but fr these feel so halfassed, its like Nintendo randomly remembers they have an online service and throw some random *** roms. barring the fact there's still better snes games to port, what about any other console?

@NintendoAmerica Great, more junk. #nintendoswitchonline is a terrible service. I probably won't renew my subscription.

the whole SNES/NES switch online thing is super funny because at this point Nintendo's clearly struggling to negotiate licenses for a service that's honestly in some ways less enticing than Tetris 99 lol

@trikster1103 They could just make it available without having to go through the trouble of creating a Japanese Nintendo account

@TheFantasticIan @NintendoAmerica Square's likely the issue with SMRPG, they have no games on the service at all as of now Earthbound is totally on Nintendo though

@NintendoAmerica I'm not gonna be one of those people complaining about no Earthbound, or lack of other consoles. But I do gotta say this is the weakest list of games I've ever seen released on this service. None of these look very appealing at all, and I've never heard of a single one of them

Endlessly great to me how hard the Nintendo Online service is swerving into just releasing whatever now, it feels like when your parents didn't really know games and just got you what looked cool

@PlayerEssence Nintendo fans be licking that load off the dilk just for some crusty ******* NES games when Nintendo flat out ignored the pile of **** they call an “online service” LOL pathetic

@Doctor_Cupcakes tbh I like that nintendo finds obscure or lesser known stuff for this service. could probably do with less crappy fighting games tho.

@BrianPickett "We at Nintendo have hired one man to travel across the country, and whatever games he finds at yard sales and flea markets are what go onto the service."

@MarioManiac88 @NintendoAmerica Square I can understand a little bit, but they had no problem getting DKC on NSO so I’m pretty sure they could get it on there. EarthBound they have no excuse though

Going to be wild when Switch 2 comes out and Nintendo reboots their subscription service so you have to beg for Prehistorik Man all over again.

@Fawfulthgreat64 @NintendoAmerica I just want VC back, not this subscription nonsense. I just want to buy games and own them. I just want N64, GBA, and GB games at this point. I know that GC and Wii would have issues even though I want them so fine, but those former 3 didn't have many issues.

William Wing (Lynel For Smash)
(@theonlywilliamw) reported
@Sephiyroth @NintendoAmerica I really wanted Jonsey in smash or just the default outfit since there were 8 of them but since there’s only 3 spots left I don’t see him getting in. I personally would want Crash Jonsey and Lynel for the final 3 spots.

@PushDustIn It’s not surprising with Nintendo and Xbox joysticks having this problem. Why can anyone figure this out.

@Cringecastgay @NintendoAmerica First off I spelt the word prehistoric based on the spelling of the game did you not look at any of the game titles? LOL secondly that’s the correction that auto typing did for Misspell Forgetting a space is hardly a spelling error

Nintendo really waits 3 months just so they can put some SNES and NES games that no one actually cares about whats the point of the service?

Nintendo Fans Complaining About Nintendo
(@AboutNintendo) reported
@RoseFromTheAshs @NintendoAmerica Probably what's most likely is the unknown legal issues with putting the game on an online subscription service. If they're purposely holding it back it's a bad move, but knowing all the legal stuff surrounding the Mother series, there's probably a reason we haven't seen it yet.

@TommoTheCabbit given the leaks that happened awhile back its clear nintendo is actually pretty good at archiving theirs' (and everyone else's) stuff. problems is that licensing stuff for a service like this is pretty expensive and they obviously are just going cheap for it

i'm telling ya i genuinely don't think they're ever gonna add Earthbound to the SNES retro service because i think nintendo considers it a "premium" retro game of sorts, enough that they price it more on Virtual Consoles
