Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo's paid online service continues to disappoint

Forget about the free games, the actual service is horrible. I gave up playing Splatoon and Smash online due to the poor quality.

Blaster Master is awesome. Zelda ll is an insult; nobody wants that crap. The big problem here is starting with NES....again. SNES/GB would absolutely been a better start. Nintendo's current fanbase on average are not even old enough to appreciate NES games.

Can't be disappointed if you've never bothered with the offerings in the first place.

Can't be disappointed if you already hated paying for a once free service :^)

I'm making Microsoft pay for it. The bastards started this years ago.

Up until now Nintendo has been keeping us in the dark about which NES games would launch for the Switch's NES app in 2019, after what seemed like a consistent schedule for 2018. But they have just dropped the ball by announcing just 2 more games that will be added to the service for January, these being Blaster Master and Zelda II.

Fans are rightfully upset that not only are the number of games to expect each month has been halved only several months in, but this month's games are a snooze fest. Personally, I have never heard of Blaster Master, and have no interest in Zelda II since it is widely considered to be the worst Zelda game. If anything this just reinforces the mentality that Nintendo is putting in the bare minimum effort to improve the quality of their service. At least when the service began there was hope for it to get better, but it seems Nintendo is going in the wrong direction. 

You've got to try harder in your trolling than that.

It's not 1990s anymore, no one buys the "I'm too ignorant to know shit or have opinions of my own" act these days.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Maybe Nintendo should consider increasing the price to improve the service in general ?

The current price should be enough for a far better service. The NES games are literally the only thing you're paying for.

It's not even about the games from some of the complaints I hear about ... 

It's the basic connectivity functionality that they should get right ...

The thing with the online is that they didn't even try. It's not that they got actual servers that didn't improve the online enough - it's that they never got servers in the first place, essentially charging us for the same P2P online they've had for ages, which as far as I know costs little to no money to maintain. And exactly zero online functionalities were added (still can't even send people god damn messages). It's a whole new level of laziness.

Maybe increasing the price could motivate them to get shit done ?



It's a good thing i don't ever plan on playing online with the switch. I'd be pretty disappointed at that offering.



Wait.... It's p2p connection?
