Never played Smash or Splatoon online.
Diablo III was fine though. Tetris is as well (lol).
It's 20 bucks here for a year in Germany so honestly: It's a no brainer, no matter how bad it is. Had to pay 5 $ (or more) for a Virtual Console game on previous Nintendo consoles. Having those NES and SNES games alone is worth it.
Not for me actually (using RetroArch in emuNAND) but for those who don't use a CFW I'd say it's worth it.

The netcode might still suck though. Maybe that's why I don't even want to bother with Smash online.

The Switch Online is bad. The lag is worse than the Wii U. You can't blame Nintendo for the connection as it is exclusively P2P and the only factors are people's connection on one end or another.

Nintendo shouldn't make you pay for a P2P service which doesn't cost them anything to maintain...

Not only that, but their netcode is completely shit.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
