@nintendolife (Including original price of $20/yr) I’d say making the service cost $30 is pretty fair. Nintendo’s online still isn’t good enough to really make it worth more than that in my opinion

@Displayze @ZeWiseGuy_ Yes I know. But if there's a normalized free alternative why would anyone buy from the devs? Good will? And if Nintendo ceases to succeed on a commercial market why on earth would they continue making games? Again this really isn't an issue now but is it inconceivable to you?

@Anggul_D @NintendoUK The service is $4-$20 dollars a year, depending on how many people are on your plan. For comparison, ******* Discord Nitro is $50 a year for the cheap version. And a year of FEH Pass is $114. Nintendo Online gives you access to a *ton* of games through NES and SNES...

In my frustration to try and figure out why my new Switch was having issues I performed a factory reset forgetting that not every game supports cloud saves because Nintendo is a modern company. I had to check there, to see it with my own eyes. My pokemon save...

@SmashNate9955 @JhoJhokage @monsterhunter Witcher 3 has cross-play & cross save. Fortnite, DbD, Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Rocket League all offer cross play on Switch. There was a deeper issue here but Nintendo doesn't hate cross-play apparently.

@Claywh0re Nintendo can get away with offering a bad service because they sit on exclusives, meaning that without them the Switch itself would be a worthless machine because it has nothing tangible over it's competitors; it's success is predicated on monopolies.

@Displayze @ZeWiseGuy_ It's violating the principle of fair trade. You get to enjoy someone's work and you don't compensate them in any way. Normalizing the free alternative will of course result in them not getting as much pay As of now this isn't an issue for Nintendo really, but it easily could be

@Adz_FM @PatStaresAt There is absolutely a conversation to be had about Nintendo lagging behind "expected" software/hardware standards, but my point is that pirating the game for the purposes of playing it in 4k is not the same kind of Always Morally Correct people are talking about here.

@Ghenghis8 @ZeWiseGuy_ I think its mostly inconceivable, piracy is Clearly not an issue to most companies since nintendo really only did that rom takedown thing once and even when there are google drives with all their current games they dont take them down, if it were a problem they would take all of

Carpal-tunnel/hand or wrist problem gamers: So, using my Nintendo switch Joy-Cons has been causing a lot of carpal tunnel flare-ups for me lately, what are some controllers you recommend? Is the pro-controller any good at reducing flare-ups? I’d love some recommendations

@lead_creak I think its a fine service to go alongside of the relatively dogshit nintendo online tbh, if they massively increased the number of virtual consoles that exist along with made the online less **** and bumped up the price a bit it would be an ok buy

@Rusakov_fields @TheQuarterGuy i’d disagree with you if piracy actually was a huge problem, but historically it hasn’t hurt nintendo much at all. I have the financial means to get Dread right now, so I bought it. if people don’t have the financial means, they still deserve to experience a terrific game.

@Pichoch83 Well, it's not if you legally do it but sure. The point you're making is clear, but long term it's worth noting as with Nintendo's current track record it could be an issue eventually. Yet for the sake of what this is in reference to. Sure. Go get 'em.

@DerekBazzinga @NintendoAmerica Your experience is unique to you and a small amount of people. And it's one based on luck, might I add. Some people tried preordering the exact time it went live and experienced server issues. It's not representative of the majority's experience when attempting to order.

@HNSOfficial_ @OGG1993 Issue is gamers are calling out Nintendo for their long predatory business tactics on their customers-low investment yet overpriced products. Dont be blind. Metroid Dread has brought nothing new to ole Metroid like Prime or Returnal did yet they have nerve to charge AAA prices.

@JhoJhokage @monsterhunter Nintendo allow to transfer your progress, and cross save/play with Dauntless per example. If there is a problem is on Capcom side.

that image of the Nintendo switch broken in half is so ******* funny. I think I've seen it in at least 5 different viral contexts but it's just so good how every single time people think it's real and get genuinely upset over their understanding that a rando smashed his Switch
