Whyd the customer have to suffer when it's nintendo who's not capable of coding a decent app? Not every player is as masochist as some ppl here

 

And web browser is pretty damn essential. How are you gon connect to public wifi without web browser? Yknw many public wifi requires you to login thru web browser right? It's even more ironic when nintendo keeps advertising it as a play-wherever-you-want device (hint: splatoon2)

Public wifi? Yeah, do your fellow gamers a favor and don't try to play Monster Hunter over Taco Bell wifi. Jesus, online multiplayer games like Splatoon and Mario Kart require solid connections. There is a reason whenever they advertise playing anywhere they either showcase single-player games or local multiplayer.

"Suffer" is a pretty strong word for not having an app that you pay $50-60 yearly for on other consoles that can easily be replaced by using your phone. Christ. A clunky work-around for a non-essential feature is not a personal insult to players.

The question at hand is what makes something a video game console versus what is a gimmick. Motion controls contribute unique gameplay possibilities. Party chat is something you can do with your phone at any time that would siphon resources away from the games.

I've made my own judgement here, you're entitled to yours.
