Why the Nintendo Online Service might be not as bad as you think.

If the best and most compelling aspect is a bunch of games that are almost 40 years old then it is a bad service.

The reality is that somehow Nintendo managed to make an online service that's a generation behind.... The Xbox 360. And they have the audacity to actually charge for it. Needing another device to handle basic functions like messaging is insane.

I don't mind the smart phone idea as they kind of tried to do the whole local multiplayer on the go with others. So chances are the Switch will not be connected to the internet.

It is the fact that you need a 10000000000 cords to do it what is off putting.

For home usage, they should still offer the ability to do it the traditional way via the Switch itself only.

Absolute nonsense. The PS Vita is portable and does online voice chat and messaging just fine natively.
