There is. Earbuds plug into switch and go into your ears. Put wireless headphones on top of that and have it wirelessly connect to your phone. Technically, its a one wire solution.
Well, this and Arcade Archives, Sega Ages, Capcom Collections, etc.The Wii had TurboGrafx games and what not on top of Nintendo's offerings, and now it's reduced to this?
But, what if my sub ends? Can i keep playing them?
That would work, although be weird haha. Never had a headphone on over an earbud. I'm going to try that just because.
Seriously. Has anyone even played NES games recently? It's painful.It's kinda hilarious to see people act like NES games are in any way an enticing prospect for modern day gamers. That, and the online aspects of this offering are so damn barebones that it boggles the mind they are actually going to charge money for it.
But hey, if you want to play MK8 or Splatoon online, you don't really have a choice in the matter.
Ya'll acting like $1.67 a month is some gigantic scam with this fairly small offering of 20 games with added online and cloud saves. A service that will very likely include SNES, N64, GB, GBA ,GC and so on also with added online down the line.
Nah. 20 is the stuff you casually throw at some random indie in the eshop every other month. That for a year is basically meaningless in terms of money lost.
My point was that a simple puzzle game might be good still, but most action games just havent aged well. Honestly, Tetris is great, but I have played it a thousand times. I wouldn't play the NES version, even if Nintendo gave it to me for free. There might be something like that still worth playing (Dr. Mario) but the library of games, outside of that, are just outdated. Mega Man, and SMB3 still have a charm to them, but evey other franchise I can think of just feels stale or rigid compared to, say, their SNES counterparts.
Wouldn't you need to have the restraining order lifted first? ;-)I want to be able to interrupt Reggie's day and ask him how he's feeling, etc
Played Splatoon 2 that way. Didn't use the Nintendo app cus it cuts off at certain times when you're not on the same team. Just used regular phone chat.
Note that the VC was originally one of the things Iwata talked about as the way to get veteran gamers who no longer played video games, to get back into them on the Wii. And Nintendo's (departing) president has said that this upcoming year on the Switch is about targeting veteran gamers who no longer play video games (as well as people who never played Nintendo games). So it does seem to me that the new Nintendo might view the VC game service as important.
SteelSeries has a headset kinda design for this. The Arctis 3 BTHere's my only problem with the service so far: I want to play online games with voice chat, and still hear game audio. Without this monstrous situation:
Well, this and Arcade Archives, Sega Ages, Capcom Collections, etc.
Lol
20$ a year for cloud saves, online with a shitty voice solution and ancient games.
Or 35 if there are more than one user on a switch.
God damn. Nintendo just are not good at this online thing, are they?
Yes. You lose saves, but can get the games again. The only limit is you have to first deactivate the games from the old console, and if you can't do it yourself (broken/stolen Switch), call Nintendo and they will do it for you.

No, like I said I think they might view the VC as important for getting a large audience of gamers who no longer play modern video games. In the sense of getting millions of new Switch owners.But only in the sense of setting it up as an alternative to the Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now. At least for the moment.
Your Honor, I'm too cute to be restrained :-3Wouldn't you need to have the restraining order lifted first? ;-)

Yes I just played balloon fight yesterday. Surprisingly one of my students (9yo) saw me and said 'hey is that...*pauses trying to remember* balloon fight?! Cool!'Seriously. Has anyone even played NES games recently? It's painful.
It's frustrating that we're expected to pay at all and still not get basic features that every other console has. Not being able to message friends via the Switch is ridiculous and I don't care how cheap it is, it doesn't change that fact.
It was a picture of Tom Selleck circa the 1980sYou know at this point I've completely forgotten what your original avatar looked like.
You said the only thing you wanted is games attached to your account, not your console. And that's how Nintendo set it up, it's easy to redownload the games, and it's no longer a situation where if you lose the console or it breaks, all your digital purchases are lost forever. They just don't want people letting their friends play free games without buying them.That still is super unecessary. On PlayStation and Xbox I can play games from multiple systems as long as I have a primary system and log in. I shouldn't have to call Nintendo if my system suddenly dies on me.
Same here. I'm not wasting precious gaming time on nes games. I would rather pay $60 for a real service with real features and real games. This is basically a $20 fee to play Splatoon to me, a year after having played it for free.The NES games are worthless to me, I've owned and played all of them to death. And I'm not paying $20 a year for cloud saves. Let me back up my saves manually (put the SD card in the computer, copy files, or something like that) for free, Nintendo. Don't force me to spend money to back up my saves.
I'd be happy to spend $40-$50 a year for a PS Plus-like service that gave me several retail games to play in addition to online play and cloud saves. That's a much better value, and I think most gamers would prefer it. But knowing how stingy Nintendo is this will probably never happen.
Its probably been asked before, but I don't want to read through 30 pages full of replies.. Are those NES games free to keep or is it a free rental kind of thing?
Voice chat relying on the app is such a huge step back though. ugh. I can give it a pass for handheld mode, but not for docked. Absolutely ridiculous.
