@baphohazard Unfortunately it seems like getting these magazines have gotten even harder since when I first looked (so getting the Nintendo Dream issue would be hopeless 😔) After looking it seems that there are now only two listings available at the moment,

At the very least Nintendo gave a year warning before it will shut down the service unlike Sony that tried to do it within a month. And we still need ways to preserve games but point still stand that we overlook greatness until it is too late to make a difference.

@NihilistGamer @dragongaiden @MyNintendoNews Problem is, N64 was using underpowered cartridges when Nintendo's competitors were using CDs. The Gamecube came out with its use of half-assed, half sized cds.

@HatokTalk a loaded question is like what's your favorite nintendo online service the controversial assumption would be that any of them are good, and the answer would be meaningless because they're all bad and the person asking would look foolish cuz they'd be saying one of them is good

@KerimKwasTaken @onion_mu It's kind of the nature of installing CFWs or jailbreaks. Sometimes people managed to exploit the 3DS browsers to install CFWs on a 3DS. You could install a CFW the same way you used to jailbreak an iPhone. However Nintendo is quick to fix those exploits.

it’s crazy how scummy of a company nintendo is. putting up decade old ports of games for $60, shutting down access of over 1,000 games with no plans to make them accessible again, and not to mention the awful online subscription service. it just sucks to see.

@TheUnaButters Nintendo made a game with this called Splatoon and if you're any good at it you have this turned on. It's only beneath mouselook as an accurate way to aim as an input. The only downside is aiming across long spans, which you fix buy just having both stick and gyro.

@TheNCSmaster Agreed. And that’s my stance on emulation as well. Or it’s just the matter of a game is so rare/scarce. I’m gonna emulate it. But if I have means to purchase it officially. I will. And it’s not just Nintendo that has a issue with classic games. Microsoft, even Sony 1/2

@Pikointeractive @hard4games Wikipedia doesn't get sued because it has the Nintendo logo on it. Its obvious from the context that the logo is just informational, and if that isn't good enough, you can put a disclaimer about it, like millions of products do. This isn't a real issue.

@DrRoland791 @T3chINj3cti0n @thatmummarocks Exactly, there's still a good 100m+ players still stuck in last gen and Sony is still pushing PS4s and as per their communication have it in their future release plans...at least until 2026. The S is well positioned to become the alternative console. Nintendo has no spec problem.

@swami_msn @Vamos13Real @TruGiffers I think manufacturers just don't know if they're defective or not until they get into customers hands. Nintendo can't really change the design right now because they would kinda be admitting that there's a problem-- which means they'll have to pay money. They'll probably settle.

Nintendo: - Supports NFTs quietly but is afraid of PR issues - Removes ability to purchase roms, leaving only the Switch's expensive and inferior rental system - Promotes scalping via artificial scarcity - Destroys any creative effort from fans in the name of "IP protection"

@akaimizu @forestminish The issue is that it was an mediocre game, but an *awful* Metroid game. Lol I would argue, and Nintendo has themselves, that Nintendo's task isn't just to make good games, it's to steward their IPs. Nothing about MPFF needed or benefitted from being Metroid associated. 1/?

@uncleR_ichie @madmcc013 The only thing I don't like about Splatoon is that the newer games require a Nintendo Online subscription for online play. It seems like Nintendo is pushing people into buying their subscription service and I'm not going to support that.

@NintendoAmerica One of the best games of all time but does it seriously have to be locked behind an expansion pack? People already payed for NSO, why force them to pay more? The least you could do is re-release them outside of a subscription service.

@Asterix811 @Lisnovski @Akfamilyhome I uploaded Mario Tennis Aces' title screen theme when it was having a pre-release online demo and there was never any issue. These things are to be expected, if Nintendo doesn't want it they can do their testing behind closed doors.

@Manta_Wild Luckily they plan to maintain bank by making it free (so you don’t have to use the eshop for it to function) The real issue comes when Nintendo itself shuts down wifi.
