@Allan_Jones_AL @NintendoUK People wanting a better deal for a service that doesn’t do much of anything isn’t a bad thing. If the majority thinks it’s a ****** ducking deal, then it’s a ****** ******* deal plain and simple

@kidsmoove @Minecraft Forget that, PlayStation and Nintendo switch versions are terrible. They are buggy and crash all the time. Unplayable if you are trying to play multiplayer 😔. So glad I'm on PC now.

@FireDragons53 @yoracrab @NintendoAmerica Friendly reminder that it's not illegal if you aren't provided a service for it.

@howintensive @JimmyTheDunn Thus far it has not disappointed. It has that classic Nintendo feel of difficult puzzles and problems but not mind-numbingly torturous and frustrating.

@phantomliger89 @OmarWott @LonelyGoomba People still try to act like Nintendo’s 50 dollar barren service is MILES CHEAPER than XBL/PA+’s 60 dollar service filled with things people want in an online service. “Nintendo is only 4 dollar and 354 megashits a month!!! so cheap!!!”

With the $50 12/mo. price point for the Nintendo Online Expansion, how often will new games be added @NintendoAmerica to the service? Will current users get a discounted offer that depends on the remaining time of their current subscription?

You got a problem with the price of the Nintendo switch online expansion pass! How about you get your money up

@ExpansionLord @JunoLake @Sunsel15 Licensing issues. Nintendo has to pay every company that gets a game on Nintendo Switch Online. Microsoft is getting Rare games, Sega is getting an entire collection, and apparently Capcom is getting games down the line.

@Mashimaro77 @Allan_Jones_AL @NintendoUK The relevation really came to me when I started playing on PC a bit more "Wait, you're telling me I can buy the original Half Life on the same service that I could 20 years ago!? It's never been taken down or anything!? IT GOES ON SALE!?!?"

@SasamiRari @AberlourSpey Sure we can talk later. We seem to have an understanding though. I'm against the cloud service games Nintendo has to do too... why not have actual carts and ports of Kingdom Hearts? Especially in rural areas or terrible ISP, can't really play.

@tomathius @ExpansionLord Microsoft is able to offer a service where they license out HUNDREDS of games from DOZENS of publishers, all for a fifth of the price Nintendo is offering licensing issues is a non-problem here

@DarkEIement @NintendoUK It's not worth trying out for me, the peer to peer online service isn't stable enough.

I really enjoy that instead of putting regular gyroids in ACNH Nintendo has gone the extremely not weird route of putting the BROKEN CORPSES of gyroids in the game and requiring you to Frankenstein them together to resurrect the dead

@Kryptidd1 @NasLeaf @mrsdrpepper I don't have an answer to that because I'm not Nintendo. I also don't recommend people pay for the service or the console if they think $4 a month is too expensive.

@TheArceist @PlayerEssence @HunterN64_ I've given Nintendo tens of thousands over the years. The only reason is so I can make content on this occasion - the service went from an absolutely must buy to non-essential and I think that's the feeling of many as well. it's simply way overpriced.

@Mashimaro77 @Allan_Jones_AL @NintendoUK Yeah same here, I still primarily get my console games physical if I can for that reason Which is why it makes me jusg endlessly furious yhat the only way for me to play these old nintendo games on modern hardware without an awful subscription service is piracy

@Leoneth333 @FearBlackRose @NintendoUK Its 50 for a year paid upfront for a low quality service that doesn’t fix any of the current problem switch online has. Its a price hike of 30 dollars. Comparatively it’s bad.

@af_Seb The issue is hardware. Nintendo limited the dock's USB ports to 2.0 through firmware despite the hardware supporting 3.0, which would more than double potential internet bandwidth speeds.

@SomeWeab I think the issue stems from that the deals aren’t that great. The games offered can be easily emulated and the animal crossing **** can be bought for cheaper. nintendo also hasn’t changed their online much which may make people upset, as they’re paying more for no changes

(@jasonswyatt95) reported
@NintendoAmerica As much as love Nintendo, I literally cannot defend this. The Animal Crosding DLC should not be included if it isn’t wanted. Don’t lie to us, that DLC is included in the price. It’s obvious. I mostly want the N64 games. Don’t really wanna pay for Sega. Fix this please.

@ZiggyZackary Nintendo's decisions have been... really bad and questionable as of late. Very greedy, and very concerning. What makes it worse is that their online service isn't even GOOD, making games like Splatoon suffer from client-based servers.

@trippyelf oh dang, still same basic premise. this issue happens in basically all modern controllers it just seems most prevalent in Nintendo’s. i think a basic cleaning guide might help tho. in the past i’ve given up and just bought a new one. super ******
