Still stinks that the 2006 Family Guy game was planned for GameCube but was never released I wonder why...compression issues, being unable to get past Nintendo’s quality-of-life testing, or simply cancelled during development in fears that it would flop?

Or Nintendo never adds another expansion to AC again because they're Nintendo. If any game they have that would make sense as a live service, continually update game its AC. But they're struggling to put things out consistently. I'm guessing that's why the big content drop.

@ApostolicPaladN @NintendoAmerica The loyalty is the problem. Loyalty in economics is literally the key to being able to increase your prices and reduce your quality without big loss of consumer base. It allows a corporation to become too big to fail and that's exactly what they are.

Nintendo will release GC online for $60 dollars, and add melee but with 30 frames of input lag and wavedashing causing the game to slow to a crawl because it can’t handle it

Nintendo's support system is ******* garbage. To even get into contact with them I have to do their steps that already don't work, and when they are closed I can't even put in a ******* support ticket for my issue. Only four issues they deem worthy.

Mario Tennis and Star Fox 64 run great on #NintendoSwitchOnline, but Zelda OOT is BRUTAL! It feels like almost a half second of lag. How can Nintendo be this incompetent with emulation? Beyond frustrated since I mainly bought the expansion pack to experience Zelda OOT.

this has been a problem with first-party nintendo controllers since the wii. nintendo controllers used to age like wine but now they age a lot more like milk… COUGH. COUGH. JOY-CONS. COUGH.

@sumichu Biggest issue comes with transferring Nintendo Account over and Animal Crossing/Pokemon saves. Overall, i don't think the upgrade is worth the price tag. Perfect world, the Lite and OG would have dropped by $50 to make way for OLED

2. In 2017, the Nintendo Switch began to replace my PS4 as my indie machine. Additionally, I rediscovered Nintendo franchises I hadn’t played since the Wii (and not much even then) 3. In 2019, my launch PS4 began to hard crash if I tried to put it in sleep mode 2/?

Checked to see if my Switch had a problem since it kept repeatedly checking if “my software can be played”. It appears that somehow my console deregistered and is no longer my primary console. But i don’t HAVE another console. @NintendoAmerica help 😭

@NabbitFan730 @jycompany_ It's a problem when they take down a project that gains no monetary value, and not a problem when a project that is attempting to profit off Nintendo's intellectual property is taken down.

Nintendo is now Hiding the online service with N64 Games behind a Pay wall. A massive 50 dollar pay wall which in all fairness lets be real it should be 10 instead. And They haven't ******* did nothing with the service there drip feeding the consumers.

I genuinely like smash ultimate but the online literally makes it so unplayable. Nothing but projectile spam, camping and suspicious lag spikes. Why Nintendo allows this to continue being this way is such a stupid choice

Losing connection and having a lag fest in Mario Party Superstars on a connection with 1 Gig internet and an Ethernet cable. Nintendo, it is 2021. Why is this so hard??? Why am I paying $80 a year for this?

@IsMingg Apparently Nintendo and Elgato just kinda hate eachother??? I'm not sure! I stopped trying to fix mine for the time being. (｡T ω T｡) If you work out what's going on, would you mind letting me know aswell?

Nintendo's really trying to squeeze there loyal fans dry of all there money for a service that's barley worth it. I love you Nintendo but c'mon

@scully1888 @Toufool That isn't the excuse you think it is. Modern games have widened windows but older games do not. Which puts a higher standard on Nintendo to reduce the input lag the console itself generates together with any controllers cuz modern televisions are the factor they can't control

@Michaelton_ Well at least it is a service that has confirmed updates. You’d think with it being a subscription that would give them the incentive to improve it, but it’s Nintendo and nothing they do in regards to online stuff makes sense. God I love / hate this company
