Nintendo Switch Online Sucks 

They're just giving us more and more reasons to pirate

I hate that the older games are tied to a subscription service. Also where the fuck is Wario Land 1 & 2

i'll never forget on 4 chan they call online gaming on consoles "paying for internet twice"

Oh yeah, I don't see how Nintendo putting Conkers Bad Fur Day on NSO could possibly backfire in anyway 😂

Interesting fact: Metroid was never considered for the N64 at all, the series director was so ambitious with what he wanted out of Metroid’s first 3D game that he completely rejected the N64 in favour of staying on handhelds until the next console generation!

Nintendo: Creator of childhood memories, destroyer of childhood nostalgia. Nintendo: Destroyer of emulators, creator of why emulators exist. I have always found it odd they still haven't released any gamecube games onto NSO. I know they like to wait an unreasonable amount of time, but good lord its been over 20 years. The gamecube could legally vote and drink in the US.

Why isn't there Virtual Console? We've been waiting to play Wii Sports on the Switch and then they give us Switch Sports? And don't get me started on paying for online

Personally, I think its major letdown is the fact that it's a subscription! Compared to the Wii (U) and 3DS eShops, which you paid per game, you get a load of games. Some of them you might even never play!

I’ll never pay for NSO

Unfortunately Capcom prefers to sell their classic games in collections, then stop selling the physical versions of those collections rather quickly.

Don't dump on The Wily Wars. Classic MM titles are easily available in the legacy collections and this is one of the only times Wily Wars has made it off Genesis. Now have I played it on NSO? No because I refuse to give Nintendo money for this service lol.

The worst part is that eventually they're gonna close the eshops like for the 3ds and wii u, and since they're subscription only, there will be absolutely NO way to play the games unless you own the next console.

Capcom and Konami are too busy trying to make money off these games selling collections.. which i feel Nintendo should be doing that.

It's not just Nintendo it's the whole industry

agree 100%, cloud saving should be free. what if your switch is destroyed in a fire or stolen and u have no premium to pay for.

I don't pay for it, personally. I've maybe bought two years of regular NSO for the whole time it's been a thing

And water is wet

I own as much old games as I can get my hands on so I don’t have to repay for games over and over. Not everyone wants that to take up space in their house though. Having it online is a nice option. But then again you can download them on pc for free 🤷‍♀️

I would have been okay with most of it, but after watching my friend try to play 007 Goldeneye online and seeing/hearing how bad the lag was… i’ll stick with my OG N64 or PC emulation as they are clearly the right choices!

I’ve had NSO since day one, but never upgraded to premium. I do enjoy the NES/SNES games, but I already own most of them. I’ve decided not to renew after my subscription expires because it’s just not worth it.

1041 Game Boy games... And they didn't even release half

No party chat kills me

Awesome video!

Man….it def left a lot to be desired

by the way, nintendo's paid online service is slower than the ps3's. And the ps3's was free.

Still no diddy Kong racing. Donkey Kong 64. No smash 64

I'm sure there's some old dusty forgotten rights scroll in the janitors closet for some of these old games that prevent them from being put there on nso, but still that can't be very many of them! The way I see it they either want more cash for remakes they create in the future, or are too lazy to have the things adjusted to be played on switch.

It was true, but as of 2-3 years ago, it isn't for the base tier.

Switch Online could be good if they added Online Multiplayer Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle onto it for free

Gameboy has only been here for 14 months, it doesn’t count. N64 has only been here 3 years, give it a break. The consoles that have actually been here long enough have a much better library than anything we’ve had in the past. Switch online base subscription is currently the best value subscription in gaming, and I imagine in a few years the expansion pack will join it

I literally have earthbound and mother 3 on emulators because Nintendo switch online is not worth the price. And also something to add, during online play for smash bros, it can lag so much, I paused the game even if both people have good wifi,but Mario kart works just fine. When I had switch online,the only 3 things I used were online play,old games,and cloud data, but not much.

I think Nintendo is too focused on making mobile apps and releasing games on a yearly basis to care much about the online service. Even if they do exactly what the fans want, Nintendo probably won’t make that much more money. Not to mention that genuine criticism towards the company is drowned out by many other fans complaining about everything else lol.

The few games they do have are represented well enough, although the colors appear very washed out VS other emulators.

this is why i own a hacked switch with father retroarch

How is there not even a game cube emulator yet?

Hey the final fantasy pixel remasters are actually really good.

Would've been better if you could only pay it for once and then never pay for it again instead of paying every month or year.

I can’t forgive them for forbidding me the opportunity of enjoying the masterpiece that is donkey Kong 64

I think the main reason with some games like Castlevania and Mega Man not being on these services is because of the fact that they have collections already on switch, same with Secret of Mana, yes some of these came later but it still barely changes anything, the Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 even came before the switch so obviously those werent gonna put those games on the service

Ahem Densetsu no Stafy 1, 2, and 3 ring any bells

This Subscription that been out for years still hasn’t get no good games

Yes the severs are poop I just my switch like a month ago and I was so disappointed on the games they had for the 64 and game boy

Nintendo have had the switch out for a good number of years over 7 i think. Thats roughly thr same amount of time the NES, SNES, N64 and so on for each generation. So why did they not have this stuff out on day 1? Legacy Gaming needed to be out on launch and have every game available for free consideri g your paying for a subscription. Come on Nintendo get your shit together

30-40 year old roms does not an online service make.

I feel ya on wario land 4

That’s why I sold my Switch for a Steam Deck. Now I can play whatever the f**** I want! Lol

Remember kids pirate nintendo as much as you can its easy and fun.

Business class taught me how to not use my brain *I didn't do great in the class but hey I'm not stupid so yeah*

Here before this video explodes

Paying for internet twice sucks. Who'd have thought. For real though, do people actually buy NSO just for emulation? I feel like the service only encourages you to sail the 7 seas.

True

i have a thumbdrive with every major console's fullset up to n64 on it because fuck 'em

I want donkey Kong 64 plzzzzzz

We know it does

when you MooORON youruters will understand that you can't JUST ADD a game on an online service.... it ALL depends on the type of deal that was made. if ONE person is not correctly compensated based on the contract they sign at the time , nintendo would be sued FOR SURE SO is not that simple, nintendo don't own those games, they LICENCED it.... jesus man... study a little about copyrights and ownership before posting those garbage videos...youtubers LOVE to complain about copyright strikes and yet, can't take five minutes and do a little research on the internet...

How does the Mario vs donkey Kong remake suck? I loved it considering I loved the original and I thought the new content was very fun too. ???

you know what sucks more? xbox gold/ultimate 7$/15$ bucks A MONTH for em. it sucks soo much and if you play Minecraft on bedrock and want realms for some reason (i dont lol), its an additional 7 dollars ON TOP OF GOLD TO BE ABLE TO USE IT im glad im on pc so those are not problems

Yes, it sucks, but it is also $20 per year.

Yarrr!

🥴

All the games you want on the Nes are not owned by nintendo. Its not like nintendo goes "yo Capcom, I'm putting snes emu shit on my service, give me megaman breh". And outside of those publishers rereleasing games,deal making is harder than you think with trademarks that old. MS tried to make the new xbox backwards compatible on their own hardware, but even with their money, 95% of the og xbox library doesnt work because of licensing issues. You might want to do some research about topics before you make a video,buddy. Your quality is alright but if you dont understand a thing, dont make a video about it

You are absolutely wrong in every way. I am more than happy and PROUD to pay annually for it, and everything you're saying is a load of garbage.

*laughs in pc*

I’d honest to god rather pay a loan for my own funeral with my switch online subscription than the NES/SNES/GB collection and anybody who is even just complacent with the expansion pack even in idea alone should receive intensive psychiatric support as I am severely concerned for them. Nintendo are so adamant on taking down emulators in “””fear of piracy””” but offer blatantly outdated emulation, unnecessary titles and not even the decency to just port the games to the e-shop alongside the service. It’s baffling how the Wii had the best emulation service. THE WII.
