His exaggerations are intentional, and he raises a valid point. As long as there is no other alternative to backing up saves, charging for it is just ridiculous, even if it’s just $20. I guarantee most Switch owners that pay the $20 will do so primarily for the ability to back up saves, and Nintendo knows this, which is why they don’t offer another option. To be honest, the $20 for online and cloud saves is very reasonable, but they need to enable saving locally. Otherwise it just seems as if they are withholding a mundane feature, that has been around for decades, for the sake of gouging money.

Considering their consoles has been hacked wide open and cannot be remedied the last thing they should be doing is implementing anti-consumer practices such as utilizing a paywall for save backups. They are opening Pandora's box here.

He answers in his video very plainly and its easy to understand.

Nintendo since Wii U do not force developers to put achievement system, they have a choice unlike ps4 and Xbox

But you can put one in your game.....

disgae for switch have ps4 trophy in it where it shows up exactly like the ps4 version

Minecraft shows up just like Xbox system achievement

So your response is wrong

Now if you said you wish Nintendo had 1 standard and all the developers follow it to make a trophy system now this would be correct but saying they don't have a system when the system allow u to do whatever is just lying

Both Sony and Microsoft have consoles which include 500GB - 1TB - 2TB hard drives...

*Anytime*
How bout right now?

Except i am NOT Paying for cloud saving on PS4 in particular. That’s an extra to me. And if I choose not to pay for PS+, I got an USB for backup

Meanwhile with Nintendo... Pay or else. How you nintendo chills fail to see this flaw when comparing it to Sony and MS As excuse I will never know

Except:

1) the chances of HDD breaking is very low
2) I am already paying to play Online on PS4 and get cloud saves as extra
3) Don’t want ro pay for online anymore? I get other options to back up saves

Meanhile Nintendo:

1) no other options to back up saves unless I Play. If there was, no problem
2) I have no interest in playing online on Switch. So again, no other choice to back up saves

And if Nintendo ads that? GREAT! But the damn question is, why is this not a thing in 2018 yet? Nintendo has this problem of being the last In catching up with features the competitiors have been doing for years yet they make it worse instead of better. This needs to stop Like... now!

Dude unless you're equipped with an SSD, the chances of the stock mechanical drive failing is higher than flash memory. I agree that Nintendo should've added SD back-up for the Switch, but the comparison that an option that other platforms have with their online sub is "holding you hostage" is kinda ridiculous. You can't really back up your save data if your console gets bricked from a firmware update or the drive dies out :/

I bought a 2 tB HDD 4 years ago and it is still working. I bough a 1 HDD for my PS3 like 8 years ago and it is still going. No breaks! I mean you have to have a huge power surge problem in your town to corrupt your HDD that much

Again, where Nintendo chills fail with the comparison is that there are plenty of options to back up saves on PS4 and Xbox. One who doesn’t have PS+ or Gold can still do it the old fashioned way, while Nintendo the one and only option is behind a paywall. That is why people are being vocal about it: people who don’t want to pay for online are screwed.

Back ups is a feature people have been asking for, and when Nintendo finally listens they put it beind a paywall

And here's the biggest shill of all.

I am not saying that Nintendo doesn't deserve to charge for online like the others are doing. The problem is that the feature everyone has been requesting is behind a paywall and there's no more options. This should not be the case in 2018

You're making stuff up. If Nintendo is doing a paid online service then it should be fairly on par with the other 2. Simple as that. And we know Nintendo has been behind in online infrastructure for almost a decade now.

@Wonderful

"Your drives not breaking doesn't mean it never happens to others, and if you take such great care of your stuff anyways, then you're literally not affected by not having free cloud saves in the first place because apparently your stuff never ever breaks no matter what."

but a home console is subject to alot less wear and tear than a handheld hybrid console. not saying that is the reason that people are up in arms about not being able to back up their saves locally, but it is a factor in that.

I'm deffo paying for the 20/y. What I was saying is that it's a good deal for what we're getting for the Switch's online service.

Definitely. All things considered the fact that most of us have put up the numerous ups and downs of the PSN and Xbox live since their respective beginnings with $50-60 fees... $20 is nothing.

30 bucks a year for 3 years of PSN, thanks for amazon...But hey, lets not try to detract from your agenda.

@fonger08

Sorry, you have major issues with both PSN/XboxLive services. I have had very little issues. But hey at least they had have services for people to use. 2018 and just now getting a online service for a console.....ROFLMAO. And btw, 50-60 bucks is something i have never paid for psn. Just got my account good till 2020 with 30 bucks a year from amazon.

Does that apply to everyone else in the entire world?

You paid a 50% off sale price of $90($180 normally) and had to buy 3 years up front compared to a non sale price of $60, which you won't have to prepay. What is your point exactly?

..phone!?
lol
