(@Panciraptor) reported
@TAHK0 I for one wouldn't complain if I was allowed to buy the games as opposed to Nintendo having them paywalled behind an online service.

@gamespite I had that same problem happen to me. The Nintendo entry in my Google Authenticator app was magically gone, but thankfully I wrote down the backup codes and was able to log back in (trying to remember where I kept these codes was the real nightmare)

@nintendolife Instead of not buying the expansion pass, how about everyone straight up not buy anymore online subscriptions period? Nintendo won't listen anyway. As long as people still pay the regular service because that is what's pushing them to do this in the first place.

You have to give Nintendo credit for making an online service so bad that if you made minimum wage and worked for 2 hours in the entire calendar year you could afford it and most people still think it's a rip off.

@BeastXI_SSB @HugS86 That doesn’t change what I said. People were right when they said it was hypocritical of him to criticize Vikki and SGK when he takes money from Amazon. His excuse was that the Nintendo issue was more close to home, but that doesn’t justify it.

(@snivy_495) reported
@NicholasW1997 First character in fighter pass 1 was Joker a character that was from a relatively new game, from a different publisher, and who didn't have a main game on Nintendo, so now DLC is going wild as more "rules" are broken

If you plan on getting Nintendo's online service, just do what I did and buy an admission to a family plan off eBay. That's how I got mine for $8 a year for the SNES and NES games.

@HefnerReed @subbyizzy @NintendoAmerica I went to Walmart today and picked up a white OLED no problem. Don't know why Walmart hasn't shipped them out.

MISTER BEHAVIOR - METROID DREAD GOTY
(@BehaviorReturns) reported
They all have different strategies. Sony and Microsoft treat online service differently than Nintendo. Nintendo treats first party software different than Sony. All three have different approaches to marketing. They are not equal.

@fexythefex1 @TheRileyLittle Nah dude back then it was hype because the ads were so based. Nothing was better than hearing crash saying suck it to Nintendo. Now it sucks cause of the internet and how toxic it is.

@KrysZenGraphics @chag_spc I'm interested, how do you think we could fix this problem without Nintendo just being a better company

(@MKUltraLabel) reported
@MellyManLegends Add to that the fact that Nintendo offers hands down the worst online service and is now essentially asking for the same annual fee that their competitors ask while offering a fraction of what they offer for the same money and it's a joke.

@Kuno_Desu @NintendoAmerica Actually it supply line problem mostly over all. I just won’t give resellers money so they can do this over and over again.

(@scarymask) reported
I’m just fascinated with how Nintendo ended up with a franchise they clearly have no interest in doing anything with themselves. It must have just been more trouble for them to not hold onto.

@gamespite I can’t access my Japanese account because my password doesn’t work, and I can’t reset it because I’m not getting the emails. I think something at Nintendo is broken.

@KoolerKipper I had the exact same issue when I was trying to slide my **** into your ***, I just had to ring up my local Nintendo rep and he talked me through the whole process and then I sunk that bad boy ***** deep: hook line and sinker, sinker? I barely know her.

nintendo, this is the 3rd time I’ll be renewing my membership for you. literally improve this service instead of locking a lot of your game features behind the online -_-

Richard & Blaziken
(@RichardBlaziken) reported
@MellyManLegends Have to disagree. Value is subjective of course, but the bump in price for the pretty poor service Nintendo is offering, just for N64 and Genesis games is not compelling enough. The reality is that emulating those games has been easy, charging more for those roms is greedy.

@NintendoAmerica a broken game was released on Nintendo Switch, it’s Diablo 2. Could you help @Diablo speeding up the patch validation? Or, even better, refund the players that cannot play it, I’d absolutely buy Metroid with the refund amount
