Nintendo Switch Online will have "attractive" content

Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi noted that Nintendo’s online subscription for Nintendo Switch, which is set to launch this September, will have “attractive” content.

I still can’t get behind the name of this service. It just sends the message instead of it being Nintendo’s all encompassing online service like Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in future generations, and that it’ll be completely restructured in their next system.

After seeing how underwhelming Nintendo’s online efforts have been for the the entire 2-st century, it’s pretty doubtful Nintendo can instantly provide a service on par with its competition. Especially when you consider the boneheaded decisions they’ve done already with Switch’s current online.

Sony and Microsoft have always pushed online gaming forward frequently while Nintendo has always settled with below the bare minimum.

History has already shown what kind of service this will be from Nintendo

If this company is seriously stupid enough to tie the entire infrastructure to a single platform....

They just don't deserve the money to support such a network. I seriously hope that's not the case because these guys have an extremely difficult time and doing some of the most simplest tasks.

My biggest problem about this is that the thing they're trying to do has numerous examples by several extremely successful companies yet they're still scratching their heads at how to implement something that's already been done...

This gets to the point where it starts to question the competency of the company.

It would be like a cell phone company trying to come out in 2018 and they're not really sure how to apply text messaging or they have no internet browser or something like that.

do I have to have another device to get it online other than the switch? I hope thats the attractive part along with the ability to stream from twitch?

Personally I would much rather have achievements added to the system than some scam pay-to-play online service. Seriously, Nintendo, it's been almost a year. Where are the achievements?!?

Sounds like Nintendo online is gonna come bundled with Halle Berry

Potential Dark Side to Current Gamestop Nintendo Switch Trade-In Offer

Carl Williams writes, "The early adopters of new hardware are effectively the guinea pigs so to speak. Especially here lately as new hardware revisions are introduced as brand new extensions of the previous hardware. This has happened with the Xbox One, Xbox One S, then the Xbox One X. Same for PlayStation 4, then PlayStation 4 Pro. Nintendo has pulled this with their DS/3DS line of hand helds too. They could be pulling a more traditional update with their Switch console though, not necessarily better hardware in some way, but more of a patching of the software and fixing physical problems of the hardware. There is something fishy going on though with this Gamestop Nintendo Switch “switch” event."

Sucks how you still can’t upload save files to external storage so you can easily participate in a program like this.

Not only do you actually gotta subscribe for just that basic feature,’it doesn’t even work for every game.

Once you get a Switch you’re pretty much stuck with it if you value those files

triverse2761d ago

Wow. That is certain crappy of Nintendo.

Gemmol2760d ago (Edited 2760d ago )

works for all my games, even the ones not on the list like nba 2k18, it covers a lot more than the list they announced, so for all my games to be covered, makes the trading in easy for me to do if I wanted one of these new bundles coming out

and seriously, if you play online all the time like I do, the ps4 free downloads and switch nes free games are not reasons for me to get a subscription, just playing online is all i need.......every other benefit from sony and nintendo is just icing on the cake

but if you someone who do not like to play online then I can see it having no benefits for the user, sucks to be them

The dark side? Besides spending $100 for a silly decal?

A silly decal?! It's a goblin and Ezio!!!

Nintendo's Made It Easier to Bring Physical Games to Nintendo Switch: Strictly Limited Games

Gadgets 360: Considering that most physical releases are on the PS4 and PS Vita due to Sony’s flexibility in terms of quantity manufactured, could Nintendo offer the same courtesy?

“Nintendo’s Switch is a great success and Nintendo were completely packed since the beginning. Now that the initial waves have calmed, Big N was able to lower the barriers to entry [for bringing independent games on cartridge for the Nintendo Switch]. I am not sure if there ever will be the same flexibility as with Sony, but we’ll see,” he says, referring to the minimum order quantity allowed by these companies. The minimum order quantity or MOQ as its known in distributor parlance is the commercially viable lowest number of a game that is produced for sale.

After learning that Strictly Limited Games is a two-man operation, I can't help but have more respect for this company.

shinoff21833028d ago

LRG has had this on lock. They were a two man operation until they grew some.

strayanalog3028d ago

Did not know that. Well, I tip my hat to them too for staying with it.
