@airviewstudio @Mrpyrostorm I think this is the disconnect: "If a price hike is what we need to continue having quality games then by all means " Most don't actually think this is a "need". Nintendo is still HIGHLY profitable. Most profits they have made in any gen ever.

@JDURGIT @Wario64 Amusing how you are blaming Nintendo for one sites shopping cart issues.

@Win98Tech Well they've been successful thus far i don't doubt at all that nintendo fanboys will eat that **** up no problem

@Wesley_Copeland @chrisbrandrick @iambrandonsalt You can't legally. It's fine until it's not fine. Like all those SNES emulator sites that ran for years without issue until suddenly Nintendo decided they weren't gonna allow it and forced them all to close down. Not worth the risk.

Trying to get my kid a collectors edition of Tears of the Kingdom has not been going great.... @NintendoAmerica but scalpers seem to be having no issues, if I go off of eBay prices.

@BehaviorReturns I have N64 cartridges with the price tag still on some of them from when I bought them new back in the day, They range from $50 - $60, that was 98 - 2000's money, I think the problem a lot of people have is that most $70 games are digital only, at least Nintendo do physical's

@PapyrusSemi @patrickklepek The whole point of “The Banned Wagon” is that they know they will get banned so they decided to put the most broken tech and glitchy stuff in the levels as much as they wanted. Levels like this have gotten deleted ASAP by Nintendo for years now. The “tattle” doesn’t do anything.

@ObsidianHate @VoicesByZane Oh but if this problem is so big it shouldn’t matter should it? Cancel LEGO and Nintendo next cuz they both have contracts w/ her that give her royalties as well.

@jodiede The scalping situation when switch 2 launches is going to be insane. 2 years of ps5 being scalped and off shelves. Now imagine switch 2 with its high demand/dominance in Asian markets. I know Nintendo’s supply will be more, but it’s still going to be a real problem.

@_MoonArcadia_ Oh, i'm sorry to inform you. He is Michael from Dragalia Lost, a nintendo game that ended service a bit ago. Theres a fan server in the works tho. My account is a fan account that serves as a lighthearted riff on these characters, and to keep them alive past the end of service!

I still think gamecube is gonna drop on nintendo’s online service (possibly with the next console) if mario 64 and advance wars are any indication, remasters/remakes don’t stop ports from going on NSO, and eventually game boy and gba are going to run out of the highlights too

@tabriata24 @bluecorallite @PersonaSpeaks I even tweeted saying watch Zelda be $70 before I saw the Eshop error. I just use common sense and know how Nintendo operates. Like I said people need to get over it. If you don't want to pay a whole $10 more then don't get it, simple. Wait for a used copy or a sale. Later

@Pr0digyDaKiD @Wario64 Easy way to fix that is tell your retailers to take in as many pre-orders as they can sell, then Nintendo produces enough product to meet demand. Don't see why this would not be possible.

@NathanDw9 @jodiede The reason why next-gen consoles are so lucrative for scalpers is that the materials production for these consoles are scarce for the manufacturers. I highly doubt the next Nintendo console will be as powerfull as the current gent consoles so it won't have production issues.

@Cosmic_Alema @HetzersgonaHetz @OrdinaryGamers It's more convenient, it looks and runs better. It's just a better way to play it, whether you buy it or not. Nintendo should try offering a better service if they really want to combat piracy

@TheBocop @RadixComet @theWellRedMage Because a Nintendo accountant calculated they could make a higher RoI on a subscription service than individual sales of titles. It was also probably easier to convince License holders to get a percentage of subscription revenue vs percentage of sales revenue

@Mouthzola @VeganVrKing1 @AndreSegers It's not necessarily an issue just means that Nintendo games are very different and they're cool I like them but their difference does stem from outdated tech and it's pretty big

@Frisianfellow - problem i have with Nintendo specifically doing the “70 dollars” thing. The switch’s hardware was already based on pretty hold hardware when it first came out, old enough where I sometimes struggled to understand how they charge 60 dollars for some games, much less 70, so yeah

@jaredhoy I don't think you're in the minority. I think Nintendo is struggling. Think about the fact that it has been 10 years since Mario Kart 8 was announced and we are STILL playing the same game. I wonder if there are issues in the development department right now.

@yourspookydad Yeah… I get that there would be licensing issues etc with a lot of games… but surely all the Nintendo developed stuff should be mostly fine… and it’s not like Gameboy emulation isn’t mature enough or they’re adding anything extra to these titles

@N_0mi @horrorerik @NintendoAmerica Yeah but the problem is nintendo is charging 70 on ANCIENT hardware compared to their competitors

nintendo doesn’t have access to every third party game for their systems, and unless they make brand new retro games they are going to run low for every console they have since there’s only a finite amount. The service is going to continue, so it’s likely just a matter of time.

(@nnoodle64) reported
@CartridgeGames The biggest issue with Nintendo is their communication schedule is unclear and is too stop-start. They don’t have PS Blog, or personalities to do a weekly YT hit or a Twitch stream. But also, maybe they DON’T need that, because they’ve sold almost a billion games
