What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today
we're gonna be talking about the brand new Nintendo switch online service stuff
that they're doing great so brand new on Nintendo comm right here
oh lab oh hi rule Wars definitive edition that looks great Nintendo switch
online learn more so the brand new Nintendo switch online service is going
to be launching a September 2018 it's a paid service that gives members access
to online playing compatible games a selection of NES games extra features
for the switch online smartphone app and more online play so the feature that's
currently free for online play we're going to have to pay come September of
this year so if you want to play any multiplayer online splatoon Mario Cart
arms Mario Tennis is the new one whatever that could possibly be you're
gonna have to pay for the online service as of September if you want to play
online you have to have the online service just like if you were playing on
xbox this where it says Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo switch
online enjoy xx nest games with added online play for the first time ever and
more games added regularly so there's gonna be 20 games including soccer
tennis balloon fight ice climbers Donkey Kong doctor Mario Mario Bros Legend of
Zelda Super Mario Bros 2 in Super Mario Bros 3 and more to be revealed play
together even when you're apart so this is basically going to be taking any game
that for the NES that had multiplayer functionality and instead of being a
local multiplayer well you're gonna be able to play online which is cool you
know if you want to relive those NES experiences with some friends
others more features save data cloud backup save your data online for easy
access details about this feature are going to be coming later nice so if
we're gonna be able to upload our saves to the cloud this is spectacular
especially since the saves are not saved to the actual cards or the SD card
they're saved to the switches internal memory and if you brick your switch
there's no way to get those files back you just need to start all your games
brand-new hope you didn't try it on 100% breath of the wild yet the Nintendo
switch online app which is super fantastic for talking to people with
headphones while using a multi splitter adapter going from two males to a female
and then to your headphones so that's great and special offers special offers
special offers nice it's gonna be $4 a month or you save when you're buying in
bulk $20 a year and there's a family membership for seven or more devices
great so this is all great and fantastic but what does it actually mean for
people like me and you who like to play our Nintendo switch well the long
suspected Virtual Console right that's gonna be a fantastic way you're gonna be
able to play all your games and they're gonna get added functionality just like
here on the nest online virtual play well according to Kotaku there is
currently no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console
banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems and Nintendo
spokesperson told Kotaku in an email late last night that's just a very vague
statement it's a very vague statement and it makes so much sense because if
they're making money off of the nest classic on the nest classic why would
you roll out the virtual virtual console right away I understand it every single
media outlet is saying that the Nintendo has killed the Virtual Console which
it's quite possible that under the name Virtual Console they're not going to be
doing that anymore instead they could have the nest collection and some games
get online play in this nest collection and some games get online play etc etc
so on and so forth like that but here's the real problem and I don't
know if people are realizing this or not but let's talk about something you don't
really supposed to talk about insert a picture right here of a giant Nintendo
switch with that that big blue logo with the waves on it yeah you know I'm
talking about the homebrew a homebrew community and Nintendo is strong and
it's always been strong and they do some really fantastic stuff and now that we
know that the Nintendo switch can be jailbroken or allow you to play unsigned
software as easily as 3d printing something just making 2 pins on the
right side of your Nintendo switch touch which it's a firm it's a hardware issue
it's not firmware or anything else they can't patch it out you can hack it now
you can hack it a year from now whatever you want this is the issue
so pirating Gabe from valve said it best we think there's a fundamental
misconception about piracy piracy is almost always a service problem and not
a pricing problem if Pirates were offered anywhere in the world 24/7
purchasable from the convenience of a personal computer and the legal provider
says that the product is region-locked it will come to your country three
months after the US release and can only be purchased at a brick-and-mortar store
then the pirate service is more valuable if Nintendo does not bring a virtual
console I'm not gonna say the Virtual Console because not going to be that
name we get it if they're not going to bring a virtual console to the Nintendo
switch more people are going to pirate games and if more people pirate games
then they're going to make less sales it's gonna it's gonna be a mess it's
gonna be the next PS Vita let's put it that way if Nintendo does do Virtual
Console on their devices well I know me for a fact I would like to play
something that's signed by Nintendo for six bucks ten bucks for a triple a title
on an old console I have no problem doing that I've a shelf right here
of classic video games the Zelda's and the pokey man's and stuff if they make
it a convenient way for you to play your games that you love from old consoles on
the Nintendo switch with the the option and the portability of taking it
anywhere well then that's money and let me tell you something
companies love money it's true though like people are flipping out right now
about the new Virtual Console not coming to the switch it's gonna be the death of
it this is an email from one random person this isn't a public statement
about it for all we know this could be on Nintendo viewing this as a PR
nightmare I think people are just reading way too much into it we are
going to be getting a Virtual Console to the Nintendo switch even if it doesn't
have the title Virtual Console on Nintendo switch it maybe this online
service where they're going to be doing console after console love new added
features and they want to roll out those features slowly and they want to make
sure that they're not competing with themselves for their own classic systems
we may see an n64 classic then they don't want to compete with that but I
have a feeling that now that Nintendo's handheld and Nintendo's home console
teams are now working together they're gonna do it but they're gonna do it the
right way people are a little impatient right now that's fine you still have
your Wii U Virtual Console that thing isn't completely obsolete smashes it out
but as far as we're concerned this doesn't mean anything we need to wait to
e3 we need to see what Nintendo has planned in September of 2018 for their
Virtual Console online games plus though one of the a lot of people believe that
one of the biggest reasons that we don't have the Virtual Console besides that
they don't want to compete with their own Classic editions of the consoles is
that Nintendo wanted to put a lot of focus toward independent developers than
Indies some of the smaller developers who have their games on Nintendo switch
have even surpassed their steam sales their first platform that they were on
which is fantastic and when it comes down to it if you are given the option
if you could replay Metroid or an old Zelda game or a Pokemon game or you
could try one of these independent games you're probably gonna go for an old game
that you already know and love and not give the new independent developers a
chance which would be sad it'd be really sad so I feel like they're going to be
keeping the smaller developers in mind than Indies they're gonna be keeping the
ninh DS in mind while making sure that when they roll out these games they're
not gonna be overshadowing Plus are we gonna be getting old DS games or am I
gonna be able to play pokemon red and glue or heart gold and diamond and pearl
on the switch that'd be cool I don't know if it's gonna be a thing but that'd
be cool at the end of the day if they don't do it the hacking community well
