Here we go. The end of all free online play on consoles is happening next month. Thanks Microsoft.
I hope they add Snes, N64 and GC-titles to that service. A couple of half assed Nes-games won't do the trick.

Yeah, screw Microsoft for implementing online payment on PS4 and Switch.

The difference between the companies is Microsoft is the only who can require it, as it's the only stable console network.
This. Online was terrible anf laggy. Its 2018 , Nintendo, i better not lag.I think we will have to wait for Smash Ultimate to release to see whether they finally got a worthwile online experience or not. The online was always my biggest issue with any of the previous Smash games as I could never really practice online. If they nail it this time I am willing to give them 2 Dollars a month.
You need to pay because both competitors also charge. All of these online paywall subscriptions are free profit for the platform holders and Nintendo isn't going to say no to free money.I'm not going to agrue and be all angry, but I'd like to just ask just in case.
Why did Nintendo now require us all peoples to pay for online subscription? I can't seem to find any article explaining it thoroughly, even when searching. And if I had a choice to be angry at Nintendo or Microsoft, I'd be very angry at Microsoft - it's that's company's fault that Nintendo now wants us to pay for Online.
There's better features, not just with being able to play online, but still...
Nope sorry you will have to go to ROM si...... Uhh well I guess you can watch them on Youtube (until Nintendo shuts those down too).I hope they add Snes, N64 and GC-titles to that service. A couple of half assed Nes-games won't do the trick.

If Xbox 360 hadn't done as well as it did, MS would have had to stop charging money and there would be no online fee on PS4 or Switch.
The 360/PS3 gen is the first time the Xbox got competition. Most PS2s didn't even have an Ethernet port. Embracing the PS3 was the only chance for free online play to survive.You mean the original Xbox.
Yes. You can still play for free this month but not all of next month.So...if I wanted to pick up MH on the Switch this month, will that require this to play online?

I sincerely believe Dark Souls was being delayed because of this. They already showed it and it was definitely ready with blightown running like a charm.
As far as I know they have almost nothing top tier besides Mario Tennis (Somewhat old already) to encourage online on launch day and Smash is far away. Dark Souls is most definitely an online seller game for the dreaded online paywall launch day.
They will surely put the new Monster Hunter game in the spotlight too, since it releases at the end of August. Warframe is also headed to Switch, albeit there is no release date as of yet, but I think it will be ready to go in the near future when the service launch.
Personally I'll wait for impressions on how well smash works online. If it's good I might pay, if it's like on WiiU then fuck no.
Cloud saves shouldn't be locked behind a paywall, they should be free and unlimited for every user imo. In general: the more saves a user has, the games a user has bought, the more licensing fees the platform owner has received from the user.They need to add more features than just cloud saves.

Oh I know. I have no expectation for it to be any better than on WiiU.Oh man, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Considering you can save shit to your 3DS it is pretty much just greed at this point. Hell I can backup my saves on my Vita...Or 360 :/I don't really have a problem with them charging for cloud saves, but fuck them for not having any alternatives (ie local saves). It's shameful that you can't back up your own saves to the SD card so they can be used in another console in the event that yours breaks - at least without resorting to running homebrew applications.
It just makes their cloud saves "feature" feel like an extortion fee.

There’s going to be lag just because most Switch users are on WiFi since the dock doesn’t have Ethernet (and I imagine few bother with the adapter) and a lot of people play portably anyway.
I’m glad I can back up my saves finally. I’d hate to lose 130hrs in Xenoblade. I’m not happy I am paying $20 to back up saves.
Well MS lets you play their games on pc for free, so technically MS is the only one still offering free online service. Amirite amirite?!Here we go. The end of all free online play on consoles is happening next month. Thanks Microsoft.

I'm sorry, what? Microsoft is the only stable console network? I have had zero issues playing on my Switch or PS4, some goes with friends and family.
