My brother told me our Wii U, which he took when he moved out, has died (gives error message after turning it on, then a black screen). So...Nintendo better hurry up and port Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X bc I literally can’t play them anymore! 😨

@thedankeone @Fercho_OwO @NintendoAmerica It’s not the internet, it’s the net code. There was a youtuber who reviewed this and he said that he has perfect internet and lag can be a huge problem.

@markl1109 @NintendoAmerica It's more about this being an incredibly overpriced 'addition' to an already subpar service. Most folks are saying that it makes emulation a much more favorable alternative.

@TachiStar @ConvergencePact The issue with that is the fact that per Nintendo's website, these are "faithful remakes" or Diamond and Pearl. That's their goal with these games,. It's not faithful to the Diamond and Pearl if it also remakes Platinum

@lawnear01 @NintendoAmerica We also have many legal options... between Wii U virtual console or original games...no one is forcing anyone to play them on this new service... if you don't agree on a price that doesn't mean you have a right to it... obviously we all hope Nintendo is listening and will fix it

@TheMamboShow @PretzelJones @ui_tony I mean, they haven't released any recent or current-gen games. Assuming they would when they've never done so in the past is like predicting Nintendo will fix their online services next month just because they added Expansion Pass.

@MatPiscatella My issue is that if they start releasing day and date on PS5 and PC, then why would I ever buy a PS5? I'd rather just invest in the PC where I can play all games, and keep a switch as my Console for nintendo game. Release games that are several years old though, no problem for me

@RetroBoyJon I loved it when I had an N64. No hate here. I do hate the fact that Nintendo haven't offered up button mapping to its Switch Online games though. I think hand cramp is more than likely going to put me off than the shoddy network issues and, no, I'm not buying the controllers.

@Yoshilpl @NintendoAmerica I have no problem paying that due nintendo actually puts work into each game to make them able to play on the next gen, we know from previous generation that 3rd party companies didn't want to port their games to Nintendo because I required them to code it differently

Physical game owners: what happens when Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony takes away your access to a digital game????? someone robbing you, setting your house on fire, or your physical media not working anymore due to deterioration is way more likely.

When I go to revoke access to the account that was crested with the @NintendoAmerica login and go to link my google account to the app, the app just keeps automatically linking the Nintendo account instead of the google account, without any input or choice from me

I highly urge folks to not buy the Switch Online Expansion Pack. Nintendo has given us much better services in the past to play N64 games. Input lag, bad fog rendering, and a host of other issues plagues the service. Wii VC didn't have these problems...

@ZabelinEX @Ryan20615 @NintendoAmerica Piracy is justifiable when Nintendo is selling such a very ****** service with 50 dollars with games that don’t even run well online. We could also get higher quality emulation on the virtual console on the Wii lmao.

@NintendoAmerica Um what happened with the expansion pack? Your having your fans pay a premium for a horrible experience. Horrible input lag, some games have missing audio. Are you still stuck in the 2000's? Hire someone that knows emulation, clearly you have no clue.

Hey @ModernVintageG Is it possible for Nintendo to update the app to fix things like input lag ?

@NintendoAmerica When will you release the rest games mentioned in ND? I mean there is no difficulty for those "new" games to be delayed, for you have already portaled them several times. It only annoys those who purchased this service for nostalgia and have to wait for them once more.

(@DocFitz1982) reported
@markl1109 @NintendoAmerica I think the general argument from people has been they wouldnt mind paying for the service if @NintendoAmerica provided a quality product. Currently the experience playing N64 games on PC emulators is better than on the switch due to significantly less input lag.

@SwitchStockNews @NintendoAmerica needs to fix their crappy website too...I got one and then the checkout site kept glitching and timing out.
