bushisms.txt posted:That's not even the worst of it, apparently the nes joycons are locked behind the subwall, as in they ONLY work with the online vc app. They've learned nothing since the WiiU GC controller I see. You couldn't use that with anything but Smash U and it wouldn't surprised me if the Switch one is the same (or even just literally the same controller). I'm really happy with my nice 8bitdo super famicon controller though, they do 4 button NES style controllers too if someone was dead set on using something that looked like one of those old monsters.

Improbable Lobster posted:Y'all know that cloud saves are just a backup of the saves already on your console right? gently caress you, if they let me upload my saves to the cloud I will delete my save every time I stop playing my Switch because it's in the Cloud and if I let my subscription lapse at the same instant I hurl my Switch into the darkest depths of the ocean and lose my saves because of it, then it's Nintendo's fault for not making a better $20/year subscription service!!!

MZ posted:I don't think the Switch player base is even close to being in the billions yet but welcome to capitalism. Switch is currently at 20 million units and rising. If 10% buy a year subscription, that's $40 million right off the bat. That's only going to go up.

The WiiU GC adapter already works with the Switch, and works at the system level so it's compatible with all games provided the button mapping makes sense. The Switch GC adapter is probably the same unit with a different logo printed on it.

You can already use Smash GameCube controllers on it if you have the adapter (which is almost certainly the same) and they work in other games

RME posted:also, consider plenty of other cloud services that are aimed at personal consumer use have some kind of retention on lapsing There is a huge difference between these services. Worst case scenario for Google Drive or Dropbox deleting your data is you potentially lose important files for your business for paying clients, completely loving you over and putting you in legal jeopardy. Worst case scenario for Switch... maybe you lose your Zelda save and you have to start the game over again? Seriously. the edge case in this situation is that their subscription ends Sept 18th 2019, their credit card gets lost or compromised on the same day and the subscription service cannot renew, and then they lose or damage their switch on Sept 19th before they can update their credit card information. And then absolutely worst case scenario is you have to start a game over again. Like... it's such an odd and hypothetical situation to be in that I cannot even fathom why people are so worried about it happening to them, other than to just bitch and moan about it

Astro7x posted:There is a huge difference between these services. Well said! Although I think to err on the side of caution I'm going to open a new credit card exclusively for Nintendi Online and make sure it's expiration date is 6 months from the end of my current Nintendo Online sub. That way I'll have six months to correct any new CC issues to preserve my video game saves that I'll likely never load again.

Andrast posted:Yeah people have never complainend about microsoft and sony making you pay for online It's not just that though... Everyone knew from the start that there was going to be Nintendo Online. It was supposed to be like a 3 month free trial when Splatoon launched, and then launch sometime in fall of last year. This was known well before anyone even purchased a Switch. It got delayed a year, and now people are acting like the service was always free and they are taking it away and giving you "literally nothing in return". I would probably balk at it more if they were offering the same service for $60, but $20 is an appropriate price for what they are offering us, IMO

If my ability to read this thread was subscription based I'd let my sub lapse for a few weeks until we talk about fun video games again. In an effort to resume video game chat: Who's playing monhun? What weapons are you enjoying and why are your enjoying them? I'll start. I just opened up village 5 star quests and I'm really enjoyinf sword and shield because I have one that paralyzes monsters. Combine that with stamina drain oil and aerial style and you can really dish out the damage and keep monsters from.running around too much. I'm trying to get into HH but I'm crippled by indecision, which horn should I use?!

Pretty surprised the membership doesn't come with some bonuses for their mobile games. Like for every month you're subscribed you get whatever a $1 IAP gets you in the game of your choice.

CharlestheHammer posted:I think Nintendo knows very few people still care about NES games. They probably got mixed messages from all those NES Minis flying off shelves and the demands for another wave of them to be produced. I mean the only reason it was so crazy is that they made SO FEW, but I don't think they're taking that into account.

You couldn't use that with anything but Smash U and it wouldn't surprised me if the Switch one is the same (or even just literally the same controller). The WiiU wasn't intended to have a four-port hub for a ten-year-old console controller jammed in via USB, so most games literally cant see them. The Gamecube controller also lacks an LZ-equivalent button and a select button, so it'd be pointless anyway. The Switch version does indeed use the exact same controller hub because it just uses USB ports. The NES controllers only being compatible with NES games is the same issue - they lack a thumbstick and key buttons that most games utilize, so it's no surprise they're saying they don't work with current releases. Any compatibility achieved needs to be done by the individual developers. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 14, 2018 |

Anyone want to speculate what the Special Bonus to online may be? Obvious answer is free (bad) games or discounts. I'm just hoping for more Nintendo Power or MyNintendo style tchotchkes, pointless but kind of cool things.

Not free or discounted stuff, rather, it's stuff you can buy only if you're a member. The NES controllers for example are only available to members.
