Forums - Nintendo - Eurogamer - Nintendo's new online service looks like it could be every bit as bad as you feared

If ordering chips ever becomes a thing over here in Finland, I think I might die.

I'll direct you to this thread for reference as to why I said that: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=230490&page=1

Also, I didn't mention ordering chips. Goodness Ka-pi!

You're a gamer though aren't you? Why would you not order chips to be delivered direct to you while you continue gaming?

Your confusing Nintendo gamers with Xbox gamers who eat Doritos and drink Mountain Dew.

Also, voice chat functionality aside, if you try to disable Push Notifications it sends you to the Android App settings. Doesn't even work from the app natively.
Did the programmers not take Android 101?

Android users don't buy consoles. Consoles and console games aren't free.

 

 

Sorry, bad joke :P



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

And Nintendo expects to charge people for their online services????

They should put you on their board of directors to keep them sensible. 

Thank you, I think that as well I may not know a lot about electronics, but I sure as hell know how to think systems.

I need an application form.

Most probably the Switch cant do multitasking like the PS3/X360.  Nintendo is still living in the Gamecube era.  That is why the Switch cant run the game and the social app at the same time.

It certainly has the hardware to multitask.  The operating system is derived from FreeBSD, which most certainly can multitask.

Multitasking is a shit excuse when even the original Xbox could multitask. (Playing back MP3's while gaming.)

Ok, I finally tried the app and it's NOT AS BAD as Eurogamer seems to make out of it. It's actually quite simple to manage it.

When you put it on speaker and play in your room it works fine. But the app could have being put on the console itself and it would have worked. But by the design of it I feel like right now it is a temporary solution for Nintendo and it might become optional going into 2018 when the real online services launch. It does feel like it.

LMAO

Wth is this? Are we really in 2017?

Oh my god, that's just terrible. Luckily, almost everyone seems to have realized this and have stopped defending this nonsense. Nintendo + online keeps on being a disaster, they just refuse to follow any form of norms, as if it's the most important thing in the world.
