How would you rate Nintendo Switch Online? What changes would you make to it?

How would you rate Nintendo Switch Online? What changes would you make to it?
IMO:
It's dogshit to a degree because they don't fucking allow for save backup/cloud saves in Splatoon 2 (which could have easily had it, but no, they wanted to create this fake boogeyman horseshit about "MUH SAVESCUMMING" which is complete and utter horseshit) and they don't even have dedicated servers for games like Splatoon 2, which BADLY needs it.
Great
I have no issues on my games. All the complaints seem to be from poorfags who can't afford good internet and falseflagging Sony Ponies.
Shit/10
The online in games is still Nintendo-tier, cloud saves shouldn't be a paid feature, and the only other thing it offers is a handful of games from over 25 years ago
>the only other thing it offers is a handful of games from over 25 years ago
Do you think they will ever announce Gamecube games? Or maybe even non-Nintendo consoles like the Genesis?
Maybe now that they have the emulators for 64, GC, and Wii ready to go because of the Mario collection. I still doubt they will though, considering they don't even really care about the NES and SNES shit.
I'd say it was decent if:
>N64 games available
>GBC/GBA games available
>Gamecube games available
>winder variety of SNES games available, especially RPGs
>ability to join VC lobby with friends straight from the switch
>has good network/infrastructure (currently garbage servers in general i.e. Smash and Mario Maker 2)
>didn't have video games arbitrarily only available at certain times (FUCKING WHY IS MARIO 35 GOING AWAY IN A FEW MONTHS?)
>voice chat in lobby was ALL handled directly through the console rather than a fucking companion app
don't mind me
Trash. They somehow got card games in Clubhouse Games to lag in online.
I'll just give up expecting it to happen. That way if it does I'll be somewhat excited about it. You're most likely right.
They need to do more of those "free" games for when you're subbed like Tetris 99 or the kirby game.
>lets you play video games online
>gives you fun free video games like Tetris 100, Mario 35, SNES games, trials for games, NES games
Literally that's all it needs to do. For $4/month it provides pretty good value. I don't need unnecessary shit like voice chat or cloud saves which no one fucking cares about or uses. The switch is first and foremost a VIDEO GAME console that plays VIDEO GAMES, not a social network.
Shit.
I recall encountering some faggot blatently hacking when MKD first came out.
Online experience is the same as or worse than the WiiU
Disallowing cloud saves on shit like Splatoon because your rating is saved on system is stupid. Splatoon, Pokemon and XBC2 are the 3 games you sink enough time into getting items and only XBC2 allows cloud saves.
Those emulators have no value because they insist on throwing 3rd party garbage no one played on to it instead of classics that helped sell their systems almost every month.
the voice chat situation is beyond retarded, even using the phone app you can't just make a party, it only works when you're in the lobby together (at least for smash) and then cuts out temporarily when the match is loading. i don't bother any more, i just bring my laptop and use discord but it's retarded that i need to do that.
otherwise it's mostly fine. could use more games in the nes/snes rotation and latency is sometimes bad, but overall it's ok.
/thread. It's really that fucking simple.
Shit, the online is paid and somehow worse than on Wii U, ethernet cable support requires an accessory sold separately, the SNES and NES games come extremely slowly, no N64 or Gamecube games, no extra discounts for being an online member. Super shit.

Utter dogshit. Anyone who rates it higher has Nintendo's cock so far up their ass they can't think straight.
Wii U lets you play for free, it needed more to justify putting online gameplay behind a paywall.
>game company offers you a comparatively cheap online service that lets you play VIDEO GAMES and gives you free VIDEO GAMES
>hurrrrrr you're a fanboy!
Kill yourself, idiot.
dogshit waste of money
I agree, and I'm part of a family so I pay 35/8 for a whole year, 0.36 dollars per month. Don't buy it alone get 8 friends to get the service at 35 dollars for all of you and you split the price, it's that easy.
>that lets you play VIDEO GAMES
You mean both the games and internet I already bought and paid for.
>and gives you free VIDEO GAMES
"""Free""" implying you're not paying for the service, that those games aren't 25 years old, that Nintendo didn't strip away game transfers and the VC so you don't have to quintuple dip on games you've already bought and played previously.
Fuck you.
Completely abysmal. The netcode is as bad as it's always been and Miiverse was a better offering than any of these NES and SNES games.
2/10. Netplay is dogshit and the service is sorry excuse for Nintendo to make a dime. Release 64/GCN games or fuck off.
>as bad as it's always been
It's worse. Wii U objectively had better online experiences, as laughable as that sounds.
Stop being poor. Stop being mad. Are you a snoy? Every fucking console manufacturer charges you for online. Switch is the cheapest and has the least amount of dumb bullshit tacked on. I enjoy VIDEO GAMES. I found that investing in switch online allows me to enjoy VIDEO GAMES on my Switch which is a VIDEO GAME console. Not a social network. Not a conduit for fucking cloud saves that barely anyone uses or gives a fuck about. It is, first and foremost, for PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. Get it through your thick fucking skull. Switch has the cheapest online service and it offers you free and fun VIDEO GAMES.
This user is working hard for that (You)
Didn't read. Blow it out your ass fanboy.
He shan't get it. Not from me.
Honestly, after the success that the Mario 3D collection had, I'm expecting them to start making more packs with 4 or 5 N64/GC/Wii games for 60 bucks each instead of just including them for "free" with the 20 bucks subscription.
Price isn't bad but it's still shit. Now that michaelsoft has their game pass thing, nes/snes online's weak library doesn't even compare.
If there's no dumb bullshit tacked on, THEN WHY AM I PAYING FOR IT?
Nintendo does not deserve money for nothing. I pay full price for all of their products as is, with no hope of ever getting a discount. They can't at least let me have free online?
Easily the best value on the market plus it grants access to a massive library of free retro Nintendo games. I think they should charge at least twice the current price to reflect the level of value and service a subscription provides.
>pikmin 3 doesnt have online coop
>Nintendo does not deserve money for nothing
Correct, that's why they give you access to a curated library of NES/SNES games + exclusive games like Tetris 100/Mario 35 + extended game trials that let you play the full game before purchase + access to buying exclusive accessories from Nintendo i.e. the SNES switch joycons
Yea I hate it when features like voice chat get in the way of my games. Nintendo gets it.
it's fucking shit and i will never get tired of ragging on it
Calling it free online itself is a misnomer. You already paid for it by buying the game and your own internet. It's even more egregious when Nintendo is all p2p, meaning even they're not paying for it. Add that to games like Splatoon which are $60 3 hour experiences without the online and it's absolutely scummy.
Nintendo was supposed to be better than this. It's sad how many people slurped up this shit.
It is absolute fucking dogshit.
How to fix it:
Do the exact opposite.
Don't care. I'm not a poor, mentally ill retard that can't afford $4 a fucking month (13 cents a day). Get a fucking job.
