>Nintendo Switch Online coming in 2018 >$20 per year

>Free for the rest of the year

Cool.

inb4 smash conveniently releases on the same day of the paid service

At least their janky online service is free until then unlike what they stated before which was Fall. I hope my connection doesn't shit itself while playing Spa2n.

at least it's cheap, but I'm still not happy about the smartphone app thing.

maybe they'll actually be in stock by then

Good price so long as they improve the connection

GG Nintendo

>free this year

Well that's all the time i need to play mohun if it comes here.

>still pushing the smart phone shit

What a shitshow.

Fucking xbox.

$20 per year is lower than I expected.

>paying to rent SNES games and have most online functionality on a smart phone
HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAH

And what's the point of paying for it other than online games?
>Voice chat system is terrible
>"Free games" can be emulated on anything

I don't give a fuck if I have to pay more for games, be honest with me, 70 bucks sure I will pay but paying for online services is the biggest gaming scam FUCKING EVER.

It looks like they changed their mind about that part. They removed that off the site, and now they are just saying that you get those games with the service.

Is it okay when Nintendo does it or no?

im actually really not ok with nintendo doing a paid service that is almost 100% going to suck dick.
However, 20 bucks a year is a price that i can pay and forgot about.
So I guess good job on that.

Then why haven't I experienced almost any? I mean, I pay (sadly) for Sony's shit and it disconnects and fucks up left and right. I don't see why I should be more upset about an online service that gives me far less shit costing less money as well. I never once had an issue with anything but the occasional lag on someone else's side in Mario Kart.

>>378806530

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.

Charging for online is shit and it's shit that won't go away because each console has you by the balls.You have to use their service or it's nothing. This would never happen on PC because of all the competing storefronts.

That being said 20 a year isn't so bad. I expected a lot worse. The phone app nonsense is bullshit.

It's not ok when Nintendo does but at least they're fucking you for 20 a year and not 50-60.

Switch can already do headsets. I have no idea why they made that adapter. People have taken it apart and confirmed that it's stereo with line in

>>378811812
>Why the fuck is the voice chat/party app another PAID application on a seperate device? Why the fuck is this so convoluted? Daily reminder this 5 and a half years ago
I think they're trying to lessen the amount of apps on the console so that there aren't as many exploits for it to become hackable.

>>378811948
that's not how software exploits work

>>378812053

>>378811737

The voice chat not being on Switch is probably a business move than a developer one. The Switch is entirely capable but they probably moved the responsibility of managing the voice/chat servers to a third party which don't have access to Switch hardware.

It should be entirely possible for Nintendo to make a U-turn on this, but I doubt they will since they're so out of touch.

>>378812158
you don't just remove functionality to make device safer. Anything can be potentially exploited and it's usually done via some script or texture that looks at the CPU funny.

More reasonable explanation would of course be, if you put voice chat on mobile network shoulders you can simply lease out entire infrastructure for voice streaming to a third-party and not bother to waste your money on an in-house solution.

Same reason as for why Dark Souls / many recent Call of Duties have been released without dedicated servers for multiplayer

Only thing I hoping out of this is that the competition lowers their paid online costs in response.

>>378812638
no fucking shit, Sherlock - a smart toilet seat can voice chat these days. Of course, it's a business decision

The Switch doesn't have any apps on it. Only games. Which is super weird considering how App Crazy Nintendo was 10 years ago.

>>378812747

Calm the fuck down, faggot.

>>378812701
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony and Microsoft announce a "basic" tier of subscription where you just get the ability to play online for cheaper without the free games and store discounts and shit.

>>378805395
Switch isn't for 3rd worlders

>>378812868
go fucking eat a dick and cry onto your mom's shoulder, bitch

>>378812750
Probably because people would use said apps to put the only app that matters onto the console, Homebrew

So let me get this straight. They announce that online is even LESS than the $30 a year predicted, gets an extended free period, AND they announce you DO get to keep the games instead of them cycling every month and you faggots are STILL crying? Jesus christ, you people are never happy. Also, nobody is defending the stupid voice chat setup and that's not what this thread is about so don't bitch about "it's ok when Nintendo does it"

>>378812869
would be preferable.

the basic type of what you described should honestly be free, but I'll take it discounted.

>>378813625

The same reasonw hy people do the same thing when it's someone disgracing sony and someone jumps to calling the person a nintendo or pc fan boy.

>>378812869
They won't. No one actually cares about the free games and discounts. Most of the discounts are for games you don't or probably already have if they are any good.

The + free games were worth it on the PS3 and vita before the PS4 came out but nowadays they mostly just give out 3 hour long indie games and telltale shit. The best thing they gave out on PS4 was valiant hearts and 2k16

The subscription service is gonna be great, 1/3 the price of Microsoft and Sony and with the quality of Nintendo games you'll likely save more than the $20 on the discounts they give alone, let alone the free games with online play. I can't wait to fucking slaughter you in online Dr. Mario, I've been practicing that shit for 20 years now.

That's less than $2 a month, perfectly reasonable to me.

I'm fairly certain even the poorest of kids that play games on the Switch will have access to $20 to spend for a year or even less for the 3 month subscription.

The games from the Not Virtual Console only being available for a month is still fucking inexcusable though. For fuck's sake Nintendo...

Except they're not only available for a month, it's like Netflix for old games where they are ALL available at all times. You can start in 2019 and get all of the 2018 games instantly, for example, and you never "lose" the games as long as you subscribed. This was confirmed by Nintendo and then double-confirmed by Kotaku, which clarified that Nintendo didn't mis-speak.

>>378804959
I wouldn't want the Switch or N's online service even if THEY paid ME for using them.

Very nice. Nintendo is making all the right moves. Smart to make it free for entire 2017, too. Gives them time to work on it and it's a great "gift" to people who bought it early.

>>378828454
It can't be a dead meme when you fucks keep proving it right.

>>378804959
when does the god damn VC launch

>>378828536
>nintendo did something good? time to re-use that dead meme that reddit uses constantly, and then deflect and pretend that obviously it's being proven right because I used it!!!

>>378804959
>$19.99

Why its not just $20? What is the point of $0.001?

You have literally until the end of 2017 to save $20 for a year of online. Are you a fucking child?

>>378807056
they are nintenbros they already bought 10 years old dated hardware for premium price and literally wank at daily basic how innovative and great new breath of the 10 years old late skyrimzelda is

>>378828636
It's a marketing scheme to make it look cheaper. Statistically works.

>>378827530
>paying Noot after he's done nothing for the site other than adding boards that nobody requested

>>378828636
The same point the single cent has had for decades, you fucking mongoloid. The .01 difference has existed many decades before your mother shit you own because it means you see a smaller number, people are much more likely to agree with a number beginning with a 1 than a 2 when it comes to a 2 digit dollar amount.

>>378828750
Sonyfans were way worse about bloodborne and uncharted 4. BBfags are still worse

>>378828536
It was a dead meme when it was originally Sony dude.

>>378809010
So basically it's just PS+ but cheaper and with better games.
Eh alright. I'd rather free online but this is acceptable.

>>378829184
Don't forget that PS+ just gives you shitty incomplete games that never come with the DLC because if you wanted a game that was on PS+ you would have already owned it, while the Switch games are actually going to be different just because online multiplayer changes things.

You're just shitposting but something like that would make for a good way to save money.
