[EXCLUSIVE] Is it true that the Nintendo Switch Online platform has failed?

According to me, possibly the platform of Nintendo Switch Online has failed.

And why should they ask?

By its very unoriginal name "Nintendo Switch Online", because Nintendo was left without ideas for the name of the platform, first they thought of calling it "Nintendo Network Premium", but as they did realize that there was previously Nintendo Network Premium in the past (many before it closed in 2015), they changed it to "Nintendo Switch Online", which confused many users and confused it with a streaming service that appeared very much on Google Stadia but for Nintendo, it was not a new gaming platform online but a streaming service created by Nintendo.

Also it fails because its price is very cheap (in some countries it is expensive), its cloud storage service requires to pay, the virtual console is something original compared to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold, but it is the only good thing of the service, since there are many bad things that nobody likes about the service.

I also notice bad marketing in the trailer, what can you notice about bad marketing in the trailer?

Are you sure that Nintendo Switch Online failed like the Game Boy Advance / Nintendo Gamecube e-Reader and the Nintendo DS / DSi PictoChat?

Edit: It should be noted that there are almost no Nintendo Switch Online users, due to their failure.

In addition, third-party companies plan to abandon Nintendo Switch Online for its complicated code of copying and pasting games, according to Electronic Arts, declaring that FIFA 20 would not include Nintendo Switch Online as last year's previous game, FIFA 19, and that his problem was due to the fact that the code is very complicated to copy and paste to the games, which means a great financial loss for Nintendo in the online game.

It will also be done by other third party companies (Activision, Namco, Capcom and Ubisoft, etc).

This will also happen with future games that have multiplayer online (Call of Duty, Dragon Quest, etc).

Which means that PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold will have a deep success after the failure of Nintendo Switch Online, will be supported by third-party companies and Nintendo Switch Online will not.

Something similar to the Wii U, it happened, but it was not the online game service, but the hardware, since PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were supported by the third companies and Wii U will not.

I got a survey from Nintendo a few days ago and it was about their online vouchers and the questions were about the lack of interest. Combined was their assessment that there not able to move their online voucher and their other online only products.

Maybe it is not an outright failure but Nintendo themselves are not seeing what they would like from their online subscription members.
 
So can you site any sources besides what you're saying is an exclusive and only from what is coming from you? Where did you read that 3rd parties were abandoning it? Microsoft is still on board, last I checked. And Blizzard is, since they have Diablo III on the console. And where can we read about the financial loss due to all of this?

Nintendo Network is better than Nintendo Switch Online by name and it is very attractive that that junk name that Nintendo put on its new online gaming platform!

Unoriginal name? Like Playstation Network and Xbox Live? :creep:

Third party games will not include switch online. Yet one of the most popular indie games, Rocket League has cross platform play requiring switch online sub. :blink:

I'm not sure where these comments came from, but I am currently subbed to nintendo online. While it is true that it is not a big improvement to competing systems, it is required to play some popular games online especially if you don't have friends to invite over. That kinda was the base reason to have it.

Cloud save is a must too considering there is no way to backup saves otherwise, I admit that is bad and may help encourage people to subscribe. I also been curious about special offers which I have noticed none of. Besides the NES games, I got a code for splatoon 2 which is a game I do not have. Discounts or free Nintendo switch games like playstation plus or xbox gold would be welcome addition. Honestly there is much to improve, especially the games that make use of online multiplayer.:rolleyes:
 
8BitWonder cough cough did you totally miss my first post where I already mentioned the 9.8 million subscribers lol.
 
Y'know on any other site, NancyDS would be dead from everyone counter-trolling him to Oblivion and back

Unless you really love Splatoon 2, Nintendo online is shit not worth bothering with. I wouldn't call it a failure because as other users have already mentioned, 9.8 million people have signed up to it. I'm not one of them.

Have you been smoking crack again Nancy? Its not a failure and unless you can cite your sources its only a matter of opinion and not of fact.

@grey72 "any other site" Oh please...even on here Nancy is killed off by counter-trolling
