@NicMcC83 That's the conclusion that I came to. From six months old, I was playing Atari, I learned to read by playing Sierra games like King's Quest and all the Nintendo games. My dad taught me math with F'd up 10 page long word problems... I could see the patterns.. Still fell prey.

With the first few days of using the Expansion Pack for the Switch, honestly it’s not worth your money. So many issues with the N64 games, however the Genesis is pretty cool. I guess the only thing Nintendo could say making the price justifiable is the convenience

@NintendoAmerica High Speed Internet as a requirement ? Don’t you mean high speed online service ?

Actually @Nintendo has HUGE problems. Their mii maker only contains one black hair style for both men and women. I was so excited to make Ryan Wilder in her Afro and @CamrusJ with natural hair and there is 0 REPRESENTATION

You know, I'm not mad about the #n64 **** show on the #switch. My problem is that nintendo has not stated that they are aware its a problem or any plans to fix it. **** happens and its all good if you guys need time, but tell us your working on it.

@Jawmuncher @CartridgeGames nintendo has had a very large amount of issues with the believing in a concept where if a sequel isn't different for better or worse, it's not worth it

@AttractMode used to work customer service at nintendo during the N64 era. one woman called saying she needed her clear atomic purple n64 cleaned, she “could see where the cockroaches has laid their eggs”

That is a better question, do I want more games with the Nintendo Online service or better service. Personally me, rather have the better service and mic support. Rather move forward with new games and not stick to the past.

Sucks that people are having trouble with the Nintendo 64 expansion. Can't relate

Why can't nintendo just get something right anymore? N64 emulation on the switch has input lag, audio lag, the weirdest (and uneditable) control scheme. smfh

@taralynn227_ My issue is personally with Nintendo. Am i weird? I don't like how they can't evolve and improve... 😦. Their online portion is almost as in the past of the OG Xbox... maybe PS3 at best... but not even... i don't recall the PS3 needing a phone to talk 🤔. PS3 did got trophies too

@AmyTandberg If you're not into phone gaming Nintendo Switch/3DS/DS is probably your best bet. Only problem is many games that you'll want to play won't be cheap(even used ones). That's the case in the U.S. anyway so I'm not sure about your location. Sorry I wish I had better news for you.

@PikminBloom Oh nice, can't login using my Nintendo account. Just the loading circle just spins and spins. Tried deleting and reinstalling and that did nothing. So far, not very inspired to play this game even though I love Pikmin.

On the topic of online avatars, Do people still give a **** about Miis? Is Nintendo's online service offering so ancient that attempting to cultivate a fictional self within it just actively more annoying than just making a Mii so that you can just use their hardware?

You know these N64 issues wouldn’t bother me if Nintendo had a record of fast patches and fixes along with a responsive customer service. History has always shown otherwise.

@Deebeegeek26 Shame the online isn't And I'm not being a hater: I love Nintendo and am old enough to had a SNES and playing every system so far, but, ow boy, the did ***** with that service No button maping and graphical issues managed to make worst cases then the price

@NintendoAmerica I don't think I've ever seen a game sell SO WELL that a demo is released a month after the retail version. Congrats! Now fix your N64 emulation.

Michael Stearns (@rvr67michael) reported
@DemonTomatoDave Does this happen in other games? One of my joycon sets is fine in handheld mode but gets seemingly random lag when I play on TV. Apparently Nintendo will fix this for free but I still haven't mailed them in.
-
The Geek Commentator (@geekcommentator) reported
@NintendoAmerica 0 because honestly the price for this is way too high. The value is not there especially given how bad the core online service is. and using your phone for voice chat is a complete joke! If this was an additional $5-$10 I'd be all over it but for $30 no way.

Dustimus Prime (@DUSTlMUS) reported
@markl1109 @NintendoAmerica My problem is that an official emulator should work better and have more features and probably offer more games although that's licensing that I don't fully have a grasp on. The Nintendo emulator shouldn't have online lag and a fourth second of input delay at the bare minimum.

@SwitchStockNews Guys, it’s possible. landed one today from @Nintendo with @HotStock_io I would recommend having a login and payment updated for all the retailers you are watching/willing to buy from. If you stop to login/create payment you won’t be quick enough. Good luck all!

@NintendoAmerica Is it safe to delete your island? Apparently there's a glitch where if somebody has you on their in friends list and you delete your Island, they won't be able to visit your new one. Was this ever fixed?
