@Peek-a-boo I wouldn't exactly call that a good thing. All this means is that the Nintendo Network servers will be taken down more often on Switch due to hackers trying to steal card info.
@Grumblevolcano It's a good thing that your credit/debit cards are stored locally onto your system then, and not in a database of sorts over their network.
The only way someone could steal your information is if somebody nicked your Switch (ho ho!) and the password is somehow figured out. Even then, if they attempt to enter the password and get it wrong three times, the credit/debit card number is automatically deleted from said device.
I'm just pleased to see that Nintendo has decided to join us into the 21st century for a change.
@Peek-a-boo There may be things they are behind on but that's discrediting that they are ahead on mobile tech partnered with Nvidia, the latest wifi connections, Vulkan APIs, and even something as basic as charging.

@Peek-a-boo I don't like the situation for any of the 3 to be honest. Thankfully prepaid eshop/Xbox/PSN cards exist so you can just buy them at retailers, redeem them and that's it.
@Grumblevolcano Fair enough. I too choose to buy monetisation vouchers to redeem instead.
I was just originally pointing out that you won't be 'hacked' because your details are stored locally, not over the internet like both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network does. If anything, Nintendo has made a good decision to store your debit/credit card information onto your own Switch!
Fortunately things have improved since March at least, from what I can see. There was a time where I couldn't connect whatsoever or it would keep cutting off. Now I'm at least able to still download updates.
It seems the new Assassin's Creed is not coming to Switch, details about the game have been leaked.
Wait, I thought the entire point of porting Steep to the Switch was to make sure the engine is running on the Switch for the next Assassin's Creed game...

My guess is that's gonna be an e3 reveal. They'll hold off on saying anything for Switch and let Nintendo use it to bolster their announcements.
You know how Nintendo rolls, and Ubisoft has been talking big about supporting Switch, so I wouldn't write anything in stone until e3. I mean, it's possible it doesn't come (I think it will though), but if it doesn't they'll have other games. May be trying to selectively choose ones that have a better record of selling. Guess it depends how that poll turned out they did with Switch owners. If no one said they wanted AssCreed I could see it skipping (also could see them not having time since this ones been in development 3 years, right? They were doing 3 year cycles like CoD? Or 2 year rotations with internal teams?)
Either way, I wouldn't think much of anything just yet
