To anyone saying "Well the Super Nintendo was successful. It was just the Wii U that sucked", actually, parents did have the same issue with the Super Nintendo name being close to the original. Not sure about the DS/3DS. That had its own launch issues.

One thing that frustrates me about this garbage PS Plus service is it makes NSO look better. Don't let Sony's awful decisions justify Nintendo's awful decisions.

@rpcs3 The emulator is really amazing, although I still can't solve a problem with the detection of a Horipad for nintendo. On Linux, I can't get the right stick to work, it doesn't detect the axis correctly.

@AtlsShrugd PS classics arent for trophy hunters. They are doing this to compete with Nintendo online service and Xbox Backwards compability

@MischiefsYT So? I've built PCs for 15 years, but I couldn't care less about the specs of a Switch. Is that really your main problem with the Switch? That it isn't some high spec beast? Oh man. As for Nintendo Online, couldn't care less about it, so that's not a factor to me.

@jpkingx I only bought an xbox because of game pass and the fact I saw the way the industry was heading (consolidation) and knew Microsoft was not done buying and all these purchases would result in said service having more value. Before this I pretty much only bought Nintendo consoles

It's finally got to a point where the value is undeniable, no matter what you use. It's video games, on demand. It is a rental service, with no due date. It's a dream come true for me. I can only hope Nintendo will follow Microsoft and Sony and try something like this.

@AidenRS139 @ChaotixCompany There’s one problem with the game apparently… it’s on Virtual Boy. That said, Nintendo straight up forgets that Wario Land exists.

@Gamercosplays @AidenRS139 Mother 3 was on the Wii U in Japan though. It's just Nintendo of America faced with the issue of having to localize an entire GBA RPG when they could be spending that time and money localizing more recent releases.

Yesterday they changed my modem to fiber optic and for some reason it's not working on my 3ds, I draw in Colors 3D so I won't be able to upload them to my gallery, so there won't be any new drawings for a while, I'll buy Colors Live on Nintendo Switch.

So @Manic_Socratic's hype is real for me going after Sony for the whole PAL PS1 game bullshit. Sony's PlayStation division is grossly anti-consumer. They've been this way since the PS3. Keep in mind, Microsoft and Nintendo have their own issues...

@PlayApex I am having trouble adding someone on Nintendo switch. I am on Xbox and can not find them when I search or they can not find me. I was searchable with my EA account but request did not come through!! So frustrating! HELP!!

@arekkusu_arcade And this is not just a problem with Nintendo. The gaming industry at large has been AWFUL when it comes to game preservation. At best, companies have been apathetic about preserving games. At worst, they go out of their way to combat piracy for games you can't get otherwise.

@merrybigboy @gameheros235_ @Nibellion The emulation seems to be fine now, so I dunno what the bitching is all about when every game is playable. Apparently, every company is having drift issues, not just Nintendo. I wouldn't say they're ignorant to the matter, but of course you would.

The way Sony is handling the tiers for PS+ is mad. PAL 50hz on PS classics? I mean even Nintendo got it right for Switch Online + Expansion with all classics NTSC 60hz, even in Europe where we suffered from this back in the day. And that's just one issue, doubtful I'll upgrade.

@Nibellion This service sucks more and more every time I see it. How do you make a service worse than Nintendo Switch Online?

@PacboySlim Thanks! Space really is the number 1 problem for me. I had to relegate lots of CEs to other shelves and pack up my handheld Nintendo stuff in boxes to make way for more Switch games. Hopefully I'll be able to display everything in one coherent game room one day.

@aaron2588 @THEREALRTU @Nintendo All games are digital… if you mean downloaded, just remember, most games these days have massive updates that means the game is broken or very slimmer without the downloads. So even if you buy a physical game, you still have to hope servers don’t go down.

@NintendoUK Have some of the worst customer service I've ever had to deal with. They know they're joy cons are basically riddled with issues, and to top it off my screen was damaged by the dock. Apparently a near £90 repair cost is reasonable when it's all down to design issues.
