@NintendoAmerica Screw your Expansion pack! fix your damn online servers first. I'm never buying a Nintendo product ever again. The audacity and incompetence for this price point and unreliability is over 9000! that's why you ratio'd on youtube with this announcement.

@SpawnWaveMedia Yea, it feels so bare minimum in so many ways It can definitely improve and I am hoping nintendo sees the issues and fixes them (such as with the memory pack for example for Mario kart 64) Plus, is it so much to want an option to have no god damn borders? Lol

@TheLoggernaut Nintendo just pisses me off these days. They charge their customers money for some of the worst online services and old games, which end up having worse performance and input lag compared to the originals. It's unacceptable.

@austin94256538 @NintendoAmerica It's really not that bad of a service. I get if you dont wanna spend 50 bucks for it.... but besides the money, I've been having fun playing these games on my switch.

@KevinKenson And, in this case,it makes sense to listen to the "vocal minority" since its made up of those who can discern (w/ credibility & expertise) as to how good of a job Nintendo did w/ this service. It's not a sure thing BUT I just think "vocal minority" has got some sway here.

@ScufGaming Can I use my PS4 SCUF on my Nintendo Switch? It’s not working on my Samsung smart phone for some reason? I just threw it against the wall and a paddle snapped. I want a refund

Seeing how **** the Switch's N64 emulator is, makes me VERY glad I didn't pay for it. 50 bucks a year for a service that barely works, **** off Nintendo lmao

@NintendoAmerica Pikmin was our First Gamecube game. I was used to playing Crash on Ps1 and Banjo on N64, but Pikmin looked Phot realistic xD

@NintendoAmerica Make the online service equivalent to sonys and Microsoft's if you're going to charge the same price. Or drop the price

I knew the N64 online for switch was gonna be *** lmao. Hopefully they fix it but I doubt it. Nintendo online always been ***

@EFFTENDO there shouldn't be an excuse for any issues whatsoever, its $30 more for a few 25 year old games, this should not be happening to ANYONE, nintendo is a massive cooperation and should not be dickridden

@kevin25valencia @younghavok @IntroSpecktive It's about the principle. Nintendo has routinely shut down amazing emulator projects that preserve their games and they expect us to pay $50 a year for **** that runs WORSE than Wii U VC It's literally a demake with a full second of input lag I could do that for free lmao

@errrcc @NintendoAmerica sorry, what was that, you see I have a life, I'm not hooked up to Twitter LOL. And I'll reply when I want to reply what's the rush, I said my peace, I paid for the service and I want to enjoy my games.

@TLatshaw *I* gave the service a chance because I know I’m “a sucker”, and I want to see its potential for growth first hand. My bar for Nintendo is as low as it can possibly be. If I don’t expect much, I can’t be disappointed. But *everyone else?* Nah, it’s probably not worthwhile.

@GAMER1984dude @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Only morons would think it’s a good idea to spend 50 dollars for an online service for n64 games that you can play for absolutely free on an emulator that offers better emulation then Nintendo lmao

@NintendoAmerica You really, REALLY, need to fix the games, lower the price, and increase the quantity. Come on, Nintendo, you're supposed to be better than this, what happened? #DontPaySwitchOnline

On a serious note: Nintendo was really greedy with this one and need to fix it ASAP, 50 bucks for this **** is insulting

@immagonnaget2 @YaBoiToxix @NintendoAmerica I play them to enjoy them all round, if the game is literally ugly, then thats a VERY VALID issue. Quit telling people to settle for laziness.

Watch Nintendo fans complain about the emulation quality enough to get Nintendo to fix OoT fog and whatnot but forget to complain about lack of rebindable controls and Nintendo skips that part.

@Toufool Nintendo expects me to pay for a bad emulator that doesn’t let me remap controls, has poor effect implementation, and horrible input lag, when there are free options that work so much better?

Turns out the Nintendo Expansion Pack N64 emulation sucks much more than expected. Massive input lag and framerates issues shouldn't be a thing on such a powerful handheld. I can play those games better on my Vita, come on. I don't see how anyone can defend this.

@NintendoAmerica @NintendoAmerica please fix the missing Game Pak issue and input lag issues. For 50 dollars/year I expected a bug tested product. Disappointed.
