@LostUser64 @NintendoAmerica I’m telling you this in kindness but either you’re not very smart or you’re a bad person. The point of tweeting honest disappointment is for Nintendo to see fan feedback. The more people who say they don’t like the service, the more they listen. You’re quarrelsome for no reason.

@Kazoorion @NintendoAmerica Square Enix would rather die on a Hill that put Chrono Trigger on a cheap service. Itoi wanta nothing more to do with the Earthbound franchise. Let that series sleep, we got better JRPGs and Indies to take jts place.

@evoslayer @NintendoAmerica It is a REMASTER, it exist to make the game prettier and improve some problems the original had, it is still overpriced

@walruslaw That’s Nintendo Power for you: they would post huge guides every issue to random games coming out that month, no matter how good they were It’s how they tricked me into buying Darkman for NES when I was nine lol

@dadx81 That’s funny, because now that I have all 3 systems I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Nintendo only, unless money is an issue. Now if I had to pick only one it would be Nintendo, but like having access to everything, and what they all bring to the table.

@DoesItPlay1 I don't want to seem like I'm damage controlling because I'm a fan of xbox but aren't we taking this a bit too far? Xbox is by far in the leas when it comes for games preservation but I don't see the anyone blowing the horn for ps and Nintendo to fix their archaic ways.

@TakesNuclear @TaurusOxford @NintendoAmerica Want more casual and relaxing games, try the mobile games or Pokemon Snap or even Pokepark. Want merch? They've got it. Want a card game? They have that and going strong despite all the reselling issues. Like Anime, they have an anime too.

@ethan_bonham @yggdrasilsaltar @NintendoAmerica The worst part about this service where they rerelease classic games is that the games they’re rereleasing are too old, what do you expect?

@So_Ethereal @NintendoAmerica I really wouldn't mind, maybe in some silent form. But hearing her theme while the sword talks to a broken zelda who can barely lift it was so awesome and emotional.

@NintendoAmerica Don't forget Super Mario RPG, which was no issue on their other "legacy" collections so why the hell would it suddenly be one here?

@RapidPilot2 @Kazoorion @NintendoAmerica See I would call it entitled, but this is a service we are paying for. He should be allowed to have issues with it. Not having things that were on older hardware is a valid complaint. I wouldnt go as far to say the company is incompetent but I definitely see where hes coming from

@LiebeSchiffer @Jordium_Z @NintendoUK On a technical level yes it is superior. However the world looks worse in 3d, it was designed for sprites. A better comparison would be Links Awakening. It has its own problems, but they could have learned from it. And just because something is 3d doesn't limit a color palette.

@LiebeSchiffer @Jordium_Z @NintendoUK The fact it’s chibi isn’t the problem. It’s the result of bad planing and development. They have Pokémon engines where they have all the basic down, where all they need to do was add assets instead of worrying about if the characters won’t go through a wall.

@princesshylia25 @NintendoAmerica It doesn’t even look that bad. it’s supposed to be a budget title to hold us over for Legends anyway. The main issue I have is that it’s priced at 60. Come on, that’s a little ridiculous

@okconsoomer @damo2306 @NintendoAmerica Sure, but not like they'd go through the effort of translating old text dense games and put them on this service for "free". They couldn't even be bothered to translate the minor text in Super Mario Picross. >_>

@theghostwinger7 @Kazoorion @NintendoAmerica It is infact overpriced--there is no reason it should be $60. This is one of Nintendo's consistent problems and it has nothing to do with cartidges over cds as they did this even when they used CDs before the Switch.

@Nintendo #miitopiaswitch starts lagging at the desert level after the city - for some reason the game starts to move very fast and then slowdown back to normal randomly and then speeds up again (characters and surounding move very fast) I hope this bug will be fixed soon

@NintendoAmerica The following would be nice to flesh the online service classic console offerings to what it should be at this point. - At least the SNES that were on the SNES mini that are still absent here - GBC/GBA - N64

@NintendoAmerica the Wii got to that number of overall Virtual Console games within a year's time, I wouldn't even dislike this service if the games didn't come out at a snail's pace

Why do Nintendo fans say “**** this company so greedy grr nooo! Go away you sucks!” Then ******* flip out and completely forget about all of Nintendo’s problems when they announce a game that’s not gonna be out for another 4 years or one out of 200 smash characters

@evoslayer @NintendoAmerica June has Game Builder Garage and Mario Golf Super Rush. August has No More Heroes 3 and if we go to 2022 we get Splatoon 3, BotW2 and Legends Arceus, just to remind you that 2020 existed and other companies had the same issue.

@NintendoAmerica Yeah yeah... Doesn't change the fact that this service could have been so much better
