A theory: once Nintendo substantially expands their profits beyond games - more merch, movies, theme parks, cartoons, etc. - they will offer a streaming service with *most* of their back catalog able to stream for a decent price every month.

@RisenScorpio Nah the kids 12 hours after launch of New Warzone map, which is beautiful, saying the game is garbage and broken because the 150 person battle royale server was having some errors. Try growing up with Super Nintendo then tell me the games garbage lmao. Whiny *******

@thatoldgamerguy Nintendo. It's not about sales, it's not about meaningless corporate tech buzzwords or "my plastic box is better than yours." There's some toxic bullshit in there for sure and entitlement issues but for the most part they're at least about the games.

@faggy_dyke @churlfriend it's just the cost of Nintendo's online service lol it's not like there's a cost per visit. since i basically stopped playing smash bros. as well, we stopped paying for it

@JayStayVibin @CotBonsoles I’m almost 99.9% sure this is what is keeping them afloat. They have to make people pay for their service to get a next-gen console, and then scalp their members when they drop. They up charged the Nintendo OLED by $30 last week.

@NintendoAmerica Alright now bring Tooie and I'll think about getting the service. Fix the online and the OoT emulation and I'll get it in a heartbeat.

@nickYETII @PlumeDude @NintendoAmerica Well I'm not sure what the problem is. I used Project 64 and it was terrible. Computer is in really bad shape right now too.

We recently pushed out patch 4.0.1, which fixes the crash that PS5 and Nintendo Switch players were seeing when trying to launch the game in Performance Mode. Please relaunch the game and let us know if this fix works for you!

@OathkeeperLexi exactly this may have been an issue in the 90s but w Cloud gaming becoming more accessable, not to mention the 10th gen Nintendo console likely being a fair bit more powerful the statement doesnt work LOL

@bohne_enrique @PlumeDude @NintendoAmerica You are supporting a ****** service that is literally made to suck money from any person that would buy it

@KoushiroIzumi @SentaiParadox Knowing Nintendo, I don't see them doing GCgames at all, even though they really should. I hope that they do, but I think that's the generation where they'd start to consider it too valuable to just "give away" on a streaming service. I want, but do not actually expect GC and Wii

@Elementalisman @NintendoAmerica $15 a month for ultimate, with an actual live service included and 100+ games, over $50 a year for poorly emulated 20 year old games. I’ll take game pass any day

@JonathanJagmin @mobiletortoise @Stealth40k I dont think Nintendo has ever said anything about NSO being a "family-oriented service" and wouldnt put M rated games on there. Thats what Family controls are for.

It feels like Nintendo isn't in that fun state it once was with all these recent issues it just makes you think more about the issues that always existed with Nintendo like their strict usage of ips and it just make me not wanna deal with Nintendo till things change...

@NintendoAmerica hello why the heck does crossplay on minecraft not work whatsoever, after trying every solution. Or is this a problem on microsofts end cause we‘ve been trying for weeeks

@krusty_132 @NintendoAmerica $80 is for the family pack which means per person you're paying less than the regular tier. Ppl also really be talking like this is the only game on the service or like the $35 tier doesn't exist

@SeeinNarnia @NintendoAmerica As a consumer spending money, you should expect more from a company this size. Don't let them get away with less than the bare minimum just because you're a fan; it is not entitled or wrong of gamers to want more of this barebones service.

@NintendoAmerica Awesome! Maybe work on lowering your price and I'll check it out. Your service is not worth what your competitors charge.

@LubbaSMG2 @NintendoAmerica The reality is the N64 doesn’t have that many games man, they gotta make this service last through the switches life cycle

@GAMEandRODO64 @mr_evaporation I dont know, i prefer Sony because they can share Crash Ip like the MLB Baseball game or Microsoft, if Nintendo buy it, Crash will be a Nintendo exclusive

Anyone know the easiest way to fix the RB button on an Xbox Elite 2 controller? (and y’all have nintendo grief for joy-con drift geez).

@NintendoAmerica I would be more hyped if this was Virtual Console, the NSO games service feels like renting a game and return it a year later... I prefer owning it forever

@toxic__skulls @StanVioletE @NintendoAmerica While it is exciting to see Banjo-Kazooie back on a Nintendo console, I'm still not getting this service as the problems and the pricing have NOT been fixed or addressed. I'm not supporting this $50 price at all and the emulation problems are not helping

@DpknappKnapp @NineOnLB @NintendoAmerica Daniel idk what their problem is but last I read they were gonna release it sometime after the dlc comes out. Granted that was a long time ago so idk if the plans the same

394 n64 games released, how many of them did nintendo get the license for and how long did they want this expansion service to last before they go to the next one? Theres your answer as to why we're getting one n64 game per month.
