@TheArblessed @Defarius69 @Metalfan26 But yes. I do prefer PC. I'm okay with Nintendo, Xbox and PS are crap with their online service. I use a computer for all my third party games, and a switch for all the first party games. I'm honestly not locked out of that much. Very few PS and Xbox exclusives I want

@PhoenixHero98 @Actually_Tina "I vaguely remember we had some communication issues. This is why I told everyone on a podcast that you bombarded nintendo with heated e-mails and dumped the game without consulting anyone."

@Mattness8 @RoombaLoo @TheOwnerOfSock Nintendo should be the ones grateful that they even have people paying for their service which a lot of people don't seem to like. They aren't ungrateful, it's more of disappointed that Nintendo are not using the service to it's full potential.

@Mattness8 @KitKatisWeird7 @TheOwnerOfSock Ungrateful?! We’re paying for the service! And it’s not worth the price. It may be cheap but it certainly deserves more than the half assed effort it has received especially when you see effort NiNtendo has put into anything online based. It’s a joke.

@KevinKenson I completely understand. But years ago when I tried to tell peeps the benefits of Nintendo trying real physical media, people had an issue with it. I just saw this coming from a mile away.

@Metalfan26 This is a major problem with Nintendo. They have a sorta good deal, but it’s not good enough to the point where it can lead people indecisive as hell. Online: Same ****** online as before when it was free, buuuuut, 20 bucks and free retro games

But that is entirely the problem. Nintendo and Pokemon Co have never announced these games. Not once. Youtubers have promised them. Then fans get mad at nintendo when these games arent announced.

@Minifig81 @TheOwnerOfSock Nintendo uses peer 2 peer. They literally do not spend a SINGLE ******* penny on “servers” or anything that would cost a subscription. ******* SONIC FANGAMES have had free online master servers for YEARS now that run 100x better than Nintendo’s online service.

@HazzadorGamin Of course people say it is , Nintendo has proven they have banger exclusives and people will happily buy it , xbox has not proven that yet as of right now they still have a massive AAA exclusive problem.

@TheBigaCheesey @Skissor_ I don't think they were in the DLC, but in the first story mode. I think you can get them from Salmon Run too. I got a lot of them because I abused a glitch at the beginning of the game, but shh, don't say it to Nintendo

@apricatpudding Admittedly more than Nintendo‘s service. But you get free games every month

A lot of people are missing the point of why Switch Online shouldn’t be a paid for service. Online service from Nintendo has always (and should continue to be) free. The Virtual Boy’s library is much more expansive than the S/NES library. The Nintendo line of products has always

@Metalfan26 I don't have a problem with it being a paid service, but good god Nintendo, give us more content than 4 roms every month. People wil gladly pay if you give us access to your entire retro library.

@intravisuuaL @TheOwnerOfSock Is it really only $20 a year? I don’t keep up with Nintendo at all since I don’t have a switch but if people are complaining over a yearly fee of $20 for online play and emulated classic Nintendo games then I think it’s fair. If it had been monthly then I could see the problem.

I don't see how people can argue that Nintendo Switch Online is worth the price when literally a few months ago we learned the service they used for Online was 10 years old and had a Windows 98 check

@Steelix41 @DPPt_Shitpost It’s a mix of issues between The Pokémon Company rushing GF so they can sell merch, in combination with GF’s laziness. But for the #1 highest grossing media franchise in the world, I can’t excuse this behavior. These games should be on par with the rest of Nintendo’s big hitters

This is not Nintendos or pokemon cos fault or problem. This is a consistent and blatant misinformation driven by entitlement from specific "content creators" and I get people have a right to be disppointed but aim that disappointment at the youtubers who lied, not nintendo.

In short, Nintendo has never required a pay for internet service, they never should have developed it, and the “perks” that come with it are laughable. I never even knew I had the S/NES package until after I ended my Switch Online service.

Funny how since upgrading my internet equipment and speed, and even having a service tech visit, my internet is even worse. Haven't been able to connect to Nintendo Online for days on top of all the other issues. Seriously, I just want to jump into a canyon and disappear.

@Metalfan26 I'll agree with this, when people stop making it a nintendo issue. Nintendo charges like 20 bucks a year maintains their own servers for all games. Sony/Micro charges 40 every few months and only provides servers for first party titles, everyone else is on their own.
