Could you play your Vita online outside? Didn't know that. Certainly forgot how Sony got sued for it, and lost. I'm getting real tired of the "its 2017" argument, so much so that it is getting juvenile and the only outcome is people wanting to say that Nintendo is incompetent. It should be pretty obvious and logical why they did what they did. First, it is their companion app. They have been moving to mobile for some time now. Second, almost everyone has a smartphone in 2017. Unburdening the Switch itself (which is bound to wifi anyway) from those features should be pretty obvious. Lastly, other than voice chat being cumbersome, whats the big effing deal? Battery life? Having to pick up your phone? |
Nintendo is incompetent when it comes to this. Nothing makes sense. I'll give you the argument that it helps when people are outside. But than why isn't it built into the system too. So when people who don't use it outside, don't do this dumb shit. If the system can't handle any of this for whatever reason. Than guess what. Nintendo is incompetent in software/hardware design. This is all moot. If I'm gonna use my phone. I might as well just facetime/whatsapp/discord/skype/1 million other programs my friend and skip the middleman.
