Aaand now I'm definitely not going to get one until homebrew kicks off. Wonder what their online security is like this time around.

Idk, maybe with more money they can FINALLY HAVE AN ANTI CHEAT ON MARIO KART DELUXE

they can flip the switch up their ass

Oh my lord. Did you all not see what was hidden in THERE? Nes and snes newly added online play!!!!

Oh boy can't wait to play Super Mario 3 with a retard over the internet

The true way it was meant to be played. Not with any local friend or anything pffft

On the flip side, paid online gaming may mean that servers are being kept longer online.

Bad move, Nintendo. Hopefully they abandon that idea. I mean it will be used mostly by kids that do not have the money to pay that shit...

So, like, we're just going to ignore the xbox and playstation and kids that use that right? Kids that play CoD online, kids that play on xbox.

 

[spotanjo3]

No but I don't care because I am not into online anyway. I always played on PS3 and Ps4 without online. So, I am fine without it too.

Dafuq did you just say? xD

Kids play on Xbox and Playstation, and they still pay for it. If the switch will have any worthwhile multiplayer games, kids will pay for it.

I'm gonna buy the Switch,but I think Homebrew Hacker's will find a solution until Fall anyways.(Why the hell do 12% like the idea)

Btw guys and idiots
Steam also has to pay for their servers, and they don't want money from you for doing something that was originally free. Fucking Microsoft had to implement that shit, now every company wants to copy..
What's next? Steam Plus?

No, because PC is a successful platform that doesn't need to rely on stupid paid online and exclusives. The PC is a free platform. Steam is the BEST platform to buy pc games at.

maybe now they have a reasonable chance to build a less laggy, international network of servers. there's a reason sony and microsoft are outdoing nintendo in the online department. and its mostly money.

Hopefully Ninty can be convinced to just give the damn (S)NES game for free since Sony/Microshaft give about 20 euro worth of games monthly for life. Maybe enough voices putting that point out there will make them change their mind on that.

Also, we don't know how much online play will be. If it's a small cost, then maybe the free for a month thing would make sense.

I think it's gonna be 50 bux for a year,just the same price for The PS4 and Xbox(I hate it that online will cost after fall)

Put the prices at a good level and it'll be great for me as I bet there will be discounts. $60 is so much...

if it's 60$ for a year, it's fine for me

Nah I mean the price of one game. (maybe it's cause I'm used to PC)

Uh, i hate to burst this little bubble, but when i watched the event i heard it as "free online, paid additional features via smartphone app" but i'll have to rewatch to be sure.

I understand your concern with this; had this issue a lot.

That being said the console is region free (as far as i heard) so most probably that will translate to the fact that Nintendo's policies regarding payments have also become "region free"

As for the topic on hand Nintendo's online game profile is growing (sport games what have you) and Splatoon is becoming a serious thing for them. I honestly never saw the need to go online with my WiiU but then again that's just me. I'm sure the enthusiasts wouldn't mind a subscription as long as that means they get a better service.

That's not really how payments work at all.

no they said it will be free until fall 2017, then it will be a paid service

I know, but from the way they phrased it it sounded like the smartphone service was free until fall, then paid, while online MP is different entirely. I'll go rewatch it, give me a sec.
