@mcsquiddies I'd love if Nintendo just made the online function free and instead served a retro gamepass. I would pay $50 if we had a gamepass service with NES all the way up to Gamecube. Also why are cloud saves a paid feature? Even Xbox gives free cloud saves.

@OrigiGreatness It will try to be on everything. Bigger companies i.e. Apple/Google may try to make it more complicated for Microsoft, but small dogs like Sony/Nintendo pose no threat to MS creating consoles. Microsoft is investing hugely on this service so profitability in the future inevitable

@Jubiijubi @TheUncleAlShow What my argument is the service is charging a similar price to other services that are just better in every regard in the first place. And only for 10$ extra you’re better off just paying for those rather then Nintendo’s 50$ plan.

@SkriIIaT Killing the console so that the service can go on PS and Nintendo is access to way more users than the console will ever provide.

@MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 He does have history with Nintendo though. The same at Sonic did. Crash acted as a rival to Mario during the N64/PS1 console war.

Holy ****, wait a minute, Nintendo *doubled* the price of their ****** online service to pay Sega licensing fees for their games when there is already a Genesis collection available on Switch for $30? That is ******* bonkers. Why would anyone give them money for this?

@SkriIIaT Consoles is directly against the core of GP. Services like Netflix are successful because they are everywhere. The existence of the consoles is making Sony and Nintendo not want to accept GP because it's a service from a competitor.

@Jubiijubi @TheUncleAlShow What I’m saying is Nintendo online is notorious for being unreliable and laggy as hell, next it’s still the same service just jacked up to an unreasonable price with additions that aren’t worth it. And acting like them being late to the party is an excuse isn’t a valid argument.

@DolimiccanDerg @BenjiSales The library is just okay at best, that's the problem. If Nintendo actually made games of their past quality and standards, then maybe I could let some of their bullshit slide but they don't even do that anymore.

@NintendoUK I am trying to set up my debit card on my Nintendo switch lite but it's not working and therefore I cannot buy anything on the eshop. My card is fine and works for everything else in my life, just not my Nintendo switch lite for some reason? Please help!

@SMS_8bit @NordiiTW @NintendoCanada My wife and I own a 64 with all the games we like. And the Genesis collection is $30 on switch. I'm sure some people will pay no problem. For myself. It's not worth it.

@MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 I mean, a character doesn't have to have a significant history with Nintendo to begin with (take Joker for example). As long as they originate from a video game they qualify. Not to mention Crash is kinda one of the bigger gaming icons, so I get why a lot of people wanted him.

@Shamstar @notaxation Honestly, I think their issue comes down to the fact that it's an old school "Nintendo" game. Doesn't hand hold, doesn't pander, trusts you to interpret info. Consider the current crop of game press is young enough to not have played 2D Metroid when current and yeah.

@concraft338 @GamingBoy256 @NintendoAmerica Yeah, that's what I said. People bitching about the Cease and Desist are babies that don't understand that terms of service are a thing.

@Wolfman98002015 Is this kid's Nintendo Switch broken or something? They really need to get off the internet.

@antdude92 Why were some people insisting on Crash in Smash? He has no significant history with Nintendo. At least with Kingdom Hearts a good chunk of the original ports of the side-games were on the CBA, DS and 3DS!

great now competitive and casuals are fighting… well I guess I’ll share my thoughts. Spawn Camping is annoying. But can win you a whole game. Annoying < Reliable Strategy Nintendo is most likely going to fix the spawncamping issues in Splatoon 3. So… I wouldn’t worry.

@DanteKaze @Somecallmejon "but its Nintendo's desicion" ??? What is that even supposed to mean? Yeah, it's their decison. Duh. And that's what we're criticizing. What are you even trying to get at with that? Also "I haven't experienced the problem so it's not a problem at all lol lmao" Yeah. Screw you.

@FragAllZoomers @NintendoAmerica I hope no one takes your advice. Dread selling well means more Metroid. Also it's a single-player game that has nothing to do with the online service.

@TheSwitchForce Totally just tweeted yesterday's GMM from the 5:29 mark to BOTH the Japanese and Nintendo America Twitter accounts. I'm with you and hoping that they do more to fix this mess they've created.

@asimov_fangirl I don't know ... but since there they almost kill when pokemon cards come out so they must be sold out too XD ... they should have a service like in Europe or Japan that you can buy them in the Nintendo store 😢.

@writersflood You'd need a good emulator and know how to fix up settings just so the rom can run well on your computer, so I get that. I'm gonna get a Wii U soon, so that's my Nintendo stuff locked down.

@DarlingVexa You can buy it separately absolutely, or pay the online service and not own the DLC. My complaint is more Nintendo knowing a $30 increase in online wouldn't take well, so they added the announcement to the end of the AC update. Negated a lot of negative feedback.

@MLFoxwell @MOVIELORD101 @antdude92 I think he means history of being ON Nintendo consoles. But even with that logic, he'd still be wrong since the early Crash games had GBA ports.

@DabuzSenpai People not realizing you're joking 😭 Still it does feel really frustrating how Nintendo gives these pseudo 'buffs' instead of fixing actual fundamental problems. If jab 1 was safe on shield it wouldn't break the character...
