What is their idea of cost-effective? Like, they have the money to make the online infrastructure better, they're essentially admitting that they're too stingy to even put in the slightest effort to make it better.

Miyamoto thinks Nintendo's online services have not fallen behind

Nintendos Online has indeed not fallen behind the same F-Zero has not.
Myiamoto has fallen behind long time ago.
It was obvious that the Switch's release was rushed, considering how bare-bones its features outside of games was.
For real. You could at least set yourself up with a buddy list and a headset on the original.
That's about it. Also Splatoon 2 and now Mario Maker 2. But Splatoon 2 isn't any different from when it was free to play online, so...
This is probably more of a cultural thing. Kind of like that story where a young developer showed a western game to their boss and they said it was crap, cheap or something.At the end of the day this is still the same company with this gem:
The Secret Developers: Wii U - the inside story
A third-party developer talks about the challenges of working with Nintendo and its latest console.www.eurogamer.net
They probably do have people using those systems but they pretend not to because they consider themselves superior.
It's clear to me that none of you read the article because he clearly states that it's easy to see how people one would say that they are behind because they don't know what is going on until they announce it because they don't announce their plans until they are sure things, but then he says that he doesn't think they have fallen behind (because he knows what is in the works).
Do I believe they have stuff in the works for their online service? 100% yes
Do I believe it will "catch them up"? Not fully, no, but I do think they have something in store that will do a lot.

They're not even at the level PSN or Xbox started at, hell those are multiple levels ahead of Nintendo.
I mean he can think whatever he wants but that doesn't mean he isn't delusional. Nintendo is so far behind in the online space it's pathetic.
Maybe Nintendo thought that was the reason why the WiiU wasn't successful - too much online functionality!
/s
For sure, but you might think they would start adding in some basic features after three years on the market.
It took Nintendo almost 20 years to implement non-hardware tied accounts. I love my Switch, but the only reason why I'm paying for the online service is because I have no choice.
Both this thread and the article appear to be clickbait, no? This is the actual question asked:
That question has nothing to do with online services on their consoles. His answer:
It looks like Miyamoto just lumped in cloud computing, streaming and mobile advances into the catch-all "network services" in that answer.
So basically he is not saying what this thread title claims he is.

Just some footage of Mario Maker 2's online races shows how much of a delusional statement this is.
There is no defense for something someone never said.
Read the actual Q&A, this is classic clickbait.
Its really something when Wii U's online features were better and now we're paying for the switch services. I'm basically paying to play NES games.
Nobody has been defending this from what I see.
However, the OP's title and interpretation of the actual quote is misrepresented. Miyamoto was responding to a question regarding VR, mobile gaming and cloud computing/streaming
I get pedantic about the definition of clickbait mostly so I can respond to threads like these by saying
god I wish it were clickbait. then maybe people would actually read the linked article
I do wish Splatoon 2 had, like, actual servers for multiplayer though.
Can one of you mods actually make adjustments to the title because it's being construed in the wrong wat. He was asked about mobile and VR. At the end they only ask about 4G to 5G.
The article itself is very misleading too. It doesn't even quote the actual question asked.
But yeah I wish this was clickbait cause then maybe people would actually click it and look into this story and realize it's badly misinterpreted.
I'd wager 99% did not.
