So at 3 games per month, how long until they get to the point where they need to add SNES games?

I say 2 years

There's 714 NES games.


Yeah but people only care about like 100-150

So by the end of the year, 14/30 of the NES Classic lineup will be on the service.

That is kind of funny.

I bet Mega Man 2 is the last one. Dont want to cut into Legacy Collection sales!

the funny thing is I've been playing Wii U with a friend of mine who moved to Florida and I just straight up call her

I imagine I'll just call her while we play switch as well and bypass that fucking app entirely

The funnier thing is that the Wii U DOES have on-system voice chat. Hell, the original DS had on-system voice chat.

As a fiercely loyal Nintendo fanboy, I'll never understand their obsession with not having a normal online. It speaks volumes when the Wii U was their best attempt (no friend codes, voice chat, good connection). Is it their family friendly image? Because parental controls take the fuck care of that.

Planned rollout for the rest of the year

And these have online play right

Why did I get a NES classic


I still am curious about how theyre gonna add online play to something like Zelda 1


Maybe every time you are in the inventory there's a chance player 2 will hit Up+A from across the country and kick you to the save screen.

great! I can't wait to just hear dogs barking non stop on nintendo online games (jk, nintendo doesn't have any online games I'd ever want to play)

Yeah, that's part of why it bugged me so much. How often do you have multiple people sitting around while you play online to speak with more people you know. And then all of the strain on your phone's battery and the fact that everyone is going to have background noise. One loud fan is all it takes to make it utterly unbearable.

I don't know how they can be so utterly clueless on how to make online work in the year 2018. I get they created this console with no idea how to make a microphone or headset work with it, but damn is this idea bad. Can Nintendo send me a special headset that I can plug in my phone at least when I enroll in their online so I don't need to purchase something to make talking online tolerable?

Don't most phones have a jack?

Any headset you'd use with like, PS4, should work with your phone

Basically, the downside is you're draining phone battery instead of controller battery, but otherwise it's not a ton different

Nah, it can be hella fun sometimes. I've definitely had good times voice chatting on Halo 3 with strangers. And seen some funny Youtube videos of teamkill reaction compilations on Battlefield.

Yeah, but I don't want to have to buy one. And chances are that most people aren't going to buy one either, so this will just be a mess.

PS4 didnt come with a headset either, did it? Neither does Xbox.

That shouldnt really be a knock against Nintendo. Youve gotta buy a headset for any of them. I mean, hell, if the complaint is I dont want to buy a headset, then Nintendo is actually the best of the three since you dont have to have one

Oh man, with the Online Service starting in a few days, we should do a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gaming night soon (probably on Friday). Mario Kart is probably the biggest online game currently available for Switch right now, at least until Smash comes out.


Grand Kirby posted...
I wouldn't be able to do Friday, but I could do Sunday.


@Grand_Kirby - If you're going to do this on Sunday, then you may want to put up a topic soon with the necessary information on how people can play together.

As for the game mode, I would recommend 150cc over 200cc. I've tried 200cc and it is insane. 200cc makes me fly off the track easily, even with a kart that has max handling. I would need to have Smart Steering turned on to survive in 200cc, where as this is not necessary for 150cc.

I assume a lot of people would pay the money in order to play Smash. But I wouldn't be surprised if some people choose to wait until Smash comes out before buying a 1 year subscription to the Online Service, as there aren't many notable online games available right now besides Mario Kart.
