@NintendoAmerica This is why I stoped paying for Nintendo switch online (apart from bad connection issues): you guys are just adding stuff on the service that isn't really interesting...

@NintendoAmerica @CrashBandicoot yes we are getting crash 4 on switch

@raspberryart_ @NintendoUK Sure it shows some support to those developers but most of these games, nobody asked for and they're only complaining because nintendo is still some what refusing to fix the service

@Kotaku Love how people are downplaying this versus when Nintendo first had this issue. It's almost like no video game company is infallible and should be held accountable for the quality of products they churn out.

@Kotaku @Sony Did you say class action lawsuit? That’s ridiculous if these PS5 controls drift. I have OG PS3 controls that still work flawlessly & 4 PS4 controllers that have also never had an issue. I hope Sony addresses this issue promptly. I deal with enough Nintendo drift already. 😑

@cuccrio @ChrisBRFC91 @NintendoUK First off third party doesn't fix the issue Secondly you could do party chat in handheld or if your was on desk close to you with that logic

People act like joycon drift is some big nintendo problem but every 360 controller I ever owned eventually drifted. I can't be the only one why does nobody talk about 360 drift?

I expect Nintendo to repeat this again, even though they have just released game trailers for their upcoming games such as crash 4 but there is still a chance for something big to happen. Both of the directs I’ve looked at were at 23:00 UK time the day after they said something.

@CocoMuir_ @NintendoUK Square owns Chrono Trigger so they’d have to make some kind of deal with Nintendo for it to be on NSO. But since it’s a subscription service they would either have to take some kind of cut from profits or sell a license which probably isn’t profitable for Nintendo in the long run

(@psyniac_123) reported
@TheSplosh @CocoMuir_ @NintendoUK There is a big difference in that the SNES Mini was an item for sale whereas the Online service is essentially free games, so I think that would be a factor contractually. For the record, I'm all about it - I'd love both of the games mentioned on the Switch!

@sackboy5055 @NintendoAmerica Im not saying 3rd party games Like there are still first party, no legal issues ganes nintendo is not putting on the service and that's weird

@Crash1mill @ItsukiSword As long as Sony actually fixes that issue instead of saying "no, it's not a problem" like nintendoes, i'm fine with that.

@ChubsGlobby @NintendoAmerica Compare to PSN the Nintendo online service is really rubbish..... Unfortunately, you must subscribe or you cannot play games online

I noticed some are adapting the "cancel culture" to the video game company they grew up, Nintendo. From Joy-con drift issue to cancelled Netflix adaptation of Legend of Zelda. This toxic behavior must be stop.

@scully1888 @oleivarrudi I am never going to complain about Nintendo releasing games on the service, no matter what games. However, they have been extremely slow at rolling them out. The service is just poorly executed. Btw. Fire'N Ice is fire! Same with Doomsday Warrior. Psycho looks cool

@NintendoUK Can't we get some actual fighting games on the damn service!?

(@Venny_Evan) reported
@Zari_Wari @NintendoAmerica Isn't the point of putting obscure retro games on the service to get more people to play games they might like and have never heard of? I feel like people only want games like Earthbound because it's Earthbound and not because they will actually play it.

I think Nintendo needs to offer refunds or at least allow us to return the money in our debit/credit card Incase, it’s just simple customer service that goes long ways

@mrmeech1981 @CeXSupport You can return it to Nintendo they'll repair it for free and pay for the shipping had the same problem its a known issue and Nintendo are being taken go court over it

I don't mind what Nintendo includes in the SNES/NES online thing, the service is garbage.

@antdude92 Yeah but where are the other consoles? It's stuff like this that makes me mad. Nintendo is literally giving us snes and nes games, little by little, and purposefully delaying the other consoles to suck our money continuously with the garbage online service.

@comet_melting People would buy Nintendo switch online...if they weren’t paying for dog **** onlin that isn’t even playable. Nintendo is the richest of the three gaming giants thanks to Pokémon alone. (Fact!) so wtf is thier problem?

@KitKatisWeird7 @Fox43372330 @NintendoAmerica The best way to stop piracy is to offer people a better service than the pirates offer -Gaben So basically Nintendo has this service which is literally 20$ A YEAR and instead of putting actually good games they do this things and blame pirates

With Nintendo's lagging backwards compatibility, the only reason I want a Switch Pro or next gen backwards-compatible console is to turn my current Switch into an emulation machine.

(@SpindaSuperFan) reported
But in all seriousness yeah this isn’t acceptable in any form or fashion. People should be able to buy a controller and know it will be usable throughout their console’s lifespan. Both Sony and Nintendo have got to fix that
