This is pretty sad. Better get petitions for Sony and Xbox as well, because they also delete your cloud saves as space is needed when your sub lapses, and yet cost three times as much.

I want you to help yourselfs and everyone with a Nintendo Switch to take back what have always been ours. In the petition I explain with more detail why I'm asking you to NOT PAY for the Nintendo Switch Online System on September 18th. And if you don't agree with me, that's fine. But if you are with me on this one, please spread this petition everywhere you can. Thank you. |
Late. The date to do so was with the 360. The online payment is already part of the industry.

XBox does not require XBL to use cloud saves, so no they do not.
PS4 has a 6 month grace period before they delete it. Does not make it right, but Nintendo wants to do it as soon as it lapses.

I still think they should have kept the online portion of the service free and provided a more robust subscription service for a monthly / annual fee that includes all the other stuff plus a full Netflix-style "Virtual Console" catalog of classic games to chose from, not just a handful of NES games with a drip drop stream of releases afterwards. I know it's only $20/yr, but the fact that Nintendo is now charging for the same bare-bones online service that they've been providing free for years now just makes it seem that much more of a cheap cash grab. |
@bold: Maybe Splatoon, but I think labeling Mario Kart and Smash useless without line is a bit much. Those are two of the best local multiplayer series of all time.
I do like your idea for a Netflix-style Virtual Console, although I'd like it modeled after GamePass, where you can buy individual titles at a discount if you like them enough to own.

I think that petitions from change.org, as well a facebook petitions played a role in getting Yakuza 5 released in the west.

They cost 3 times as much, but are more than 3 times better. I did the science work using a series of models and equations, and it's true.

No, you can't backup locally. All save files are stored on the system itself and it's not possible to copy data to a micro sd card |
Wow serious? I haven't even tried yet as I haven't run out of space. I assumed it would like the Wii U

Yes, he's serious. If you value the ability to backup save data, on the Switch, it's paywall or burst. And from what I can remember, there will be no option to do the server backup manually. It does it when it feels like it. And not all games support server saves. The whole save backup situation on the Swich is pretty bad. At least it actually exists now though. It's a good first step.

I'll sign it when MS and Sony cancel theirs.

I wasn't calling you intentionally ignorant, I was responding to your comment from the previous post which I thought was implying that I was intentionally ignorant, to which I was denying. Again, I was never calling you ignorant, but was responding to this line from your previous post, which felt insulting to me, "It seems to me like you are just purposefully being ignorant to try and have a blissful result. " The Wii U was definitely better than the Switch but didn't give access to free games with new multiplayer capabilities or cloud saves. I never called you intentionally ignorant nor did I insult you. You called me ignorant, on the other hand. Again, I was responding to the line about how you said I was being "purposefully ignorant." I was denying that saying no one can be that, because to be ignorant means you are unaware (I'm using the word you here in a general sense), and no one can be intentionally unaware. I have a feeling there is some communication errors going on here. |
I honestly have no interest at all in discussing this thing. What I DID have an interest in discussing was the, you know, paid online.
