That's what many here thought was taking them so long to announce their new service. Guess the app is itThey gotta be working on the voice chat thing I refuse believe they'll stick to that
So is wario right here or did something happen with the family plan that allowed multi-console sharing?
Yes I too like to compare what Sony and MS "give away" for 60€/year vs what Nintendo "gives away" for 20€/year or 4.30€/year if you split the cost with 7 other people
lmao
like, are you completely oblivious to the fact that, worst case scenario, it's 1/3rd of the cost, or are you intentionally avoiding this fact
maybe will be like PS+ where games free to play and online betas/demos don't need PS+ to play online– Which games require Nintendo Switch Online to access online play?
– Nintendo Switch games such Splatoon™ 2, ARMS™, Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe, Mario Tennis™ Aces, and Sushi Striker™: The Way of Sushido, will require a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but other games will vary
If this ends up meaning most or all 3rd party games don't require online pass to be mandatory. Oh boy...
Maybe 5 years from now when there are decent games on the service we can have a different conversation. By the time Wii U started getting good the system was dead. There's no reason we should expect any different here when they're starting out with fuckin Donkey Kong an Ice Climber. Or are you intentionally ignoring that?Are you also intentionally ignoring that these 20 games are just the starting ones and that the library will grow
And the wording implies that this is a netflix-style service meaning that if you join when there are 100 games already, you get the 100 games, not just the games of the month when you are joining.
Also, when Nintendo initially spoke about the paid service back when they presented the Switch they said it would include NES and SNES games. So we know for sure that SNES games will come.
So what we know for now is that there are 20 NES games when the service starts, and will grow from there, netflix style. SNES games, at minimum, will be added too. Plus, there's the cloud saves, and the online play itself. And the "special offers".
And you're trying to imply 20€ per year, with the option to split the cost with 7 other people at 35€/year resulting in 4.30€/year is...too much?
You can't be serious.
Losing all faith in this new president... he is really starting is tenure off with a major dud.
That's how we did it as kids. I get a turn, if I die it's my brother's turn...
Wat?
First he probably had little input on this, it has been decided for a while and they even delayed for 1 year.
Second, I see no dud here.
For a data avatar you lack information my friend, he is not the prez yet
This might be one of the most illogical posts I've seen in years.
It was a joke post lol. Of course the new (incoming) pres had nothing to do with this! Glad to do my part in keeping the defense force on their toes though.
It's $35 through multiple systems.We don't know yet.
They don't specifically say that you can't do that, but it'd be insane if they actually let that happen.
Looks like family plans are shareable across systems. Yall can get 7 people you know, either here or in RL and have online for as little as $4.6 a year.
Let me find out
All they say is that you can add people to a "family group". It says nothing about having to be in the same console.We don't know yet.
They don't specifically say that you can't do that, but it'd be insane if they actually let that happen.
Except some software? Ugh. I can see it now. Pokemon Switch won't be able to be backed up online to avoid duping. Jfc.
They're gonna run out of NES games that people care about really fast, so I imagine at the very least SNES, GB, GBC and GBA will come to this service as well.
N64 and GC could as well, or they could just sell those.
Further down the thread in that tweet someone has a pic off the PR, stating it is across multiple systems.
WTF
Thr $20 per year plan is only for ONE ACCOUNT, other profiles in your system WON' T be able to use online.
Not whilst they still have warehouses of Mini SNES to ship and sell.
Nintendo plzThat's what many here thought was taking them so long to announce their new service. Guess the app is it
They can't put in in the device, it would be impossible while dockedOMG Nintendo! PUT VOICE CHAT IN THE DEVICE
and use additional features for the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app that will enhance the online experience for compatible games.
i'd rate it 3/100 TRY HARDER next timeIt was a joke post lol. Of course the new (incoming) pres had nothing to do with this! Glad to do my part in keeping the defense force on their toes though.
And I think for 20 bucks a year, what we are getting is more than reasonable. Still hoping for full VC eventually.
Man that game lineup is pathetic. But completely expected
It's crazy how virtual console regressed from Wii -> Wii U -> Switch

Naw you gotta stick to that L lol. Not getting away that easy bro lmaoIt was a joke post lol. Of course the new (incoming) pres had nothing to do with this! Glad to do my part in keeping the defense force on their toes though.

How do we know you were joking????It was a joke post lol. Of course the new (incoming) pres had nothing to do with this! Glad to do my part in keeping the defense force on their toes though.

If this is replacing virtual console, I really hope they keep up a steady stream of games and they bring in N64 and Gamecube.
