New Nintendo Direct: Lots of Ports, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Animal Crossing

[A Black Falcon]

So, two not-good updates thanks to this article: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-...-nes-games

- Cloud saves will not be kept if your subscription runs out, they will be deleted immediately apparently. Or maybe not, but Nintendo won't promise to keep them, anyway. Not good.
- Playing the NES games requires a weekly online checkin, they will stop working after a week of not being online. Online checkin is something Microsoft was hit really hard for on the Xbox One, until they finally gave up on it, but while it makes sense for an online game, requiring it for NES games is kind of ridiculous!


Also, I forgot to mention one thing, that Nintendo is making NES-looking controllers for the Switch. That sounds great and they look nice, but... well, they will apparently only be available to subscribers of the online service, cost $60 for a pair of two (which recharge like Joycons, attached to your Switch, but have to be detached to use), and might even ONLY work in the NES games! Oh come on Nintendo, way to ruin a good idea...
