Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Should advertise the fact that their Internet Connection is FREE!

I can't see why not that can't be a good selling point.



Around the Network

It would be worthwhile to advertise it if Nintendo Network were even close to being comparable to XBL and/or PSN, but it is not.

They need more than Miiverse, which I still don't see the big deal about it.

I think that free internet connection and full backward compatibility are great features that Nintendo should advertise.

I've enjoyed 7 years of free multiplayer on PS3 and the only reason I'm ok with paying for PS+ on PS4 is that I already became a member back in 2012 when Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands, Just Cause 2, Saints Row 2, Dead Space 2, etc. was added to the instant game collection.


I'm happy that you're happy about those games.  The most is meh at best, but of course that's my own opinion.


You are entitles to your opinion and that is great, but for everyone like you who thinks "meh", you have me, who paid $30 for Batman Arkham City and paid $60 for Borderlands 2, only to sell them to fund my PS4 purchase and then get them back thanks to PSN+.

Now I have tmy PS4 + Borderlands 2 and Batman on my PS3. Oh yeah, that same sub got me tons of free PS4 titles and plenty of Vita games.

 

Nintendo Network for $0 doesn't even compare. It really doesn't.

It doesn't even compare to PSN on PS3 thanks to the greater 3rd party support it gets.

They should, but they won't.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Around the Network

Now that Nintendo will have actually released an online game (Mario Kart 8), yes they should!



Nintendo has 300000 servers?



I'm with you. I'd probably have a PS4 by now if they didn't charge to play online multiplayer. That was one of the main reasons I sold my 360 and bought a PS3.

Nintendo has a big advantage in online connection compared to the competitors.

When 2 companies are charging me for a certain service and the other is giving it for free

I think that company is much more considerate towards me as a costumer.

Nintendo deserves a lot of credit for giving their costumers internet connection for free.


If Nintendo charged for their online services it would cause an internet meltdown.

Do you know why? Because what they offer is the barebones minimum for online console gaming. They are lightyears behind Live and PSN.
