NINTENDO CONFIRM:monthly 'FREE' game only available for a MONTH,mario kart MAYBE free to play ONLINE

[Deltron]

this has been known since the presentation

 

[winb83]

asking customers to pay for online yet offering less than other companies, you don't see the problem there?

I don't because it's Nintendo who has never complied with industry standards in the first place.

they did with nes and snes, what are you talking about

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Nintendo is far behind in online stuff.

They will take a while to catch up

 

[winb83]

they did with nes and snes, what are you talking about

It's 2017 are you really bringing up shyt from the late 80s and early 90s like it's still relevant to what's going on now? For at least 20 years Nintendo has done whatever they want industry be damned and even before they they were doing what they wanted but due to lack of competition they set the industry standard with their own actions

Nintendo has never really complied with the way others do stuff.

Nintendo is absolutely pathetic

I was thinking, Nintendo would be insane to charge people to play Mario kart on switch when the same game is FREE on the wiiU, so I headed over to the Nintendo website and found some interesting wording

Give an example of Nintendo complying with an industry standard practice verbatim without doing their own thing.

Nintendo has always done its own thing. That's why they're in the position they're in presently because of non-conformance to industry standards.

they didn't do there own thing with nes and snes

 

[winb83]

they didn't do there own thing with nes and snes

Except they were doing their own thing there too. The difference was back then Nintendo was the industry. They set the standard. Outside of the Sega Genesis what real competitor did they have back then? The Genesis was outsold by almost 20 million units. They weren't really a problem.

If you're the only real player in the game you can do whatever you want and it's industry standard practice by default.
