Bought it for my sons. They love it So
Nah, I don't agree with the people ignoring Nintendo's online offerings. That's like the most consistent thing I see blasted around the net here included. I don't see anyone going "Well at least we have online..". The Switch's online right now is barebones and really needs a revamp by the time it launches.Another thing Nintendo can get away with that would destroy any other company.
Psn was trashed last gen for being sub par and it was free. Nintendo is announcing prices for a online service that's damn near non existant. Nobody really cares, I didnt even know It couldn't download simple entertainment apps like youtube and Netflix, or a simple internet browser when I bought it.

You can just use GameCube controllers for extra players if you have some lying around. They'll be releasing the adaptors again soon.One thing that reminded about access of this system was the Smash reveal. We can have 8 players on at a time. Now if I have my friends over and we all want to play I have to go out and buy 4 joycon sets.
With their Vita memory card pricing on the Joycon and accessories for basic controllers, I don't see the justification.
That was my complaint upon launch and it hasn't wavered.
I feel like the main reason people prefer the gamecube controller for smash is the button layout. It feels weird with the a being where the x button is and b being where the a button is on a gamecube controller.You can just use GameCube controllers for extra players if you have some lying around.

I think most prefer to play on Gamecube controllers anyway
I don't think it's fair or sensible to judge a game and dock points solely because of it's online mode. Smash Bros Wii U/3DS at it's core is a party game/fighting game that can be enjoyed locally with much more content there. The core mechanics, the content, the presentation, the gameplay basically everything that holds the game together is tight. It's not an online only game like say Destiny or Overwatch where the main tenant of the game is what's being reviewed here.I'm talking critically.
If Sony or Microsoft treated online gaming and entertainment like Nintendo has been for three console cycles now, they would have been on their way out of the gaming industry.
I only ever hear about how trash Nintendo online service is on the coli.
If any other fighting game released with a online mode as laggy, broken, bare bones as super smash bros, they would have gotten significantly lower review scores across the board. Yet both brawl and smash 4 is sitting at 93 overall critics score. shytty online unmentioned or barely talked about.
Smash bros is a multiplayer game first and foremost, it's not comparable to uncharted, which has always been a single player story driven game with online multiplayer as a bonus. Street fighter, mortal kombat, and other fighting are a better comparison.I don't think it's fair or sensible to judge a game and dock points solely because of it's online mode.

It'd be like docking points for Uncharted 4 because the online launched barebones, buggy and at times and still till to this day has some issues that hasn't been resolved. The two aren't comparable.
I think it's definitely fine to criticize online for a fighting game but the reality is if you've ever read fighting game reviews, most reviewers don't test online before they review the game.I don't think it's fair or sensible to judge a game and dock points solely because of it's online mode.
