@OakPoison @DragaliaLostApp Not unless Nintendo and CyberAgent work out their problems. I'm hopeful that they can and one day revisit this IP, though.

@Psnjellybelly @TatataToddC @ZhugeEX As for Sony and Nintendo, they can't do what Microsoft does because they don't have the capital. Growing a Netflix style subscription service requires serious bleeding for many years before you're in the black. Neither is capable of that as they rely heavily on gaming income.

@MldGhost @OfficialXboxU The title of the fake slide is "Western games service consumer spending". Not monthly all you can game services. PS+ and Nintendo Direct are services.

I have a problem :Ic I need to make a call to Nintendo America since we have no local Nintendo office in my country, and my English-language account is based in the USA but I probably need to find someone in the USA to call for me, or find a way to call here without costing $$$

@MontySeelana @TheArtGun Using a Pokémon avatar on a Nintendo or Pokémon focused channel is likely fine. Misrepresentation of ownership is the biggest issue. Their audience likely isn't going to conflate who's the owner of the Pokémon, so its less of an issue to use that in your branding

@Fawfulthgreat64 Ehhh I think it’s smart to take on new and bold ideas. If some of them fell flat (no pun intended) then Nintendo can learn from those mistakes. The issue isn’t the attempt at new games within old series, rather the grow the the company doesn’t make AFTER the fact.

@MMajik322 @MultiSuperGP @OfficialXboxU Nintendo Online* and PS + are memberships to permit players the opportunity to play online. even tho they offer free games, they aren't like GamePass. it's y PS has its own games service in PS Now, which is obviously not as popular as GamePass

Nintendo not using a monolithic cloud service for their multiple eShops is dumb. Why not support older consoles and get additional revenue. If they’re so concerned about piracy this would fix it. It would also be cheaper than maintaining five different eShop server softwares.

@xMBGx The only way Ill be getting Spartachs is if it has a library of ps1 and ps2 games to download. Like the ps3 not ps4’s library of classics. Im not intersted in gamepass service but more like the nintendo service

@RespectElves I liked the interface better, eShop was better, Wii support, sensor bar prevented gyroscope drift when aiming. Also, I liked having a second screen. I think the biggest issue with the Wii U wasn't the system it was how Nintendo handled it.

@CaptainGhost007 @LeaderBunni So I worked at Walmart and that was just a problem with Nintendo games specifically. I think it was more of an issue on Nintendos end than walmart. But they have to put the tag out when they reset the cases.

@rural_cloud84 Been after one for so long 🥺 I think they had to stop making them due to licensing issues. You can get Super Nintendo and Game Boy ones still.

@alemvera1 This was two Dualsense controllers that had the rubber worn off and the one stick started drifting. I sent them in and they didn't send me a bill or anything. We'll see how it goes! Sony is usually awesome. I've not owned enough Nintendo to need service, but it's nice to hear!

@FootballManager Hi Lads, Got the FM22 Touch for the Nintendo Switch. I was half way through an actual match and then application closes stating an error has occurred. This has happened around 3 times today already. Are you aware of this? Its extremely frustrating.

@XcloudTimdog Nothing can beat gamepass. 15€ for day 1 release and quality 3rd party games all year. I think Sony may fumble this one specially if they make paying extra to play old ps1,2, 3 games. Let see if their offer will be more consumer friendly than horrible new service from nintendo

@ShePeachy It's too bad Nintendo is incompetent with this sort of stuff. With cloud saves this wouldn't be an issue but for some reason most Switch games don't even allow for cloud saving...even though it's a feature you have to pay for with the Switch Online subscription. I'd be so pissed.

If you hack a Switch Lite, you can play emulators on it. Maybe I will look up how to do that someday for the GameCube games and possibly Super Nintendo + Nintendo 64 games, which I'm having trouble getting to work.

@DezDog5 the only game I can play is on the Nintendo 64 because i don't have strong enough wifi to use any other console but it's so old it's not working

@xMBGx Important thing to note though is that with a service you don’t have to buy the game. There are lots of fantastic PlayStation1/2 games that I would like to play but don’t have or can’t find anymore. Same issue Nintendo ran into. Xbox had it easier debuting in DVD its 1st gen.

@mjmayerhofer @XboxInfinite117 Game pass + gold, or Game Pass Ultimate, plus a PlayStation sub, plus a nintendo service(online) every month is more than buying 1 game every 2-4 months. There are sales, and even then, not all of your games are guaranteed for that subscription. It’s a risk that I don’t like.
