Thats the thing, NO one here is jumping the gun. We have official confirmation from nintendo themselves. Its not rocket science. They have the info on their website as it stands. They have made it very clear and easy to understand that to do those other things related to online gameplay you will need the app which in turn means you will need a smartphone. Then in the interview with Reggie, he even goes as far as specify that its an elegant solution and even gave reasons (albeit stupid ones) for why they chose to go that route. You are making it sound like people are just pulling this outta there ass, but official press releases through a website is the most efficient way to share such information and nintendo has provided that. Now its one thing to say this is stupid and lets hope between now and say the fall when the app is available nintendo also bakes those features into the OS on the switch which will make this thing optional. Its another thing to just say no this can't be and everyone saying that it is is wrong simply becasue you also think it must be stupid, even when nintendo has so far made it clear thats what they are doing. As it stads, there is simply more evidence that points to this being how nintendo plans on doing this than anything else. |
Could be worse. They could have simply left all of this out like on the Wii U.
