North American Genesis Phazon
(@Phazonmsher) reported
I guess Nintendo ran out of interesting NES/SNES releases they could realistically release on their Switch online service so now you're gonna get *checks notes* Prehistorik Man.

@Cringecastgay @NintendoAmerica First off I spelt the word prehistoric based on the spelling of the game did you not look at any of the game titles? LOL secondly that’s the correction that auto typing did for Misspell Forgetting a space is hardly a spelling error

@ForceinUnison Hopefully Sony won't say there no problem like Nintendo but will see, I will monitor my controller

@HomeMade_Indie Nintendo needs to build better tools or partner with a middleware developer to make it possible for smaller studios to make games with less resource investment. Much like Sony did with PS3 when they were having third party trouble.

@TheFantasticIan @NintendoAmerica Square's likely the issue with SMRPG, they have no games on the service at all as of now Earthbound is totally on Nintendo though

@NintendoAmerica How does anyone see this and say Hm yes I will subscribe to this service

@TheSmashToons I think i read in an article that a lot of third party developers aren't on board with their retro games being on the service because Nintendo doesn't want to pay them any money (hence why there's a double dragon & kunio-kun collection now)

Oh this moth be in love
(@Oshamoff) reported
@cleveru16605923 As opposed to a bunch of other games on the service being owned by companies other than Nintendo ? That's such a flimsy excuse.

Mfs really acting like Nintendo adding games no one knows to switch online is the worst thing they’ve done lmao they don’t focus on the real issues

@HYP3R10NC0RP Huh, I get no lag whatsoever on it. It runs perfectly fine for me. I've never tried the online stuff though and I know Nintendo has horrible servers from experience, so that probably lags like hell.

@NintendoAmerica Like i get that these games may be fun and i haven't played them so maybe they could be my new favorites and ive just never played them But i find it weird that Nintendo just isn't putting out well known games for this service

@RetroWyZe i thought RETROwyze of all people would be excited about nintendo adding more retro games to the switch. like why are you complaining about them adding more free games to their service? just don’t play them????? i seriously can’t understand the hate here

@ShaunMusgrave That's why I didn't say, say, Final Fantasy 6, but Chrono is something that seems to be pretty ****** dead so... anyway I think Nintendo letting all this crap onto the service probably doesn't help, who'd want their games next to that.

@Kanzuki_ @Wario64 Nintendo DID publish 2 Japanese only games to the Switch Service already and SMT1 DOES have an English an official English release. (An outdated iOS app) Like Fire Emblem they likely don't think we would like playing an RPG in a language we can't understand.

@NintendoAmerica They be planning to do something with the other well know snes games but their might also be licensing issues

@Doctor_Cupcakes tbh I like that nintendo finds obscure or lesser known stuff for this service. could probably do with less crappy fighting games tho.

Going to be wild when Switch 2 comes out and Nintendo reboots their subscription service so you have to beg for Prehistorik Man all over again.

Even tho that NSO announcement is trash, Nintendo kinda announced a lot today. Crash 4, overcooked NSO trial, and more games. Nothing crazy exciting but still interesting it was all in one day

@TheBY2K Publishers would rather release those games on their own, hence why Nintendo isn’t putting anything major on the service besides their own content. With all the collections released these days I thought this was pretty obvious.

@NintendoAmerica Yous better be getting on with those Gameboy and N64 Emulations this year or there's gonna be trouble

@red_fallguy I know that getting licenses for certain games are hard but if Nintendo wants people to use this service they gotta start putting out game that people want to play on there

@Fawfulthgreat64 @NintendoAmerica I just want VC back, not this subscription nonsense. I just want to buy games and own them. I just want N64, GBA, and GB games at this point. I know that GC and Wii would have issues even though I want them so fine, but those former 3 didn't have many issues.

does anyone else have issues with their bank every time their Nintendo subscription rolls over because it happens every single month to me

@NintendoAmerica I'm not gonna be one of those people complaining about no Earthbound, or lack of other consoles. But I do gotta say this is the weakest list of games I've ever seen released on this service. None of these look very appealing at all, and I've never heard of a single one of them

@Baronduki @NintendoAmerica I wish people would try out other things instead of complaining what the service doesn’t have. LOL.
