@OathKeeperBrony He (almost) used to play ACNH with me but i didn't play with him yet due to my Nintendo Online Subscription issue Me and him even used to talk about some motorsports stuff, race vehicles and etc. Now since he betrayed me, i don't know what to say now I just feel alone... (2/2)

Hey @Nintendo I really want to give you money. Trying to buy stuff on 3DS eShop but I keep getting constant errors. I thought it wasn't shutting down until next year?

@BigSargeSportz I don't have kids and I'm single. For me it wouldn't be an issue. Netflix and Nintendo Switch. LOL

@game_whisperer Odd that they went to the trouble of getting tri-wing screws, but didn’t bother with just nicking the proper Nintendo logo.

@Kreeth_12 @IGN Hopefully Nintendo will bring the GameCube to the NSO service. The expansion pack would then be worth it.

@foxuzamaki @Jiikae Not everyone is going to love whatever nintendo does but i have been consistent with liking how the VC was because you could buy the games and not wait for months on end hoping to get games on the service you want.

@generalsaladin_ @GreenScorpion64 @ddaalsegno Honestly doesn't seem to be all that rare at this point with Nintendo. I mean yeah they've only had what, 3 remakes since Echoes (Echoes itself, and the two Pokemon ones), and both Echoes and BDSP's main problems were being too close to the original.

@FalcoLambda “Nintendo, I wanted an on-demand service with all of NES, SNES, N64, GB, and GBC games in Nintendo’s catalog + 3rd party games they could get.” “Ok. You get Paper Mario with corrupted save files”

@KeitaKuhn @NeonChaosGenie That sounds like a massive toy problem and you should probably just not consume nintendo because your opinion will never matter, make a statement don’t buy it, while I make a statement saying “TAKE MY MONEY!”

@TerminatorJuice @Jiikae This too. I think people wanted a free for all of Nintendo legacy content, so the drip feed in content was a rude awakening to the reality of a service like this. I think if we got one or two games per month at the minimum, people wouldn't be as salty.

I figured it out a couple years later, flipping through back issues of Nintendo Power at the library, and it took a few years after that to find a copy for sale. In all that time the zen-like gloominess of that game was never all that far from my mind.

@ThatMetroidGuy Say what you want about Nintendo, but their games run flawlessly. The only glitch I've ever managed to find was when I got a certain combo of enemies to attack me up against a certain wall, and I fell through the floor. I have at least 60 hours in this game.

@cheeky_cutiee @naivenaz The video game crash of 1983 came about due to a huge influx of home console games with zero quality control, which could’ve brought an early end to video gaming. Not only did PC gaming survive the crash, but the Nintendo Entertainment System saved home console gaming by (cont)

I’ve been playing Kingdom Hearts 2 cloud version on my Nintendo Switch and I’ve gotta say it’s not as bad as everyone’s been making it out to be. It runs surprisingly well. Only issue is getting kicked out of the cloud if I go to the home screen for too long

@Jiikae I think the issue is that Nintendo finally did it and the drip feed the services. Like the expansion pack is 1 n64 game a month and I know they can’t get many n64 games but only 1. We only ever got 1 Sega update and that was such a big deal to them. And they charge a premium for

@Jiikae 3) Many people always wanted the option to download the games instead of streaming solely due to some areas not having reliable internet. As it stands, Nintendo has to periodically check online connectivity for continued use of the service.

@Pokemon @NianticHelp @NintendoAmerica -I ran into a glitch on Pokémon Arecus & Idk what I should do. It's on the darksome nightmare quest/catching darkrai. I defeated him & had no cutscene afterwards. Now it's telling me to do the same quest & i can't. It doesn't respawn for me.
