@CaptainNwa1ps @lucio_soliz @TheNCSmaster if there's a superior option out there that lets you play the game in a higher resolution with support for all controller that aren't nintendo controllers FOR FREE, i'm going to take the superior option. it's not an issue about money, it's just common sense

@VVizardX @Kotaku Stealing is wrong no matter what unless you are poor and can't afford food and water videogames is not a necessity we're lucky videogames exist at thanks to Nintendo saving the videogame industry during the videogame crash if it wasn't for nintendo we wouldn't have videogames.

@Lewchube I hope I’m not being a walrus from that meme, but I am curious what you mean by properly perseve. I assume it’s the issue that downloaded games never carry over. Since Nintendo does perseve them pretty well, even if they don’t resell them

@andyM_anim Mans off sick so he can come on Twitter and troll a bro!....ah I'm ashamed I have buckled on my Nintendo fanboyness! You know the problem is because I cant parade through the office with a stack of Nintendo boxes from goods in anymore! Also feel better dude :)

@firepunch012 @HeartOfSteam @LonelyGoomba Where’d you hear the graphics were an issue? The Lost Levels weren’t ported over to NA simply because Nintendo USA thought the obscene difficulty would alienate Westerns and damage the franchise (I think they were right)

@gus_888 @ModernVintageG If Nintendo doesn't want this problem then it shouldn't use off the shelf, well documented hardware that's relatively easy to emulate & run on current PC hardware...in other words Nintendo, stop being such cheap bastards with console innards.

@Garryswood U should not post it “Samus”, i have seen many artists having big problems with nintendo for it, maybe Sarah would be safer?

@jultar1000 @jetthejudge Just like how Crash 4 sold incredibly well and so did Tony Hawk Remaster, yet they didn't result in a new game? Why is that? Cause sales aren't the main determining factor in making more games. This game is getting crazy buzz and great reviews that's plenty enough for Nintendo

@EtymonL @Anggul_D @NintendoUK I know what emulation is, and it isn’t technically the legal way to play those game (even if I’ve done it too💀). My point is that the service is worth it for people who don’t own a pc when it comes to the classic games apps

@DRKLCNS @NoHumanzA @TomStheVoice why? there are a bunch of sonic fan games and sega doesn’t shut them down and in fact hired some of those people to make the best sonic game in years so why is it an issue ? it’s only an issue cause again nintendo is not consumer friendly and greedy

@retracjnarat @PopplioPup @NintendoUK Ehh £30 a year still isn't too bad, plus I can't imagine them upping it again next time they wanna add another system like Game Boy or GBA. I could however see them having a third tier if they were ever going to put Gamecube games on the service.

@FrontlineGamer @BlackBurai Lol this is not about you. I bought demon souls for 70$ and don’t regret it. I have no problem with Metroid either. It baffles me one chooses 70$ no problem but then criticizes Nintendo game price lol

@NormallyNormal7 @ccliffy90 @NintendoUK Because it isnt much of an increase to the service.

@AEGRO_84 Pricing is the main problem of Nintendo games , you can see alot of games that not worth its price & you get no discount in the meantime

@LangnerdMetale @KrimsonKB @UsagiCola I am not even offended, but you using "sarcasm" on a debate is not viable, it is still ad hominem since you think I am so sad because you told me to stop crying. And I never implied you must buy everything Nintendo does, I could care less, my problem is that you try to justify +

@UsagiCola Emulation isn't bad, we just need to show Nintendo that this the is the kind of game people have wanted for so long. The problem with the Kotaku article is that it just brings emulation projects into the limelight so that Nintendo can swing the hammer down on them.

(@SecretWiIIow) reported
@Lerminate @datbx_ @NintendoAmerica Emulation exists be aude companies will often release inferior ports or just not resell the game at all. Ever. "just buy a used copy!" that sidesteps the issue, and doesn't get to the deep down portion of things. Emulation is not inherently piracy!

@DreamyDoric oh that's not even my problem it, I just think nintendo's failed to match the atmosphere of SM's opening every time they've done another take on that track. the low-fi brr samples coming out of the super nintendo were half the reason it was such a mood imo

@Speedkicks @daniibgood The switch is a cheap toy. When you purchase cheap toys, you are doing so with the implicit understanding that cheap toys break, and that you are paying a discount for that risk. Nintendo will fix joycons for free, and offers alternative controllers that don't break.

@harryamoros The thing is, I can't even blame Nintendo for this one this time. The problem is that the distributors in Latin America (we have Latamel in Mexico for example) love to inflate the prices. Luckily for Mexicans, Amazon brings them directly, so we just have to pay the customs fee

(@pasta_wheat) reported
@Romudeth Even so people are once again making piracy out to be a bigger problem then it really is. Sony is releasing their games DRM free on PC. They mention the ROI being real good and plan to bring more over. If Nintendo had done the same some of those downloads would be sales

I hope #MetroidDread causes such a big problem for #Nintendo that they finally release a launcher for #PC so players are not limited by an overpriced-underpowered-outdated-bug prone-handheld

@DPDgroup_news @NintendoUK Ty…I’ve called customer service and asked for it to be escalated as the driver did the exact opposite of what he was asked to do, so unless you’re gonna walk the two mile round trip to the shop for me, I’m not sure you can help, but thanks anyway 👍

@Oilslic63322452 @ShinobiPhoenix @Grosstastic Since I can't legally pay Nintendo for old copies of games they no longer sale, I don't see pirating them as an issue. That's Nintendo's decision to stop selling them.
