Don't forget the features the others simply don't have: MiiVerse and hand drawn PICTURE communication !

These alone far out weight anything the others have to offer.

I'd say you are in a minority with that belief. A very, very small minority ^^

Sure, hand drawn PICTURE communication is much better than always having up-to-date savegame-backups of all your console and handheld games...

... until you lose several hundred hours of game progress because your home console breaks or gets stolen or a game/application goes crazy on the flash memory or your handheld gets wet or lost/stolen or your handheld modules get lost...

I love the safety net of automatic cloud saves in case something goes wrong.



It took me one hour to connect to the eshop, system update and buy/download a small game on 2DS. (100 MB max)

It took me 3 hours to system update, buy/download infamous ss, tlouR, injustice and a few f2p+ all software updates (~80 GBs total) on ps4

My 3DS got wet and needed to be repaired. I didn't lose any save data nor did I have to pay for anything.

Besides that, not a single Nintendo console has broken on me.

Why on earth would you want Nintendo to invest in something as expensive as cloud for something as useless as that?

Because with the above, the miiverse would lose its all age suitability and millions of creeps would keep filling inboxes with penis pictures not to mention that every game I played on my PS3 had to have chat disabled when children were even in the room.  

Online on pse is nothing special but ps plus games are nice. Online multiplayer was always dropping for me to an embarrassing extent. Then Xbox seems to have to same issue. I've used them in both the U.S. and E.U. The nintendo online rarely drops me offline.


Im sorry but what? XD That seems ridiculous. In all my years of online gaming Ive never had a penis in my inbox.  I do get that Nintendo is aimed at a younger demographic and I whole-heartedly support them in everything they do, but there are certainly ways to prevent things like this from happening while still allowing some of the features it's missing.

So cloud save backups are useless because you got lucky and the microsd-card (download games) or game module (retail games) didn't get damaged together with your handheld?

Your games or handheld  or microsd-card can't get damaged or stolen or misplaced?

How would my sd card get damaged from a little bit of water on my 3DS?

I'm saying it's not worth the effort for something that isn't likely to occur. No ring of death with Nintendo consoles... 

Besides, I've finished all my 3DS games and don't care for the save data anymore. 



Some water damages are more than "a little bit of water". The included SD-card of my 3DS XL stopped working from one day to the next without incident... couldn't be reformatted either.

Luckily it was in the first weeks and I wanted to replace it with a 16gb card anyway, so no big loss. But there are countless possibilities how you could lose your save games, don't play dumb.

We have twitch streaming which is by far more popular than miiverse.
