@soliderack @Target @Xbox This is not a Sony or Microsoft issue, this is everything in 2020 and 2021. GPU's, Nintendo Switch OLED, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, SSD's, and so many other things have met more supply than demand.

@Nina7Infinity @DDay_Cobra @Nintendo The basic service is decent. $25 per year is pretty cheap compared to psn and xbox. and switch sales can be really good. currently Mortal Kombat 11 is on sale for $20

@ModernVintageG I've had no issues with playing online via the Nintendo Switch. None. I have been kicked off a few Xbox Series S games.

I’m glad Nintendo kept the option for twenty dollars to pay for online. As someone who wants to maximize my dollar, I will not spend additional 25 dollars for a service I’ll never use aka animal crossing happy home paradise.

@Rastakahnn @BlizzardCS There would be no maximum days on Nintendo, surely many people are reporting the same problem and requesting a refund. I personally bought the game on Monday and request a refund today. the game no longer appears to me as "bought" just waiting the return of the money

@NintendoUK Fix your dogshit connection issues and maybe it'll be more worth it. Mario Maker 2 VS mode is awful.

@RGT_85 @NintendoAmerica Nah, Base Online should be free. Retro Consoles should also be even cheaper since these games are old and Nintendo Switch Online hardly has much content. Not to mention Nintendo's online services are ****** to begin with. You can't even play Smash online without massive lag.

This is my last tweet about this unless Nintendo changes it, but Yes Nintendo games are awesome yes this online service is over priced @NintendoAmerica please please change this if you really care for the fans

@TThunderowl @HaddoxJack @DestinyFomo It is, but $180 for that value and a service that works. Or Now over double, for a service that might work (yay PSO era servers), and old games that half of them are licensed out the ***. I'm sorry with Nintendo's vaunted bank roll of 24/5 years straight profits, you can't tell

Don’t conflate coverage of the games business with the experience of playing games. ACNH isn’t a live service game and was never gonna be. Being upset Nintendo isn’t doing what other companies are is foolish. You can not like what’s added (🤔) but don’t have unfounded standards.

@NickSpesia @LeakyPandy Game pass does the same ****. I rent games and dlc from the service. Say for example: I download destiny 2 beyond light from gamepass, and then my gamepass expires, no more beyond light. This isn’t an exclusively Nintendo problenm

@LonelyGoomba The problem is it's not worth it and companies are slowly getting more greedy with their crap. People are tired of it expect the whales and the people who can afford it. It use to be free and that gave Nintendo a leg up but effectively know where it's going from here now, sadly.

@TThunderowl @Jameron4evaSean @HaddoxJack Everyone here is arguing or debating about the prices of the Nintendo switch online service. So I was wondering if the people debating it even have a Nintendo switch. That’s why I asked to be tagged in the pics.

@Magical_Worker @SpawnWaveMedia Would be a better offer, if they'd say... Hey every Nintendo published game on those platforms? You get them day one with the service. But 8 games? That's just a huuuuuge ripoff.

@NintendoUK Maybe when the lag is sorted out and disconnections are gone I'll consider it otherwise for now it's not worth it.

@SonicPrincess15 50 bones? Yeah, not touching that with a 10-foot Joy Con. The only way they could possibly justify that is if they added support for GameCube, GameBoy, GBA, and DS games. Nintendo really thinks NSO is the only service anybody subscribes to, huh? 😒

@MonicaOrangeArt @Strepcryptor @AustinJohnPlays So you're saying that it's ok for Nintendo to steal from us that gives us a ****** service that is NOT worth the money

@BlizzardCS @PlayStation @NintendoAmerica For console servers #D2R you are just going to pretend nothing happend? There is not even an acknowledgement that there is an issue from Blizzard. Switch and Playstation platform should remove this game. Why sell a product that not ready

Just make the service actually worth it before you raise the price tag. Nintendo really messing with my feelings here

(@Kotlolish) reported
@ZeldaMasterLuke The expansion pack actually asks alot more questions. If it is 20 to 40 bucks more expensive depending on the plan.. it means the Nintendo Online service in reality... only like 2.50 per year for online? Or for the cloud saving? Online was free.. so...it makes you wonder.

@TThunderowl @HaddoxJack @DestinyFomo If Nintendo really wanted to compete on the service level MS is opening up, that would've been what Nintendo did. And if the rumors are true (I don't think they are but anything can happen) Apple is getting ready to specifically target Nintendo. With their service platform...

Don't get me wrong I buy a game when I can but if I really don't feel like paying 50 bucks for Nintendo 64 games along with a rather **** online service or not paying 60 bucks for a upscaled 3ds title don't come @ me and keep in drinking your soymilk you diaper wearing sissies!!

@KumarNinya @king_goomba @Atlus_West You can buy switch on Amazon india Oo Or... its indeed a problem like in China, where Nintendo was allowed to sell limited stuff since this year

(@lastofavari) reported
@VryRdmButterfly I think the problem people having is that we are comparing $30 for Nintendo offical™ emulation vs. unofficial emulation for $0. Paying $30 for a physical release, even if it's just a flash memory card for Switch to play Sega or Nintendo collection could be more valuable.

@jpbeeman @Errorfix4044 @PaulTassi Lol given Nintendo’s track record of piecemeal releases and service abandonment, it’s in no way obvious there will be more. You’re just blindly hoping they will (and look - I get it. I’m still blindly hoping for a Wind Waker HD port!)

@InJEVONweTrust @TheCypherr @PressStartKofi This is why I don't blame people for emulating. Nintendo incompetence and anti-consumerism is really showing it's face now. Can't believe you guys are defending a $50 service that doesn't even have a messaging system or party chat that are basic features even retro consoles have
