I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
When I boot up Splatoon 2 and hear the squids talk about maps, I get a feeling of dread and despair, and every time I grab my Nintendo Labo brand knife and contemplate ending it all, only for images of Bowsette to pop up in my mind to remind me that life is still worth living.

Then they stop talking and I have fun playing Splatoon 2.

Anyway I think Nintendo should compensate me for my emotional trauma by adding more NES games.

Same reason splatoon hits you with a mandatory cutscene telling you the maps.
I had wondered if that cutscene was there to disguise a background download of the minor update and/or a loading screen.

I honestly don't give a gently caress what the maps are. Am I supposed to change loadout to be better at different maps?

Probably.

Ask me if I give a gently caress

There's squid kids walking around with horns and masks, and Splat-oween hasn't started yet. What gives?
There's a notification in the S2 news channel, which tells you to start the game via the link in it to get the seasonal items.

important to bear in mind that a 30 second delay might not seem significant when you're gearing up for a game of overwatch but each round of splatoon is only about 90 seconds long so it's a bit more annoying

It would make sense if it was, but it isnt since it can occur after loading. Its just a mandatory “slam A to resume having fun” cutscene.

It’s a 30 second delay on an hour timer

Every person demanding to play Mario Party online should be forced by Nintendo to play a random online Mario party match with the other players all being ten years old. I’m telling you now your online Mario Party wish is a monkey’s paw wish cause you’d never finish a game from rage quits or people would wander off during a round as they’re losing and you’d have people purposely loving up mini games it they are on the same team as the person in the lead

Posters who condescendingly tell you that you totally didn't even want to play online with lovely racist kids anyways never address this point. Seriously, the conversation just dies as soon as someone makes this observation.

Even if you did want to play with lovely racist kids, that's really not a lot to ask for from a full priced party game in 2018.

Yeah, after watching release footage from the game and hearing great word of mouth I would have plunked down the cash for SMP and a year of Nintendo Online if I could play with my friends who are on the other side of the country now. Instead I'm trying to work Parsec on my computer so we can all try and play Mario Party 3 together.

No it doesn't. It died because it's tiresome to explain that Nintendo doesn't want the enormous headache of troubleshooting peoples' equipment, fielding parental complaints about voice chat, and building any kind of infrastructure for an edge-case use that can easily be done by multiple other devices you probably have in the room with you in 2018


They decided the cost/benefit wasn't in their favor. They might be wrong but I don't see people not buying a Switch over it

And I've said this before but we're consumers. We don't have to care about why a company is skimping out on real basic poo poo.

The only thing that matters is the end product and "what does $60 get me here?"

Well this is a discussion board so you are essentially saying one post of THIS SUCKS and then gas the thread because we don't have a press release from Nintendo about their reasoning.

I think it is incontrovertibly obvious that they decided not to do it based on cost/benefit because they are a big successful company, they obviously considered it, and they didn't do it. Admittedly talking about what the costs and benefits would be is conjecture but we didn't all fall off the turnip truck last night and we can probably guess pretty well.

I did Mario Kart 8 Deluxe party chat the other night, and it was just a bunch of people going "So, uh... who's gonna get Smash. Yeah, can you believe X is in it? It's going to be sweet" Or "Paying $20 for online is so lame when it used to be free"

These are not my people....
