Soon we'll be watching Nintendo Online Direct

soon we'll be watching Nintendo Online Direct

expectations?

None at all

Virtual Console
Hoping for Diddy's Kong Quest

>Soon
Not until January. Nintendo said so.

monster hunter xx pls ;_;

Just import you casual

>Capcom
>listening to fans

Nintendo get cold feet and cancels Switch Online. The online service stays free, but no improvements or features are added. no Virtual Console in favor of a $100 N64 classic with only 10 games.

Something like
>now you'll have to give us all your shekels
>but
>you'll get "free" games

AC switch

The VC subscription leak is still the most convincing.

>You subscribe to a specific platform to gain access to all VC titles from its library
>Can pick and choose as many or few as you want, subscribing to more grants a discount per subscribed package and subscribing to the paid online cheapens it also
>You download the games, no streaming
>Can't buy games or subscribe to specific titles
>Netplay available for a small selection of games
>Launches with NES and SNES libraries based off the mini console releases with a few new additions as well as a rather small Wii package
>N64 package planned to release later on in the year after its own mini release

The freshly announced Wii game ports to the Shield in China convinced me since it runs on the same architecture as the Switch

>spending half you lifetime comparing runes to make sure you get the right stuff
going through pings dex for MH4U was tedious enough

They won't cancel paid online. As it has been mentioned multiple times in multiple threads, paid online practically free money. People will pay for online even if they don't like it. Hell, they'll even start to defend it at some point.

>>You subscribe to a specific platform to gain access to all VC titles from its library
Eh, that's pretty doubtful

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the SNES. Do all systems capable of accessing a virtual console share your game library? Can I buy a VC game on the 3DS and play it on my WiiU, for example?

in other words current gamers have gone full retard.

As someone who owns a Switch, I can tell you that I haven't bought a single online game so far for it, and I never will.

Free online
Screencap this

Haha no, their online is fucking dogshit and the best you can do is paying for an upgrade fee between wii and wii u for vc titles

Nintendo only started connecting accounts across platforms in 2016, so no.

>not owning MK8D, Spla2n, Arms, or Puyo Tetris

Your loss desu senpai

Reggie:

>I'm not going to tell you exactly what it's going to look like. We'll share more about that next year. But what I can tell you is that our vision is to have a robust online environment that not only provides the mechanism for you to have your multiplayer experiences and matchmaking, those elements are minimum. Our goal is to provide that extra Nintendo twist, and that's what makes our company historically so effective. We don't do things the same way everyone else does. We relish being different. We see that difference as an element that makes us more compelling to the consumer. And so having that differentiated experience is what we are focused on and we'll unveil more next year as we're closer to the launch of the service.

You should have. Now was time to do so and you blew it.

I guess I'll stick to emulators then, damn.

>Our goal is to provide that extra Nintendo twist

Nothing is free. Goodwill of your fans is worth more than 15 bucks per year.

Nintendo has done right by its fans since the wii u.

Nintendo of japan literally banned nintendo of america from altering ingame assets

They have releatedly listened to fan feedback in fire emblem heroes

It needs to be a complete overhaul. Also, fuck the phone app. There's no reason why you can't do what does through the system.

>Previously, we announced that the virtual console games would only be available to play during the month they were offered
>Today, we're happy to announce that the monthly rom will be playable for 2 whole months afterwards!

>wanting more of the same shit the last two consoles had available

Dream bigger, user. We need GameCube games in that at this point

>Can I buy a VC game on the 3DS and play it on my WiiU
user, no console allows that.

Disappointment. Nintendo doesn't understand online and they've proved this several times.

Except they already said you keep the game forever.

True, I just wondered why they'd have remastered Zelda games on a handheld but not on thier console. Stupid me.

journalists asked Koizumi about GC games

>“We can not really answer with precision because we have not announced anything about it at this time,” Koizumi said about GameCube titles coming to Virtual Console. “What I can tell you is that we are working on things that go in that direction.”

>Nintendo of japan literally banned nintendo of america from altering ingame assets

I keep seeing this ever since news got out about the whole Xenoblade 2 translation thing but I never see a source.

>buy splatoon 2 from store
>sorry kid, you can't play this game without a subscription
>can't return to store because it's opened
Why is this allowed

Vita/PS3/PS4 and X1/360/Bone literally have it.

HABBENIGGA

>Virtual Console

PLEASE NINTENDO

Except they don't. Or at the very least Sony doesn't, I don't have the Xbone.
In any case you can't download your PS1/2 Classics games on PS4.

>not spending your allowance on a 50 dollar/euro e-shop card like every 12 year old does these with PSN and XBOXLive

Not only will it give you the online access but you'll even have 20 bucks leftover for an e-shop game.

Just for fun, other shit that dude said:
>Kid Icarus Switch and Mario Maker Switch are happening
>Retro's new game is an openworld space opera ARPG, unrelated to Metroid
>Panel de Pon is getting a new title

>buy splatoon 2 from store
>sorry kid, you can't play this game without a Switch
>can't return to store because it's opened
Why is this allowed

>>sorry kid, you can't play this game without a subscription
It's hilarious that kids like you think that every game is Overwatch nowadays.

Yes but only because it doesn't play them. Crossplay still exists.

And my ancient ass digital copy of KOTOR for X1 is apparently valid for the Bone

They have them on both.
Ocarina and Majora on 3DS
Wind Waker and Twilight on Wii U

The remasters aren't Virtual Console though they're brand new titles, and the Wii U is able to play ever Zelda game via VC and BC.

>>Can't buy games or subscribe to specific titles
this is the one thing I don't believe. Nintendo specifically said that the subscription wouldn't replace VC

>General manager Shinya Takahashi talked more about the GameCube’s possible future on the Switch, which could come in the form of controller attachments. If Nintendo released GameCube-style Joy-Con peripherals, Takahashi explained, the company would be sure to include analog triggers.

>yfw special joycons for every system

Hopefully Nintendo releases an updated switch thats a real console.

The switch non gook edition so I can play XB without going to 5 fps.

You wasted your time.

Technically if they're different subscriptions they weren't lying

>wanting those garbage controls
>at all
kill yourself

January is only two weeks away.

You realise that backwards compatibility is a completely different thing right?

>If Nintendo released GameCube-style Joy-Con peripherals, Takahashi explained, the company would be sure to include analog triggers.

Only Spla2n requires online desu.
And MHXX.

That last sentence is very wrong, specifically the Switch is the first time they abandoned the cube's architecture excluding handhelds

Then how did things get cut from Fire Emblem 14

You've never played those games have you.

The Shield and Switch do run on the same architecture though?

Animal Crossing, if not then I'll fucking get pissed like a little kid who doesn't get his toy when he's at the super market.

If they're smart they will at least have multiplayer access for free. Maybe something like PS+ on PS3.
Charging for online right now while there's only splatoon 2 and mk8d would probably hurt sales.
And I would feel jewed because paying extra to play online is scummy. Ask all you want for extra stuff on top of that, but don't put an integral aspect of games behind a paywall.

What will happen if they give us Melee with Online?

>GC controller
>not god tier

I mean only spla2n is actually worth paying for the online.
MK and puyo tetris are better with local coop.
Arms sucks ass.

>MK8D solid single player and online multiplayer
>Splatoon 2 adequate singleplayer and expansive online multiplayer
>Arms adequate singleplayer and expansive local and online multiplayer
>Puyo adequate singleplayer and expansive local and online multiplayer
MHXX is the only one there that doesn't require online at all if you know your shit about MH.

Soon everyone will be paying more for online...

Mario Kart 9 might be too fucking soon but i'm hoping for it, it's been long enough since the original release of 8

>god tier
>GC controller
thanks for the laugh user, I needed it today

...

Let me guess, you think the dualshock is the best controller right?

>nintenbros
the only good controller ever released is the M and Keyboard

They'll save MK9 to propel the Switch 2

Typical Sonygro. Hiding behind a PC when he's caught out.

nope

>local mp > online
>would consider paying to play online
>shit
>local mp > online

>solo MH
Pretty shit desu.

Virtual console
You gotta buy old snes games for the fourth time in a row and you'll like it

literally O B S S E S E D

>damn, I lost because I have shit taste
>better pretend he's another faggot
whatever makes you feel better kid

They'll probably pass on another Mario Kart make a differen racer.

mario kart is dead

the next one will be nintendo kart

So, how does the Switch's online work as of this moment? If I went and bought a Switch right now and wanted to play Spla2n online, would I need to get a sub card or anything, or could I get online immediately?

You can get online immediately.

it's completely free

1. start the game
2. play it

>T-this thing no one considers a controller is the best...
/vs/ when? We need a containment board for you niggers.

This
Its best to not have any hype or hopes or you will just be disapointed this is why hype is retarded.

If you fired one up now?
It would be completely free.

Smash 4 port or Melee HD

And when exactly is it that they plan on making online paid? Was a date given? Will it still be the same on New Year?

GOTY confirmed.
Let it have mechanics close to what Sonic all star racing did and I'm sold.

We still don't know. Probably a bit after the January Direct, but nothing is for sure.
Hell, they could start in the Spring, or in the Summer, or in the next Winter for all we know. They only said "2018"

The GC controller is hot trash. Awful second stick, awful d-paid, terrible button layout.

Is nostalgia the only reason people think this controller is good?

it works pretty well
Switch online is actually really good, connects well and games download pretty fast. the biggest problem is the Switch's internal wifi is complete garbage, so if you're in another room, that quality will dip

the retarded chainsaw you get from RE4 collectors edition is better than the GC controller

The firing of aonumura and making real 1st party Nintendo games.

Both botw and odyssey sucked dick

ASAP, Q1 2018 I think

it's only 20$€ a year and you'll get a bonus stuff for that

>the biggest problem is the Switch's internal wifi is complete garbage, so if you're in another room, that quality will dip
My router is on the other side of the house and I haven't had any problems. Do you have like lead lined walls or something?

>lying about a problem that many switch owners have

Maybe he doesn't live in poverty and can afford an actual hose instead of your hobbit den?

>Nintendo specifically said that the subscription wouldn't replace VC
they also said the nx wouldn't be replacing the wii u

>many
Not him but range as a complaint barely comes up unless it turns out the person has a router from the 2000s.
