Nintendo Has Updated Its Switch Online App To Version 1.14.0, See What's Included

In other words, Nintendo updates a ghost

I forgot this even existed once I stopped playing Splatoon2.

I guess it being more stable is technically one positive thing I can say about this app...

I haven’t used this app at all.

Oh wow i didn't even know Nintendo still supported this.

I once downloaded this app to play Mario Kart, it wasn't too bad but nobody used it and it isn't really supported.

I used it for splatoon to see what other players were using, see stage schedule for turf war & salmon run.

Never used it, but I would like to see adoption figures for this software.

This is still a thing? Then again so is MySpace I guess...

Why can't Nintendo make an app like Sony PS app? It will be easier to browse and buy games on my iPhone/iPad than the Switch.

The Playstation app even downloads and installs the game after you purchased it on the phone, so when you come back home - it's all ready to play.

@NoTinderLife
You mean like Nimtendo.com? 😝

@NoTinderLife Honestly, that'd make this app a lot better, throw in some My Nintendo functions and it'd be great for all things Nintendo.

@Scrubicius which is a mess in EU, and in the end I am still forced to buy stuff on the Switch itself.

(and before that I always check PSPrices because the eshop is so bloody slow)

Not that the current PS website is any better, the old one was great but the new one is pure trash.

Why even bother?

I would use the app daily through the first half of 2019 for Mario Kart. met some great people who I still Kart with till this day. nowadays we mainly use Discord but I’ll still use this app every now and then when there’s someone to chat with because like mentioned, no one seems to chat anymore

My kid has behavioral issues tied to some medical related stuff, as such can get very hyper fixated on things and controlling. Due to that, as much as I'd rather not touch an app like this at all, it is under regular use. Allowed only X time a day, I had to set the clock, when punished the clock can be reduced or just disable the system remotely. Works like a charm to regulate and dish out punishment.

They need to fix their online voice chat! The app is a nice idea but definitely isn't being used to it's full potential. We're need to brake to actually talk with everyone at anytime just like Xbox and playstation! Maybe one day

@shonenjump86 not worth it they don't use it they way they advised it.

It's all about stability

@crashcontrol not quite. It's still quite well used by animal crossing players. They put a little more functionality to it since 2.0 which has been quite nice. Not game altering, but a nice convenience

@Rayquaza2510
Yeah true… still surprised how people purchase games.

But it would be cool if their was a dedicated App for game deals. I wonder if this would be Possible to create a App that would pull the information from the eShop.

Does people even use this? I got it when it first came out and have not use it since

@Shiro28,

Use it to message and speak to friends on Animal crossing new horizons, always works fine.

So the app is only for one game?
