Single player games would require a subscription...

I swear if the casual console gamers screw us again I'll rage forever! I already complain enough about how bad it is that you have to pay to play online on consoles. It was already insane!

Anyway it seems "too" stupid and crazy I have my doubts this will be true.

The good news a "stream gameing" service box could be cheap... like 100$ cheap.

 

The bad news, the subscription costs will go way up, to deal with server costs going that way (we are talking over 100$/year).

Also compressed image quality (which will hold back 4k gameing), compressed audio sounds (worse quality than now), and many times higher input lag.

Some places dont have the net to support such a thing (low speed, data caps, to far from host servers), for them nintendo would just become a "non viable".

This would probably be a pro for me considering i buy like 4 wii u and 2 3ds games a year. So only spending about A$100 a year for games would be pretty great.
