I'd recommend not downloading it until the eshop maintenance is finished. Otherwise you can't play online because no subscription and you can't get the subscription either because the eshop is down.
Okay, system update and controller update installed. I already did the matches in Splatoon 2 I wanted to do. Now I just have to wait for the eshop maintenance to finish so I can play me some NES games.
Looks like 6.0 added account sharing similar to PS4. You have a primary console but can log in on another Switch and play your games there. So unless I'm reading it incorrectly you can share your digital games with a friend, which is great!
I literally just got told I needed therapy and would "never be happy" by this guy DarkUnderdog, because I politely took issue with not all games having back ups and 99% of games not having voice chat and there being no messaging.
"It's only $1.70/mo" and "well just don't buy it then" and all that illogical nonsense. Like DUDE, I have no other choice unless I want to risk my saves and completely give up playing online all together, which would kind of defeats the purpose of even having the console since playing Monster Hunter online with my brother is a daily thing.
How do you not comprehend that I can reluctantly and be grudgingly buy something because I feel coerced into needing it, while simultaneously voicing dissatisfaction as a consumer?
Ugh. And this is coming from a guy I've been in a group chat with for years. I can't believe how blindly defensive people get to the point you can't even politely voice dissatisfaction without somebody taking it incredibly personally. Like back off dude. The money is not the point of contention. $1.70 a month is not the point of contention. It's the incomplete feature set that is the point of contention. Cloud saves but not all games. Voice chat but only for a select few games, and no messaging. Free rental games but only NES, and only if you check in online once a week. Apps like Hulu but nothing else. Same old story.
And I'm sorry, I'm just venting here, because I'm really not that upset about the online service. I'm actually relieved to have cloud save back ups for the vast majority of my games, and while the lack of voice chat is an aggravation, the fact is I just call my brother on speaker phone so it's not really an issue. It's more the principle of the matter.
But it just kills me that somebody would go to such extremes to attack me and defend the service, like I'm the equivalent as somebody rabidly attacking the company for no reason. I hardly ever voice complaints, and when I do it's for good reason. Dude is a complete fanatic.
Anyways, I really like the set up of the NES app. I wish it was compatible with the pro controller but it's fine. I'm actually thinking about ordering those NES controllers. I didn't want them before but I find myself kind of wanting to use one now.
You can now also deactivate the primary console through their website! There's a catch though (because of course there is): you can only deactivate through the website once a year.
Yeah I like the app. Doesn't appear to be any immediately noticeable input lag, and no weird dark filter (I'm looking at you, Wii U VC). Oh, and you know the first game I jumped into was Super Mario Bros!
Edit: the NES games do have video capture support.

That was the first game I jumped into too. And I suddenly remembered just how floaty the controls were. I'm way out of practice. I use to at least be able to reach world 1-4, even if I don't think I ever beat it.
Just beat Mario 1 for like the billionth time. And man, I remember struggling so hard when playing it on the Game Boy Color. Being able to breeze through it nowadays is so surreal to me now.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
Had to do it manually because the first time it saves for each game is when you exit the game. So as you play each game it will back up this saves when you close it out. But if you have 100 games on there and you want them all backed up right away you have to go do it manually.
Just a little tip for anyone else in that situation though, you don't have to wait for it to completely back up before hitting the B button to back out and go to the next game on the list. I queued up about 50-100 backups by the time I made it to the end of the list, because I was way faster at starting the back up then the time it took to actually do the back up for each game.
It's fastest to go into settings into data management and do it that way because you get one long list of all your games.

Just found a way to use the cloud saves to cheat the leader boards on Zens Pinball FX3. It's the same method Nintendo used to describe how to cheat on Splatoon 2. I sure hope Zen does something about this and quick!

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
And let's move all the other complaining and defending of the NSO in the specified NSO sticky. It's getting boring for people who don't care and want to actually discuss gaming.
