Play games from your Nintendo Account on two Switch units at the same time by turning off wifi on your primary Switch​

You'd think that a company so meticulous in its design phylosophy, so protective of its IP, so clever, would have caught this during testing.  It's like Nintendo Online is a whole seperate company run by monkeys.

It's so you can keep playing games even when not connected to the internet. Most people would argue it's a good thing.

This doesn't fill me with a sense of pride and/or accomplishment...

I started playing Splatoon2 recently again (hey, if I'm payin', I might as well be playin').  WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO STARFISH MAINSTAGE?  Like a quarter of that stage has been totaly changed.  

I've also found a new weapon I really like: the wonderfully named bloblobber.  It's a bucket type weapon, but instead of splashes of ink, it lobs blobs that bounce ahead a bit before disappearing!  It's a joyous thing, allowing the wielder to bounce the bubbles off walls and effectively shoot around corners.  I never thought I'd get used to a weapon that requires you to pull the trigger for every shot, but this one is such a gamechanger and a joy to use.  The secondary weapon is my old time favorite, the splatwall, giving the weapon a pretty good defensive option.  The special is the cloud of rain, which, while not very usefull, is annoying for the other team and it loads pretty fast, meaning I can deploy it a couple of times per match.  And best of all, the thing looks like an urinal bowl.  

Also, when googling for an image, apparently the Splatoon community got in a fit over it when it launched, claiming it's overpowered.  I can see where they're coming from, but I don't think it's more powerfull than some other weapons or classes in the game.  I'm looking at you, rollers.  

edit: it apears to look more like a bubble bath, which still is pretty cool if you ask me.  Not urinal cool, but cool nontheless.

We Like To Grumble, But Switch Online Is Actually   A Very Generous Offer

This editorial claims that Switch Online isn't a bad deal and compares it to the more expensive PS and Xbone offers.  Honestly, with the competition, it's as if you're paying a yearly subscription to free games, and all the rest is just added benefit.  The same can't be said for Nintendo's offer.

That weapon is a game changer. Honestly I have played Salmon run so much there has been tons and tons of added stuff, including stages. Playing Splatoon 2 today is completely different than launch day. The amount of content they added is awesome.

I think the price difference is huge for me. Paying £50 a year for online would be far more than I would be comfortable with. The free games is great, but I don't play enough to even take advantage of it. So for me, basic but cheap is the best option.

^ it's not so bad as to be insulting if you need just one subscription. It's a good deal if a lot of people in your household play on Switch. But for me, on a 2 account household, €35 a year for what amounts to very little does seem too expensive.

Why do you need two accounts in the same household? I thought anyone in the house could use the same account? That's what I heard.

Irony of the day:

Grammaton in era in the RDR2 thread responding to some guy that feels some people hate everything and don't let you enjoy games

"There's a subsection of people always ready to jump on and deride a particular franchise, developer or platform and frankly, they are easy to spot and even easier to ignore."

Pretty neat

How on earth can paying for Nintendo's terrible online service be a good deal? It's a bad enough deal with Xbox Live and Playstation Plus.
