Aimee Hart Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 That's the big question, isn't it? I always expected there to be a Nintendo Online service, but I'm not sure the good outweighs the bad. The fact that Nintendo will literally delete your cloud saves if you don't continue to subscribe seems really iffy to me. But then again, I'm not a fan of anything to do with the cloud as I prefer having things physically. But what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think it has a lot to be desired, I haven't gone all over the details but I don't like it personally from good glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I'm a bit mixed on it. On one hand, I really the dig the cheaper price point, the inclusion of cloud saves and the inclusion of a bunch of SNES/NES classic games. And then on the other, I hate the idea that Nintendo will delete ya cloud saves if you don't continue subscribing and you'll lose all those classic NES/SNES games. I really would've preferred to just buy the classic retro games for cheap than to have them used as a sort've "ransom" to make you pay for their online service. Still, it's very cheap - particularly compared to the other competitors - which irons out some of my disgruntlement. Wanna try it for a while before passing my final judgment tbh.

Demon_skeith Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 My problem is I won't always be playing smash, so there will be days I'll be paying for nothing. Much like what I'm doing for sony's PSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UleTheVee Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Nintendo offers what Steam does for free at a 35 dollar price tag. Not only that but it's also awful and SSBU uses a P2P connection anyways so they literally didn't even bother to improve the online experience. I feel cheated, I feel scammed, this service is awful.

They did tell us that we have a grace period after our Switch Online subscription ends. I think it's 6-12 months but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mind that timeframe and there's no point in having data backed up on their servers if we'll never renew online again. Anyway, I've seen good and bad comments about the service since Nintendo launched it. I'm not sure why people complain because they made it clear to everyone before they purchased a Switch.. that our "online experience" was more of a free trial that got delayed (hence why we even had it for so long). With the delay in mind, I didn't mind because more online multiplayer games were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so It's 12 months and they give you a 2-week grace period The data you put in the Online service will be deleted if you don't renew your subscription They complain because the service is awful, not because it wasn't announced. It's an awful online service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I buy a lot of digital downloads through the eStore, but I don't do anything with cloud. I would love to be able to play NES and SNES games on my Switch, but not so much that I'm going to pay a monthly subscription fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I think from this year onwards, there will be more digital downloads. And for those countries which are still on 3G, I guess devs must be thinking of ways to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
