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.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
