There IS the Nintendo Switch Online service (or NSO), which contains a lot of retro games that members could play on their Switch consoles for free, with monthly payment. This is similar to a streaming service like Netflix, where people could watch what they want online anytime.

@LeafCam spending too much time in "Man that's cute" will instill the ungodly hatred of Nintendo HQ, instantly causing a connection error and forcing you into the latter route

@NintendoUK I'd really like to see Crash and Spyro game boy games make their way to the switch, absolute nostalgic.

@WillFletchUK @TheEggman64 I only emulate game cube games because A: Nintendo has made no virtual consoles of them B: they're expensive as **** Also why should I pay for a subscription service to play games I could play for free on a laptop? It's just not worth it

@TAHK0 I know people wonder why Nintendo would sit on games for so long: I think the big reason is they want to avoid any droughts of software releases. This was a problem on the Wii U when months would go by before Nintendo did another notable release. The fixed this with the Switch.

Even though they were late GameCube to mid Wii, I regret getting rid of my Nintendo Power issues

@RageGoldenEagle I used to go through an issue of Game Informer or Nintendo Power several times as a kid but once I realized I could get the news faster on forums and then later even faster on Twitter it stopped being worth my attention to look at a magazine at all.

@NintendoAmerica Most excited for a switch pro so i can stop lagging on these ps2 style games.

@FinalFantasy The Nintendo Power preview of Final Fantasy III (VI). I had been somewhat indifferent to Final Fantasy, but Nintendo Power's multi-issue preview cover on III made me completely obsessed with it. Then when FFVII became a Sony exclusive, I bought a PS just for it.

Because Nintendo decided to not integrate this to the Switch, because they decided to close the eShops for Wii U and 3DS, you can no longer purchase retro games and download them. Instead you will need to rely on this Netflix-esque service to play these games exclusively online.

It’s a month until the Nintendo eShops close for Wii U and 3DS. I know this was inevitable considering both consoles are over 10 years old at this point, but there is an element to this that makes this more of an issue for Nintendo gamers: There is no Virtual Console for Switch.

@kaiyerra @Emily884229031 @NintendoAmerica Nothing but fan service. Let's be real here. The reason of CYL banners from the mobile game was pretty weak ngl.

I don't care how you try to justify it, Nintendo locking their retro games behind a subscription service is really dumb. This is why I keep a Wii around for Virtual Console.

@GINSENGSTRIPS_ All the NSO retro games will be on the next system online service, that's for sure. If not, a new VC mode will be made, Nintendo knows their fans are happy buying the same old games over and over.

I always think it's interesting when we talk character bans because I think that it's really just to mask the real problems: No support from Nintendo No more patches Unclear communication Problematic power dynamics Unclear bans ****** online ****** training mode

@BombosMedallion @brOrayn That is the issue. It was all an issue of strange, disjointed VO direction. Nintendo just doesn’t have anyone who has honed that skill

@symboltherapper I think all three for $60 would've been fair, given recent releases (e.g. Crash N-Sane Trilogy), but given the quality of MPR, and Nintendo's general approach, it makes sense. Either way, I hope to see them drop later this year.

Just contacted Nintendo support. The person I chatted with was nice and polite. They did their best with the information they had at their disposal. Unfortunately it seems my issue is one they need to do more research on.

@theWellRedMage It makes me chuckle pretty fierce when I see the amount of money thrown at games like GTA and CoD while my kids boot-up Goat Sim, FNAF, or Minecraft. I think there is a big disconnect between the industry and their future consumers (except Nintendo. They love Nintendo).

@Nerd_Orb @GINSENGSTRIPS_ @exstatikk Pokemon bank isn't a video game though. It should be a free service if they actually cared for their player base. Nintendo suck *** and just don't give two shits unless you have £60 for old copy of pokemon

@ferrarimanf355 @rollerize @stephentotilo There isn't a problem with Tencent, Embracer or even Ubi/EA buying it. They are content publishers - they make the bullets. Xbox/PS/Nintendo are platforms - the gun. Business dependency is key to fair competition for consumers. MS are trying to buy the bullets for their gun.

@Hachipai_ they're just little people with little problems, i mean if they're using twitter they're hypocrites cuz the owner of twitter is just like JKR, same if they play nintendo games which JKR have connections too XD
