So, I know some features can be accessed right now like the eshop, friend list, news, etc... But I don't know if its my system, or what. I can't play online in certain games,

And I looked on the Switches payed online info, but still, extremely confused at the moment how the "free trial" is setup at the moment.

I've played online in Fast RMX, Bomberman and Splatoon 2 Global Testfire. Works like you'd expect.

So far I have only had this issue with Bomberman R, but I don't know if that's becuase no one plays the game, or if it's becuase of a hardware issue.

afaik, once you make your first account it will tell you that the free trail has started. You will also need to be on 2.0+, as 1.0 doesn't have online added

I do remember having something like that in the news or eshop section (I can't remember.) And it took me to this page
http://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/ or something similar like this

I updated to 2.0.1 Firmware so at the moment I am on the latest, all online services like connecting to online menus, eshop, using news, etc... Are fine. But i'm unsure about online games with strangers working or not.

Has anyone connected in game but have no results for for playing online, like in a lobby with people? Once again I have only tried Bomberman so.

IF you can get to the eshop with your account, you should be able to get online and play bomberman with that same account.

    @Veho, where's the poll at?
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    they're giving the internet an open text box?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never played or own any of they devices, but I like small style, but with a somewhat grip

    oh man, that always goes great!

    im sure half the responses won't be literal racial slurs or "drop table" jokes

    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much dollar do you think it is?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    you know which game i wish they would rerelease

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A shield portable 2 would be nice aye Nvidia
