@CartridgeGames I don't think Nintendo did anything with Retro. Attrition "fixed" Retro, or made them less of an issue. Next Level is supposed to be a mess too. Nintendo just drops in a project lead from NCL, and doesn't really care how the project gets to the finish line as long as it's good.

@TheNCSmaster Nintendo desperately needs to re-issue so many of the amiibo figures the prices are ridiculous. Ridley finally is available again at GameStop and Dark Samus is at Best Buy though

@BlopKitsune @BraixSB @NathanielBandy1 Just playing the Nintendo nes and snes games work good with people I play with and MK8 and splatoon I don’t have issues with the worst I’ve had was smash but I generally don’t experience many issues but that’s just me

I'd say 80% of this is MSFT inability to market Xbox as a platform with games vs a platform with Game Pass. Nintendo and Sony are very good at making releases feel special, and Xbox sort of makes most feel insignificant because marketing is tied to a volume service.

@NintendoFunnie I think these posts come some unresolved issues due to Nintendo never releasing yoshis cookies or whatever on it but them taking half revenue from youtubers is a total nonissue because most of them are **** anyways

@IronJoeBro I pretty much changed my take on the issue. buying the Expansion is basically renting the DLc for a year. Also, Game Pass is $180 a year and Ps+ with PSNow is $120 a year. Nintendo’s expansion is $50 a year. You are basically paying a “You get what you pay for” service.

lemme put my Nintendo heads on game rq...swing thru that walm*rt game section once and a while. look for obvious price discrepancies and stock errors (eg. a $60 game in a $20 slot).......

I'd also like it if any Nintendo game would work without constant server issues. Charge me more when I can play smash without unplayable lag when any other Non-Nintendo game works absolutely fine. Warframe, rocket league, and fortnite give 0 issues but Slaton still lags out.

@Prof9 I get how subscriptions work, and normally this wouldn't be as big a deal to me, but this is way overpriced, especially on account of how shoddy Nintendo's internet usually is. I've got the basic family plan and it has issues pretty often. $80 for the full plan is insane.

My problem with the price hike for the Nintendo online expansion is that the benefits just aren't there to justify it like with PSN and GamePass. Cool, you busted out an emulator and the ROMs that were available from sites you shut down.

@NintendoAmerica please fix Smash Bros online, when an opponent disconnects from me, I get q ban, it's unfair that I constantly have to wait out half an hour and hour long bans because my opponent quits...

Can we stop saying that "XBox is doing online right"? No, they have not. No one should have to pay a fee to play online. Just because their service is better than Nintendo's doesn't mean it's okay to charge people for a basic functionality that you can have for free on a PC.

(@formulademon) reported
@BlopKitsune @BraixSB @NathanielBandy1 No I haven’t the problem is is that Nintendo still uses P2P for connection instead of servers so you could have bomb internet but if someone has crappy internet your playing with that affects you but on games I play I don’t really experience issues.

@jayden_234 yeah the connection issues suck. as far as I can tell, that’s mostly b/c Nintendo doesn’t run games on dedicated servers and rely pretty much entirely on p2p. that’s gonna suck when you play anyone across the country, esp. when most people use wifi & the Switch’s chip is butt

@loganator817 @dawa_lion @DJK1NG_Gaming Everything doesn’t have to be for you to find it valuable to exist. That’s the problem. The narcissistic behavior of people angry that not everything caters to or is for them. Nintendo does game demo’s for online do you see me complaining that they’re games I own? No.

@nostologic I'm not the biggest N64 or SEGA fan to begin with so this isn't really a draw for me. Then on top of the added additional cost with the "Nintendo Switch Online" service I'll be passing on it.

@OCTOGummie It has to be an internal circuit. Might want to go take it in, or go see a specialist that can fix Nintendo switches.

Is it wrong that I think that if Nintendo can secure the daunting licensing hell of Goldeneye 007 for NSO Expansion, it’d almost guarantee a lot of sales and continued service subscriptions (especially online multiplayer)? Unless they can get the game as a standalone buyable game

My latest gaming purchase is the final 40 issues of the UK Nintendo Official Magazine (give or take a couple of issues), from 2011 to 2014. Bought in a lot for a bargain. I have a brain disease. Please help me!

@DodgerBlueKills @PlayStation one of the benefits of it being portable is that your games can always be on stand by 100% of the time so they do load instantly. as far as load times between games that has never been a problem on Nintendo consoles.

@nyxmidnight The problem with Metroid specifically though is that it's *always* struggled as far as sales go, and an article showing how to pirate the latest release could - in theory anyway - do some damage to the sales numbers, making Nintendo more likely to just shelf the series as a whole

@NintendoAmerica Bad company 1. Charges $20 a year for a barley functional online service. 2. Charges $80 for faulty Joycons and refuses to fix them. 3. Releases reskins of games that costs more than the original. 4. Limits the release window of anticipated games.

I’ve been playing Metroid dread on hard mode with this pro controller delay, no wonder everything has been so dreadful to accomplish. @NintendoAmerica what controller is the controller with the least issues
