Okay, briefly tried out Joker. Really fun from what I played. Final Smash really does look sick. Persona seems sorta limited.

Let's be honest, I downloaded a 24.4GB update for Overwatch yesterday for their new event. Sure, it wasn't immediately as it came out, but you don't hear about server issues for Microsoft or Sony, and the updates for their games are far larger. But that's because they actually do pretty well with their servers. Sure, Blizzard has to maintain their own servers. But at least it starts downloading.

When I was living with my parents, it took almost an hour to complete a 50 GB update one time, it was garbage. This has been OVER an hour, and it hasn't even started yet!

Yes, many people are trying to download this right now. That doesn't mean this is acceptable. I am usually very, very patient and don't mind this stuff because it does happen. But Nintendo has a history of bad online usually, and the fact that they are charging people for this and have tried to make it seem like a quality online service I am...unconvinced.

Nintendo is a leader of the videogame industry. This state of online is frankly unacceptable for a company of their caliber. Usually, in situations like these, I try to play devil's advocate or defend Nintendo, but when it comes to online, they're ****. They knew it was coming. They have the money to build a decent online infrastructure. But they refuse to improve.

I just do not understand Nintendo's logic here. They had a full day to prepare this update after it was known to the public, even longer since they had to decide a date and time internally.

Very incompetent online handling as usual.

The new Beneath the Mask arrangement is absolutely amazing

Pretty much the level of quality you'd expect from the guys who did the Gang-Plank Galleon remix

So...


Does the Velvet Room song alternate Mementos designs, or is it locked to the P3 version?


It was white in the Direct for some reason while the other 10 songs were color coded based on game.

While I'm a lot more calm now, yeah, this stinks. Nintendo's charging for this crud, there's no excuse anymore

I am tempted to just go play Hardcore instead of constantly wasting my energy to press the download button.
Still, I will continue restarting, downloading, etc.

22 minutes after the initial maintenance and still nothing.

**** you Nintendo.

This almost makes me want to see the game datamined.

If you'd gonna charge $20 bucks for an online service, make it functional please.

It could also be that a ton of people are craving that ultimate dlc, and there's just way more traffic than they expected.

But obviously with really good programming you could avoid stuff like that, maybe something that sifts and lets however hundreds at a time it could handle.

Ah forget it. I slept awful last night, I feel like garbage, I’m just gonna go to sleep and hopefully the service I paid for will allow me to enjoy the content I paid for tomorrow morning.

Thanks Nintendo, love you guys

Download started working for a bit and gave me a time of 26 minutes to download. Then it broke again.
So not only do I have to wait even longer for Nintendo to fix their screw up but it's going to take another half an hour after that to actually download.
I feel cheated.

Honestly Nintendo should completely restructure whatever department is in charge of the online. Get rid of the folks who clearly don't know what they're doing and bring in people who do.

Because frankly if anyone else was this incompetent they'd be fired on the spot.

I've been spamming the update button for almost an hour and a half now. Can't stop now since I've made it so far but I really wish Nintendo was more prepared for one of the biggest updates on one of the most popular games.

So in the meantime while Nintendo continues to be the laughing stock of the industry, may I implore you all on a majestic game from childhood's past called

The Simpsons: Hit & Run?

I just found out about the modding community, and man.

It. Is. Beautiful.

Nah, they could look at the sales data of the Fighter's Pass, Joker's Challenger Pack, and Smash Ultimate overall. They know exactly how many people bought him and even then there are other Smash players who just want their Stage Builder. There's no excuse tbh.

How does Minecraft on my PC update better than Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch, despite the fact that Minecraft updates can be huge?
