Nintendo's shutting it down yet again, as if they haven't learned their lesson from the first time.

Which is what we're discussing right niw.

Ah gotcha. My bad then, should have read up on this before making that comment. If I had known I wouldn't have made it.

You might want to start reading up on things before butting in next time.

Duty noted, I admit I should have done that.

Hey buddies!

I love dogs! ^_^

 

[Wario Bros.]

Was prize money going to be involved in that tourney?

 

[---]

I don't have any real emotional stake in whatever is going on, but I will state that we're probably better off waiting for the next MvC game than a reissue of a legacy Smash game. Even Smash 64 probably has to go through a lot because of DKC/Pokemon/Earthbound.

Benefit of the doubt: ARMS has rollback.


You read that right

And tell me, what is the state of ARMS in 2020 looking like?

 

[Deleted member]

We need LEGS, man.

No, I am not being horny.

So you want Moon Shoes, the fighting game?

 

[Wario Bros.]

I never liked that "LEGS should be an ARMS sequel" joke.

It has lore.

 

[TheMightyP]

Uh, has a character in Smash I guess.

Doesn't Tennis Aces also have rollback? It does have one of the best onlines on the entire system, and iirc, they're still hostong tournaments and stuff.

I wish Competitive Mario Tennis was an esport, at least gives me an excuse to be interested in the sports games.

I mean, unlike Splatoon you had to go outta your way to actually see the lore so most people didn't even bother.

Hell even I didn't know there was lore until I looked up a 100% youtube video and saw the paintings I deemed as useless had a few paragraph's worth of lore. And I have hundreds of hours in Arms.

it's funny how Nintendo's online has gotten steadily worse over the years.

2017 (MK8D, Splatoon) - Online's fine, more or less. no frame drops.

2018 (Smash) - Can be pretty laggy at times

2019 (Mario Maker 2 Multiplayer) - literally non-functional

 

[Lamperouge]

It's still pretty easy to find matches in both Ranked and Party mode.

Min Min got in Smash, and the game still did pretty well.

And I don't think it did not do as amazing because of its online.

 

[Shroob]

I still always expected this to happen sooner or later lol.


It's just, we know how Nintendo acts, why are we surprised when the community builds up their tower of babel and Nintendo strikes it down?


This keeps happening and it's like the community expects that Nintendo had a change of heart.


They don't give a rats ass about games that can't make them a current profit, but you damn well better believe that they won't let those games out of their grip.

 

[TheMightyP]

Yeah, Mario Maker 2's online is by far the worst thing I have ever played in a video game. Wtf happened there.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, but they could easily radically change the plot, like Final Fantasy.

 

[Spongeboob]

Isn't that just Divekick?

Sells extremely well for a "new game", let alone a new fighting game ip.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

If you wanna get into it, big input delay, GSP didn't make sense, befire the patches there was a **** ton of dropped inputs since it only read them every other frame, etc.

It's a lot when you dive deep enough

Haven't had many issues with input delay myself, so I can't really say anything about that, but I can certainly agree with the GSP issues.

[PeridotGX]

imput lag was way more common in Smash 4, I'll give them that.

That's pretty much all the praise I got for Ultimate's netcode.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, I recently discovered that a Smash Bros. comic dub I voiced in has hit 3.3 million views. That's real cool.

Because we know that they can do better than that, and we know they should do better than that.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Switch port of Doom Eternal might be canceled. GameStop has been calling people who preordered it that.

If true than it would be awkward for this product that's already out

I am unsure if that is true or not, but Smash 4's online was much better than Ultimate's online, and Smash 4's online was quite flawed.

What's everyone's favorite pizza topping? For me, it's ham.

What is it with Nintendo and online?

They're a few steps, if not leaps, behind their competition.


The Switch is a Smash hit, but if you compared it to its competition, it pales in comparison in terms of raw power, and this has been true for pretty much every console.


Look at Nintendo during the Wii era. While PS3 and 360 were smart and thought about voice comms through headsets, Nintendo's idea was putting a device on top of your TV, which not only would be far away from you, but also pick up your TV's noise.


And then while everyone else had a normal friend list/online system, Nintendo stuck to friend codes, an already outdated idea.


Nintendo excels in some areas, but drags behind in others, and due to their success, they see no real reason to improve. Honestly, the WiiU being a flop did more good than harm.

Just found a Shiny Hydreigon online from a player who nicknamed it Cerberus 2.0, and a friend of mine saw it and goes, "Cerberus is the dog, you ass cheek!"

Bethesda ain't said ****. That could change at any moment, though.

Hi there! There have been no recent announcements regarding the status of the DOOM Eternal Switch release. Please keep an eye on our website and official Twitter channels for more information

What is it with Nintendo and online?

i think part of it is that Nintendo is based in Japan, a nation with very good internet and a very dense population. They just might not have anywhere the problems we do.

 

[TheMightyP]

Sometimes, Nintendi gets too big for their britches, and it just collapses on them.

The Wii U was a disaster for everyone involved, themseoves, their audiences, and the developers and investors, because they tried to keep banking on an idea that was fading out of style wuth the disasterous Kinect and PS Move.

 

[Shroob]

Because we know that they can do better than that, and we know they should do better than that.

But with every should, follows a could, and with every could, follows a don't.


They're the richest company in Japan. If people keep buying their products hand over fist, for what purpose do they have to change?

 

[Deleted member]

One Piece's latest chapters have gotten really crazy. Gol D Roger gets more screentime than he has the entire show, in a flashback related to an entire nother character lol

Yeah... you're right.

Which means the next console has to be a flop so Ninty can get it through their heads

I like how Ultimate handles the system of online, but the execution is awful.
Like, I thought seperating "for fun" and "for glory" was pretty jarring back in the Sm4sh days, back when I was exclusively a casual player. Now that they're more intertwined (with you being able to get your ruleset 99% of the time, thanks to updates), I like it better. No restriction to FD/no items for competitive players, and casual players can do 1-on-1 with items or on a non-hazards stage. Heck, you can even play Stamina mode online, and I think that's pretty cool.
Although the execution, with input lag, lag in general, inability to swap out characters in a set with someone, and how that promotes playstyles that thrive online and generally aren't fun to play against for most people, makes for an online mode that just really sucks despite its potential.

Is it just Gamestop or are we seeing canceled pre-orders from other retail stores?

Cerberus has three heads though... I am confused on your friend's logic.

I mean Sony is also located in Japan, and they don't have as much issues with their online as Nintendo. There are also many gaming companies that are based in Japan that have fighting games with good rollback code.

They're a few steps, if not leaps, behind their competition.

Yeah, and Nintendo does not have to move into the same power level as them, but the online is a gaping wound that really has to be addressed.
Like, Ultimate and Mario Maker 2's online are not just bad, they are atrocious.

 

[Shroob]

I love Nintendo with a big asterisk next to love.


I feel like too many people are nostalgic or enraptured by them to realize that they're not your friend. They're a company out to make profit, and they see you as a customer, nothing more.


Stop thinking that big corporations are your friend.


McDonalds isn't your friend.

Coke isn't your friend.

Wal Mart isn't your friend.

So why is Nintendo your friend? Because they make things you like? Coke makes Diet Coke, but they're not my friend.
