I believe that the switch has an option to download game updates from other local consoles. Does that work with this?

Good question I want to know that too!!!
Sharing game updates are different from Download Play; it only refers to sharing game updates not the game itself.

Well either this will be fixed really quickly by Nintendo, or it will blow up out of proportions.

If this only allowed free online play it's one thing, but if banned/superbanned consoles can access this as well it's huge.

Although i can imagine that most players will be hackers/cheaters. I guess that we'll see but this is very interesting.

EDIT: oh wait, this is only lan. I read like it would be possible to play online with others around the world. xD

I tried this yesterday in MK8 and it worked great. Just make sure you all are using the same patch of the games to be able to play together (latest is a good idea).

How it work please ?
It's on the GitHub page, but basically run the exe on a PC on the same network as your switch and put in the relay ip, then change the IP to manual on the switch wifi as stated on GitHub, then play.

This program makes your switch think it's on the same wifi as everyone else connected to the same relay server.

That's exactly what this does. It allows you to simulate a LAN connection over the internet. And there's really nothing Nintendo can do about it unless they released updates that took the "LAN Play" feature out of games, which will most likely never happen.

Tested with MK8 works! but got communication error at the end of the race. This is great news!

ALSO:


If you are not banned be very very careful as the error for not being able to communicate with the other consoles will be logged and sent to Nintendo... they can figure it out if you are playing with a backup :v.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)
