20$ is reasonable enough, even if I'd rather just not pay for anything. Wonder why it got delayed to 2018 though.

>>378804635
Paying for online honestly sucks major dick but servers cost money I guess. The price is a huge relief

>>378804635
>basketball american in the upper left

Wait. $20 for online and basically "free" online enabled VC titles? That's not too bad I guess.

>>378804879
>Enjoy free until 2018
Wait, what? Wasn't suppose to start next month?

Delayed until 2018

>>378804879
Well, guess it's better than $59.99 for a year

>>378804635
so did they change the "free" VC games from a single game to a handful? that's alright i guess, though i doubt you can keep them

>>378805038
No, is shit
But is less shit that Xbox and PS

>a library of classic games you can take anywhere

So it's not gonna be strictly a streaming service at least.

Here's hoping we don't have to wait until 2018 for VC to hit.

>>378805068
It was supposed to start Fall, but I guess they delayed it. Good news for us!

According to the official page, you also get the phone app for free this year, it's nkt delayed.

>>378805150
Yeah I heard you can keep them until they released a new batch of classic games which I think is a monthly thing

>After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online.
>most
>not all

>You can buy games from the online store
WHAT A GREAT FEATURE
THANKS NINTENDO

>>378804879
that's actually quite reasonable

>>378805508
What? No, they are saying you get those games with the subscription.

>>378805379
Neat

>>378805680
Netplay was a thing for, what, a decade now? Maybe more?

>>378804879
I'm still completely against paid online, but 20 dollars is a hell of a lot better than the 50 dollars I pay to play GG online as if Arcsys doesn't jew me enough as is.

Better than $60/yr

>>378805765
Yes and it works like fucking shit and most of the time it sets you with the CPU without even telling you, I have played matches of SFII with a friend and at the end of the match we both thought we won.

Having official online support for old games is amazing.

>>378804635
>Online is officially $20 a year

>>378805828
You're paying for a service, fagbasket.

>>378804635
a reasonable price, you can't trash nintendo for this one

>>378805068

>>378804879
I expected $30/year.

>>378805932
>being this retarded

>>378806001
The only thing they need to fix is that you should keep those games, but considering the service costs a third than the others they probably can't do that. They should offer those same games with a huge discount each month though.

>>378806058
>paying to use your own internet

The ones that are not.

Might want to look up modern solutions, I haven't heard of random desyncs in a long time. Were you even on those arcade netplay hubs or just playing the home versions for god knows what reason?

>>378806129
The framework that facilitates the p2p games, dummy. Friends list, matchmaking, voice chat etc.

>>378806140
$1.70/month isn't that bad.

>>378804635
the $20 is reasonable, I was thinking it would be $30. I'm hoping this delay until 2018 will allow them to improve upon what they promised, because things sounded iffy from the get go.

The voicechat/lobby set up smartphone app will either be a genius move or a horrible failure. They better take their time to make sure that shit can work flawlessly.

>>378806248
So practically nothing, which that should be covered by the cost of buying a game with online play. These are also all things that I can do for free elsewhere. The only reason that consoles charge for online is because people pay. If people were to stop paying it would go back to being free. Please stop paying them.

>>378806319
Yeah that's what I want in my E3 presentations, news about re-announcing paid online.

If every consumer just up and decided that they wouldn't pay for online consoles then consoles would no longer have paid online

But consumers are dumb and this is the fatal flaw with capitalism

>>378804879
Well. its going to be on par with ps2's online so it better not cost 60 a year, seriously no chat?

>>378805828
>>378806119
are you genuinly retarded? Do you think the internet is some magical force? Game companies have to run hundreds of servers 24/7 which costs money. For a measily $2 per person to use, not to mention some bonus games? But sure, go back to to your fantasy world where everything is p2p.

>>378806675
Seems like it.

>>378806675
I think they'll still be released on the eshop, but you'll be able to get free month-long VC games with online. But of course, this IS Nintendo we're talking about.

This is the first time in awhile that something's ended up better than expected for me as far as video games are concerned.

>>378806937
It's just going to be leaderboards and you know it.

>>378806883
PS2 had chat. It even had a lot of games that let you create rooms with customized map rotation and rules. It was really much better than people remember.

>>378806950
Not really. Most of the time they just want to play the latest trend which is always worse than the one before it and has no staying power. Either I drag them into something or everyone has a miserable time.

>>378806950

Yes. But I've found board/tabletop games to be a far better venture for game nights than video games desu

What servers? It's all p2p

I would be willing to pay for online games if I was getting dedicated servers to play on

>>378806140
>Consoletards are cancer.

I love consoles but seeing people rationalize paying for hot air is so disappointing.

>>378804879
They must've figured out we realized they were using P2P.

>>378806593
I think the Switch is cool too and I'm eagerly awaiting Xenoblade 2 and Mario but I'm also not a literal cuckold who bends over backwards and accepts anything daddy Nintendo tries to shove up my ass
>>378806897
Nintendo had decent free online throughout all of last gen, with only a few problems to fix (no headset support for games with voice chat, no built-in LAN port on Wii U, friend codes on 3DS, limited voice chat and messaging). There's no reason other than greed for them to start charging for only marginally better online.

>>378807215
Do you think the P2P just magically happens? There's a bunch of servers and systems working to connect and conduct the games even if the actual game is p2p.

>>378807187
What I get arms for $20 amazing Nintendo paid online done right.

>>378806897
Buying games also costs money. If you buy a $60 game with an online focus, that should be the money that goes to the servers for the game. That is the way things have always worked.

>>378807128
>i think servers are free

SERVERS PAID FOR IN THE $60 PRICE TAG OF THE FUCKING GAME.

>>378807187
>ARMS
where does it say that?

>>378807402
>Do you think the P2P just magically happens? There's a bunch of servers and systems working to connect and conduct the games even if the actual game is p2p.

And yet no where else do you pay for a p2p connection aside from game consoles. Not even games in general, just consoles

It's like paying to use torrent clients lol

>>378807090
So you are saying switch'es service wont be on par with ps2?
Thats sad, how are people exited for this again?
Will they still have the obnoxious friend codes?

>>378807485

Imagine if you had to pay monthly to play Diablo II or Starcraft

>>378804915
Probably because they finally got in touch with the backlash and they have to re-assess some stuff now with the new system.

>>378806716
>the $20 is reasonable
No it's not, as it stands Nintendo hasn't improved on shit from the Wii U
>he voicechat/lobby set up smartphone app will either be a genius move or a horrible failure
This is something that should be native to the console

I think Nintendo's online service will be worth it because they're fucking making games with online play in mind like ARMS, Splatoon 2 and MK8, without butchering their iconic franchises (Mario, Zelda) in the process.

I mean, Microsoft had a reason to do it (Halo, Gears, Forza, more console shooters and shit), now Nintendo has one too, the only one who shouldn't be charging for online is Sony, they don't have a single decent multiplayer exclusive, and paying to play multiplat shooters online it's stupid since you can do it free on PC with a mouse.

>>378807612
>Um actually sweetie you pay $60 for the $60 game not for the servers

Guys, this is it. In the 15 years I've been shitposting on gaming forums, THIS has to be the single most retarded thing I have ever had the misfortune of reading.

>>378807885
>as it stands Nintendo hasn't improved on shit from the Wii U
What? They even kept Miive-

Oh.

>>378804635
Yea, this is great all guys, but I'm not going ignore and forget about them having a COMPLETELY retarded method around having fucking voice chat and Friend codes. They can fuck off with that....

But, with some bads, comes with goods.

>>378807681
Okay so just turn on the Switch at the same time as your pal and suddenly you're playing together? No, because you need the service framework that Nintendo provides to set up these p2p games.

>>378807887
To be fair MS dropped the ball pretty hard. The only games from them I would play online are Forza Horizon 3 and Master Chief Collection (assuming it even worked). Thankfully FH3 is on PC

I don't care fo voice chat and would prefer not to pay for it. Hell discord is a free and better alternative.

Really don't see why I would bother. The only multiplayer games I'd want to play on the Switch if I had one would be Splatoon and maybe Arms, but both will be dead by the time you have to pay for the service.

I agree with this, after the Kinect Microsoft just went to shit and I don't want to hear anything else from them. I even bought an Xbone and enjoyed Halo 5 but still, no fucking games, it was nothing like the 360 so I sold it like a year later.

They still make multiplayer games though, people who like Xbox are still playing Halo, Gears and Forza online so they have a reason to pay.

>>378808762

The other guys give you more, though. Nintendo will rent you some games month to month, but Microsoft and Sony both give you a bunch of game rentals that don't go away after the month is over.

People say it's really good and cheap.

But really, can you name 5 good online games this year and in the future?

That was my very first experience with MasterRace inferiority complex bullshit. Early 90s.
I always loved consoles and have owned most of the major ones.
And it came it this, year of our lord 2017, to finally admit that console tards are seriously fucking retarded.

>>378809767
At $20 a year compared to $50-$60 on XBL/PS+, you're at least getting a reasonable price.

>>378809767
Considering it's a massive difference in price, it's sure as hell more resonable that the other companies doing it.

>>378809946
I had no huge issues with their previous online service. The only problem is that they don't like local match making. For them "regional" was the western hemisphere. You want have a good connection to Japan or South America no matter how much you pay them. I will also point out that PC is a competitor and offers a better service for free. $0 is the only reasonable price.

>>378810720
tell me the situation in which you haven't touched your console for a year, but somehow still want to play games on it. If you're ignoring it so hard that you let the fucking 20 bucks once a year lapse, then you almost certainly don't have any interest in the system, or playing shitty NES games on it with nobody else. Emulators exist, use those.

>>378810756
The two games that I feel would have free online are monster hunter and pokemon
Pokemon because no one is going to fucking use it if they do and just use showdown instead

I was excited until I saw the price.

For 20 a year you can already tell its gonna be some shit like "You can play Super Mario Brothers and Solomon's Key this month" and then they go away. You wont keep them like PS+.

What they need is a netflix-like service where a permonth sub gets you the whole NES/SNES/whatever library.

What the fuck are you talking about? What servers? Nintendo doesn't host servers. They never have, and they aren't starting now.

They have ONE server for friends list and spying on you, which is simple af, and certainly doesn't cost 20 million dollars a year.

>>378810943
considering they are adding online play, I can see why the entire library wont be there immediately.
But it literally is exactly like PS+, you keep it as long as you have a subscription, and its an "ongoing" collection, not a monthly thing. Read, nigga, read.

>>378810943
It's part of a catalog and as long as someone has a subscription they can be played whenever they want to. Paid online is shit but at least shitpost properly.

>>378810907
>where the hell are you going with this

That if consumers refused to pay for an online service, then companies would stop charging for it

But for some reason they continue to eat it up. I haven't figured out why yet

>>378804879
$20 isn't bad but it puts into perspective with XBL and PSN that companies can charge pretty ridiculous amounts for online you already pay for, and us consolefags would be shit out of luck. No one's forcing you but you are compelled given today's emphasis on multiplayer.

>>378811176
>>378811172
It's going to end up being some rotating catalog with 2-3 games per system at any given time. There is no way in fucking hell they'd give you anytime access to a long term full sized library when previously NES games were selling for 5 a piece on the Wii and Wii U

BEST CASE is its like PS+, where you keep the game of the month as long as you sub. So the longer you sub the bigger library. But it wont ever be pay 5 bucks get an instant library

Hopefully they'll delay it indefinitely. The Switch is doing well enough that they don't really need to charge for online to fill in the profit gap.

>>378811481
The catch is the VC rollout is gonna be Wii U slow. The benefits of $20 a year on a console that many are predicting will sell Wii numbers probably outshines the need to nickle and dime people for NES games.

>Online lobby and voice chat: Our new dedicated smart device app will connect to Nintendo Switch and let you invite friends to play online, set play appointments, and chat with friends during online matches in compatible games─all from your smart device.

So this app is required not only to chat with friend, but to group/party up with them in a game? And the voice chat isn't even universal/cross-game party chat, it only applies to specific games which support voice chat? And this functionality is STILL behind a paywall?

Holy fucking shit Nintendo could you possibly fuck this up any harder? Paying to play online is one thing but paying just to voice chat with your friends via some smartphone app when it's not even party chat is beyond retarded. Like, lightyears beyond retarded.

I remember the god awful techniques people would cheese during Halo 2 in the XBLA days. And I remember hearing how bad For Honor is. There's no dedicated servers for any console games are there?

"Dedicated server" is just a fucking meme. What people really mean by that is "match selection."

>>378817735

No, retard.

You're paying for the service to allow you to play on their servers. You're paying for quality, as opposed to PC online, which has a variety of problems.

Not only that, but you get plenty of other features. Mustards are braindead.

Netflix offers movies and delivers them through your internet connection. With a video game, you already bought the multiplayer as part of the game.

This is why competition is a good thing you fags.
Sony will be pressured to lower psn+

>>378821554
Why would they care? They have a monopoly on PS4 games online service market and Nintendo has nothing to do with it

20$ a year? Plus classics? Literally nothing. I'll gladly pay the japs this.

>>378822176
You also get literally nothing for your money

>>378822285

>least expensive option gets praised
this is somehow wrong??

Just like on the PS4, paid for online services are the best tool against hackers. I would gladly pay steam 60$ a year to use it if It was as hack and cheat free as the PS4.

>>378822656
Just stop playing csgo

But wqhat am I getting for that 20 bucks? do I get full access to every game they've ever made, forever? Do I get perfect quality online with no restrictions and instant bans on people under the age of 18? Do I get anything?

>>378813075
to clarify, it's access to whatever is in the library

the library could be 3 games, we don't know the details yet

it's better than the single game for a month only thing though

>>378823215
you get what sony and xbox users are getting for $40 dollars less

also
>full access to every game they've ever made forever
name one first-party developer that does this.

>>378823215
You are getting access to online play which takes shekels, also snes games and such. This was inevitable on consoles, be thankful it's cheap as shit.

>you get what sony and xbox users are getting for $40 dollars less
I get it on PC for free, and I don't have to wait for nintendo to tell me what I'm allowed to play.

>name one first-party developer that does this.
Everyone on PC for instance.

>This was inevitable on consoles, be thankful it's cheap as shit
hmm, no. I won't be thankful that consoles have become greedy.Anything above 0 dollars is not cheap enough.

>>378823772
You didn't have to go through all this trouble. You could've just told that you pirate games to instantly let us know that you're a massive fucking poor, penniless, poverty-ridden faggot.

>no achievement system

>library of classic games you can take anywhere

So do you download them or are they dependent on being online to access them?
