@DynamoSuperX Bruh, Nintendo fans are spoiled thinking that the online service should be free because it was at one point. Guess what? Sony used to have free internet and now it's $60 a year. Nintendo is $20 and while it's not the greatest service, it is still a third of the price of others

@dish313 @dnakoka @NintendoAmerica And also, if the gyms end up being in the same Order as DP then this will be a huge regression because the gym order in platinum fixed a lot of the problems that the original DP gym order had.

@NintendoUK hi. I'm having a problem accessing my switch account. I am trying to reset my password but I can't remember the email address I used with the account. It comes up with mu***@ya**** which doesn't match any of my normal email addresses. Please help 🙏

@Vet_093 reason to pay this much for such a poorly done mess! I really hope this ends up being unsuccessful enough for Nintendo to fix it. Then again. Sony pulled this **** with the online as well as Microsoft, but they at least had given stuff to make it somewhat worth it

@enterzalman Man, I miss Miitomo, it’s probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to another Tomodachi Life game, Nintendo, FIX THAT. PUT TOMODACHI LIFE ON THE SWITCH ALREADY.

@trev0115 @Wario64 It's wild that Nintendo stuggle with this considering they invented the d-pad. Luckily I can open up my controller and fix it with tape (but I shouldn't have to)

My only complaint about Nintendo Switch Online’s N64 games is using the right stick as a replacement for c buttons. Countless item use errors in Ocarina of Time.

@af_Seb @herrmansen As MVG said in the previous video on this topic, yes these issues are not something that would upset most people. However, nitpicking is important, because Nintendo themselves are serious nitpickers. They didn't become what they are by producing 'good enough' games and hardware

@DoesItPlay1 @TQT1995 Switch version has this issue unfortunately, Doom 1+2 won't even boot without a linked Nintendo account

At $50 a year, Nintendo needs to start adding games to their service more frequently. There should be new games added every single month.

@MamaBirdTH @Brickgirl @NintendoAmerica I’m struggling with this as well! EX Royal Ancient Lab is there but no EX missions are appearing on the map. However there are still side quest missions from the original game I haven’t completed. Could that be my issue?

Mac, No Not November
(@MCAvenger214) reported
people since day 1 said how flawed it is, and Nintendo for some reason doesn't want to fix it. Actually, they made the problem worse by adding overpriced expension with poorly emulated games. Like seriously, this trailer for it has new record of dislike ratio.

@SwagKag3 @Untitled330 @NintendoAmerica While yes I do agree that a bit more platinum content should be in but thankfully the dex issue that d&p had are not here Hopefully the wanted to keep the platinum stuff a secret

@HylianHero83 @Vet_093 All the issues can be improved over time, but currently the expansion pack is not worth the price at all and Nintendo should be scrutinized for these issues until they add more substantial content to make it worth the price, or lower the price to match the quality of the service,

I'm not gonna say "you're part of the problem" if you genuinely wanted to buy EP+ I'd only say that if you were to blindly defend Nintendo's handling of it all though which in Twitter's case, alot of people do that. Even then I don't police how people spend their money. But-

@zac_raf @dnakoka @NintendoAmerica This remake is a huge regression from what we had previously. And for all we know the gym order will probably be the same exact one as DP which presented a lot of problem and will be a huge regression from the gym order in platinum.

@SwagKag3 @NintendoAmerica I have in the pass. My comment was mainly because of all the delays with things. Also I am currently dealing with a order issue with them. Lmao

@ModernVintageG People really do sleep on WiiVC,it's got issues most notably the random VC crashing for N64,but the emulator was amazing for the time it come out and was able to run NeoGeo perfectly fine with zero issues,which is why I'm disappointed with Nintendo right now they can to better.

@WalnutDying I’m sure if Nintendo see the problem maybe they could fix them for other N64 games coming out. + I need to get it mostly I can play banjo without getting a Xbox (console series im not a fan of)

@HardDriveMag shocking to see the clear disconnect between nintendo and the character of mario, mario is famous for his ruthlessness of people he deem lower than him (goombas). sad and scary to see

@Hychus232 @DynamoSuperX True enough. Frankly, I'm very adamant about voting with my wallet with Nintendo. Problem is Nintendo's following is so huge it doesn't matter.

The Nintendo online expansion is not perfect, but people are complaining WAY too much about it. $50 per YEAR for such a collection of N64, Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, with more being added, is not a bad deal. The only problem is some of the emulation.
