Man, if Nintendo didn ANYTHING right it was not gating online behind a paywall. I blame Microsoft, the 360 started this bullshit.
Gabriel Murphy
You have to pay to use the nintendo app on your phone to talk with your friends /gamebuddies
Adrian Brooks
I blame the faggots who paid for Live back in the day. They all directly funded ruining video games.
Adam Brown
BUT DON'T YOU KNOW? IT'S OKAY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT YOU KEK!
Luke Flores
>Voice Chat App Are we to assume that they're talking about an app for your phone rather than for the console?
Because a voice chat app will be very useful to have on my cell phone, a device otherwise incapable of transmitting audio data across large distances.
Jackson Taylor
Might as well fucking use Discord or kik at that fucking point.
Andrew Smith
but if you pay you get a free nes OR snes game, for an entire month sounds like a steal, if i do say so myself (i say so)
Daniel Perry
Sweet Jesus, parental controls! Nintendo truly is the company for the modern gaming audience
Joshua Bailey
it's finally over, pc wins!
Brody Fisher
>paid online
When will this meme end? Every time I look at console gaming with interest they pull shit like this and then it's back to pc for me.
Justin Russell
>online gameplay limited trial Well, fuck you too, Nintendo.
Literally my only complaint about Switch.
Literally the deal breaker.
Back to PC gaming.
William Williams
Well, maybe it's for the switch system? There were rumors about some sort of android integration. Not that they hold any weight, and we haven't seen the OS at all... but... I dunno, I dunno what they're thinking anymore. Switch is starting to sound like that really funny joke you had in your head, but when you try to tell your friends, you stumble getting it out and forget parts, and they look at you like you're an idiot.
Joshua Bell
glad paid online is finally bad now that nintendo does it
Jace Phillips
It's mainly because when Nintendo does it, its the worse iteration you could possibly imagine.
Henry Jackson
I don't ever fucking recall anyone saying it was good, it's just that free online was one of the few things Nintendo did right and now that's fucking gone.
Landon Robinson
It's always been bad. What are you talking about? And now literally every console uses it with no reason to stop because you know people will pay to play Mario Kart and Splatoon online.
what could possibly be the games they will be giving each month? it's not like they have a pile of 2 year old AAA games, last gen ports or even indie games to grab from do they really plan on giving us games as old as NES games for free?
Leo Morales
I'm not getting why this is funny. Maybe now things can finally stop being gutted for da keedz
Where's the joke?
Jeremiah Ramirez
>WAAAAAHHHH THE SWITCH IS NOT FOR CHILDREN; ITS NOT A TOY WAAAAAAHHH >LITERALLY gets an app for underage liddies so their parents can stop from playing baddie games with guns El Oh El
David Thomas
Oh. so you know, like all the other consoles + PCs, yeah.
James Thomas
how long until steam becomes a subscription service?
gabe is not gonna sit on the side and see all this free money being throw at other people and not get a twinkle in his eye
Nathaniel Nelson
And TV's and every cable company. I honestly don't get what kind of joke they're trying to get across.
Thomas Moore
My television has parental controls. Is my television for kids? My router has parental conrols, is my router for kiddy internet?
Fuck off.
Brandon Barnes
>implying it's only for kids >acknowledging there are things on it that aren't appropriate for kids If I didn't already realize you were shitposting for (you)'s, I'd wonder how low your IQ was right now.
Joseph Mitchell
It'd be an unnecessary source of controversy, considering the fuckloads they make from the steam store and community market.
What'll likely happen is Valve will "coincidentally" have some premium optional thing in development that they'll charge subscription.
Owen Myers
It will never happen, and Valve would be stupid to try. Right now there is no reason any of their competition could ever seriously take over the market, but as soon as one becomes subscription and one is free, Steam is dead.
The closest thing you'll ever get is what we already have in things like Humble Monthly and Origin Access.
Nathaniel Johnson
Maybe because they are advertising front and centre something completely mundane and included in every fucking electronics device as a benefit because they don't have anything worthwhile for their online service.
Or they know Nintendo fans are manchilderen that still live with their parents so they need mommy to put in the code to play devils third.
Noah Ramirez
I wouldn't assume, because "app" just means application and isn't a platform specific work, every download site use it now, "program" or "executable' was too trigering for the literal plebe apparently.
Daniel Walker
You are underaged, no other reason to be this stupid.
Isaac Russell
>I wouldn't assume We aren't assuming. They specifically said using a cell phone app.
Adrian Stewart
>Front and Centre
Hardly
Kayden Garcia
NEED A SMARTPHONE TO TALK TO PEOPLE THROUGH THE SWITCH
Lincoln Allen
>nintendo gives you LITERALLY FREE GAMES every month with a cheap subscription >people complain At least stop pretending that you aren't sony/ms fanboys hating on nintendo no matter what they do.
Jack Lee
>cheap ?
Chase Hill
When console user pay for online does the internet come with it, or do they still have to pay for internet AND access to their own console titles?
Tyler Thompson
>Get datamined by Discord or Kike The less companies that have my porn searching habits the better.
This is still a shit deal.
Isaiah Cooper
>have to pay nintendo for the right to use their skype ripoff on your phone >people defending this
Eli Diaz
i think nintendo should also provide a smartphone at this point
The are making a big deal about it because they have nothing else to show.
Colton Reed
>parental controls >implying any 10 year old kid in this virtual age we live in doesn't fap hard everyday to MILF porn on xhamster or enjoy the new ISIS execution videos on Liveleak
Nolan Cruz
So basically you admitted that you watch CP? Otherwise you wouldn't care about who knows about your porn habits.
Sebastian Green
Yes, that's literally what they plan to do. "free" NES/SNES games.
Brayden Jones
The video is adorable, though
Wyatt Wood
But I don't have a smart phone, man the world keeps wanting me to get a smart phone. I'm 30 and happy with my flip phone :(
Thomas Mitchell
>LITERALLY FREE GAMES You seemed to have missed the part where they only give you the game for a month
Hunter Walker
>Exclusive deals >Instead of the garbo 10% eShop sales they have, you'll now get 15% off!
Anthony Roberts
No they are free to grab for a month. Like Xbox and PSN. If you miss them, they are gone.
Jayden Jackson
It literally says they are free to play for a month. You have to give them back at the end of the moth
Tyler Carter
Jokes on you, a single game from the Golden Era of Nintendo is worth 5 games today. So who's the idiot now?
Gabriel Stewart
Yes. THE FREE GAME IS AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD FOR A MONTH THAN IT'S GONE
JUST LIKE THE OTHER TWO SERVICES
The shit part is that it's 20 year ROMs
Ian Hill
It's probably an attempt to communicate shit to the luddites, although I don't know why they did it this way.
John Morales
The thing people aren't noticing is that the info page also says most of these things won't even be ready for launch (which is probably why free trial for paid online)
was the switch rushed?
Connor Cruz
No, you moron. Free to play for a month means that it is not free after the month is over.
Adam Lee
>still have access to Nintendo shop Literally the only thing I was worried about, because I don't a give shit about multiplayer. Nice to hear I can still have access to it.
>LITERALLY FREE GAMES Boy, I can't wait for my "free" monthly shovelware!
Luis Perry
>tfw steam will also introduce paid online in your lifetime what will you do?
Parker Gonzalez
Nigga did you even read the site? Here let me copy and paste it to you with a link.
Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.
That basically says, that a new game will be added each month, and you have to download it each month. JUST LIKE PSN. IF YOU DON'T DOWNLOAD IT WHEN IT'S FREE ITS TOO LATE
Angel Ward
those games are already free
Jaxson Smith
>Subscribers will get to play a game for free for a month
How do you not get this? If there wasn't a time restriction, they would not say "for a month". They would say once a month
Grayson Cook
But Live been here since 2002, it was even in PC
Leo Murphy
>download and PLAY [..] FOR A MONTH
Adam Gomez
You seem to be confused by the brackets and abreviations my friend. Let me simplify.
"Subscribers will get to download and play a (NES) or (Super NES) game for free for a month."
So you got a month to download it.
Owen Allen
If you want to play a single game for more than a month you're literally autistic. For 99.999999% of the people it doesn't change anything since you will finish the game in a few days anyways.
Ryan Edwards
Yes. PLAY as in, you can DOWNLOAD IT TO FUCKING PLAY IT.
I swear it's like you guys can't comprehend basic English.
Adrian Rodriguez
I think steam always leaves it to developers for this. But if they ever did PC players know their shit and can come up with free solutions.
Robert Lee
well, PS and XBox have parental controls too
Colton Baker
>play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month. >play a [...] for free for a month. >for a month.
better being autistic than having ADHD
Michael Thompson
Are you pretending to be retarded? It doesn't say you keep the game anywhere on the page. The "FOR A MONTH" part implies that the there is a time restriction on playing the game.
Christian Reyes
>for a month Same restriction as PSN. If you aren't subscribed and you don't download a game, you'll never get it free again
Dylan Hughes
Yes, you can download and play it. For a month. And not "download for a month, and play it indefinitely".
John Adams
it's not that expensive guys...
Jacob Sanders
It doesn't say it gets removed at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure there would be a nice fat * at the end like the other statements if it was.
I think you guys are just plain retarded, but we'll know shortly because if you idiots are confused I can only imagine how idiotic kotaku is about it.
Cameron Watson
PSN lets me play the games indefinitely while subscribed. This service literally says that you can play for a month
Ryder Foster
>PSN >Download game x at one month >stop subscription >renew subscription months later >can still play game x as long as subscribed
Switch implies that you can only play it at that month only
Camden Reyes
...
Charles Lee
No. It says you have a month to download and play them. It doesn't mention anything about your downloaded games expiring.
Ethan White
>It says you have a month to download and play them >It says you have a month to play them Yeah, that's right. You people don't seem to understand how the words "and" and "for" work.
Nicholas Russell
Where does it imply that user? I think you can't read
Henry Morales
>paying for the worst online service imaginable >getting a shitty ancient game with it for u can emulate for free for only a month then its replaced by another shitty old game As a Ninendrone myself, I cannot defend this. ATLEAST let us keep the games we get aslong as out subscription keep going like with psplus. Even then It's a shitty deal.
Aaron Johnson
>You have a month to download the game >and you can play it
Caleb Parker
>play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month. >play (...) for free for a month.
Why would Nintendo not make it clear from the get go about this shit? I guess it's okay for Nintendo for not being clear about their paid online service
Jordan Phillips
You know what? FUCK YOU I went to the japanese site just to prove how idiotic you all are.
Jaxon Kelly
>google translate This is getting pathetic
Easton Phillips
You know Nintendo are just going to dump a bunch of shitty NES games for their monthly game downloads. Even if it's something good, you've probably bought it 3 times over already.
Wyatt Wilson
It's ok it's totaly ok when nintendo does it 100% ok ok right? ok
Nathaniel Morales
>on a monthy basis That didn't help you at all
Owen Moore
Well apparently you're all too stupid to read plain english, so maybe you fucking weeabos will understand engrish
Dominic Powell
What are the chances Nintendo would have never done this if PSN never went to a paid subscription.
Christopher Morgan
>Nintendrone getting triggered >desperately uses Google translate
I guess it's true that it's okay when Nintendo does it.
Parker Gutierrez
>without restrictions on a monthly basis
Owen Peterson
You mean, if micro$oft never did Xbox Live?
Lincoln Martin
Well it all started with XBL. Sony and Ninty are following a lucrative trend
Carson Morales
>google translate That means for free, not without restrictions
Carter Morgan
Nobody actually owns an xbone.
Cooper Edwards
I can do this all day
Luis Anderson
>オンラインプレイ I'm amused this is a word.
Cameron Gutierrez
I hope it's cheap monthly, as it is I feel bad I have to pay for PSN.
