Sure, FOMO feels awful, i want to play N64 on my Switch, but 1- I cannot pay for that and 2- I'm genuinely disgusted at how ****** Nintendo is acting with this deliveringa broken mess of an emulator for that much money

@NintendoAmerica Nah keep that crap, not buying that service or the controllers for poorly emulated games.

@QuestForTori @SilverChangling Sure would make piecemealing the content that much more difficult to justify. Not counting rights issues. Remember Harvest Moon 64 on Wii U? That apparently took real work on Nintendo's part they originally declined the release due to emulation issues during development.

@younghavok @edgy_birb @IntroSpecktive But the problem is they treat regular consumers like losers for not wanting to pay nintendo a lifetime fee as if it's providing internet, power and God's blessing in their homes

So I bought the Nintendo Expansion Pack. I haven’t encountered any glitches and I’m having fun. I have faith that Nintendo will fix the glitches people are experiencing so I’m not going to complain about the price. My morning coffee was more expensive than the monthly price.

@pwzx4 I’m not talking about just the switch, Im talking about Nintendo as a whole company, with my issues including but certainly not limited to: Terrible online service Lack of worthwhile updates for the Switch Overpriced games Lack of any major support for game preservation

@ladyz0e yeah but I need that dollar a week. Nintendo should pay me to use their service. this is the only solution.

@DynamoSuperX ... you know it would not lag at all if Nintendo actually made their service better and not use pier to pier connections for a service you have to pay over 50 bucks for, right?

@AbramidesJoao @CocoaFox023 I know but I can't say for certain how good/bad the online connection is of everyone. For example I'm seeing a Nintendo Life video of 2 people playing Mario Kart 64 and they haven't had any issues as far as I have seen. Again, it's hard to grasp the internet connection of people

no, I *don't* care that it works in your specific usercase. I care that *the overwhelming majority of users have problems and that Nintendo is charging $50 for a Hope This Works*.

I'm frankly sort of surprised people are assuming Nintendo is going to address the problems with their N64 titles instead of just quietly soaking in praise as they load up two or three ROMs every three months for the next year before even that stops.

Shoplifting has become a real problem at where I work. Not because it hurts us financially. But because we have so little in stock that every theft means a paying customer doesn't get what they need. And damn it, what they need right this second is games for the Nintendo Switch!

(@djwatt24) reported
@NVPlays Yeah it's so expensive and knowing Nintendo it could take long enough to get the big games on the service.

My NSO N64 cold takes: Nintendo should fix the app so button mapping is enabled within it, and users should be provided with a toggle for Controller Pak or Rumble Pak. Also N64 app probably needed a few more months before releasing it.

@Emceemur At this point I’m just waiting for Nintendo to put Wii U virtual console games on sale so I can stock up before they shut the servers down.

@JoeLongBalls @grimm_j1mm R* are honestly the worst for this, Nintendo will go after fan games but R* will go after people trying to fix their bad ports.

Nintendo will probably forever ignore everyone's issues with the online service honestly. They've made a lot of money off of it already to not see it as much of a problem.

@David_Jagneaux For me I’m mostly holding off because of the increased cost. Nintendo hasn’t justified the added cost with the quality of their service. I’m sure the quality of the emulation is fine. I was watching some of your stream last night while I worked and looked good.

Nintendo won't tell me how much their upgraded service costs in real terms if I choose to upgrade and thinks it should be secret until my membership renews next year, at which point I'll get a mystery discount. How is this company even real?

@QuestForTori @SilverChangling Harvest Moon 64 is the only N64 game on the service where Nintendo had zero involvement with publishing. The effort this time is a step forward, but is it enough?

Waking up with back pain sucks but at least I didn't spend 50 on Nintendo online service and n64 emulators

If these rumours about Nintendo switch online for the Nintendo 64 having lag are true that really bums me out because there's actually a lot of good games available on that service especially WinBack

Today is the biggest “I TOLD You So!” Day in gaming news. Housemarque caves & adds a resume feature to Returnal some 6 months too late. And the N64 games on Nintendo’s overly expensive online service are crappy emulated versions w/bad graphics that can’t save properly. Genius
