@PyroMDyet @infrarogue89 Nobody else is jumping in on the Netflix of gaming, even the top two platform holders who would have way more to gain from it than MS right? Like Nintendo has over 100m consoles sold from switch alone and a sub service and they still not doing this?

@cloakzy I got my late cousins Sega, my old Nintendo 2DS, my old wii, and I’m finally old enough to make my own money to buy whatever games I want. So I’ve been alternating those when I’m not working.

I’m honestly glad that we’re getting a strikers update, but I think this shows the problem with the free update Structure. Sure we do get some updates but sometimes we get the bare minimum and I’m really sick of nintendo releasing incomplete games.

I doubt PlatinumGames are prepping themselves to be bought by Nintendo by hiring a former executive. Being bought would hinder Platinums goals of self publish and live service. This reminds me when Grasshopper listed Nintendo as a "major client"; only then to be bought by NetEase

@PoorlyAgedStuff overheating joycon drift that they have refused to acknowledge or fix for years terribly optimized games that hardly hit 30fps in *720p* when main games are 90-100 cad after tax and blah blah blah nintendo making the console feel soulless blah blah. the switch is fun but *******

@BriannaRoseBLM @jodiede It's literally one of their biggest live service games, heck it would make me pay for Nintendo's online JUST to play with my friends!

I think the real problem with these Nintendo leakers accounts is that many people believe them too much to later get mad if they were wrong. I personally find it nice to get topics to speculate about when nothing comes out from the official sources

@BrownieGarf Ok you want an alternative ? Let older games and consoles in public domain so that retrogaming via emulation is not a problem anymore. Spoiler: Nintendo would prefer to keep the online services open than giving anything to public domain.

I've stated this before, but at this point, I won't have a problem if Nintendo just straight up either owns the Bayonetta IP or share the ownership of the IP with Sega.

@BrownieGarf @RealUltraFox @NintendoAmerica So no, I don't support nintendo deciding that their expansive catalogue of games should be put up on the shelf where no one can get it. They're more than capable of having a decent virtual console service, they've done it before.

@LonelyGoomba While I'm looking forward to some games, like Xenoblade, I'm overall quite disappointed with Nintendo, to be honest. I'm not a fan of their anti-consumer practices recently and most of their games weren't really for me, although that's my problem (and my wallet's).

@navjotS17534865 @RealUltraFox @NintendoAmerica The real problem is that they're sending C&Ds to sites that WANT to preserve games. They're releasing games with content purposefully removed for future DLC. They're joining the "subscription" system too. Shutting down servers has to happen eventually.

@duel3000 I think this problem is specific to nintendo because devs for these consoles and the company themselves have taken meticulous care in making games for these systems…yet this is the company that treats individual games as disposable, worse than any other publisher.

can nintendo stop with the "live service" bullshit? it only works if you have consistent updates but they've shown that they're incapable of that.

@smugwave as much as i too would love that, nintendo isn't likely to do so due to copyright issues and the series being unfortunately rather dead

@WBGamesSupport @SuperSparker This is still happening, and happens in Playstation, xbox, wii, and nintendo switch. Shame on you not launching a patch to fix it, we cannot complete the game. You released a broken game.

@Shinesparkers @NintendoAmerica Consumers deserve a legal and legitimate alternative way to *own* these games. **** Nintendo’s recent bid to strip consumer rights and turn their legacy games into a subscription-based online service. Requiring a subscription and internet connection to play OG Metroid is insane

@PoorlyAgedStuff The Steam deck can't run 1st party Nintendo games without piracy/emulation. The Switch also doesn't have the wacky *** button placement and annoying track pads. The Switch also avoids online-only DRM that's a huge unaddressed issue on PC.

It seems like original Super Smash Brothers might be coming to the Switch Online expansion pack service. It isn't a matter of time, it is a matter of when, there are other games that could become available soon as well like Wave Race 64 or Pilotwings 64. Keep tuned to Nintendo!!!

Hey @BoThompsonWBT how about hearing “You’ve got mail!” Having a phone on the wall with a cord that was stretched out to reach the bathroom so you could have a private conversation. Maybe blowing into the Nintendo cartridge so it didn’t glitch.

@LilAl85855 My biggest problem with goombas tweet, like keep that same energy for all gaming besides indies then but he says he's fine with gaming in general besides Nintendo. Honestly they've taken more risks than any other AAA publisher over the last 5 years

@LilinaGaming Besides games preservation is just that. Imagine for a software error Nintendo Switch becomes globally bricked for any reason an emulation of the rom of the game IS game preservation. Take for example arcade games, most of them are dissapearing and thanks to emulation people play
