Sup Forums is really a toxic place to try and discuss vidya. Just false opinions and blatant misinformation just to get a rise out of people.

then leave retard

Look, I want to believe you, but we're gonna need a source.

>state of the nintoddlers

Completely unneeded pay walls to basic services which only serve to suck funds out of their consumers, exploiting them. But hey, let's defend it!

why don't you go to reddit or something then

they're probably choking on Nintendo's dick right now, go join them

>>The Switch's online is only $25 for a year
>>The console comes with a code for a free year
In your literal dreams.

>toxic
return to tumblr

>paying for online

Source on those first two?

Just look on their website.

>smartphone app for voice chat

i hope we hack this thing fast so we don't have to deal with nintendo's bullshit

If it was $25 a month, I'd actually be alright paying for that. NES games go for like $5 today. That's $60 worth of games through an entire year.

That being said, RIP Splat2n online playerbase.

>"The system will support online Wi-Fi multiplayer gaming. Nintendo also unveiled a new online subscription service that will begin with a free trial at launch. The service includes a smart-device application available in Summer 2017 that will let users invite friends to play online, set play appointments and chat with one another as they play compatible games. The fully featured paid service will be available in the fall."

Jack shit, user.

>The Switch's online is only $25 for a year
Source: your ass

You can only the games the month you get them. After that you lose access unless you buy it.

>NES games go for like $5 today. That's $60 worth of games through an entire year.
You do know that you don't get to keep the NES game ? It'll be gone at the end of the month you got it

>paying for online
>ever

You do realize that you're just excusing Nintendo jew tactics, right? You people will eat up anything.

>defending paid online at all
lmaoing my fucking ass off right now

How do you rationalize this? Paying for a thing you can get for free, knowing that not a single cent you paid will go to original creators?

Dont blame me that you didnt actually look at the whole website.

NES games go for $0 for the whole fucking library

>25$ a year
please give me a source

Reminder that nintendrones ARE DEFENDING PAID ONLINE
Not a fucking day before they were continuing their shitposting about sonyggers and their accepting of paid online. This move by nintendo shows exactly who Nintendrones are. They are just as bad as sonyggers and will accept and defend anything.

post the source

Reminder that Sonyponies are pretending they don't have paid online.

>$25 a year

and even if it was, it's still bullshit and it should be fucking free.

...

It's okay when Sony does it.

No one is defending it, Nintendo's social media is upset over it and the cost of the things like controllers, no one on Sup Forums is defending it either, all that is happening here are Sonyggers saying shit, deflecting the fact that they happily ate up PS+ happening and then it got a price hike.

...

>toxic

back to the tubmlr then

>I CANT KEEP MY MONTLY NES GAMES
you're actually mocking people for rightly complaining about this. You don't think the price will go up every year, and you get a fucking ROM that you can't keep?

They've been overcharging on 25-35 year old games you can find in a 25 cent bin just because the cartridges tend to be collectors items.

When you get food at the restaurant, the meal isn't free just because you needed gas to drive there.
Nintendo has provided me with a happy childhood. I am more than happy to give back

>BUT SONYYYYYYYYY
>SONYYYY THOOOOOUGHHHHH

>FOOD ANALOGY

Maybe if Sony bronies stopped trying to find something to speed about cause all they got was a shitty ps4 pro while Nintendorks and MSfags get real new consoles, Nintendo fags would be able to spend more time petitioning Nintendo

>Stop pointing out my hypocrisy

>food analogy
fuck off

Bashing food analogies is like rejecting a Pizza because it had a topping you didn't think was good even though you never gave it a chance.

>Food analogy

I'm onto you FUCKER

My hypocrisy?

Nintendo fanboys are the ones justifying this shit

You argue like a liberal
>Well aconservative did something years ago, so I can do it too, but now it's a good thing

>it's not okay if Nintendo does it

If Nintendo is actually asking for money that means that they're going to make their online service not shit

right??

i have a pc queer never paid a dime to online "services" or "free" games

Nintendo's online has never been spectacular or even good.
Who in their right mind would pay for it?

Not sure what they can do to improve P2P

I'm reading through the online service page right now, nowhere does it mention an additional free year or what the subscription will ultimately cost

TOXIC LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

>They've been overcharging on 25-35 year old games you can find in a 25 cent bin just because the cartridges tend to be collectors items.
No fucking way would you be able to find any of those in a "25 cent bin" unless you time travel back to 2002

>someone kills a man and gets away with it
>why can't i kill a man

>The Switch's online is only $25 for a year
>The console comes with a code for a free year
so nintendrones are resorting to just lying now that they cant defend nintendo's shit anymore

>every single aspect about the switch is overpriced
>also no games apart from zelda, which may or may not be good

Sell me on the Switch OP. Why should I spend over 560 eurobucks on Zelda+Switch.

...

>toxic
opinion discarded

>asks for source
>its on the website
>where?
>find it!

If you know it exists and where to find it, it is your fault for vaguely pointing where it is rather than wasting time with this back and forth.

Don't you fucking dare try to justify paid online.

I pay for the internet already, I'm not paying twice.

Well, I mean, if you're only interested in Zelda for now : Buy a second hand WiiU and have fun

>>B-BUH I CANT KEEP MY MONTHLY NES GAMES AND INDIE SHOVELWARE! SONY LETS ME KEEP MY MONTHLY SHOVELWARE!
Not an argument.

If you had made this much an uproar when Microsoft starting doing it, it wouldn't have become industry standard for consoles that Nintendo would have to hop on the bandwagon since their competitors make money charging for online services


You wouldn't be bitching this bad if we weren't talking about Nintendo, and you are criticizing Nintendo as if they're the problem when it was Microsoft that started this trend that Nintendo finally caved into because they realized if people pay 60 bucks to Sony just to play Call of Duty all the time, people will pay at least half that or more to them
Nobody's talking about PC since it is irrelevant to this discussion which concerns online home console services

>everybody should just gobble down shit, like I do, that would be so much better.

wew lad, it's like you want a world where everyone was a nintendrone

It's (most likely) a great game and you'll be able to play it wherever you want.

ᶫᶦᶰᵏ ᶦˢ ᶜᵘᵗᵉ

How is it not?

>Completely unneeded pay walls to basic services which only serve to suck funds out of their consumers, exploiting them. But hey, let's defend it!
Sup Forums been doing that since Sony got on the van

>pay 560 eurobucks to play 1 game
>worth it

Breath of the Wild is pretty much the exact opposite of what I want in a Zelda type game as well.

>overprices everyrhkng they touch
>b-but its only going to be 25$

Only in your dreams. Expect it to be at least 80$ for an annual subsription

>B-BUH I CANT KEEP MY MONTHLY NES GAMES AND INDIE SHOVELWARE! SONY LETS ME KEEP MY MONTHLY SHOVELWARE!
at least, Sony give them something in exchange, instead of letting them have it only for one month.
and the rest of this whole service is also stupid
(a smartphone is needed for voicechat, awesome idea)
point is, the whole online service so far is garbage
and I am a Nintendofanboy

>literally defending Nintendo taking your games away

not even Steamfags are this delusional, and they think Half Life 3 is going to be announced at E3 this year

You don't stop a bad practice by singling out the last one to do it. What good would trying to get Nintendo not to do it do? They had free online the last two generations and that had no impact on Microsoft or Sony's decision to put a pay wall up.

However if people stop making for Xbox Live Gold and PS+ then it might change.

>mfw no matter what console I'll buy next, I'll be force to pay for online

Get a PC sempai

I can think of maybe two console exclusives I want to play, but there's not nearly enough to justify the costs and fees.

So what you're saying is that console don't succeed on providing value and good service, but by fucking you as hard as you can and then marketing the shit out of it? Sounds like consoles are a pretty shit thing to me.

Already the case user. But shit like Bayonetta 2, Breath of Wild and other nintendo exclusive forced me to buy a WiiU 6 months ago. Also there's some console exclusives that tempts me to buy a PS4.

Why do you have to pay for all online services in ganes nowadays anyway?
Are the server maintence now a bitch now or is it just purely corporate jewery where they realized that people are willing to pay for online and just make people pay for it because they can?

>nintendrone

Those guys would pay to be raped in the ass as long as the niggers wear red caps.

If they don't announce a price until march I'm going to cancel my preorder. I won't run into that trap

>Server maintence

What server maintenance though? Console owners pay once for online, then again for the game. It's like being taxed twice. PC players buy the game once, and it's assumed that in that initial cost includes server costs, or we just host shit ourselves. Biz 101: take power and choice away from the consumer.

>people are actually defending subs for online
this is a joke, right?
people are just shitposting, right?
no one honestly thinks this, right?

Please stop talking out of your ass.

Having an actually usable friend system would be great.

I remember when Sony did it and this board went through this same shit.

Does nothing to improve the actual online gameplay user

Restaurants don't charge you 25 bucks a year to see the menu.

So it is just them being a jew?

>they think Half Life 3 is going to be announced at E3 this year
literally nobody thinks half life 3 is ever going to come out anymore

Literally the only argument of nintenyearolds up until last week
>lol at least we don't have to pay for online XDdd

now have to pay for online
>it's okay right? I mean everyone is doing it

You guys do know nes roms are like 2-4mb
so dont ever delete them on your sd card

>$25 for a year
>no voice chat
>no dedicated servers
>no online services
>no online games so far

What are you even paying for?

You can only play it for the duration of the month

uuuhhhh

Of course. Every successful company on this earth is full on jew. You can hide it with silly characters and presentations, but the goal is the same.

I mostly play online on my PS4 so I don't really need to pay for Switch's online service. It's gonna be a single player only device for me.

Wait until everything that was announced is out. That'll give the console time to show any flaws, and you'll have tons of feedback.

Are you under the impression that people charge money for things just to cover the costs of production?

Don't give away something people are willing to pay for. Last I checked Nintendo isn't a charity and doesn't owe you shit

It's going to be $50 a year because Nintendo is fucking stupid.

There is a difference between defending and grudgingly accepting something.
Paying a fee for online is fucking shit but it is coming anyway, what you gonna do?

I am not gonna pay jack shit for online but i understand their rationale behind it, how does telling others that make me a defence force?

There is honestly no winning you guys.
You come over to a discussion board to discuss, then basically start labeling everything when contrasting opinions come in. Why even bother "discussing" in the first place?

How much longer are you fanboys going to keep up this sad attempt at damage control?

>NES games go for like $5 today. That's $60 worth of games through an entire year.
What in sweet fuck?
