not going to read the tea leaves here. but let's wait and see how the services going to work in actuality.

if they can, they certainly can charge the same as their counterparts even if their base cost is low. coz why not? its business after all. maximize profit.

Netflix style is u can watch any titles from their library as long as you stay subscribed.

Iirc Nintendo free monthly game is different. They will give u 1 "free" VC game monthly. After that month, you will have access to a new VC game and lose access to the previous month free game.

they changed their plans le. please refer to the first image.

would be interesting if the voice chat is the joint effort done with Discord

https://discordapp.com/features

A page ago Nintendo was asking you to use a splitter to merge smartphone audio with the Switch for voice chat, I highly highly doubt they'd be capable of tying up with Discord.

In terms of literally anything to do with online functionality, just assume that nintendo is 10 years behind, and maybe add on another 3-4 years just to be safe.

the Switch has done so many things right since launch, and if you've followed Nintendo you'd never expect them to innovate with regards to their online service, but...this. In 2017. Using a smartphone app, a Switch and mushing the audio together with a cheap splitter\merger\whatever completely boggles the mind. IN 2017. also, this setup is obviously meant for handheld play. If you only play docked and want to chat online? Good f'in luck, mate.

Sony has pretty much the same problem with the PS4, where its Bluetooth chip is locked down, but it at least has a varied enough ecosystem where you can pick between a bunch of wireless headsets. Nothing like this exists for the Switch.

Unless Nintendo pulls something miraculous out of its hat this E3 to address the voice comms issue, voice chat for online play, which is something people have taken for granted on PC/PS4/XB1, will only be a very niche thing on the Switch.

Where you got the housing from?

Swapped out my Grey Joy-con with Neon housing.

Finished job.

Have another pair of original Neon Joy-con. Put them side them side for comparison purposes.

Huh? Nintendo release their games for free on pc?
Or are you talking about pirated ROM?

On the voice chat, I kind of expected this kind of blunder from Nintendo. They always can't seem to grasp industry standard and go out of their way to find "unique" solution which is unnecessary and often complicates things.
This happened before with their stupid account system, Nintendo club, Nintendo point, etc.

Hi I manage to change my region, so I can purchase game in the e shop? Payment by credit card ? Is so, the card to be store in the micro ad card? Thanks

 

[qwertified]

US$20 a year, not too ex and not too cheap either, depends on what online games they offer in 2018 since this year online free.

You will need to use your browser to access your online nintendo account and change the "Country/region of residence". You can't change it from your switch.

Nintendo Switch’s Classic Game Collection is different from Virtual Console

“Classic Games Selection (tentative name) is different from the [Virtual Console],” a spokesperson told the Japanese magazine. The spokesperson then added that Nintendo’s schedule for selling Virtual Console games is “still undecided.”

Update: This story and headline have been updated to clarify and correct statements from Nintendo about the release schedule of the Virtual Console on Switch. Additionally, a response from Nintendo has been added.

What's the difference? “Classic Games Selection" is like HD remastered, whereas "Virtual Console" is just running the age old original ROM using simulator?
