You need subscription for online games/function but that's with every console. Nintendo has either cheapest or 2nd cheapest (idk xBox prices).

The new function is discord without being bound to discord

u/Jealous_Answer3147 22h ago

It's the cheapest for a reason, it's generally a terrible service

u/Ninja0verkill 18h ago

Isn't that because they don't use dedicated servers for multi-player? I think even smash bros uses peer to peer connection that has horrible lag.

u/stunt876 18h ago

Then wth are they charging for? If its a subscription it goes towards the server but if its peer to peer we are paying to maintain the server and access to our own server

u/cheesetombatta 15h ago

Nothing. It’s a racket. But it’s been the norm since the first Xbox so consumers pay it without question

u/LWIAYMAN 3h ago

Old console games.

u/stunt876 3h ago

Most of them are on the $50 one. Im talking about the $20 one

3

u/Kryslor 16h ago

Every fighting game ever uses peer to peer. Dedicated servers are not strictly superior, it depends entirely on what the game is.

u/LunchTwey 14h ago

The problem is that Mario Kart 8 is P2P 😭😭😭

Shit is some hot ass

3

u/Kryslor 13h ago

Yeah, that one is a legit complaint because it makes the game much worse

7

u/MakingaJessinmyPants 16h ago

But then what are they charging for

-4

u/IgorRossJude 13h ago

Matchmaking servers and hosting player stats data, not to mention the virtual consoles that come with the sub

1

u/GimmickMusik1 16h ago

Generally yes, but I’ve never had an issue with Mario Kart.

u/CauliflowerUpper6577 14h ago

Don't know what you guys are talking about, I've noticed little to no lag for my online

u/nathderbyshire 12h ago

Mario Karts 8 can be a terrible experience. Apparently it's better on WiFi but I lost my USB to ethernet adapter and haven't gotten a new one yet. Didn't realise there was a version of the switch without an ethernet port 😫

Granted it shouldn't matter, GTA 5 and any other online game works fine, it's just mario kart

u/Fallen_winged_boy 18h ago

Nintendo switch online is the best because you can play retro games

5

u/IxeyaSwarm 18h ago

Ah, yes. With the "retro" price that hasn't changed since release /s

-6

u/Fallen_winged_boy 17h ago

What do you mean? They are all free if you pay the 20 dollars a year

9

u/Xarenta 17h ago

so... not free

5

u/IxeyaSwarm 17h ago

Lol, it's okay. They also think their Disney+ plus subscription is free. They just have to sign in with their parents' email.

2

u/Fallen_winged_boy 12h ago

Whaaaaaaaaat? 🇪🇸

1

u/Fallen_winged_boy 12h ago

Comparing it to 160 dollars a year for play station it's almost free

1

u/MakingaJessinmyPants 16h ago

they are all free if you pay

u/Fallen_winged_boy 12h ago

He was saying 20 dollars a year for playing online + playing almost all the retro games for multiple platforms was too much because retro games price were too high but in fact you don't have to pay more for playing those games but just the base price, they could have just decided to make you pay only for the online service and not adding those retro consoles. I know it's not free but it's the cheapest out there and gives so many things compared to other consoles, maybe Xbox gives more things but it does cost more. Also I'm not a Nintendo shill or whatever it's called, I'm not trying to defend any multi-million dollar company, it's just facts. I play mostly on pc and probably I won't even buy a switch 2

u/Vrazel106 22h ago

So you need the sub and to pay for the game itself at 80$ a piece?

5

u/dsj762 19h ago

The sub fee for Nintendo is only $20 for a full year. It's still not zero but you also don't need it for a lot of games.

9

u/Yur1n4M00n 22h ago

You would need to do the same for PS or xBox games. Elden Ring has online function which only works if you have Ps Plus on the playstation as an example. (PC is just better if you wanna play online)

16

u/RefrigeratorBest959 21h ago

pc is better for everything

4

u/Money_Echidna2605 21h ago

the difference is that ps and xbox online actually functions.

5

u/Hades2580 21h ago

It’s even funnier than that, because Nintendo has no online sever dedicated to playing and uses peer-to-peer connection, meaning they make you pay for your own internet.

5

u/SuperEstablishment29 21h ago

Xbox first party games are included with your subscription though.

6

u/C-Star 21h ago

Slight clarification on this. Xbox First Party games are available with a subscription on Xbox, not every game that is on Xbox. The Elden Ring example above is true on both Xbox and PS.

Also Not every Xbox first party game is available on Xbox’s cheapest subscription.

2

u/isntaken 21h ago

PC is just better

could have left it at that, we get ps4 and xbox games

1

u/Yur1n4M00n 20h ago

looks at Bloodborne 🥲

3

u/darmera 19h ago

shadps4 already here, you can beat Bloodborne on PC if you can tolerate occasional crashes and low framerate (below 60 on mid PC)

1

u/Yur1n4M00n 19h ago

It is there? Haven't heard a while of it but sounds great

1

u/darmera 19h ago

You can check /r/shadps4 yourself, top post literally about beating the game

1

u/Yur1n4M00n 18h ago

I see, I just didn't know about the emulator in general 😅 just watched some streamers who were talking about it. Thanks tho!

2

u/shez19833 14h ago

you DONT need to pay for the game.. DONT BUY.. low demand = low prices.. hopefully but i know some idiots will be at the door waiting.. just HOLD OUT for couple of weeks

2

u/Aware_Tree1 21h ago

Literally every console you have to pay for online service

7

u/Stargost_ 20h ago

"but that's with every console" the Steam Deck doesn't charge you a dime for either online functionality or cloud storage.

1

u/Yur1n4M00n 20h ago

I don't own one and isn't the steam deck more of a portable pc anyway? Or does it still fall under consoles?

6

u/Stargost_ 19h ago

I'd say it is a console with PC functionality, like if the Xbox allowed you to access its files and sideload with ease from its GUI.

5

u/Upstairs-Yak-5474 23h ago

oh never played ps5 games online cause i have a pc i just play last of us and god of war ect on it. i never knew u needed a subscription for online games to function properly that seems odd but i guess its like $20 for the entire year is pretty cheap but it lowkey feels like it should be free

-2

u/hydroxyl_groups 20h ago

lol. Try almost $20/month. You also need to pay for internet, electricity, and a monitor/tv. 

2

u/Free_Range_Gamer 19h ago

On Xbox you do not need a subscription to use voice chat or cloud saves. It’s just for playing multiplayer games, but the other basic online functions are free.

1

u/ViftieStuff 19h ago

And it's shit on every console. Steam let's me play online for free.

1

u/MFish333 18h ago

That's a thing on all consoles? Damn why do people still use those

1

u/SteveMartin32 18h ago

Meanwhile PC is free. ALL HAIL THE PC MASTER RACE!!!

1

u/endingcomessoon 17h ago

Steam > Nintendo > Xbox > Playstation

1

u/norty125 14h ago

Laughs in PC

1

u/I_follow_sexy_gays 12h ago

2nd maybe 3rd because it’s free to play online on PC

They use peer to peer for switch 90% of the time so no idea why they even charge (i know exactly why actually)

1

u/dragondont 10h ago

So the new feature is what ps and Xbox had for a decade. Good job Nintendo for innovating

1

u/Kenobi_High_Ground 4h ago

You need subscription for online games/function but that's with every console. Nintendo has either cheapest or 2nd cheapest (idk xBox prices).

Steam Deck has it built in for free

1

u/Klinger1759 18h ago

Nintendo is by far the cheapest, lol. $35 for a base family membership.
