The direct was overall not very exciting, and the online service for the Switch is showing how much Nintendo is out of touch when it comes to online. Not only are they still trying to push that stupid ass online app for voice-chat, but it's been confirmed that certain games like Splatoon 2, Pokemon Let's GO Pikachu and Eevee, and certain third party games are not going to support cloud saves. Even worse, Nintendo is having it be an opt-in feature for third party developers, and not have it being a requirement for all their games.

aside from the final fantasy games i'm actually looking forward to the new animal crossing after the boring "amiibo festival" game we got on the wii u. i'm hoping luigi's mansion 3 will go back to the exploration of the entire mansion and not having mission based levels like dark moon had.

It was mixed for me. I either already knew what was coming or just wasn't my thing. The online service while good priced, doesn't deliver on what the fans truly want. We want dedicated servers for online multiplayer. Once you dig deeper into the details, you find a lot of problems. Oh those NES controllers that were good? Nintendo Online member exclusive.

the only thing i'm questioning at the moment is how the NES games will work. will we get to download them all at once or will we only get to choose a limited number, or just download one at a time to play? as for the nes controllers, i'll just wait for them to sell at a cheaper price, godforbid the bundle is close to the price of an nes classic.

Personally, I'd recommend this as a cheaper alternative to the official NES controllers Nintendo is charging.

I'm probably going to wait until the 8BitDo controller I ordered arrives before I check it out. However, I might just try the trail version. Not sure if I want to support the service yet with how much they have been dropping the ball on it. At least the 8BitDo NES controller I will be using will also support other games like Mega Man Legacy Collection and Shovel Knight. Something Nintendo's official NES controllers will not support.

to update it's been said that three titles will be added each month. sounds like a serious downgrade compared to the wii virtual console where we got like two the three gams in a week. but at least we're getting metroid next month, so that's something i guess.
