Dedicated Servers: Xbox One and PS4 still do P2P mostly, and having dedicated servers is a pain to Nintendo to implement and maintain for every online multiplayer game, and is a pain for end users due to lag, and how servers can dump everybody when a single user drops out. What happens when there’s high server traffic? or a DDOS attack like the one in 2014?

System level voice chat: look at yourself in the mirror wearing a headset, look at the guy manning the drive thru or cash register of your favorite fast food resteraunt, look at those few people wearing mic-enabled headsets walking about, look up how much that headset costs, and understand NOT everybody wants to spend close to, or over $100/€100 on a headset, or owns a headset. Another thing; someone being disgustingly vulgar in something like Smash Ultimate? you can just mute them, but do you want to interupt your gameplay experience by going through submenus on your system while playing? Or just mute them at the touch of their icon on the spot at half the time and effort?

Virtual Console: look up the prices for the games on each platform; organize how many games you have on each platform, factor in the Wii to Wii U upgrade, and see how much money you wasted within the course of 10 years, and compare that to the 12-month membership fee of Nintendo Switch Online.

Online Achievement/Trophy systems: Do we really need them outside of Bragging to and Ragging others?

System Message Boards: Miiverse was a thing, and PSN and XBL’s sevices were full of those man babies/reckless kids being totally immoral, sexist, sadistic, gross, and being... too mean for their own good. Arlo did a video on Miiverse not being on Switch, and look up Extra Credit’s video on Harassment while your at it, to see what I mean.

Internet Browser: Switch is a gaming system, not a tablet, or something to be exploited like Wii U, we have these things on our smartphones, and devices that call themselves “tablets”.

EVERY game using Save Data Cloud back up: Do that and what’s the point of catching Pokémon next year where you can just buy a Legendary, rare OP pocket monster from someone who uses both online trading, and exploits save data by backing up again and again? It’s wasn’t Nintendo’s execs that made the decision; it was The Pokémon Company’s decision.

People demanding all of this: They are like a kid who dosen’t get what he/she wants and is violent about it because she/he did not specified what he/she wanted exactly and not talking it over with her/his (grand)parents/guardian/relatives. Fans could of reached out to a rep or something to express what they wanted ‘exactly’ out of this whole service and get an idea what Nintendo as a whole thinks about it while understanding and getting a reasonable expectation. In other words; share your requests with a Nintendo rep via email and see what the company thinks and why. If your going to write a review about the app, don’t treat it like an extension of a comment on YouTube!

My expectation: The introduction of Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Nintendo Switch Online and Game Boy: Nintendo Switch Online sometime in the next year, overall tweaking, refinement, and improvement of the system’s online Peer to Peer abilities, and continue to improve the concept of using the phone app and making the point WHY it’s better than the old fashioned way, and even allow people to link their Discord accounts.
