Nintendo is apparently updating their online multiplayer system

[Deleted User]

Dataminer OatmealDome posted that Nintendo is replacing it´s online multiplayer system, NEX (most likely used in all of their online games since the 3DS/Wii U), with a new system called NPLN.
The Monster Hunter Rise demo was the first game to use this system.
NEX is at least 18 years old by now.
Splatoon 2 has an unused function to check to see if it’s running on Windows 98.

Developer thomasnet_mc says that no other games implement that library yet.

Lol also a check to see if it's running on Windows 95 apparently. About time they made some improvement to the online, any improvement.

Is no one going to mention how there also appears to be a check for whether it's running on a PS2 as well?

Could mean Playstation 2, but I think it's more likely it's a check for PS/2 serial peripherals, as in the port used by old mice.

Maybe the checks are anti-emulator?
Anyway, maybe their online will work better now?

I do believe you right about that, but it's still funny thinking how old of stuff they have checks for, since I can't remember the last time I've seen a PS/2 connection.

I don't think any computer you will buy at Best Buy will even have one. Only motherboards I see with PS/2 connections are gaming ones since some gamers like ps2 keyboards

all i ask is to have smash lobby's to let you pick whatever charcter you want when in waiting rooms and lobbie's after a match so dumb they can't use something like that from smash 4 to smash 5.
