Forums - Nintendo - Why can't Nintendo just make a normal online experience for the Switch??

Because Nintendo themselves are far from normal.

Honestly, Nintendo has done so much weird shit the past years to the point where stuff like this hardly fazes me.

I hope that one of these days we get an online ecosystem that would feel at home in 2006. Tis starting to get really embarrassing.

I just think its not ready.
On the bluetooth side, it needs to be able to connect to 8 joycons AND a headphone. Thats going to be a headache.
On the hardware side, can the switch handle voice chat without producing lag for the game?

Or they msy be just looking at japan where even most 7 year olds have a smartphone...

It ain't Nintendo if they don't intentionally make things hard for somebody for no reason

I will buy the switch when it's properly finished, should be around the end of 2018, early 2019

Nintendo is still good what they have been good in, making games.
As far as online, software or hardware goes I have lost a lot of faith.

The Switch is at least doing better in both their weaker departments but they still have a lot to work on for the future, espcially on software and online because Microsoft is really leading this department, funny, since they are concidered the worst in games its pretty opposites lands and sony falls in the middle of everything thats why they are the most loved.

Anyway I am sure it can ONLY get better :P and yes people should continue to complain/push them to do better

Its a free beta test period anyhow.

Switch OS seems miles ahead of wii U and 3ds at least so software is a go. They nailed it with hardware- just unfortunete than the X2 came out too late for it to use and the NAND shortage. All out of thier control.

To be fair they have a major disadvantage VS the competition cause ninty is NOT a tech giant... I still don't get HOW THE HELL sega nailed it on thier first (and only) try.
