I doubt I'll pay for this Nintendo one. I don't play FPS, which constitute 90% of online games. And multiplayer games I tend to enjoy with people in the room versus online, so ain't too tempted to pay. We'll see. Is Mario Kart and Smash enough to make me want to pay online? Doubtful, or at least for long. I'm mostly an offline single player gamer, or else party gamer. Neither requires internet. I'm actually more excited for gaming than ever since last night. Been wanting so long for handheld and home to clash. The Wii U was not what I wanted. This looks to be. Kind of makes me think of the typical trend in electronics. Someone does something first and it sucks, and someone else comes out with a better version later. Like look at Apple. They rarely ever come out with things first, but many times people only remember them for "inventing" it, because they just made it "work". Feels like that is what happened here with Switch. Funny thing though is, Nintendo seems to be in it's own market. They sort of come out with it first with Wii U, and finally get it right with Switch. (you could argue the Shield, but that just again proves my point. It didn't click) |
So at some point you have to realize you're a very small minority. Playing games online is what the vast majority of gamers do and that's been the direction of games in the past 15 years. I'm glad you're able to have fun despite that, but I wouldn't know how what to do without all the great times that've had on Live and PSN.
