If I had to compare the online experience. It's equivalent to the PS3's online infrastructure. Just a little bit worse than the PS3. A little bit! It's normally a smooth connection though.

There is huge lag problems. Every 4th or 5th match is a lag filled, barely play able match. It's horrible. Several of them I sat there for more than a minute just waiting for the match to start because the lag was barely letting the game move. Yes, the other 3 or 4 time typically only have maybe some small lag or none at all. But the 4th or 5th match is near unplayable with the amount of lag that happens. And not it's not my internet. Such a shame that they went back down after the great job they did with the Mario Kart 8 online.

It's P2P, if someone's connection is bad there will be issues. No dedicated servers.





Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Ha! That's funny. Mario Kart 8 online is literally unplayable for me (more than lag too), but SSBU is near perfect.

Note: this is coming from a South American country. And an incredibly sucky one at online connections.


Nintendo Network always disconnects after 5 minutes on my sytem, I cant play anything online. Doesnt matter in I use LAN or WiFi. Its strange because I had absolutely no problems in my first 6 or so months. Im in Southern Africa and I have no idea how Nintendos servers are set up, I dont have this problem with any game on PC.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I get the occasional match like that. Usually what happens is that it invisibly boots the "offending" player and then the match proceeds smoothly. At least once i recall that it booted all three players, because my opponents all suddenly played exactly like the CPU, and none remained in the lobby when i emerged.

It was a For Glory match, too

They're working on it.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

That's literally what happens in Mario Kart 8 for me.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I think the online is great. Only when I fight against somebody with a sliow interest is when I have problems.
