paid online, nintendo joined the dark side

 

[munchie64]

ONE CLICK!

 

[Ponn]

Welp, paid online is an easy pass for me. Highly doubt Nintendo will do anything to make it enticing.

 

[Hidden One]

You guys shook about paid online. Come on this is reality now.

Doesn't mean we have to accept that reality.

 

[thehillissilent]

$300

paid online

off to a good start

at least it's not region locked :////

Yeah. They almost lost me. The games better be good.

 

[Alexlf]

Who the hell thought it would be less than 300$? Why?

 

[Air]

Man I didn't think they'd charge for online

 

[Sapientas]

Paid Online is a console standard. Nintendo being the only one not allowed to have it seems fucked up.

 

[Deband]

Uh oh. They better offer something good with paid online or that's a mistake.

 

[Riddler]

Damn, I must be the crazy one. Somehow I thought $299 was a good thing, but everyone is like "nah, they fucked up" lmao

I'm sure most thought 2 sku and the lesser one at $250 and the better one at $300. So yea I'm not sure why some are having a meltdown

 

[Rival]

Gimme the games!

 

[ByWatterson]

$300 is too much for the horsepower that has leaked.

 

[Ricerocket]

Was already turned off by $300, but now online sub like sony/ms consoles?. Like seriously, good luck.

 

[Juice]

Heh, I wonder if the paid online means "paid multiplayer" or if features like "re-downloading apps" will also require a subscription

 

[robotrock]

I absolutely love the animation in this video

 

[Machina]

LOL it looked like that dudes PS montage pic

 

[flohen95]

299$ seems fine to me, paid online I expected after gamers sucked that up not only with MS but later with Sony (why wouldn't Nintendo join in on the fun? *sigh*).
No region lock is great news for me personally though!

 

[dafodeu]

They are really pushing it is a home console does this means games are going to be $60 dollars?

 

[Compsiox]

Paid online is not a deal-breaker. On the other hand, 299 might be.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Totally fucking down with everything so far. Wooo!

 

[ffdgh]

Paid online...Well at least they got that out of the way I suppose.

 

[Outrun]

Price is too high....

It will still sell out.

 

[Fantastical]

Hopefully subscription comes with VC games or something

 

[Days like these...]

His jeans are bothering me

Nice to hear Billy boy's voice

Is it the bulge that bothers you?

 

[daveo42]

$300 is okay, but man...that online fee is bad news bears.

 

[Jb]

Hey Botw footage that doesn't look washed out!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

They have a hige kids audience that cant pay online monthly, mario kart and spaltoon audience is going to decrease A LOT.
What a fucking bad idea.

 

[Bakercat]

paid online BOO!!!

 

[Shadow Broker]

Fuck. Pay for online really kick me in the balls.

Man fuk that shit.

 

[7echnicolor]

Lol $300 for a brand new console is really not that bad.

 

[Malakai]

I was so wrong....

 

[12BoM]

Holy shit that image. Someone find the picture of that thread where the guy was weirdly proud of his playstation photoshop thing

 

[kromeo]

Europe not even worth giving a price for?

 

[Suburban Thug]

Paid online and $400 cad? Love everything about this console but I'm not buying two subscriptions, especially for a handheld

it's not a handheld, stop. they literally called it a home console

 

[Fancyarcher]

NO REGION LOCK??? That's amazing!

 

[illadelph]

*snap*

 

[finalflame]

People shocked with paid online are way out of line.

 

[Lady Siara]

Came in confident I'd get one but $300 and paid online is making me hesitant, which isn't something I thought I'd be saying tonight.

Will wait and see how the rest goes.

 

[BBboy20]

Region free yet online paywall...

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

this thread is bonkers

Also there's no way I'm paying Nintend for an online service. You're like 15 years too late Nintendo. 1 dot uh-oh cannot be a paid service.

 

[gnomed]

Wow. I hope Zelda is worth $400 for me. Drools.

 

[casiopao]

Quick video show up.^^

 

[OmegaSmash]

Good fucking luck with that paid online.

 

[Metalingus5150]

The online service isn't even launching with the system. lol

 

[SRTtoZ]

Yea this is not a handheld. They are saying Home gaming system like every 20 seconds.

 

[HassanJamal]

We know this, get to the juicy bits, Nintendo.

 

[boiled goose]

I dont care about price and paid online is Tolerable... but only if they are feature leading in online services.

No proper Nintendo account and I'm out.

 

[Agnostic Priest]

For that price point, I'm going to not buy it day one like I did the WiiU. I'll give it 6 months to a year before I buy it. As for paid online, that's ok with me because I don't play Nintendo games online..... Yet

 

[BassForever]

Everything sounds good so far

 

[NimbusD]

they didnt even translate the prerecorded portions... come on man. this feels so slapdash.
