It's fine if you just want to buy the online. In all honesty, most Smash fans or people who want to play a particular game at some point will cave eventually, myself included. It's just how it goes.

The problem is, while the Nintendo Online may be a third of the price of PS Plus, and we shouldn't expect it to be as good as a result, we should still be able to expect a tangible service. Which we aren't getting. You guys are acting as if something being cheaper than something else automatically makes it better, completely ignoring the concept of "value".

Nintendo doesn't use dedicated servers even for their biggest and most competitive online games that would demand fast connections, so "paying to help maintain and improve the online infrastructure", the most basic purpose of an online subscription service, isn't even a factor here.

Cloud saves, one of the biggest advertised features of the service, and ESPECIALLY important considering the nature of the Switch (it's portable and unless you're willing to hack it, you can't just backup your saves onto a USB...like you can on PlayStation and like the Wii used to let you do with an SD Card). Yet right before the service goes live, they announce that the games that most benefit from such a feature, don't use it. Then some third party games can't use it, despite being able to use cloud saves on other platforms.

You can't voice chat without jumping through a bunch of weird hoops. Meanwhile on PS4, I plug a headset into my controller and it just works.

But hey here's Super Mario Bros. for the 100th time. And a bunch of other NES games that most people would consider bad by today's standards. Not like you haven't been playing those for decades on your PC and phone and maybe even on your PSP. Probably the most ironic part about this is that hackers have already got Dolphin emulator running on Switch yet Nintendo insists on shoving NES games down our throats, again. And PS4 players are getting multiple €40-€60 games along with an indie game or two, every single month, for their subscription, plus discounts on even more games.

Nintendo also kinda shot themselves in the foot by making it free for so long. While it was good for the consumer that they delayed the paid service, they've created a problem in that consumers are used to getting their service for free now. The paid service isn't offering any tangible upgrade, certainly not without caveats. So it suddenly becoming paid isn't justified.

So again, it's fine if you want to pay for the service. Just stop pretending it's genuinely good. You're only buying it out of necessity, you don't genuinely want to pay to play online. It's an arbitrary paywall and nothing else. There is nothing there giving it any actual value. €50 for a year of PS Plus (not even counting it's often sold cheaper) isn't JUST for online play, it's for a bunch of other great services, including access to hundreds, if not thousands of euros worth of free, modern games per year. And since many first party Sony games actually do have servers, you can have faith that your money goes towards maintaining and improving that. You won't get that with Nintendo though. It's just a paywall for the sake of being one.
tl;dr this time around
I was already disappointed when Nintendo announce paid online way back in 2017 Switch presentation.

I knew that service was going to be lacking so for me, Nintendo Switch paid online was neither good nor bad to me. Their announcement of the service having cloud service did made me look the service a little better, until when I realized some games like Splatoon 2 don't support it.

So yeah, I don't really care about NES games for now, butI really hope Nintendo can just spill all the beans eventually until they launch their service because as of right now, the service isn't worth 20$ for me.... at least from the infos we know.

  • Get to hang out with friends tomorrow
  • Wonder how the **** this all happened
Hey, glad to hear you got great luck! :)
Y'all hating on Tap Battle.

I enjoy it. It's a good little minigame that's a solid choice to unwind with. It runs all month so you can get at it whenever. And since the rewards aren't tied in to performance or difficulty it's all basically free stuff.

They just need to switch up the endings and it'd be perfect.

Keep your trash Rally Defense and give me a hundred more Tap Battle floors.

[EDIT]: Relay Defense.

I give so few ****s about that mode I can't even get its name right.
I enjoy it too, because you get some good orbs out of that.

I got Quan!

I was only at 3.25 and there were no greens just one blue so I pulled it.

He’s plus attack minus speed. Which is pretty good. He has bulk to live two hits and can always run quick ripost.

With 62 attack when buff he’s gonna hit hard

Wait a minute...
It was your fault!
Ok, sorry for the mispelling in the name. It's @Shishœ. Anyways, what happened was that he posted a meme in Smash thread, and because of him and his trolling, the Smash thread got closed, with an warning being given to him. Was not worth the risk, I assure you.

Why are you blaming me?

Stop, stop, he's already dead.
I think Ephiraim's just cursed at this point, considering what happened in the original voting gauntlet seems to be repeated here(I don't remember what other VGs he was in, if he was in any others, but still). :p

Really anyone who I pick can be considered cursed, since I can count the amount of VGs where the character I've picked has won on one hand, possibly even with a few fingers cut off.

Ok, ;et's see more posts...
I see. I mean I kinda know why they don't have it on top of the page, because then what use would there be for the forums when you got Discord.
In the end I'm just trying to find a good place to Scottpost and have a fun time man lmao

Tried with a few Discord servers, but just didn't really vibe with them; they don't have problems, just weren't for me, I suppose. Tried the Etika community, and BOY WAS THAT FUN.

Oh boy, you can say that ScotttheWoz is probably the most hilarious Nintendo Youtuber of 2018 in my opinion.
I still don't like the whole "political neutrality" because I know that it just means "LGBTphobia is a political opinion"
Eh, I know this maybe be irrelevant but, I only know once you work in an administration, like diplomat which is my dream career after college, you gotta be political neutral when it comes to how you do your job.

And when it comes to this website though, I remember there is a thread where you can discuss about politics, so that's that.
So NintenZone stuff? I see.
Exactly, some users just aren't easy to be um... pleased? Nah, ignore what I just said lol.
Basically, the Smash thread locked itself. That's all you really need to know.
This thread? or other thread? I aware some already asked the same question so I will just ask that.
Basically, Shu is the reason Smash thread closed itself. He got a warning though...
I'm a bit curious to know the reason though.

It seemed like you were involved with him though.
That is surprising to hear though. How was it Shish's fault?

I was not involved with him. I only replied to him once, because others were also replying to him. Just once, though. Others were quoting him constantly. I knew he was a troll. So, I was about to post another minor detail of Smash Ultimate, but then the thread closed before I could. Thus not letting me finish.

It was Shish's fault, because he started a meme by quoting another person's. Someone said a thing, and Shish replied with a meme, although in text format. That's how it was his fault. He derailed the thread.

I don't know how to explain it better. I'm not this good at explaining.

I saw. Either way, I do not think Shish deserves an infraction or anything. Just a little warning.

I check Smash Ultimate thread, and oh boy.... can't believe a Fortnite related joke also reach to Smash Ultimate thread, welcome to 2018 Internet lol.
Remember, Fortnite community and any of its joke, meme are cancer...
But hey, I still enjoy playing Fortnite with my brothers though.

Also, I know I shouldn't like look down on users with less than 1000 posts, but... when I see posts from users that are like new and doesn't know some of the post were jokes... yeah I wasn't surprised...

We aren’t allowed to do anything fun anymore. A simple ***** joke and the mods shut down the thread, what a darn shame.
If you want fun, go play video games you like. Or go to a thread where you can really just have fun.

Wait a minute...

Well, to be fair, you did fell to that joke's trap, which made me both giggle but also later face palmed... because I know where that joke was originated from.

Also, the thread you were on was Smash Ultimate Thread, you technically should talk about the game, or something related to the game.

I see we still haven't grown up from the mentality of "X thing is popular therefore bad" and trivialising a horrid condition that actually kills people.

The year is 201X. All Smashboards users have moved to ResetEra due to a lower chance if being banned and having threads locked there.

Fine......
I'm mainly trying to help you understand when you should time your responses, Shiny: asking if I want to hear a joke when I'm trying to express sympathy or trying to show the good sides of a situation seems a bit contradictory when you think about it.

Oh. I did not know you would react to that. My apologies.

Also that new Spiderman game looks great, especially considering the fact I have a PS4 Pro and not a regular PS4.
