you don't get an invite if you're not in the game, both people have to be running the game.
I get that, but what happens if someone chooses me to play with? Or do both of us have to be in the Online part of the menu when my friend chooses me to play with? I don't get it since I don't have the game yet :/

I know everyone is having fun, but if Ariana posting about playing online with switch drives even a few thousand of her fans to buy a console, it's a win for Nintendo, hell, even Ariana just mentioning it is a win

She included a Yoshi sprite gif in the bottom right, confirming Yoshi GOAT status.
Tax evader status confirmed.

Hmmm nintendo you sure you have nothing to do with this?
lol, you think nintendo paid her to complain that she can't figure out how to play online and needs help? if this was paid she would be like "having a blast playing mario kart 8 deluxe on my nintendo switch® system, OMG. swipe up to get your mario kart 8 bundle"

you both have to be in the online lobby and find each other there. it's not very complicated, once you get the game you'll figure it out. there's just no system-level invites, so you have to arrange it via text or whatever, but once both people are online and in-game, it's easy to start playing.

Wait I'm sorry, HER MOM joined her lobby?
lol yeah, that's joan grande, her mom. she tagged her and the mii looks like her.

I see, yeah I suppose it's one of those things that'll be much easier to figure out once you try it, rather than reading about it. I might grab the game a couple of weeks after Smash comes out, I need to give Smash the time it deserves.

I'm enjoying this small trend of Reset now knowing who Popstars are. If recent threads had been "Lady Gaga/AG just broke up with their boyfriend" news stories, we'd get the too cool for school responses on the first page like "who?".

Yeah ,but that sounds like an obvious ad, it would be better ad if you make a celebrity acting as they genuinely play it without the cheesy lines above.

It was an exaggeration, but Nintendo isn't dumb enough to make an ad where the person can't figure the thing out. That's like an anti-ad

Cool to see games getting majorly mainstream. Previously, I'm sure a lot of celebs got told that talking about it/admitting it would be looked down upon. Since it's bigger and more socially acceptable(As in not a geek thing), everyone can say they're playing them.

More the better! Well, except trump, please stay away forever.

IIRC she is a known gamer?


Which is why I'm a bit suspicious of this post. Nintendo Online literally just came out of nowhere, if you don't follow them, which is realistically possible for her but she is also friends with celebrities who also game so she should know already or more importantly didn't need to know from her fans.

I'm also suspicious because there is noteworthy trend of celebrities using social media without disclosing they've been contracted to promote a product by a company and considering she should be knowledgeable enough or already be in contact with knowledgeable people this is potentially one of those marketing stunts.

I guess Ariana Grande, like a normal gamer outside of Era, is seemingly less concerned and edgy over online subs and friend codes than some people are in Era
I don't get it. Why would someone managing to play online invalidate legitimate criticisms about a online service ? What a weird fanboyish thing to say. Imagine being that defensive.

I fundamentally disagree with the trend to charge for online services when it comes to multiplayer, however who gets to define what is and is not a legitimate criticism? If most people don't view it as a problem is it really a problem?

Ariana might be a gamer but she will never be a pro Nintendo enthusiast like Paris Hilton.

When will she advertise the Switch? It could use the boost.

Her inbox must have exploded after posting that, more so that it usually does considering 120 million followers. I can't even imagine what it's like to have 1000 followers, let alone that many.

i, a nobody, have 1800 #humblebrag
she probably wasn't looking for answers from followers, but sending a signal to close friends, she's not gonna read DMs from randos.
