Gaming The Nintendo Online Paid Subscription might end up being worth it.

[Sonic Angel Knight]

We have to also consider that paid online will most likely mean improved online, so we have reason to complain if online modes are bad.

Also means nintendo can dedicate engineers to making sure online modes are better.

I call bullshit in the voice chat through a phone... Your competition have it implemented in their consoles, not through an external device... Also there is that vc rental thingy, why the fuck you have to rent them when your competition CLEARLY gives games for free that you can play as much as you want. I know ps plus free games cant be played if your plus is expired, but once you renew it you once again can play them. The vc bullshit is just temporary and when the month ends, you wont be able to play it anymore unless nintendo officialy release it to everyone on the eshop.

They are doing it pretty wrong imo

What about saves? No news?

The upcoming Nintendo Direct may have news about it though they'll mainly focus on ARMS and Splatoon 2. It's probably going to be mostly focused on Splatoon 2 and a couple mins on ARMS (it's just Wii Sports' Boxing evolved).

Hacks are not help? lmfao.

Anyway i didn't realize it was a PC vs Console thing here. I'm just saying PC online games have hackers, that's how it is.

Haha, dude. You never played PC multiplayer, did you? Hackers are rare occurrence in games, PS4 still includes hackers and you might not know it anyways.

"PS3 had free online play, but i'm still going to pay for online play in PS4 because it should be paid"
Sony did this, Microsoft does it. Did anyone complain? No
Nintendo does it and everyone instantly loses their shit, what the hell?

I know right, blame Microsoft that started this piece of shit.

Hopefully the paid service will stop cheating. That made me stay away from online games on Nintendo consoles.

Online games and the people playing them make me stay away from online games on all systems. Bring back GS/AR, far more valuable than online.

I don't see anything wrong with 20/year so long as the service doesn't suck. What I don't get, however, is that Sony and Microsoft have been doing it for years, but when Nintendo does it, it's somehow worse?

From what I read, its basically:
Nintendo is known to have shit servers
Most games for Nintendo consoles are offline.
The rent a vc thing is bs (I agree with this alot)
So on
basically its just more reasons for people to complain about stupid shit

Lol this is some unwritten rule! $20 is fine as long as they make it a reliable service and throw in a little extra here and there. This same rule applies to the pro controller, people pay $65-$75 for Xbox one and Ps4 controllers every day but when Nintendo has one it's too expensive and it has more tech and battery life.

Regarding the VC thing, you can actually buy the game once the rental period is up, this has been stated in various news outlets, it's not like you'll forever lose the rental game.
It's double standard bullshit.

We don't know the facts, people need to just calm down and wait for more details instead of hating something that isn't even out yet.

Coming up next: Windows 10 users complain after Nintendo requires a system update for online play.

That's the thing. You have to buy it in order to play it again when your competition gives free shit that you can always use if you are a plus/premium/vip/crap user.

Nintendo thinks too highly of themselves.

What's to play online with Nintendo consoles? Smash and Mario Kart? utter nonsense.

Gooduck with that Nintendo.

No offence but I would rather pay Nintendo £16.99p annually for there service. I used to pay Xbox360/ONE charges on £34.99p a year for Live Gold and barely used it and that's the truth, I honestly just stopped paying it in the end because it was just a waste of good money!. I had Nintendo's online facilities for free and always used it with MK, Smash, Splatoon, Tennis lots of games so I know who I would rather pay my money over too.

 

[Kikirini]

Honestly, I play Splatoon and Mario Kart online so often, I'm happy to pay for the online service. Yeah, some of the offerings aren't awesome (VC rentals for one), but as long as it's fairly inexpensive and I get my online play, I'm good.

 

[Deleted User]

It's -50pln off from 6 month PS Plus and -150 off 1 year PS Plus subscription here.
That's a very nice price for multiplayer [100pln, unline *cough* Xbox which reaches even 350pln]
So there's no reason to complain. $20 bucks isn't alot unless you're living on a street or you don't have a job.

It's not okay that Microsoft and Sony pull off the same thing, but least you can play the 'free' games longer than a month. Voice chat should have been included with the switch itself, as they are behind the vita in this aspect.

It will be worthwhile in my eyes if the online servers are actually decent and if you either keep the VC game you get monthly, or they give you notable discounts in the eshop
