Re: Soapbox: We Like To Grumble, But Nintendo Switch Online Is Actually A Very Generous Offer

SmearyToast

Wow what clickbait are you on?

Fellas I have had the wii u, the wii etc. And this is not even attempting to offer anything outside of what has already been offered!

Let's look at a breakdown

  • no voice chat (oh but fortnight has it hmm)
  • NES games online - then Wtf when I boot it up am I not playing online! It says friends only. That's not online that's me trying to find someone's friend code "online" so I can play online. The switch is new, who knew you still had to use friend codes!? Cause ya know every other gaming company and their own games allow you to play with people at random!
  • Cloud Saves - except Nintendo neglected to mention their not opting in on some games. Wow that's like me selling something and expecting all my other 3rd parties to opt in but I myself am not.
  • No lobbies, no way to message people online. What is this? Do they not get we want to have the experiences without being shoved down their "green" money pipes. (Yea go ahead us that I'll give it away this time)
  • There's an enormous sore spot, that ya know when they launched they admitted online was half baked. They said wanted to offer something "worth" paying for. And even the president months back said "in its current state it's not worth it but we're going to release it anyway" at an investors meeting. wow. Their own words. We were waiting because thought get some of features ya know like steam has, Xbox live, or Sony. It took 18 months to add a hand that claps? I mean why not allow co-op in these games with people "online"
  • no dedicated servers shows their not dedicated. Using our connection to fund this campaign. Are they afraid to spend thier money on setting up dedicated servers?
  • Screen overlay at the bottom? Really? Emulators designed by a few team of guys and Nintendo the ones who actually own the ip can't do better? What have they been doing?
  • This is unacceptable in 2018, anyone who says this is worth it. Is probably either got their head so far up Nintendo's ass or they are in bed with them. Either way it's a disgust and a total slap in the face to something that has been requested since the Wii!

This is Nintendo: "don't worry were not making the same mistakes again"
Me/ENTIRE Gaming Community: "no you're making, you're making entirely new ones"

I almost wanna say screw Nintendo. Greed. Pure greed. Just like with the Wii, apparently they still refuse to pay attention to what's going on and bury their heads in the sand.

I invite everyone to call in and ask "why" it doesn't do these things like play with random people online. Why still need friend codes. Why Nintendo doesn't allow cloud saves on its own products or why the hell you need a smartphone. "Oh mom, I know the guy at the gamestore said I just needed this, but I need a smartphone to chat and that wasn't included and yea he didn't say anything about that." She grabs the box: Yea doesn't say it's required are you sure?

Yea that'll go over well...around Christmas time. What are they have a cell phone company that is investing and they feel the need to help him out. It makes no sense. Especially when fortnight allows it. It's not even a hardware limitation. Another game developer who isn't Nintendo is doing it better. Wow.

Enough! It's not okay. And this is article is like saying it okay to let someone who is Nintendo come in and give you shite for a service.

It's beyond comprehension. Ask yourself why an article like this is saying this. Why do they care is people are upset or unhappy with a service clear throat ahem they are "paying" for! Think it over. Frustrating...so frustrating you are Nintendo - anyone who can put on a pair of pants can understand this is NOT worth it. My question to Nintendo is who is putting on their pants for them?

@ScorpionMG Just cause you say an argument is invalid doesn't make you right. You're stating its an "argument" (exactly what I am talking about someone like yourself is satisfied) Well majority of those who own the WIIU are not. So again its not an argument its a fact. (now theres a difference) There are many articles to support that. If you can't see it then I'm afraid we disagree.
Please, let's keep it civil — TBD

Re: Soapbox: When It Comes To Software Support, The Grass Isn't Always Greener

I agree with a lot that is said, but there is one third party title that I think you fail to mention. GTAV - Arguably one of the biggest games to come out this year. Nintendo has said "good chance coming to WIIU" but I have heard nothing. I don't want to purchase a 360 again just to play one game. Just bring us GTAV at the very least for third party support. If other third party's see Rockstar putting their hottest selling franchise on WIIU, then I think others will likely follow I think some would buy a WIIU just to experience it on the gamepad with off TV play!
