Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo made a HUGE mistake when announcing their new paid online

Tagged games:

They forgot to mention that you can lend your physical Switch games to your friends as much as you want. That knowledge would cleanly overshadow the fact they are now charging for what used to be free.

 

Poor Nintendo always making mistakes.

They should have pulled a Sony and not mentioned it during the presentation at all and stealthily revealed it after as well in order to not face any negatives in the presentation. /s



I'm actually sort of surprised they didn't do that since they're always some years behind the rest of the world.



Though that's something, we're still talking about incredibly old games that most people have played already and that you can also play by using an emulator on their phone/tablet/psp, etc.

I don't think they're a big deal.

I don't think Nintendo fans are as easily manipulated as PS fans, so nope, no mistake. That's why you see so many PS fans telling stories about being former Nintendo fans while the other way around is very rare.

I hope thats à joke post, you never know with Nintendo fans :p

Nintendo: The video game world equivalent of the Church of Scientology.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I've seen a lot more criticism for what Nintendo is offering with their subscription than for the paid online itself.
