@Stario_HyDeff @Reecee_yt @NintendoAmerica I would simply prefer a “retro console” subscription separate from NSO, because then NSO could be cheaper on its own with online specific special perks. For example, owning the retro service as well as NSO enables online play on the retro service, exactly like how it is now.

@Sniper73737199 Nintendo does not make design "errors." Everything they add onto their characters is intentional, the art books show just how many iterations the idols go through before they decide on a final design.

@alcremie_gaming @NintendoAmerica its an issue of not using good game design to fix a simple problem of wanting the elements that give you that slight edge vs not looking like you ran through a clothes line. It's a super simple fix other games have figured out, Even Monster Hunter has to a degree, albeit limited

Nintendo Servers are about to be broken when Splatoon 3 drops. Mark my words.

@Eeconique @NintendoAmerica yeah and its still hoops to jump through for a simple design fix other games have figured out before, having a simple "equip this but visually wear this" function is a easer solution then paying in game currency and grinding out tickets to apply what you want to a hat you like.

@Nathan_Drake_1 @Nozhx88 To answer your question though... I thought I was clear in my explanation, Sony created the game but now they have a problem with it. All three platforms engaged in it at some point starting with Nintendo. Sony told them "hold my beer" in 94,and Xbox is saying it in 2022 to them.

@awesomelink234 @NintendoAmerica Honestly, it isn't as bad as last year when the Expansion Pack first launched, but Nintendo still can make some improvements to the service. It's slowly getting better tho.

It is with a heavy heart I announce that after almost 15 years of service, my Nintendo Wii has passed on. We had some good times. Rest In Peace Queen.

@McgonigleB Nintendo didn’t bank on genshin probably being groundbreaking and once it did I guess they didn’t care to bother the issue. They’re too busy attacking ppl who play on emulators LMFAO

@nron10 I talked to Nintendo customer service just yesterday because my kids couldn’t play the Mariokart DLC. Customer service gave me this direction, and I couldn’t decide whether it’s dumber I couldn’t figure it out or that they don’t just patch the game regardless of who has NSO.

Sony and Nintendo are far from perfect. They have countless issues that need to be fixed and/or improved. But they’re businesses. They make products and you pay for them. Xbox’s “Peace and love!” “We’re all friends!” 24/7 approach just bothers me.

@TheTohruAdachi Has the same problem as the Wii, with very few exceptions the only great games on it are developed/published by Nintendo

@Dubious_Disc yes its definitely something to be worth complaining about but my issue was the post wasnt "nintendo be like 'dont emulate' then forces us to keep rebuying/limited rerelease" it was "nintendo be like 'dont emulate' but you can only buy this game for $150" which is just wrong

@4ZZI3 @Fawfulthgreat64 @Reecee_yt But then again, he personally helped + Rabbids to be a thing, a game that had done many stuff current Nintendo wouldn't do in +200 years, like calling Peach a "badass princess." He's still at time to fix his mistakes, but only time will tell if he assumes that or not.

@fruit_newts @NintendoAmerica True. Should’ve put 3. The service was in Splat 2 as well. But if it functions the same way it’s still the first successor to miiverse making it number 2.

Splatoon is an interesting series that has potential and could really become more popular. The problem is that Nintendo doesn’t know how to properly make online or multiplayer in general. It always feels botched down and bare bones compared to other multiplayer games.
