At the very least, Nintendo has shown willingness to patch and fix issues with these games on NSO as they crop up, so there will likely be a fix coming in good enough time. Still kinda crap that it ended up falling through the cracks, though. That much is true.

@Strider21X @JuiceMan_V @NinEverything Sorry to be a downer but Nintendo's legacy content is already behind a subscription service and it's kind of the only way to play them, as opposed to the competition who have backwards compatibility

@Akesan65 @MikeusesAether @NintendoAmerica 1. Odd how countless games have done so without much trouble whatsoever. Especially when it comes to keeping the exact same context as the original. Something modern localizations can’t do 2. So they made her horribly written and meme worthy

@NintendoAmerica why am I losing my rank progress when there’s a connection error in #SwitchSports and It took me from 2/3 to D+ down to where I’m barely D rank. Please fix!

@flashmajora No one ever said it was a rule; It's a mere convenience that has yet to be broken. I obviously treated this as just to show that all of them did had previous history on Nintendo hardware, no matter how minor it was. Nothing else.

@OBE1plays In closing it wasn't the art style that turned me away from Federation Force. It was the lack of availability of multiplayer and the continued issue with no Achievement System. I'm sick of Nintendo platforms not having achievements...

@8_bithero @accureye @TKC_RobbieV That's the issue it was build specifically for Nintendo games. Not for third party. Should of been built for third party games.

So a few days ago I realized my Shield file was deleted because it was linked to old Nintendo account which was on my old, broken Switch I had for only 4 years! Which means my foreign dittos are gone...

@KennedyKrills @SlackSupremacy Nintendo today is absolutely wack. I do not get the hype at all. 1 of the most expensive consoles, most expensive games and has the worst graphics, lazy ports, terrible online lag. No online browser. Never use it anymore.

@NintendoUK Hey Nintendo, just want to say that Kirby 64 is EXTREMELY HARD. There are even glitches that softback you aswell. I suggest you fix the glitches and nerf some of the levels to make it less rage inducing. Thanks. I hope you listen Nintendo.

i don’t need a switch oled but if nintendo went through all that trouble to make one then I guess it would be rude to not buy one

@MrReinvention23 @LoveRetroBTW Well, good news for you is that there aren't that many! I always liked the series even though Nintendo doesn't care that much for it. One problem is that it wasn't "NINTENDO" that made it; it was Nintendo R&D1 and the creator died in the 90s, so ...

Lately I use a wired Starlink connection to my Nintendo Switch. Still, I almost always get splatted by just one bullet from the .52 gallon or lag-splatted by N-Zaps. #splatoon

@PownicMania5000 True yeah, although personally I understand why NsmbU was released when it was, delaying NsmbU would of involved delaying a whole console launch and messing up several 3rd party developers release schedules, I think Nintendo knew this was a problem- they just didn’t have a choice

@NintendoAmerica The controls for this game SUCK. You have to use the D-pad in order for you to play the game! Not only that but the GAME itself is RIGGED! Especially parts in level 5-4 whefe you get crushed unexpectedly! Meanwhile I beat the final boss without problem! NERF THIS STUPID GAME!!!!!

Bear in mind that the Nintendo 64 has proven notoriously difficult to emulate. Its hardware is very unique and even Nintendo has had problems with it before. The well-regarded Wii N64 emulator needed its code to be tailored for each individual game. There's no catch-all solution

@RockstarNation @ArthurLexur @InfinityH1mself The issue is that that's your opinion. Nintendo didn't say "meant to be played in handheld" and the box doesn't say "for best experience play in handheld" and when you launch the game it doesn't say "make sure you're playing in handheld." It's not a fact. It's your opinion.

@ieatdubu6dahyun And is that really a problem? I checked by the way. The developer is Italian. If Nintendo said that game couldn't be on their platform because reasons, that also would be censorship.

@idknething2 @NintendoAmerica There’s no way someone on the internet would make up a blatantly absurd article! Satirical news sites don’t exist! Nintendo has their own share of issues in recent years but taking away women’s rights is not one of them
