Sorry dude, just the two games forever. Why is Nintendo so dumb???

Yeah yeah you're right they'll add more MP games or whatever

but right out of the gate it strikes me as a little ballsy since the online stuff for Nintendo has alway kind of felt like an afterthought up to this point

I mean if they're changing that then great and I hope it's worth it

I have to hope that Pikmin will get online multiplayer this time around. Bingo Battle is absolutely amazing, all 4 times I've had a decent opponent over to play it.

Yea the more I think about it paid online makes me feel like I can live without online Mario Kart, and also makes me less likely to want to buy Splatoon in general. It's a really bad idea.

Honestly miiverse is kind of messed up for older titles. My Nephew was playing Super Mario 3D world and a crude picture of a penis came up on the TV over the holidays. Kid is like 5 years old and it was very awkward. He just complained about the loading time and seemed to not notice while every one else in the room got really silent.

To properly moderate miiVerse is likely not cheap.

Because people really want something to look forward to for the Nintendo Switch and will convince themselves bad and/or incredibly shallow games are exciting

I sort of wonder why they're releasing it in March when, if they just waited another month or two, they'd have a much healthier lineup of launch games. Is it something to do with the Japanese fiscal calendar or something?

I'd rather pay someone to kick me literally in the dick than pay Nintendo Monthly for their lovely internet experience.

I was extremely excited for the Switch and this entire press conference killed all of it.

The end of Nintendo's Fiscal year is probably the end of March.

There is no competition; Zelda is good and Dark Souls is terrible PS2 looking slow garbage for half-dead drones who like brown and grey. (Bloodborne is the only good one)

Here's the cherry on top of the poo poo sunday. Zelda BOTW is going to end up being even worse than SS. Somehow. It's a low branch to get under, but Nintendo will find a way. Nintendo always finds a way to poo poo things up.

When the Trump Administration abolishes Net Neutrality nobody is going to be playing online games anyway. So it's really a moot point.

The online fee is actually going to go towards paying ISPs to prioritize Switch traffic, making the Nintendo Switch the de facto gaming device of Donald Trump's America

If they had Mario Maker good to go it'd be a different proposition since you're looking at 3+ major games supported, but right now they're banking that Splatoon is gonna lift up their online service more than the service drags splatoon down, and that's not a safe bet.
Mario Kart is fun online but not fun enough for a subscription; I already haven't played it in over a year and it's free now. So people basically have to ask if Splatoon is worth a subscription fee until another big online game comes out.
