After last night I think I am Quitting Gaming forever

Ka-pi96 said: nah, they`ll just be a lot of hypocrites around

I kept reading comments like "thank god there is one company left that doesn't do DLC or ask gamers to pay for internet that they already pay. It shows that it cares about games, not just money". I wonder how such people truly feel about it now. Maybe they don't want to admit it to others or to themselves, but deep down they must be pissed.

Unless their love for their favourite company clouds their judgement that much. 

Anyway, I guess we may never know.

I dont get it, why be ok with it when Sony and Microsoft do it, either be upset with all 3 or none. People complained with the Wii U's online even though it was free they're just getting what they wished for, dont expect a good online service on a console unless your willing to pay a small fee each month/year. Besides getting free vitural console games each month with new online connectivity built in sounds like a good deal to me! I think its just going to take a bit of time for people to adjust. 

I see, Nintendo is exposing the casuals once again.

I wont lie, payed online sucks. I didn't have it on my Sony consoles and never missed it, but with Nintendo consoles i have pretty consistently actually used the online. Smash, Mario Kart, Mario Maker and Pokken really loose at least a third of their value once you take away online. Heck Splatoon becomes unplayable.

I will have to see pricing and pay model (how flexible is it? Can I buy relatively inexpensive short term passes? How expensive is the long term subscribtion?) to make a final call, but a lot of Nintendos games rely more on online than people realize.

edit: I should probably mention that I never had much of a problem with Nintendos free online, despite the occasional disconnect in Splatoon, wich really didn't bother me too much. I get that people hope for a more stable connection out of this, but I'm fine with the way it is.

I'm afraid you're missing the point. I'm not arguing that ps/ninty/xb fans should or shouldn't be upset with paying for online multiplayer.

I'm specifically asking how the people who held Nintendo so high as different than Ms and Sony (who were called "greedy", among other things), feel now that their favourite company is doing the same.

Also, keep in mind that not all online services are the same. We don't know how good N's may be, but we do know that the games that Sony has been offering lately have been critised to death and that MS has been offering better games. Same when Sony first announced that online multiplayer will be behind paywall (a lot of people criticised Sony and switched to PC).

I already see some Nintendo fans upset about and it's nice to see that they're sticking to their principles.

I understand that, however I feel like in the long run Nintendo's paid online is going to mean more upsides than down. I think it is just a matter of adjusting but time will tell. If Nintendo can improve the Online with Switch, give you free VC games and be at an afforadble price (perhaps slightly cheaper than Sony and Microsofts) it'll help the Switch succeed in one of the factors the Wii U failed.

I'm with all what you said. The importance of local multiplayer. The only games online matter for me on Nintendo are Splatoon, MK and Smash Bros. All I can play on my WiiU. So no big problem.

I'll get Switch for Xenoblade 2, Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem Warriors. Maybe Dragon Quest and that project octopants or whatever. I hope very much for Monster Hunter. This is the game that would make the Switch for me very desirable.

Well said. I was even in the minority that subbed to ps plus from the very start on ps3 for the games! 

But according to your username u like JRPGS and the Switch had some good JRPGs to show and we know fire emblem, polemon etc will come to it.
