Well he has ranted a ton about current paper mario.He says nothing new, but it's interesting to see someone who's usually pretty Nintendo-positive to rant like this.
Eh, Arlo's pretty quick to call Nintendo out on stuff he doesn't agree with. His channel gained popularity largely because of very critical videos on Paper Mario and Hey! Pikmin. I usually like that he's pretty fair about the good and the bad, though his dislike for motion controls is sometimes annoying with how often he brings it up and frames them as objectively bad.He says nothing new, but it's interesting to see someone who's usually pretty Nintendo-positive to rant like this.
Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate are all certainly killer aps. Yes the first two have been available for free, but we've known since before the Switch launched that they weren't going to be that way for long."Hey, lets have them pay for something they've been getting for free all these years without also having a killer app to justify the product" just feels wrong.
Smash comes out in December."Hey, lets have them pay for something they've been getting for free all these years without also having a killer app to justify the product" just feels wrong.
Smash comes out in December.
Probably not the smartest way of handling it, but Smash likely got pushed back a bit for whatever reason.

Yea, but now splatoon 2 doesn't even have a server so it's paying for the same shoddy online.Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate are all certainly killer aps.

He does live shows and greets people in person (in puppet?)Why is he a sock puppet? Is he also a sock puppet at his own convention? Does he lay underneath the table all afternoon?
Youtube is weird.
Maybe, but the program was already pushed back a ton.Could have just waited untill then for Switch online too. Not like we'd be missing much.
KJust tired of the whole YouTube culture.
Must make the wackiest looking thumbnail!
Don't forget to add an ALL-CAPS TITLE!!
Should I post as a person or an off-brand Muppet?
Oh, well.

What does that really have to do with YouTube culture? He has a character he uses for his channel, people like it, and the thumbnail gets the point of the video across pretty well. Nothing about YouTube "culture" in that thumbnail. He ain't Jake Paul or any other hype beast.Just tired of the whole YouTube culture.

What is even weirder is that it's obviously the man BEHIND the puppet that talks to us. Not the character. It's the man, talking to us sometimes about his family, about his history as a gamer, etc. But he still keeps talking with his puppet voice and using the puppet, despite talking to us about some very personal things, not acting like "hey I'm Arlo, I'm a muppet that loves playing video games!"Why is he a sock puppet?

I think he does it for his children, I've seen a video where they were super happy to see Arlo. But it's still weird that it's definitely the man behind the puppet that just use the puppet as an avatar instead of a character.
No please, I needed cooud saves ASAP, now I can rest easy knowing my saves are safe.Could have just waited untill then for Switch online too. Not like we'd be missing much.
This list sums up a big problem with Switch online. There aren't a ton of big multiplayer games to begin with. You listed 3 (two of which are well over a year old and the third isnt even out), and I'd struggle to name a whole lot outside of those. Conversely, just in the next few weeks PS4/Xbox are getting games like Black Ops, WWE, Soul Caliber, and Red Dead all with Online. The list really pales in comparison on Switch.Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate are all certainly killer aps.

Waiting until december would have been disastrous
Can't see how the online can get any worse than how it's been before for smash.I was under the impression that dedicated servers were actually worse for games like Smash.
Splatoon doesn't have a server, so you're not paying to even get a server for it.It still blows my damn mind the level of outrage this service is getting for a $20 annual subscription.
You're paying for servers. Yes it was free but we always knew the online service was going to switch to a paid model.
For a third of the price of the other console services, you're getting nearly the exact quality of life. Outside of third party games being free for the month, I'm not sure what quality of life improvements folks want to see to the online service. It seems the essence of criticisms are "I don't want to pay to play games"
I'm not currently subscribed to NSO but if I wanted to play splatoon or whatever I'd have no qualms dishing out $4 to do so.
From my understanding, peer-to-peer is preferred for 1v1, which makes netcode the real problem.Can't see how the online can get any worse than how it's been before for smash.
All because a service is cheaper doesnt mean we can as customers demand a quality service thats up to modern standards. Its rediculous how many people give this a pass.
More excuses.

Switch online is certainly very mediocre compared to Xbox Live and PSN, but I care more about those three games than the entirety of basically all other online console games. I bought an Xbox One X and Xbox Live for Monster Hunter World, and haven't played anything else online with it because the games just don't interest me. I recognize this isn't the case for most other people, but Switch online is the better value proposition for me specifically.This list sums up a big problem with Switch online.

Funny enough, the one big upcoming game with online on Switch is Mario Party which has very mediocre online implementation.
Oh yeah because I totally schedule when can people rob me, or when can my Switch fall and break, or when can my Switch drown.Were you planning on losing your Switch somewhere between now and December? You've had it however long you've had it up to now, what would a few more months hurt? Besides, these are cloud saves nobody other than Nintendo can access.
No we're not. And to make it worse they made it so the only way to backup your saves is to pay them money to do so. It's a shit service with shit intentions.
I can see where you're coming from and I'm pretty similar, but we're clearly in an incredibly small minority so it's hardly worth noting.Switch online is certainly very mediocre compared to Xbox Live and PSN, but I care more about those three games than the entirety of basically all other online console games.
