Spot on
Wukong was the whole shebang and didn't even need an update. Those developers are getting rarer though.
Don't worry, it'll be hacked/emulated by that point.
Ah yes, the universal response to adding an online requirement to a previously free feature. Pirates will still find a way, meanwhile legit customers get another obstacle and a potential headache if there's a problem with the connection (on either side). And from I understand Nintendo's servers are known for falling apart when there's unusually large traffic.
I live in a hut deep in the woods and have no internet. But two trees down the trail there is a video game store that sells Switch games. So I absolutely need my Switch 2 to function fully offline.
Don't recall you thinking similarly when the Pro revealed, and you had to connect to the net to register your physical drive.
That's because this is how Blu-ray drives are activated. All devices with Blu-ray disk drives have to connect to the internet for that. Take it up with the Blu-ray consortium and the MPAA.Don't recall you thinking similarly when the Pro revealed, and you had to connect to the net to register your physical drive.
My guess this is some weird thing they're doing for anti-piracy.So once I've used internet to update game and system all that. Off-line on a plane can I still use it? Some planes don't have internet
It's not every game but people keep passing on like it is. Just like with some Switch, PS5 and Xbox series games, some physical media won't have the full game on it. It's up to the publishers.
Yeah that makes sense and even though I'd prefer the entire game on the cart, this isn't new in the industry. I imagine the vast majority of games these days aren't all on the disc/cart.
And you are wrong, people are trying to spread this urban legend to confort themselves in their digital life, but, no AT ALL, the vast majority of games these days ARE all on the disc/cart and you can always play them in 1.0 version (the famous "Gold" step that devs brag all the time) version without any online requirement with very fews exceptions lately (Hogwart Legacy, Star Wars outlaws, Star wars Jedi survivor, etc...) with the notable and sad Xception from Xbox where they seem to totally erase physical proper release.
I am pretty sure this is an antipiracy measure....
That's unacceptable!! I want to install my online games without internet damn it….
drm is not good.
1. Nintendo Ninjas are fully deployed now.
Now, the key cards are stupid, and I won't buy them, but it's being reported that you CAN sell them/give them away. So, let's wait for all the facts on that one. (It's still a dumbass idea, even so.)
