GanglyKhan 12/13/18 10:53:25 PM #5:	It's a general fee. $20/year and it nets you a bunch of NES games, also with online support. Keep in mind each separate user account on a Switch will require their own subscription. --- Now Playing: Persona 3:FES, Morrowind SFV: Ed \| Kolin SCVI: Groh \| Taki <cite>GanglyKhan posted [p:914091097] in Nintendo...

AverageBoss 12/14/18 12:10:25 AM #8:	Still appears to be using peer to peer rather than dedicated servers though, which is annoying. The really bad part is that they lock save backups behind the subscription. The only way you can backup Switch save data is through the cloud, and only while you have an active subscription. Its a baffling and terrible restriction that I hope gets rolled back. <cite>AverageBoss posted [p:914094892] in Nintendo...

Its a baffling and terrible restriction that I hope gets rolled back. I had better connections in Gears of War on a 512kb dl back in 2006 than I have on servers today. So there's no way to save to a drive? No way to copy or dl? VioletMassacre posted... I'm pretty sure you can try out online a month before paying, so you know if it's worth it to you. Might be for Smash Bros. But I technically don't have the console yet. --- I'm right, as expected. <cite>zebatov posted [p:914095066] in Nintendo...
