@NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot crash sucks and Nintendo should have never allowed any Activision or blizzard games on switch because of how ****** Activision is to all their consumers and employees

@roguy79 @QSeeker95 @Wario64 I agree with Nintendo online not offering enough. But for a different reason. Mainly... still no voice chat. I'd prefer a standard virtual console over what we have now. Maybe have points you can accrue to use on the shop. Or free games from the store like EVERY OTHER SERVICE.

@KritzsKujo while the console itself has some great exclusives(Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey) the Nintendo Online Service is at least for me a bad choice that can avoid potential buyers, also nintendo online services dont have a good record, also-

@JuanGrande386 @vetrix_tron @NintendoAmerica Yeah, nobody gives a **** about these games. That's the problem.

@markl1109 @Halonut24 @NintendoAmerica Do you not see that this is a sign that they're beginning to shut down the service? Companies will slowly remove features until a service is completely gone, same thing happened with the wii

@Patterrz That's a Fallacy of Irrelevant Conclusion right there. Because how DARE they criticise Nintendo and Pokemon's transition to Free-to-Play? You probably sound like the Ubisoft defenders rationalising Assassin's Creed's transition to Live-Service despite the criticism.

@NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot Crash has a five year plan, so Crash x Smash should happen for real.

the game store i visited yesterday had a decent library of Nintendo Power issues for sale, and while I'm not complaining about the prices, I can't justify spending $15 on a 25 y/o book that id ultimately spill coffee on just bc it had a bear and a bird on it. cool to see tho!

@Greninja_Lad @NintendoAmerica Everyone up in here bitching bout drift. 8 joycons my kids use daily and we never have drift. My ps4 pro on the other hand, got shelved after 6 months cuz @Sony refused to fix 4 controllers and the system itself giving me nothing but problems

@JuanGrande386 @vetrix_tron @NintendoAmerica If it were just $20 flat to own all those games, sure that’s not bad. The problem is that that price keeps increasing. This year I’ll have paid over $100 for those games, and it’ll only get more expensive as time goes on. Every year your argument gets worse and worse.

The Nintendo Switch should have more console emulators and better NES and SNES games to play. I know licensing and cost effectiveness are issues but there are lots of retro games that people want to play legally and at least somewhat affordably but they cannot.

@NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot I swear I can't look at the comments of literally any post that has to do with Crash Bandicoot without seeing some dorks shout about Smash. Not saying it can't or won't happen but can you talk about the actual announcement instead of constantly making it about Smash

@LilyKangaroo like, idk why they don't just dump 50 or so of their classics onto the service and *then* do these obscure showcases, not like it'd cost them a dime. Guess that would make sense, and nintendo does what genesisn't

@WSBirodeyourmom @NintendoAmerica @Sony Drift is a serious problem and from my experience, it happens the most with the Switch. The PS4 controller I have never drifts.

@NoponDigi Reminder that Nintendo are against developer crunch, which is a much bigger issue than overpriced games or lack of games
