@TopoOcean Really comes down to the overhead and if it actually goes into helping the online infrastructure. No one knows for sure, those numbers are usually hidden pretty well. I will say though, for what Nintendo wants to charge, their service is FAR from Xbox Live quality.

I'm starting to think that when Gabe Newell came up with his "piracy is a service issue" he was throwing shade at Nintendo

So even if it does seem gloomy you can try to make a change but I doubt we could do anything all that meaningful for not just this but many of Nintendo's problems in general, like they should be held accountable for corporate stalking but otherwise I'm just real sad man, real sad

@GraceKraft They need more switch units sold and forcing their online service on everyone. Membership purchases along side digital game downloads. Nintendo's practices and the way they treat their fanbase makes me not want to purchase anything from them anymore.

Joycons are probably Nintendo's biggest scam of all time because they know they're a faulty product, refuse to fix the issues that make them faulty in current models and stock and still charge abysmal amounts of money for them

I hate this. I hate this more than any other stupid Nintendo decision. There are so many 3DS and Wii U games that I am not going to be able to collect before they destroy the service. I feel so helpless about it. And it's stupid right? They're just video games. But- aaaaaaaaaagh!

@imsoniceandkind Nintendo gets paid, people get their games, and the crash will permanently take out the servers. Everybody wins

@NintendoAmerica Your HQs policies and decisions are just sad. While Phil Spencer is the voice of reason for game preservation, you just ignore your impressive legacy. Just bring compatible WiiU games to Switch eShop. What is the problem? #Nintendo #XBox

Do I like that Nintendo doesnt put their games on sale, nope, but I dont spend time complaining about it... If I want to play a game, I will buy it... if you cant afford it... well... I mean, thats your problem not mine.

@AlphaOmegaSin Emulation is the only real option 😎 Nintendo could have had their “Nintendo Online” / Virtual Console service across multiple of their devices, “locking down” customers to keep buying their new hardware as they’ve invested in the digital games and service.

@CatboiVilly @NintendoAmerica Ah yes, use our laggy *** streaming service instead, it completely includes Wii u games

Switch era Nintendo sucks tbh. It feels like they ride way too much on their games and consoles selling but never think about the other stuff. Totally don't give a **** about fixing a subpar lame service while also overpricing them to hell alonf with having **** servers.

@sladewatkins Agreeddddd it's so over priced and for the same online service we had for free... Doesn't help nintendo online ****** over splatoon 2, a $60 game where 90% of it is locked behind a paywall at the moment.

Have been busy for a while now. I have been neglecting my Nintendo Switch too. Feeling overwhelmed with home furniture hunt/issues, overfilled weekends, work and new work related issues, plus wedding stuff (even though I don't do much). I just want to dissappear after this w/end

@NintendoAmerica You heard it here first, folks. Get your copy of Brain Age on the Virtual Console now to jailbreak your Wii U to play games illegitimately while you can! Lest you be unable to put games on there at all, let alone the legal way. (Piracy is a service issue uwu)

@NintendoAmerica Well you know the ribbon cable inside my 3DS disconnected and now it won't turn on so hopefully I'm able to fix that **** myself to see if my purchases are still there. Otherwise if I can't that's all the Fire Emblem DLC just ******* gone you know.

@HypnoBassist The Wii U disaster actually forced them to care a bit, but that's no longer a problem. They can do what they want because Nintendo drones will buy their games and ****** services.

@NintendoAmerica now I will say the disclaimer to this is that it's not the same case with the Switch cause many have picked that up unlike WiiU, but problem still stands. you got the other 2 being able to keep their shops open for older systems. another history repeating itself.

@Malzykins IMO there isn’t really clear info. All Nintendo has said is that they are shutting down shop, bank will be free for a certain period of time. The shop will eventually. It’s not clear how long the actual cloud service will stay operational.

@XanderIsALoser @TrendanBrendan @NintendoAmerica They've announced that Pokémon Bank and Transporter can no longer be downloaded. In spite of this, the service will still be running and free to all users who have downloaded them. It's unknown when the service will end or when it will become free but for now it's staying.

-certain Virtual Console games -and whatever special themes I can still get from Nintendo Badge Arcade. Badge Arcade is a free service, so I won't have to worry about Badges until 3ds Online goes down.

@Mango_Magician @TempestasLeo @ActualAero Because they don’t spend time on it to perfect it? That’s a problem with laziness, not the hardware, i’ve literally ran Wii/GC/DS games on Switch with homebrew, it’s perfectly capable of Nintendo to do.

@Staggerrilla I bought GOW 2018 last year on the ps store for 20 bucks lmfao one of their main system sellers. Botw has been 60 bucks for 5 years it's nonsense and this is just one of the massive amount of problems with nintendo as a company.

@cazlone Don’t support Nintendo’s subscription service if you value your consumer rights. Push @NintendoAmerica to keep digital ownership an option.

@Staggerrilla So you agree that it is a negative thing and yet it's a problem for people to complain about it? It's not even one of my biggest problems with Nintendo in fact it's one of the smallest. But I don't get your logic
