TWENTY DOLLARS

TWENTY DOLLARS
$20.

Consolefags BTFO yet again.

This app is a fucking JOKE and anyone defending it is purely a shill for Nintendo

They said they were gonna have paid online eventually, didn't they? Anyone buying into it expecting otherwise just doesn't sound informed.
On top of it, $20 for the year is cheap relative to Xbox and PS's online services, though if I remember correctly, the perks aside from online play that nintendo offered were pretty damn lackluster.

I'm a Nintenbro, and although I think $20 is a great deal, the fucking app is retarded
Honestly how much more work/cost would it have been to add a mic to either the Switch itself or the controllers?
Now I gotta have my phone on at all times and drain the battery just because Nintendo is incompetant

How is Nintendo even still a thing? Their consoles are absolute shit. Who is buying this shit and keeping them afloat or is it just a money laundering front for the yakuza at this point?

>I'm a Nintenbro, and although I think $20 is a great deal, the fucking app is retarded
20 bucks would be fine IF THE FUCKING ONLINE WOULDN'T BE WORSE THAN THE WII

3DS keeps them alive
Check the sales on that thing sometime, it's crazy

Weren't you around when the Wii and the DS were a thing? They made some mad bank during that era, my dear user.

WiiU was just a little messy beep on their radar. They are here to stay for quite some time

>How is Nintendo even still a thing? Their consoles are absolute shit.
Jesus Christ, how underage are you?

paying for playing online.
top kek
feel good to play on pc.

Are you 8? Was the Wii U your first and only Nintendo console?

Feels better playing Splatoon 2 and ARMS

>one MMO costs 12 dollars
>all of the games on Switch cost 20

Exactly this.

They have enough money sitting around that they could continue operating for another 100 years, doing and releasing absolutely nothing but paying wages and replacing dead employees (but no new positions) before going broke.
That's how they're still around.

>$20 to use your phone to voice chat

how do they get away with it?

>their consoles

Who said anything about the consoles? The 3DS still makes bank in Japan.

>Paying $20 to Nintendo to use your Phone as it was intended.
Thanks Nintendo!

Honestly surprised that the Switch is selling at all when, to me, it looks like a worse WiiU with paid online

>$20
One year for free so $10.

LOOK AT ME
I AM POOR
I CANT AFFORD 20$ FOR ONLINE PLAY PLEASE RAPE ME

>Switch only has a 2 year lifespan
Sounds about right.

Pff hehe just the cost of coffee heheh

>Paying money for nothing
Nintendo isn't actually offering anything for the $20...
>bbut online play
P2P online play, Nintendo isn't providing shit.
>bbut master servers
Valve, EA, Ubisoft, etc manage to do this without charging $20 a year for access and they're some of the biggest Jews in gaming.

$20 per year, for no reason other than to fund Kimi's new Yacht.

I spend more on a pizza delivery every Saturday night. Get a job poorfag.

I do.
But why would I volunteer 20mins of my time to Nintendo every year so Kimi can have a new Yacht?

They aren't providing me anything in return, since the online is all P2P anyway...

How is this shit even acceptable?
The fucking Wii had free online and it worked decent, the 3DS has free online but nope, you have to pay to play the Switch online. And on top of that you need to use your phone for voice chat and other functionalities i mean wtf

Don't bother arguing. Literally that logic can be used for anything
>but just buy a separate pro controller
>but just buy a separate LAN connection converter
>but just buy extra storage
>but bomberman is only 60 dollar

Why can't Nintendo just die already? They're the most anti-consumer corporation out of the big three. Why are Nintentards so against the idea of this shitty company going third party? That way you don't have to buy their outdated hardware or pay for their ancient online service.

>How is this shit even acceptable?
So it's acceptable for everyone else to monetise online play but it's fucking outrageous if Nintendo do it? Even though they're offering it ridiculously cheap compared to their competitors?

>tfw Nintendo makes more games for smartphones than they do for their own console/handhelds
>tfw Nintendo holds back finished games for months just so they can release it during drought

nintendo isn't gonna die until around 100 or 200 years.

nintendo is like disney of gaming.

It's not, that's why PC is used as an example of how it should be done.

It's the principal of it, not the fucking cost you retard. You want to get value out of your money, not piss it out for free.

As of right now, the online isn't worth the $20. I spent more than that eating dinner last night, but I felt like I got something out of that dinner. if every service just charged $20 extra for no fucking reason then it would add up.

How about I add $20 extra to your pizza bill for no reason just because, and when you complain to the manager he says "get a job, poorfag, it's just $20 lol"

>but everyone else
>ridiculously cheap
Be honest with me. You aren't older than 15 and/or overweight.

The shilling is retarded

Nope, fuck everybody who monetizes online play. Fuck Sony who just increased the price of PS+. The fucking PS3 had free online but they saw what microsoft was doing and copied that. And since thats profitable, everyone is doing it, except the PC. Which is fucking bullshit and literally a cash grab.

>all the games on the switch

Your only paying to play them user not owning them take your tongue out of Nintendo ass

It's not acceptable for any platform but at least Sony and Microsoft's online services aren't twenty years behind everyone else. Nintendo at least had the excuse of having free online. Charging any amount of money for it is a slap in the face.

I spend more than that on a drink. I'm more annoyed at filling out billing info

It isn't acceptable when they do it either. Fuck Microsoft for making their competitors stoop to their level. Xbox live was donkey smegma and everyone knows it. No fucking money goes into the servers, they just collect money from you cause they can. I remember playing Gears of War and the fucking host of the game would just dick everyone's eyeballs out while the rest of the players were lagging into Uranus. Meanwhile PlayStation's online was just fucking fine; but then Sony was like
>did WTF people are PAYING Microsoft HOW MUCH for absolutely nothing? Well shit.

my boyfriend spends that much on starbucks for me everyday
there is literally no problem

No...... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
£20... It's fucking OVER, bros!

>only 20 dollars a year for infinite access to a full library of all NES and SNES games as VC on your Switch
>bad

Every time Nintendo tries something that isn't a major success you guys say the same thing. Then every time they come back with something that is a success you act like it's some kind of incomprehensible mystery.

They've actually got an incredibly solid track record of profitability and popular products, there's literally zero reason to think they have ever been in any kind of serious financial danger regardless of your personal opinion of their games and consoles.

Another consequence of piracy.

>Get bill for your drink
>It comes out as $50
>"Dude wtf, I only ordered $30 worth of shots"
>"Psh, it's just $20 more."

If you not and say "oh yeah, you're right" to the above then you're a huge cuck.

pretty lousy bait, friend, but have a (you)

Ok, you convinced me. Paid online is AIDS.

lol it'll be a small shitty selection of NES titles like Urban Champion and Ice Climber.

It's acceptable when everyone does it
thats how the world works kiddo

>GAME NOT INCLUDED

awesome, that's pretty low.

You get free games though.

Paid online is never ever okay

BUT, looking at this optimistically, it's 20 burgerflaps a year the other consoles charge like 300% of that for their service

>this happens

What's it like being 16?

Yeah just like PS Plus is "free" right? It's incredible how easy it is to fool retards into giving you money.

I never was stupid enough to defend Nintendo. Even at that age.

I don't mind 1.33 a month, that's cheaper than any kind of PPV by far and lord knows most people don't even use their cable to the point to justify their bills anyways
It's just that
Nintendo's online has always been VERY POOR, even the WiiU's online was dodgy. I hope that with this, they'll provide actually stable and faster online, but
>muh profits

You pay for online. The games are free.

The app is great, voice chat is not, but it's pretty convenient, you can even buy shit off it and it updates every 2 hours unlike the in-game stores that update every 24 hours.

You pay to rent them, you mean.

They're free.

You don't have access to the games unless you are subscribed to PS+. If it runs out, you cannot play the games anymore. To further play them, you have to PAY for PS+ and therefore basically pay to further rent the game.

>Charge you $20 for a burger
>"The buns are free"


Wow! FREE BUNS with my burger??? I was against playing $20 before, but what a deal!!

They're free.

>I spend more than that on a drink.

it better be a whole bottle senpai

hurr durr i cant read xDDD

>you get free stuff for paying for stuff
You can't make this up

It's free, retards.

If they actually put effort into putting a good collection of games right off the bat on VC when it launches, the 20 bucks will be worth it for just that alone

I'm a Nintendofag but no. Online should always be free (even more when your most popular online game is p2p). 20 eurodollars is better than Sony and Crosoft but it's still a shitty decision for consumers.
And given how AWFUL are the app and Nintendo servers I don't see myself ever paying for such a bad service.

>how do they get away with it?
Same way Sony and Microsoft get away with charging $50+ to use your Internet connection to play games online.

Yeah! It only costs $20 to get the free thing, too, so it's a great deal. :)

Reminder NIntendo is charging full price for handheld tier games that still have Gamecube level visuals.

If games like Splatoon 2 are going to have this garbage online systems, its not worth it

>That 5 o'clock shadow
>Dyed hair
Every time

>Forgetting the Wii and DS
Are you retarded? This is like me asking why Sony is a thing when their movie department is in the shitter

I'll gladly pay $60 for Mario Odyssey. I won't pay for their joke of an online service.

Reminder that Sony and Microsoft are charging full price for "interactive" movies that still have last-gen level visuals.

I like Neo Vaginas more.
>they dont have periods
>can be custom fitted to your partner's penis's exact dimensions
>can be designed with as much or as little labia majora as you'd like
>don't smell like fish
>they can't get pregnant

Just calm the fuck down bros, wait for the revision that doesn't require a seperate phone app just for dumbass voice chat

Sony and Microsoft have working online multiplayers. Dont get me wrong, paying anything for online is bullshit, but Nintendo doesnt even give you passable online modes for ANY of theor games to justify any price

>oh look it doesn't fit in the dock
>oh look, the joy sticks broke off in my skinny jeans
>oh look, the right joy stick is in the wrong area now
Never go near anything worth more than a few dollars ever again

>someone thought this was a good idea

This is not happening for at least 3-4 years until the 3ds dies. Just buy it now you won't regret it

Who the fuck wants that? i can understand the d-pad why the fuck permanently attached joycons? are you a moron? why symmetrical analog sticks? besides is not like they can add chat without the app in an update...

Nice

>Still 3x less than PSN

If I'm playing with my friends on the Switch and have to use my phone to talk to them through Nintendo's shitty app...Why wouldn't I just have a group call on my phone, or have everyone get on Skype on their laptop, or anything else rather than pay Nintendo?

Wew lad. Switch is awesome and 20 dollars for a year of service is cheap but the service is useless currently so i have no plans to actually buy it.

>hey, buddy, I only stole $20 from you, there's a guy I know a few blocks down who'd steal three times that much

>>oh look it doesn't fit in the dock

...

When steam exists for free there really is no excuse for anyone with the money they rake in to charge for trivial online service. I'd rather just have ad. Or why dont they just use it to advertise their own shit? (Or why not be a kike and double dip)

Removing board from one plastic and putting it in the other is too much work.

Stop posting this unfunny trash.

No one is asking you to pay for it
If you'd rather pay $60 to Sony than $20 to Nintendo go right ahead

Or what?

post the mario wojak who's about to hang himself
