Yeah. Tbh, I think it’s actually fairly reasonable for what you’re paying (albeit I’m assuming SNES and possibly other games will come in time), but then I’ve no experience of XBox or Playstation to compare it to and no voice chat almost feels more like a benefit rather than a problem in my view.
The fuss about Nintendo not keeping your cloud saves if you unsubscribe the other day tickled me as well. If I canceled my dropbox subscription, I wouldn’t expect them to save all my data forever!
It grates that it was free before. If they had improved the online play to levels seen on other systems you could say fair enough. If they had a full Netflix style virtual console then fair enough too, but it’s just a handful of very old games. It might do eventually but how long do we have to wait? The system has been out 18 months and this is as much as they can offer? Bit shit really. It’s telling that the most talked about feature is basically just server space rental for your saves.
This is coming from a long term Nintendo fan. Nothing they do surprises me, they routinely disappoint and amaze in equal measure.
other for me - it’s fine in my book but as I don’t have any games that I actually play online I won’t be getting it. If/when that changes I will revisit my decision.
I’d kind of expect that. But surely unless you’re really unlucky and lose your switch in that one day then your save will still be saved locally anyway, so you just reupload when you start paying again.
Otherwise everyone would just pay one month, back up, and then if they every need to restore the backup just pay for another month. They end up paying two months over the course of what could be years. Not a sound business model…
Well I missed the mini nes and had considered getting one of the recent stock release, but then with this being announced it seemed kinda pointless. Wireless/portable switch vs tiny brick tethered to my telly by a 1.5m cable… Hmmm
Yeah that majes sense. As I say if they’d given us more than a few nes games, even tiered the pay structure to give you access to snes, n64, game cube, I’d be all over that. But this isn’t worth it just for that
