window. Nintendo’s the worst about vehemently protecting their IPs and cashing in on them like this, but it’s been pushing everything toward a new industry standard and it sucks.

  • Riddimz4 IamRiddimz (@Riddimz4) reported

    Which subscription service would you choose? #XboxGamePass #PlayStationPlus #Nintendo

  • ahremic The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest (@ahremic) reported

    @LonelyGoomba its not even wrong but its evidence of nintendo going through some production issues lol

  • MarcTech1996 Marc (@MarcTech1996) reported

    @cubandeathryder @ajamesa1982 @Zalker87 The fact that they make more money by selling them directly. Microsoft licensing those games for Game Pass is a big reason they came to the Xbox in the first place. Now it’s also on the Switch and you don’t see Nintendo adding them to the Switch Online Service.

  • godzilladad Bobby Edwards (@godzilladad) reported

    @Crusader3456 @ZhugeEX I stream my Nintendo games on Switch. What's the problem?

  • daddalous daddalous (@daddalous) reported

    @NintendoAmerica While it sucks that it's delayed, I'm glad they are focusing on improving the game rather than releasing something broken. Take your time guys. I've got plenty of other games to play anyway.

  • LegoSkeletor Ian (@LegoSkeletor) reported

    @BombosMedallion @stopmrdomino The service is exactly what I expected. An attempt to get people onboard with PSNow by making it a cheaper value add service. It's just Nintendo Network w/a bit more stuff.

  • Galaxygamerone Daniel Brennan (@Galaxygamerone) reported

    @c0pper78 @GameRiotArmy People don’t have an issue with Nintendo not doing it with Nintendo Online, why does Sony have to follow Microsoft.

  • XaiaX Jason Waterfalls ̆̈ (@XaiaX) reported

    @KnightAttack09 @mudron I don’t have a problem with Nintendo’s approach to “make well designed games and then don’t discount them basically ever” Also don’t get me wrong I ranted about how f’n stupid MS was with the xbone, making basically every wrong decision they possibly could.

  • BengeDrinking Benjamin Frey Hesse (@BengeDrinking) reported

    @NintendoAmerica Half of my brain: Yes, don't rush perfection. Imagine Arceus had another year of development? Maybe pokemon would actually be able to flap their wings without lag lmao. Zelda is ALWAYS perfection, take your time Other half of my brain: NOOOOO, I WANT IT NOW, GIVE IT TO ME

  • donkston Donkston (@donkston) reported

    @Mbtoon05 @verge Because it's always been Nintendo's philosophy: Don't ship until it's actually ready. Others delay by a month or two, which isn't enough time to fix issues that warrant delays in the first place - so a game gets delayed but still broken on release. Nintendo ships finished games.

  • _MokoChoco_ MokoChoco (@_MokoChoco_) reported

    So i left. My service took so much from me. Although I do not regret it and will encourage anyone to serve for X amount of time, it is something that I will never do again, or stay. This has been a stark difference to my experience here at Nintendo, I love the mission-

  • lemonadepikachu 🔞Squeezeable lemons (Comms are open but slow) (@lemonadepikachu) reported

    nintendo wants to delay this game a bit longer i don't see the problem

  • WhiteMageJenny Jennifer "Cleared Savage" Knight🔞 (@WhiteMageJenny) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers @ModernVintageG Yeah, its up to the billion dollar company to issue DMCAs against those preserving the games in order to prevent the preservation of said games.... *Cries in Nintendo*

  • InKDexpereince INKD (@InKDexpereince) reported

    @Rikpizza1 @CanibalSuicune2 Yeah its only Nintendo that isnt. Granted they should have a better service for there old game like Virtual Console, but they said they want to do soemthing stupid and we cant change that.

  • tododiaedeviver o elden ringos (@tododiaedeviver) reported

    @sezarplayer @ChelmeyP @NintendoAmerica That's Time Crash, which is the evolved form of Crash

  • TheMonghy Monghy (@TheMonghy) reported

    @PopoBoyyo I guess they saw Nintendo tie emulation to their subscription service and they went "Genius" I’m so tired of **** like this man 💀

  • RavenKarp Raven Karp (@RavenKarp) reported

    @MldGhost The only reason I still support Playstation is their the only ones besides the obvious Nintendo still releasing exclusives worth playing and Xbox is too busy holding their community against there abdomen with their O face in full service.

  • obi7199 Obi7199 (@obi7199) reported

    @NintendoAmerica I was kinda disappointed to see this news, but they need to improve what's broken or the aspect of the game that they to be put it in to great. Games that were planned to release in 2022 were delayed or in TBA for a various reason, but wait if it's ready.

  • GruesomeGlenn GruesomeGlenn (@GruesomeGlenn) reported

    @BioAssassin88 If they’re not exclusive to the service Nintendo style then I’ll be buying them instead of the premium service lol, save money just owning them

  • ziggybull Ziggy, Tabletop Taurus (@ziggybull) reported

    Yeah so the Nintendo announcement was BotW2 is delayed a year but that new clip with the broken Master Sword is tantalizing. With the Skyward Sword remaster is it time to speculate Demise has escaped?

  • Onidoujii 🕸🦇Oni🦇🕸 (@Onidoujii) reported

    @bweezybird @StayTriggered25 @YaBoyRoshi Look dude I'm fairly certain Nintendo knows what they are doing. If they were to release that **** now Elden Ring would be a huge problem for them. So many people are already comparing it to BOTW's openworld and saying the second game couldn't match it.

  • sul7f sul7f (@sul7f) reported

    @SagamiSword_ @cori_cori_cori_ Licensing issues 💀, kinda like why Nintendo isn’t selling old Roms, but rather locking them behind subscription on Switch

  • SaezXavier Xavier Saez 🇵🇷 (@SaezXavier) reported

    @MightyKeef @NintendoAmerica fix trash dungeons and boss fights.

  • Halpando1990 DoYouBelieveInMilkAndCookies (@Halpando1990) reported

    @anagingpunk @jcmanke I wasnt referring to nintendo releasing broken games, but a certian other, alleged AAA company *CoughEACough* *coughbrokengamefunctions* *coughMyWrddingStories*

  • gaming123456 Mr. gaming Assumption (@gaming123456) reported

    @Swat9ver_die @Nibellion It says PS3 games are cloud. Whereas PS1, PS2, and PSP are downloadable. But still locked behind a service. I guess by that definition even Microsoft and even Nintendo don't have it. Cuz my dumb brain just remembered how expensive consoles are in other countries. Sorry about that
