Wtf Nintendo won’t put money in this is lame. But those same people still played in tournaments sponsored by Nintendo without this issue stopping them for years. Smash deserves a pot bonus. We almost had it with I think ESL and Dreamhack. Those didn’t seem to 13/?

Have any issues from Nintendo based on how many happened. Yet… people chose to go to other majors where Nintendo was sponsoring with no money as opposed to DH where there was money and probably more exposure. So now we have no Smash @ DH to look at currently. 14/?

Does anyone know the answer to this? If you get the upgraded Nintendo Service Online Expansion pack for the family ($80/year), does each person on the family plan get the #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons DLC? Or does the DLC expansion only go to one person on the family plan?

@coronetcam Like I said I have no problem with her doing it. Personally I just believe people have the right to be upset with someone for working with Nintendo when Nintendo so actively killed grassroots opportunities like this for others for years.

@GAMER1984dude @NintendoAmerica PS Plus gives discounts and PS4/PS5 games. It's not the best service, but it's offering more attractive stuff than Nintendo right now. If someone doesn't play Animal Crossing, he has to pay extra for a something he doesn't want? That's the thing

@Rair_SSB The problem is not acknowledging the bad things Nintendo does for this reason, no one would've cared if vikkikitty just said "ay I know they did ****** up **** but I need the money rn" but responding how she did seems like she's downplaying how bad Nintendo has treated us.

@LambNathan @LavishLightsk1n @NintendoAmerica But not everyone agrees on everything. So don't hate on a service just because it's not for you or because it's too pricey. Just don't get it and move on. I hate gamepass because it's too much and no good games. But I'm not hating on the service. It's just not for me.

@LambNathan @LavishLightsk1n @NintendoAmerica To get back on point, the only difference between this and gamepass is the games. You are paying way more for the games you get. And that's just a rental service too. So it comes all down to preference. Which service has better games on it? You may say gamepass or psnow....

@IntroSpecktive I don't think "Renting these Nintendo games" is the issue... I think it's the "Renting a whole *** $25 DLC that's mandatory in the bundle" that is the problem...

@Dinfire It's such a Nintendo thing to do. Never payed for Switch Online (which is just awful service in general) and never will. I can play roms on emulators without paying anything, buy Genesis collection on almost every platform and actually own it on a physical disc.

@ZeldaMasterLuke For me it has nothing to do with the games and more with the overall service and what it lacks that Nintendo can afford or patch in like the case of the online side of things not just gaming but for things even beyond that. Like the lack of a truly dedicated social platform...

@gwacu @Miwoo00oo Geez, with how angry Nintendo fans you almost think this online service is a forced thing. Oh wait, it isn't? So people who don't like retro games don't have to buy it and can continue to pay the usual price without caring for this? How swell

Nintendo's new expan. plan for Switch online is a bad deal in my opinion. Sure you can justify it by saying it's more than 50 (or 30 if you were getting the online anyway) for the games on the service-but at the end of the day you are paying to borrow games that are decades old.

@K_Kid9902 Like I said I have no issue with what she's doing. I'm just saying its disingenuous to antiquate the relationship between Nintendo and the community to a typical company and grassroots relationship.

@REVERSALx7 The problem isnt that fans are always unhappy, its that fans arent getting what they want. We didnt ask for watered down diamond and pearl. Honestly, Nintendo shouldve just ported diamond and pearl onto the switch.

@csd_gay I’m not planning on selling, just pointing out that I should probably fix my launch switch Dunno if I should sent it back to nintendo since they’ll likely just send me a newer model

@AspyrMedia @NintendoAmerica Can you guys actually fix the iOS version first? It’s buggy as hell without an update within a year.

Wow nintendo online is not worth 50 bucks, you get some cheap games that only a few care for, the online service is prehistoric.. you can't message, the online service is nowhere near Microsoft and Sony's.. I got it because it was fine for 20 but not 50 f that.. #Quittingnintendo

Nintendo fans will mindlessly support them despite their terribly anti-consumer decisions then complain about how it's only getting worse with time as if they aren't part of the problem

@TheNintendoFeed Or...it could not. Everyone had high hopes for the S/NES games on the service and other than the first games and a couple rare exceptions...it's been garbage. Where's Super Mario rpg? Earthbound? Nintendo is notorious for not supporting services..it's not what it 'could' be.

@DestinyFomo Nintendo is able to get away with a lot of ****** up **** cuz nostalgia The 1st party games never drop price, the price of the online/expansion service, and they have been known to sue anyone that even comes close to their IP I love Nintendo still but gotta admit they get a pass

@gh0st_type_ @ProsafiaGaming You also got games EVERY month since the service. Nintendo's "Expansion Pak" costs 150% more than the base $20 fee and you get more than just decades old games for less. All but 5 of the Sega games are available in the Sega Classics Collection. That instantly devalues it.

@imancartoons **** nintendo but since people want to have this moral high ground with not working with certain companies. Then why the hell is he a twitch streamer lol. Despite ****** things twitch has done. People cant just stop immediately especially if it's their livelihood

Man, this discourse is exhausting The PM scene celebrated when one of our own got a gig with Nintendo a while back And reading "scab" is ludicrous, this isn't a labor rights issue Don't be mad at people for taking a job, pressure Nintendo on esports and IP policies

@NintendoAmerica I'll just brush off my rooms I guess. That's insanity expensive, especially paired with poor online service. 10 bucks extra, ill buy into this, not 40.
