Nintendo SWITCH (OLED Model) Information II - Fastest Second Console Thread of All Time

**Prothescar** · 2018-09-08 17:06

Some games will not support cloud saving with Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo's reasoning:

Update (8:54 p.m. CT): Nintendo responded to our request for comment, stating that the lack of cloud saves is because of item duplication possibilities.
"The vast majority of Nintendo Switch games will support Save Data Cloud backup. However, in certain games this feature would make it possible to, for example, regain items that had been traded to other players, or revert to a higher online multiplayer ranking that had been lost. To ensure fair play, Save Data Cloud backup may not be enabled for such games. To ensure that Save Data Cloud backups cannot be used to unfairly affect online multiplayer rankings, the feature will not be enabled in Splatoon 2."

Basically fuck you if you want to save your game like every other console can do. Extremely draconian ultra conservative security measures prevent it from becoming a reality.

Mean while, those of us with a hacked switch can already upload/download/edit saves, and they work online lmao. Including splatoon 2.

**Madeline** · 2018-09-08 18:44

Splatoon is already really small community-wise. This shit's gonna suck. If not because mommy's credit card is off limits, because people really don't want to pay for their shitty peer to peer online with no support for the game any-damn-way.

I'm on the fence. $20 is nothing, I love Splatoon. But I fucking hate everything about the way they're handling this. I dunno, I may just hack it and say fuck it. I've been holding off because I don't want to risk a ban when I play online exclusively.

**Shenrien** · 2018-09-08 19:45

be excited to pay for what you're already playing for free btw.

Ditto, I love Splatoon 2 but this just seems like a low blow. Now paying for peer-to-peer and doubtful we'll see any improvements for matchmaking or disbanding that god awful mobile app

**Prothescar** · 2018-09-11 00:13

The new wireless Hori controllers sound pretty fucking dope. Hope they're coming out around the same time as Smash. For ppl who don't follow the usual news outlets:

-$49.99 price point
-Has gyro control which most 3rd party controllers generally don't
-Unknown on HD Rumble and NFC, probably not
-Turbo function
-Reprogrammable back buttons, potentially paddles like on a SCUF/xbox elite controller

Might be the first one I'm interested in buying since I got my 8bitdo SNES one. Guess we'll see how those paddles/buttons pan out. Also hoping it'll come without the gaudy ass designs that have been put out there so far:

Spoiler: show

**Eragon** · 2018-09-11 03:07

Oo that's a good price. To anyone with the wired ones, do they feel like Xbox controllers? I've been using the Wii U pro controller with an adapter but would really prefer something that was more comfortable to hold.

**Kirin** · 2018-09-11 13:26

Theres been a few announcements today involving Nintendo from some outside developers that basically equate to "stay tuned for something on the 13th". Likely the day that the direct will take place.

Both Japan and WW fans seem to be increasingly frustrated over no news the past few days. I would be surprised if they don't have a formal announcement tomorrow AM EST.

**6souls** · 2018-09-11 15:32

Rumor: Direct Rescheduled for Thursday

**Corrderio** · 2018-09-11 16:03

Thinking more about it, what are the odds this will be about just Switch Online?

Maybe it'll be the focus, but I doubt they could dedicate a full direct to it unless there's a lot more they hadn't shown/told us yet.

If it is I really hope they blow it out of the water. I know I'm going to subscribe for the sake of Splatoon 2 but it still feels like players are getting shafted hard.

**Scythiroth** · 2018-09-11 19:48

I think all of the console online services are just very obvious cash grabs and I really hate all of the "extra stuff" they offer to help justify the cost when I never care about any of it and just wish I could play online for free. I expect nothing else from Nintendo to justify their paid online and fully expect it to still just be the same service it is now but now costs money. Kind of just hoping the direct avoids the topic entirely, but with the paid online so soon, I'm sure it will at least show up.

**Xno Kappa** · 2018-09-11 19:49

I half expect them to announce they’re shutting down the Wii U SMM servers and moving it behind a paywall for the Switch as “extra stuff.”

I'm actually surprised there has not been a major leak considering this is a week past due.

Wondering if there is a smash reveal or not now.

**Zalrik21** · 2018-09-13 00:01

Dont know if people saw this yet or not.

Nintendo really is so archaic

**Hitou** · 2018-09-13 01:33

Lame, so people can no longer transfer accounts to a new switch in the future?
