    I wanted to get a switch lite so I could leave my oled at home to play with friends and fam or just whenever but I’m not sure if I could just have my account on both? Or is it a hassle to switch account over each time

    They may do the same thing on the newest console because millions of people are buying it so it was make since for Nintendo to do it again which hopefully they wouldn’t do it but the chances are the online service will be on the new console

    For a paid online service online smash bros should have a double digit frame rate

    I had Xbox, PlayStation for the longest and ever since I gotten a Switch, it’s so much better, I was tired of spending hella money on the online for those consoles but Switch is so cheap when it comes to online service. Literally worth it. Idc if Nintendo online was free before, it’s still mad cheap

    I had many purchase the yearly membership for me since switch online was a pay wall. After four years, the answer is always no, the whole "it just only $20" does not justify terrible online, especially when Microsoft and Sony has better paid online. The service is even useless for individuals who grew up with Nintendo and has a vass library of games / collectables with retro Nintendo games etc. All the download perks are purchase day one for titles of those who are interested in said titles.

    Gather 7 friends.
    You understand I'm a person who wants to play the Nintendo Switch. ONLINE.
    Friends were never an option

    I literally got one (end of 2023) and just paid $20 for online, how long has it been a pay thing?
