Smash Ultimate online's release was rocky. The Switch is the first Nintendo console with an online service you pay for, 20 dollars a year. That's really not that bad in the grand scheme of things, despite the complainers. What MAKES it bad is the abysmal outdated connections.

@Sora4Smash2 @Durin_1er @Sora_Sakurai that's cool and all but whos paying sakurai and his teams's paycheck? Nintendo is. And most likely if not they wouldn't wanna deal with that many legal trouble and a big budget again for a large scale game like this

1/2 Piracy is a service problem. I have bought Virtual console games multiple times, and that includes games I already own. @NintendoAmerica, if you want to shut down most pirates, let us buy and own the games OUTSIDE of NSO and tie those games to our user accounts.

Just got off the phone with Nintendo and finally got around to trying to get my NNID transferred from my broken 3DS to my new one (for the record, it broke in like 2017 so lol)

@darylbaxter I'd love too see Rare Replay on Switch but I just don't see it happening unless Nintendo and Rare can agree on either including the X360 games, or removing them entirely. More of their NES / SNES / N64 games on the Switch Online service could be a goer though.

@NintendoAmerica @animalcrossing Please fix Leif’s weeding service. I can never get it to activate despite having a lot of weeds.

@JustinGibbins @RonaldSDean problem is, Nintendo could lose money for the next 50 years and still be a financial powerhouse. Loss of revenue isnt gonna get a message through to them any time soon.

Seriously! **** Nintendo! Yeah 60% of my time with the NES was great, but the remaining 40% was hating it for not working correctly. When I got a Genesis it was a breath of fresh air, having games that actually worked 99.99% of the time.

@Rayomorz @Durin_1er @Sora_Sakurai What does Sakurai's paycheck have ANYTHIBG to do with the "legal trouble" bullshit that you're spitting? You do realize that Sakurai works on the franchise, right? He doesn't shows up to work and works there for free. Obviously Nintendo has to pay him by a certain amount.

Even though mlb will likely be delayed, I can say it’s pretty neat getting my baseball fix in the mlb the show tech test on the Nintendo switch lite of a pretty good consolation. The controls are good although the active gameplay is a bit choppy with a slightly slow frame rate.

@ElBarbonuno I think that's just lag & @Nintendo's crappy netcode. I've been in a lot of lobbies with that dude and usually beat him, then he disappears.

The moral of the story is this: Nintendo, by all means you should know better. You do so much and so little at the same time. If you truly want the Switch to last another 5 years or more, ***FIX IT.***

Smash Ultimate is one of the prime games of Nintendo's online, a fighting game with tight inputs, controls & movements. Just one problem...THE ONLINE SERVERS ARE 20 YEARS OLD. There's a check left in splatoon to see if the player is connected via windows 98.

@NintendoAmerica Wow its been a while since people could play this gem, What I think Wii U VC or the 3ds game was the last time. Sorry I am not on the hype train for a rental service for games you cant buy, that drip feeds. But I assume most who have a switch never owned a wii u or 3ds.

@UltimaShadowX @Gladion97 @OnTheDownLoTho The N64+Genesis games are an addition to the real purpose being where Nintendo puts their DLC. Like, buying all those games individually at their cheapest digital legal option+the two DLCs, and the service is cheap.

Emulating games on PC is fine as long as they don't sell them anymore. Games that have been re-released on modern platforms or modern games that are still being sold are the issue. Example: Emulation for Smash Bros Brawl is fine because Nintendo can't profit off of it anymore.

re: nintendo's preservation practices, there's a reason they don't exist they have a prime chance to resell every game to you every time they sell a new console. it is better to pirate until they offer an actual service instead of rehashes

My personal take on the Nintendo eShop shutdown is that people rushing to buy games on this service after the announcement is just rewarding Nintendo for their poor decision. Why should we reward such actions when we can look for alternative means for preservation?

@willgeeksout @GameHistoryOrg If you don't understand why this is a bad thing, you are part of the problem. It's not about buying the games you want. It's about losing total access to a part of gaming history without piracy. Keep bootlicking Nintendo though. Keep shining those boots, boy.

@zmeister100 I mean if you're talking about YouTubers, then yeah. They tend to agree with the crowd on anything. Among my hundreds of mutuals though, I have yet to see somebody beg for a Netflix like service then complain that Nintendo did a Netflix like service
