@Damo9G If I deleted my Nintendo account, all of my Switch online access goes away too. Same if I dropped my Microsoft account for my XBox. Again you seem to have a personal issue with Facebook and it’s tainting your logic center.

The worst part of their stupid service, is that instead of improving on the damn thing, they decided to make a 30$ increase FOR RENTED ROMS, ROMS we can already emulate pretty much everywhere else. But nintendo fanboys will find a way to defend this.

@destructoid Problem is Nintendo will get the idea that we hate N64 content and ignore the real reason why we hate their horrible subscription

@Xbox, @PlayStation Can you please explain to @NintendoAmerica how to make an Online Service? They're trying, but they just can't seem to get it.

Honestly... I think Nintendo should just do the way ps3 was with online... Just make online free an have a bonus subscription service to pay for instead, their online sucks anyway... #Nintendo

@FerretMiax @ChristinaTasty the marketing didn’t help but the hardware was horrid as was the price point. the gamepad was one of the worse ideas nintendo ever had and it created so many issues. also with how out of touch the company was, there were so many bad/underwhelming games

@TanookiKuribo growing up in the 80s this is super accurate. Also let me point out that Nintendo at the time was not anywhere as big as it now. They were willing to do whatever it took to get a hold of the Western game market because the video game market had just recovered from a crash.

@ChristinaTasty IIRC, one of the main problems with the Wii U was marketing. If it was named something more distinct, it probably would have maintained a better market share early on. While Wii 2 would probably have been adequate, I feel like the "Nintendo Tabula" would have been more fitting.

@RGT_85 NSO just gets worse and worse every time Nintendo updates it Why can't Nintendo get it through their heads that they need to provide a functional online service before they focus on all this other junk like ROMs, vouchers, controllers and animal crossing DLC?
-

(@J0nSPEC) reported
@Wildbergerrrr The price is supposedly due to licensing issues. Sega and other third parties who have their games on there are getting a big cut. It has nothing to do with the Animal Crossing DLC. If anything Nintendo threw that in to make it more attractive, not to bump up the price.

@NintendoAmerica you guys should have a buy option for games with the genesis and n64 games coming with switch online expansion pack. All I want is Ocarina of Time and don’t want to subscribe for a service just to play t…..

@ShaNexxus @RGT_85 Because I'd like to have a good online service on my Switch But Nintendo would rather focus on stupid **** like ROMs instead of good online

@BombosMedallion Doesn’t matter. Maintenance usually starts at 7:30. To be fair though, the nintendo maintenance page doesn’t show a smash outage yet unlike what it normally does.

Fandom is garbage lol Unrelated, it's deeply embarrassing when smug webcomics spend multiple panels critiquing a ludicrously specific "cultural problem" they heard about from the modern equivalent of Their Uncle Who Works for Nintendo Smug webcomics should hire smug editors

@Spindash54 @GameStopCanada @PMDotNet I've never had any issues with this. They definitely know to only give out 1 per person, not to mention I've never seen Nintendo be stingy with these codes.

@Danakunlol @TKbreezy No offense but this take is hot garbage lmao. Xbox and PlayStation both offer a huge amount of games for the same price they have always charged for their services whereas Nintendo expects us to pay twice the amount of their service for like 2things that we’ve wanted since day 1.

@Ashler_LU @ShaylaStewart_ @NintendoUK You’re missing the point. The infrastructure is required to run the service. That needs funding that’s why companies like Sony and Microsoft charge for it. It’s not free

Wait a minute FEH didn't gave out compensations for the Nintendo error but Dragalia did? Yeah i feel like Nintendo doesn't even care about their mobile games even a bit and it's definitely Cygames decision to gave out the error compensations for Dragalia

I have no problem admitting that I am pro life. It's easy to keep your legs shut or to use birth control. being easier than a Nintendo game does not mean you have the right to kill a baby

@quirkygworl @nintendolife Nintendo’s online service is a JOKE compared to competition, and there is no way you could ever justify the price of a couple tons being $30 extra dollars a year lmao. Hell Steam blows Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo’s online features out of the water and it’s free…

The Nintendo fanboys are still going to buy the overpriced online service, like they did with the amiibo, mini consoles, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, etc. because they lack self-worth and restraint.
