i have a question do u need to pay the $20 subscription community fee to communicate with people online or find lobbies along with the $80 to get mario kart?

like whats the community fee for its seems like discord but nintendo

[u/Yur1n4M00n → u/Upstairs-Yak-5474]

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 → u/Yur1n4M00n]

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

[u/Ninja0verkill → u/Jealous_Answer3147]

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 → u/Ninja0verkill]

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 → u/stunt876]

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

[u/LWIAYMAN → u/stunt876]

Old console games.

[u/stunt876 → u/LWIAYMAN]

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

[u/Kryslor → u/Ninja0verkill]

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

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

Shit is some hot ass

[u/Kryslor → u/LunchTwey]

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

[u/MakingaJessinmyPants → u/Kryslor]

But then what are they charging for

[u/IgorRossJude → u/MakingaJessinmyPants]

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

[u/GimmickMusik1 → u/Jealous_Answer3147]

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

[u/CauliflowerUpper6577 → u/Jealous_Answer3147]

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

[u/nathderbyshire → u/Jealous_Answer3147]

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 → u/Jealous_Answer3147]

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

[u/IxeyaSwarm → u/Fallen_winged_boy]

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

[u/Fallen_winged_boy → u/IxeyaSwarm]

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

[u/Xarenta → u/Fallen_winged_boy]

so... not free

[u/IxeyaSwarm → u/Xarenta]

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

[u/Fallen_winged_boy → u/IxeyaSwarm]

Whaaaaaaaaat? 🇪🇸

[u/Fallen_winged_boy → u/Xarenta]

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

[u/MakingaJessinmyPants → u/Fallen_winged_boy]

they are all free if you pay

Brother

[u/Fallen_winged_boy → u/MakingaJessinmyPants]

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
