If Nintendo can't even add online co-op to Kirby Star Allies or DK Tropical Freeze, why do people believe they'll add online co-op to NES games on VC?

People are silly, I guess.

Nintendo fanboys will believe whatever bullshit they get fed.
Remember how everyone threw a shitfit about the $10 PSN price hike? Tropical Freeze gets a $10 price hike and no one says a word.

Because NES games with online co-op is among the few things they actually confirmed about their online

I believe they probably can do it, but choose not to for retarded traditional purposes
an user in another thread one time pointed out that they haven't said they're adding multiplayer per se
just online functionality so it could end up being high scores or some shit

>Classic Game Selection* access – Subscribers will get to download a compilation of classic titles with added online play, such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario.

"Online play" doesn't sound like it's just highscore sharing, though

because they confirmed they were doing that you dolt

They could just mean online leaderboards.
If they can't even add online co-op to modern games, how will they do it to old NES games?

Nintendo considers Balloon World in SMO a form of "online play" so it could just be some similar dumb mode that they add to NES games

Online multiplayer
In a PLATFORMER
WITH LAG
REEEEEEE

but SMB3 was one of the games they advertised for "online in NES games" on the switch online service.

kek, if you think Nintendo wouldn't lie to you then you must not have been around for the Wii U days

Well, they did add local MP to 3DS VC
But I see your point. When will Nintendo replace their online departement anyways?

When did dk get a price hike?

you already asked this
i already told you
because they flat out said they were adding online play to VC games

it was $50 when it came out on Wii U, it's going to be $60 on Switch

Oh it is a different price for a different version.

see

I hope Nintendo realizes they fucked up with no Kirby online and its added in as a free update.

Its really inexcusable and its the most common complaint I see about the game. Its not the early 2000s anymore, they cant release co-op games with no online now.

Cuz nobody cares about a switch port of a wiiu port of a wii game

Nah, it's because cartridges are expensive

Tropical freeze was on wii ?

Remember when they said they were still gonna make the Game Boy line after the DS came out?

They said they are adding "online functionality"

that means leaderboards

>a different version.
lol
the only new content in the switch version is the easy mode for babies
it's not like Pokken or MK8 where there's new shit
It isn't worth a $10 increase, it's them being jews
Tropical Freeze wasn't on Wii

Yeah but this is a switch game. I think you're confused.

>they cant release co-op games with no online now.

This. Even games like Tri Force Heroes and Metroid Federation Force allow online play, so why a multiplayer-centric Kirby game doesn't have the option is anyone's guess

So what?

what is the source for that quote?

The wiiu game didn't go up 10 bucks. A different game is a different price.

nintendo.com/switch/online-service/

>Sony ports SotC
>price goes down by $20

>Nintendo ports DKTF
>price goes up by $10
fucking lol

Different games are different prices? Shocker.

>PSN

lol wtf? SMB3 doesn't have simultaneous multiplayer, you have to take turns.
Unironically what did they mean by this? You get to watch your buddy play SMB3 over the net while waiting your turn?

I'd assume so. It's the same as local multiplayer

Nintendo fanboys really just don't get it. You guys love to spout all this nonsense about how Nintendo is the most consumer-friendly of the three console makers, then you turn around and defend shit like this. It's bizarre

I'm just curious about this dk price hike that didn't happen.

If TLOU Remastered cost $10 more than the PS3 version would you be defending it like you are with DK?

>this causes the Sony fan to sperg out

That's the Switch Tax™ for you: nintendolife.com/news/2017/09/feature_exploring_the_switch_tax_and_why_nintendo_was_right_to_use_game_cards

>Switch game cards cost Nintendo more money to produce when the capacity of the card is greater(...)

>While the actual cost of the varying game cards is not public knowledge, it is known in industry circles that the price of Nintendo providing an 8GB game card (with associated packaging costs on top) to a third-party publisher is roughly the same as the costs which Microsoft and Sony charge for a Xbox One and PS4 Blu-Ray discs (again, including platform fee and packaging costs). 8GB is therefore "the sweet spot" for third parties, as it means they can sell at a cost which matches the Sony and Microsoft versions, in the case of multi-format releases.

>Unfortunately, things start to get a bit more troublesome when shipping a game on a larger 32GB game card. In industry circles, it is said that these cards actually cost more than $20 per cart to the publisher. So the choice for the publisher is a bit trickier; assuming they wish to make the same margin that they would on PS4 and Xbox One, they would have to pass some (or all) of the extra cost onto you – the consumer. Which leads to the unfortunate term “Switch Tax” being used when it is announced that games like Rime will cost $40 on Switch and only $30 on other platforms. Following a bit of a backlash, Rime’s price will be lowered for the eShop download version while the retail version will include a soundtrack to add value, but it is easy to see the can of worms which this opens.

not an argument

What does that have to do with anything? You're very mad over nothing.

I certainly wouldn't be saying they raised the price of the game ten bucks, because that would be misleading and retarded.

But they did, it's literally the same game but with an easy mode for babies, and it's also 4 years old, yet they're charging $10 more for it. Yeah they sure are consumer-friendly huh?

I hope they add some way to jeer them. Something like annoying sound effects or making messages appear on screen.

But this is a switch game.

so it's okay for Switch multiplats to randomly cost $10 more than other versions for seemingly no reason at all?
You guys really will defend anything.

Literally nobody said consumer friendly. Did you get owned in another thread and are still spazzing out? Chill.

See

Well I'm glad you admitted they're not consumer friendly.

Now you're changing it from "they raised to the price" to "switch games cost more" . Make up your mind kid.

K? You're obsessed and it's pretty creepy

I'm not changing to anything, I'm just addressing the way you're trying to justify it. Your constant response "well this is a Switch game so it costs more."

Is this why games like LA Noire only have part of the game on the cartridge and you have to download the rest?

>8GB game card costs roughly the same as blu-ray disc
>32GB game card costs publisher more than $20

But according to this article:
forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/09/08/the-unfortunate-reason-multiplatform-nintendo-switch-games-cost-more-than-on-other-consoles/#f1d0ada5faed
>“If a publisher wants to put a game on a 32GB cart on Switch it costs 60% more for them then it would for a 50GB Blu-Ray on PS4/XB1. Your game needs to be less than 8GB (because 8GB carts are cheaper) if you want to make the same margin as PS4/XB1 Blu-Ray disc.”

First of all, there's a contradiction with the cost of 8GB cartridges. Second of all, this information suggests a blu-ray disc costs publishers $12.50 which is outrageous considering I can buy 10 50GB discs for under $20 without the discount you'd get for buying hundreds of thousands of them. Even if third parties used the 32GB cartridge (none have), it's a difference of $7.50 while they're charging at least $10 more for the Switch version.

Yeah
It's literally because the publisher is too cheap to use a bigger size cartridge

It's okay when Nintendo does it

Nintendo needs to force publishers to fit games on carts if its possible, they always cheap out and use the smallest size, and leave you with a 20 GB patch to even function. Its insane, the physical carts shouldnt even be sold in that case.
