the reason why sony and microsoft have great online service is because its being paid for. for one, it allows for a budget that varies dynamically by number of people accessing it, it also keeps out people who're too cheap to pay for online play.
I like how it's ok for Sony/Microsoft to do it, but when Nintendo does it, it's bullshit.
Honestly, I'd pay for it. Maybe with that extra money they can afford better servers.
Nintendo is only following the market. If the other 2 have paid online content and people are actually paying for it, why not Nintendo?
Online gaming still free on PC.
Honestly, Nintendo is trying to follow the market. Fans didn't want region-locking, so they remove region locking. Fans complained about their shitty online content, so they are doing what everyone else does.Because they've done it free before, and when people see that it's no longer free, they go crazy and ignore the fact that other companies have done it for years. People need to cool their jets.
Why the hell can't people wait and see what it's like beforehand?

Wouldn't have helped if they just used the 5GHZ AC wifi sooner instead of sticking with 2.4GHZ? Or least a actual ethernet port in the system?

You can't play online without it. That should be enough.They didn't eloborate on what you get for the paid service tho. PS+ you get free games every month, same with Xbox. What did Nintendo say about that? Nothing.
NES and SNES games only though. Or did I miss the point in question?Interesting, premium game download service http://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/

After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online.
This service is only for Nintendo Switch. It does not affect Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems or online play.
No idea, there;s still a lot we don't know.
