(@CoGregg1) reported
@Reblsmithpdx @Jorsch2R @Mollyploofkins I think only the ill or people that have low to no conscience. As a vet, I can say for me it was truly a horrifying experience the first time. It’s not playing a Nintendo game, and some of those should be banned as they make the problem worse.

@Luigi3692 @452Bullmoose @NintendoAmerica Yeah, but the issue here is that the post launch content isn't content people are coming back to. Like, why would I care to launch the game just to play as Ninji and nothing else?

(@the_pepsiman1) reported
@LisaMcRad The problem is, Nintendo doesn't want it to be a cheaper version of the NES Classic Edition because it'll feel like a waste if you bought an NES Classic just to realize all your fan-favorites are on the Nintendo Switch for free

@verge It's almost as if Nintendo dropping bugged games like OOT with the fog & water FX not working at launch is a red herring for them not adding more titles & platforms. Instead of gamers complaining MORE about a lack of quality titles they target public frustration at glitches.

@immagonnaget2 @AidenRS139 @NintendoAmerica they will be locked behind online which is a paid service

@NintendoAmerica Try and fix the Yoshi’s story graphical errors and f zero slowdown as well

(@MorrowIDFina) reported
@GamerObscure @mr_evaporation @NintendoAmerica Oh Yoshi’s Story on P64 have frame drops in the map and I think it’s probably the Omen laptop’s issue (or whatever it is I’m not good with tech) but I forgot anyway cuz I didn’t go deep into the game and just only finish the game once (which the point is to go multiple paths)

@windycornertv at this point, sony service is way worse than nintendo, ffs, the same **** that happend on ps classic

@Cozmicaztaway @windycornertv @aurahack It's languages. 100%. Which is silly, because Nintendo solved this problem ages ago, but Sony failed to learn from their emulation wins (not that many but important nevertheless), just as they failed to learn from Microsoft's emulation wins (many).

@NintendoAmerica Never had an issue with the post launch update model to be frank, especially since I'm not actually paying out the pocket to get all that **** on top of paying for the game itself. Honestly really I just care if the games core gameplay is enough to actually warrant more support.

@gamingfan37 @RGT_85 Yeah for sure. I'm just saying I can play my collection on my PC and never pay for their service of they make it crappy on purpose. It's easier than the cart dumper I had to buy for my Nintendo games.

@R_Guy26 @LonelyGoomba @NintendoAmerica I'm not so sure honestly. I usually think this is okay if the game is playeble and not broken (for example sonic colors ultimate) and this game isn't broken. Yes it's disappointing and honestly a really scummy business choice but atleast on release it has a lot of love in it.

@creeper19221 @jycompany_ Nintendo really overcorrected the drought issue on the Wii U by rushing a bunch of Switch games out.

@Shuffle2106 @NintendoAmerica I have emulators up the a. And it’s a somewhat different service than just online multiplayer. It’s more expensive than the NSO subscription, and I just wanted to see what the Switch’s N64 experience has to offer. Every Switch Online member has already been offered this trial.

@JustNabi @NintendoAmerica Nintendo is gonna find a way to mess them up. Remember when Super Mario 3D All Stars was first released? Mario Sunshine had several bugs and glitches and people even reported some issues with the game and all 3 games on 3D all Stars were all emulated according to dataminers.

@NintendoAmerica I don't suppose you could backport that Majora's Mask cutscene fix to the Wii Virtual Console port while you're at it, please.

@TheTrueJBru @NintendoAmerica Homebrew emulation wasn't perfect from the start, it was very unreliable and even now there are some problems.

(@ICA_Agent_47) reported
@mcquack306 Xbox is focused on GPU, so they are showing as many games as possible to hype up their service to gain subscribers PS and Nintendo are focused on selling games, so hyping up each individual title as they come along makes more sense. E.g. HFW had dozens of trailers and gameplay

@_Carashi__ Bro this has been an issue for YEARS. I've seen tons of people get whacked with a DMCA even for **** Nintendo didn't technically own (OniOniOgre's bowsette image got nuked iirc). They are within their legal right to DMCA stuff, but it's morally bankrupt.

@UltraBall5 @NintendoAmerica I think it could be if there were more characters and stages at launch but as is I'm just not convinced it was worth the 15 years of waiting. The game looks perfectly fine but I'm just worried that it'll suffer the same issue that SF5 did when it launched with barely any content-
-
EmptySet
(@EmptySetDesigns) reported
@GlitchedZax The issue is that by the time Nintendo is done drip-feeding content, the total amount of stuff in the game is typically only as much as the game would've been expected to launch with before this became the norm. People call these games "unfinished" because they ARE unfinished.

so uh..... apparently you can get banned from smash ultimate for putting your switch into docked mode for some reason. might wanna fix this nintendo. #SuperSmashBrosUltimate

@NintendoAmerica a lot of ppl that only played 30 mainstream snes games being a crybaby about a game that they never played added on the service lol

(@UnsavorySalmon) reported
@GlitchedZax @NintendoAmerica There’s a few issues with this logic. Starting with the fact that Fortnite and Rocket League are both free to play, and on top of that their main content is the multiplayer online only. To compare these two games with 80$ (Canadian) Nintendo Games is blatantly dishonest quit it.

@Noctiserth @BenjiSales I think so too, but they have a lot of infrastructure to work on... Because Nintendo online service... works, not great, just works... but that's for Nintendo executives to figure out.

@JustNabi @Spoderguy2 @NintendoAmerica If GCN games much easier to emulate than why Nintendo couldn't get Sunshine to run properly on 3D all stars? Out of the 3 games Sunshine was the one with the most problems. Sure its already fixed, but it goes to show how Nintendo could handle GCN games if more comes on Switch.

@RGT_85 Yep and wanna hear something funny they anncoune free trailer then I got message saying how do you want Nintendo do better I type in add gameboy games online to your service that’s what people wanted

@LonelyGoomba @NintendoAmerica I never had an issue with the model personally, I feel it's a test to see if the game really will be what you're looking for or if it's fun enough to warrant waiting. That's just me, I can kinda get the distaste for it but I care more about the end product than the initial.

@NerdArtAndGames @Sephiroth1204 Oh! Crashy the Tree! It was a big enough crash that even Paper Mario modders made and started implementing a patch that fixes that. So it'd be kind of funny with that existing if Nintendo didn't even notice.

@NintendoAmerica I'm glad that more people are noticing this "fix it later" practice. It's really unfortunate that this practice will same apply to this game. I'm still excited to try this game though.
