Here's your new Nintendo handheld that won't let you play your games without an internet connection!
Still buying a Switch 2 and Galaxy remasters
>>722188776So what's the point of all the physicalfags screeching when every game requires downloads anyway?
>>722190335they're terrified of a future where somehow we don't have internet but also very much need to play nintendo games
>>722188776Gay tendies always get raped, shit always backfires on the raped bunch.
>>722190237No you won't. You won't do shit
>>722190447And the fact that Nintendo will shut the servers down so you can't play them. Like the Wii, 3DS and WiiU shops. And just re-release them on a new shiny store for another 60 bucks
LmfaoooTendies getting shit in by their friends Nintendo is my favorite genre.
>>722190573Yeah I will. It's your thread that isn't doing shit it seems.
>>722190447i don't even need the internet to play digital games for the most part. 30 years of video games and the emulators/cracks required to run them will fit on one hard drive.
>>722188776Is /v/ really too young to know that the PSP used to do that as well? New releases always needed the most recent firmware. Back then, devs were forced to include that firmware on their UMDs because a good chunk of users didn't have wifi yet but the concept was the same.
>>722190708The only thing you’re capable of doing is being a faggot attention whore who’s too poor to buy the console he’s sucking off.
>>722190934Numbnuts, the cartridge doesn’t have the fucking firmware on it now does it.
>>722191061It does
Damn... think of all the poor people posting on /v/ without internet... life can be so cruel...
>>722191112So did you just ignore the OP?
>>722191112>>722191061They're downloading some compatibility layer shit that they're being very careful to not include on the cartridge to keep the Switch 2's bussy from being torn open immediately. Not really a firmware.
>>722191000Being called poor doesn't bother me since I'm not poor. Still buying a Switch 2 btw.
>>722188776My man, how is you accessing the internet right now? STOP THE GRIFT FOR INTERNET ClICKS!
>>722188776>requiring an internet connection to play 20 year old Wii games they’re overcharging for How do Nintendo Adults keep letting shitendo get away with it
>>722190237>>722190708>Still buying a Switch 2Then why haven't you?You had Mario Kart and DK since months ago, so you should have already gotten one by now if you cared so much.
>>722192206this is a very anti-semitic image
>>722192219I'm waiting for a limited edition skin. Also my answer won't change no matter how many times you ask me.
>>722192206Because us Nintendo adults aren't poor like you are. Hope this helps.
>>722192434But you're retarded and you have no problem with paying $70 for $9 games.
>>722188776>>722192206>never bought a switch 2>never bought a switch>never bought a wiiu>never bought a wii>never bought a 3ds>never bought a gamecubeFeels good to have never given Nintendo money. I'll play their games through an emulator though.
>>722190237You've been wanting to buy one for several weeks of threads now, i don't think you ever are.
>>722192563>>722192434
>>722188776>Xbox shits itself again>quick! let's make an anti-Nintendo threadPathetic
>>722192619You're allowed to think that about me
>>722190665you can still download your purchased games on all of thoseis there actually a single console that's actually completely cut the cord on everything? I'm picturing in the theoretical scenario where all this actually gets cut down you will have far more existential problems such as simply having electricity at all
>>722190665Literally never happened
>>722188776You'd think for how long it takes Nintendo to adopt this shit they'd jump the chasm for how shitty it is, instead they fall right in. Smash Bros gets online 15 years after online gaming is achieved on console, and it's as bad as it was 15 years prior.Nintendo does this "NO UPDATE NO PLAY" digital license shit, it's as bad as when it was first introduced.I bet they still use landline phones.....
>>722192590I tried emulating 3ds games, thery were slow as hell. Even on a good PC I couldn't fly around in ORAS. It's worth 100 bucks just to be able to homebrew everything and play whatever you want on actual hardware.
>>722188776Are pirates retarded? New games always needed new firmware to boot
>>722192845Stuff bought on the OG Xbox’s marketplace can’t be redownloaded, like Battlefront or Halo 2 map packs. Maybe if the game is BC on 360, you can redownload it there from your purchase history, but I’m not sure.Also not a console, but anything purchased through the dogshit GFWL marketplace cannot be redownloaded since around 2017 (they “abandoned” GFWL in 2013, but you could at least still download your bought games and DLC). Some items like the Battlestations Pacific map pack is gone forever because it was never put on Steam lol.
>>722192206Its almost like, the economy changes in 10 years. Woah!
>>722193447Whenever an update has been needed to play a game, it's been on the disc or cartridge. You didn't have to go online.
>>722193071Bro they still use fax machines in Japan
>>722193698There hasn't been 300% inflation in 10 years.
>>722193703Guess you'll need internet in 2025
>>722192590>only had Nintendo console growing up>dad got me a subscription to Nintendo Power, have literally every issue>almost wasn't even allowed to have other consoles>RPGs stopped being on Nintendo with the PSX>eventually got PSX>liked PSX way more than N64, even if N64 was cool>pretty much never played Gamecube over PS2>only game I ever really played for Wii was Smash>never gave Nintendo any money since thenFeels good emulating any random Denuvo PC game I want to play on Switch though. God bless Nintendo for being so retarded, so easily emulateable, so easily jailbroken, so easily pirated, and god bless them the most for putting Denuvo games on their easily emulateable systems without Denuvo. Fuck everything related to actual Nintendo though. Fuck nuMario, fuck nuZelda, fuck nuMetroid, fuck all of it.
>>722193771Was this before or after Trump's crazy jewish tariffs that fucked over everybody?
>>722193703Firmware updates were like kbs or megabytes now it's hundreds of megabytes or more. Do you really want to waste cartridge space with that?
>>722193861Even after.
threadly reminder that george caciappo is a pederast
Just install the fucking update, what's the big deal? I swear these sonybros complain about everything.
>>722193943Only afterGet out of your bubble.
>>722192206>there are tendies in thread right now defending thisCrazy.
>>722188776>freaking out over new game releases requiring the latest system firmware>coming from a Twitter guy whose website enjoys making multiple entries of the same game SKU to inflate its stat numbers while still missing a gargantuan shitload of entries
>>722194068>>722192434
>>722194068Just download the update and shut the fuck up grandpa.
Wtf is this nigger talking about? The same thing happened with the switch lol. You had to update your firmware in order to play certain games. They are built for a specific SDK and firmware version.Suprise suprise you cant play Pokémon Legends (2023) on 2018 firmware on your switch.
>>722193920I want the physical game to be playable offline.
It's not a big deal.You are on the internet already, doomposting.I'm playing Galaxy 2 tonight at midnight.
>>722191061Literally every single Switch game cartridge comes with the firmware required to play the game on. Every single one.
And it'll still sell more than Digimon and Ghost of Soitei. Seethe and fucking cope.
>>722194068>Posts bullshit>Gets proven wrong>DUH TENDIEEES!Shut your fatass up.
This is the kind of artificial outrage that Nintendo haters have to stoop to. This is a nothing burger.
>>722194243I suppose the problem is it only contains the Switch 1 update, not the Switch 2 update.
>>722194206Just update your console. You are not living in the year 2080 after ww5, with no internet and with an outdated firmware.
Tendies mad
>>722194068Literally 2 posts sucking your ideology dick, relax.
ITT: Angry boomers who can't follow simple instructions.
>>722188776its literally been this way for 8 years
why don't carts come with the minimum required firmware on them for the console to install
>>722190237Obvious false flag is obvious
>>722194243People that used yuzu knew that. No idea why now it's something new. Literally fake outrage like other other anon said.
>>722192590We already know, Brazil
>>722193861tariffs mean nothingits the 92% increase in money supply that occurred during the pandemic and all of the PPP loan fraud and insane number of immigrants also trying to buy nintendo switches and ps5s
>>722194521Switch 1 games did it, but that's Switch 1 firmware. OP is talking about playing it on a Switch 2.
>>722193658>you can redownload it there from your purchase historyIs this true? I just hooked my 360 back up to the Internet and haven't been able to find where to download my old games. I know I've bought a ton of them but hell if I know where to find them.
>>722194220I'm playing galaxy 2 at a better resolution and framerate right now actually
Retards dont want to updoot incase the switch 2 gets hackedYou should have bought 2 of them you dumbasses
>>722194593Enjoy, PC vegan!
>>722192206The same way sony, Xbox, and pcfags did
It's funny how this wouldn't have happened had the game been S2 exclusive
>>722194620Oh, so it's a case of dishonest pirates being mad that they can't steal from Nintendo? Fuck them then.
>>722192590i'm sure you'll have a lot of fun playing switch 2 stuff on an emulatoroh wait kek
>>722194579It's a switch 1 game. Nintendo said that all the switch 2 stuff would be an update. Why are people retarded?
>>722194593Very cool, hope you have great time.
>>722194585Yeah you can definitely redownload your 360 content at least. From the dashboard, it’s in something like Settings>Account>Download HistoryI’m just not sure if stuff you bought on the OG Xbox can’t be downloaded there. It definitely can’t be downloaded on the OG Xbox
>>722194575>tariffs mean nothingEither uninformed or stupid, ether way you need to lurk more before posting again
>>722194723the switch 2 firmware still needs to be updated even for a newer sdk switch 1 game retard
>>722193698The games are already made lol. The cost of making these games was paid for 20 years ago lol. >it cost money to port itA fraction of the price lol. Nintendo is probably making 95% profit every time they sell one of these.
>>722188776>he bought
>>722194716I don't see anything for exclusives that looks interesting, maybe Zelda or Pokemon, but I can wait.
Nintendo antis proving they're uneducated poorfags.
>>722194797No shit. it's a switch 1 game. Switch 1 games need updates to run they are not native.
>>722192590>You like Nintendo games don't you, Squidward?
>>722188776What is it about the Switch 2 that turned everybody retarded? I don't even think the console is particularly good or worth it so far but every post about it just seems increasingly deranged.
>>722194881There won’t be a new mainline 3d Zelda for probably 10 years.
>>722194797So... just download it?
>>722194907go back to twitter
>Nintendo clearly states that Switch games will need to download an update to run properly on Switch 2>Illiterate retards "Waaaaah why won't my game run without needing to download an update from the internet. I know, I'll bitch and moan on the very same internet when I can just download the update and play the fucking game"Just play the game bro, just play the fucking game.
>>722194918NDS, all of it. Anger makes people actually retarded.
>>722195029Why is tupdate not already on the cart? Because Nintendo are Jews.
how is this any different from trying to play an unreleased game you bought digitally?
>>722190237Based!Who the fuck doesn't have internet nowadays?
>>722195118>what if it were an entirely different situationGee, I don't know.
Nintendo are doing this to protect their games from people who would pirate the game and upload it days early. Blame the leakers who don't know self control, they did this to you, not Nintendo.
>>722195029NOOooooOooo I NeEd tO be AngrY aT NuTendo!!!!!
>>722195164go on and explain how it is different.
>>722195192The games in the OP can already be ran pirated on a Switch 1 and the Switch 1 has like a 150 million install base compared to like 10 million for switch 2. There is no reason for Nintendo to do this
>>722194918I would say the Nintendo derangement syndrome is reaching new records, but it's more a symptom of the current Internet culture where the average user show zero reading comprehension or critical thought at anything he sees online. Someone posts something on the Internet, then it must be true and therefore you should be upset as if your life depended on this emotion.
>>722195192Every physical game should require online authentication. That'll show those pirates and leakers.
>>722188776>Nintendo does it againThat literally happens on every console when there's a mandatory update
>>722188776>OP makes a thread to shit on Nintendo>because of a feature that exists since the fucking PSPYou are a retarded faggot.
>>722194918NDS
>>722190237You keep saying this. What's taking so long?
>>722195309I can't believe Nintendies are arguing that they want denuvo and it's for their own good.
>>722195359>hitler killed Jews>so it must be ok to kill JewsRetard
Why doesn't the update come on the cart?
Its funny how this "announcement" killed the argument of "piracy and hacking" the Switch 2 about 2 months ago. As if you pirates was ever going to buy the games in the first place, now you're arguing in bad faith and misinformation. Snoyboys eating themselves, in more ways than one with this mentally ill shit.
>>722190475Only pirates are getting raped.
>>722195096I disagree.
>>722193920The minimum size for these cartridges is 8gb. The galaxy games are both under 7 if the eshop download size is to be believed. Call me crazy tendie, but I think they can afford to waste some space there.
>>722190237This faggot seems like an amazing shitposter, until you realize that he's actually not shitposting at all
A normal player who isn't mentally deranged will just download the update.
>>722188776It's a combination of>Switch 1 game has required download for Switch 2 specific improvements (it's not an "edition")>All title updates now require you to be on the latest firmware to download them at allIf it were a Switch 2 Edition, where it actually upgrade it to Switch 2 software, this wouldn't happen as the necessary data would be on the cart.Apparently, fully Switch 1 software just doesn't include any Switch 2 improvements on-cart.As a reminder if you've got a Switch 2 on stock firmware, the first prints of Super Mario Party Jamboree + TV has the bare-minimum firmware upgrade for microSD express and Switch 1 game support. Might be useful to have ready for Switch 2 hacking in the future.
>>722193071The Japanese are really far behind when it comes to the internet. It's pretty bad for a country that's supposed to be high tech
this is great. that means I don't have to worry about leakers spoiling MP4.
>>722194918Nintendo did a lot of retarded shit, i don't think anyone will disagree on thatBut instead of considering both ups and downs of the situation with a rational mind, people who were mindbroken by 7 years of switch 1 success are going full insane because they think they finally have the "opportunity" to destroy nintendo.
>>722195372Same answer as the last time you asked me
I'm a time traveler from the year 2151. Fuck you nintendo my switch 3 lite wasn't updated and now i can't play super mariana 3 because ww3 fucked the internet! It's all your fault!
>>722195534MP4 is also on Switch 1 so it will leak. And Switch 2 will most likely need an update like Galaxy does.
>>722195424Disingenuous post.
>>722195424Apparently (you), the retard, never updated a game
>>722194918Playstation division is near dead so now Sony fanboys have even less games than what was even figuratively possible so that means they are working overtime; mentally wage-slaving Anti-Nintendo propaganda.
'uv ninty games'ate ninty companysimple as
>>722194881it ain't happening, rajesh
>>722195625Pokemon Legends is also going to be on Switch 1. Switch as only games are Mario Kart which is worse than Deluxe and Donkey Kong slop. Whoever owns a Switch 2 got scammed.
>>722195625>will most likely need an update like Galaxy doesIt won't be it will have a Switch 2 edition at retail.
>>722195795>Whoever owns a Switch 2 got scammed.Playing those games at 4k 60fps is a scam?
>>722195424>>>>>
>>722195549>But instead of considering both ups and downs of the situation with a rational mind, people who were mindbroken by 7 years of switch 1 success are going full insane because they think they finally have the "opportunity" to destroy nintendo.Add also the nothinburger lawsuit (if people actually bothered to do simple research and read) and the unlicensed Switch emulation put on ice (despite zero effort from modern emufags, aka moralfags, to stay on a low-profile).
>>722192434>Because us Nintendo adults aren't poor like you are. Hope this helps.I don't care how much you make with spending habits like that you are still poor
>>722195827Don't even bother replying. They are retarded and don't know what the letters on the game boxes mean.
>>722195951Saying that doesn't bother me because I'm not poor.
>>722195532Okay but Playstation only recently moved to California and they've had this relatively smoothed out since the ps3. And before some schizo cultist says I'm running defense for Sony, playstation 5 is a niggerbox
Why the fuck would Switch 2 firmware be on a Switch 1 cartridge?
>>722196024>poor>spends his free time posting the same webm and comment in every Nintendo thread he can findIf you ever want to make your parents proud you should really follow through with that suicide you’ve occasionally thought of.
But what about Sony?Did he buy the Switch 2?
>>722196160Stop asking questions! Be angry at the evil company!
>>722196160Because it's necessary to play the game.
>>722196160The firmware is not the issue. It’s some compatibility layer sperate from the firmware and it should be on there cause Nintendo knows people want to play it on Switch 2 and the game has been advertised for Switch 2. Retard.
>>722196160They figured this shit out on the Gameboy, loads of Games have Gameboy and Gameboy color versions baked into the cartridge.
>>722196370online drm for physical games is okay when Nintendo does it.
>>722196384It's unfair to compare Nintendo to Nintendo.
>>722188776>"What do you mean I have to update the system to play this game???"Shits been a thing since the Wii. You NDS niggers aren't even trying anymore, you're just looking for any single pointless thing to make another switch 2 seethe thread
>Why would a Switch 1 game work on the Switch 2 without an update?We are here.
>>722196227This isn't my freetime. I'm on the clock at work right now. What other lies about me can you say?
>>722196448Wii games have the necessary update on the disc. You don't have to connect a Wii to the internet to play a game.
>>722196370>the game has been advertised for Switch 2They said its a switch 1 game with switch 2 updates so no it was never going to be on the cart
>>722196425Yes it is actually. wtf are talking about? Also Mario Galaxy is already on the Switch and came out years ago. So obviously this version is being targeted to people who own Switch 2. You guys are really stupid.
>>722196448>been a thing since the WiiIn most every case the update was on the disk.
>>722196521Then why isn't it a Switch 2 exclusive, with Switch 2 box art?
>>722196425>physicalTendies wish this shit was physical media. They bought 4 lines of code on a plastic cracker
>>722196519So you’re saying Nintendo releases Mario Galaxy twice for the same system? You understand how stupid that sounds? The game is being advertised for Switch 2 owners. And the price of the game is also a Switch 2 price compared to the all star version which was way cheaper. So stop saying this is a Switch 1 game.
>>722196425>>722196370>>722196289Where is the logic? NDS kicking in?
>>722196384Not the most accurate comparison. All the Game Boy had was a BIOS.Switch has a much more complex firmware running on it, and there's logistics with manufacturing the game cards and doing post-golden updates.Remember that the Galaxy 1+2 physical and digital launch date, is actually very short after the reveal last month. The only thing closer was that Metroid Prime Remaster shadow drop.
>>722196637Now you're just being stupid, for no reason.
>>722196762How does any of that matter to me as a gamer? I just want the game that I bought to work.
>>722190237
How is it current year and people are complaining about no internet stuff? Like go to a net cafe with wifi if you really have to, tether your phone.
>>722196808>NO! THE WHOLE GAME IS DEFINITELY ON THERE, WE JUST COULDNT FI-I MEAN WE DIDNT SEE THE POINT IN PUTTING A FIRMWARE UPDATE ON IT!
>>722196621So the millions of users with Switch 1 systems can still play their Mario game? Are you daft?Nintendo's strategy for Switch 2 so far as been to prefer Switch 2 Editions or Updates rather than Exclusives. "Here's all the added content you can enjoy if you upgrade to Switch 2"!
>>722196890He was ahead of his time...
>>722191520>Still buyingYou are just rage bait LARPing. You would have already bought one by now. Retard
>>722196762I WILL use Nintendo as a metric when discussing Nintendo, Nu-tendie.If anything, it was MORE complex when on the Gameboy. Some Gameboy games like Wario Land 2 or Conker Pocket tales have things like different tilesets and mechanisms for saving. Link's awakening DX gets an entire dungeon. There's no excuse that doesn't amount to "You'll buy it anyway".
>>722196643>So stop saying this is a Switch 1 game.But it's indeed a Switch 1 game, which run through a compatibility layer on the Switch 2 that requires updates regularly in order to fix bugs in titles.A few third-parties like Nier Automata still have problems on the Switch 2's BC btw
>>722196643>Nintendo releases Mario Galaxy twice for the same system?You can't buy 3d all stars anymore
>>722196836>>722197119????? Man, these posts are fucking insane
>>722197362>physical games should work offline is insanitythe sad state of nutendo
>>722196859Based Nintenchad. Would befriend.
>>722196890This shit is always so funny to me because you can still redownload games and update system firmware on the wii but then they start making up crazy scenarios about how someone might a buy a brand new day one switch 2 50 years from now and shit like that lol
>>722197138>in order to fix bugsIf it were about fixing bugs they'd just let you play it with a couple extra bugs
>>722194220>nintendie server goes down>waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasup Tycho
>>722197553This. Imagine these niggers going to bat for the original intended Xbox One experience
>>722197553When did it stop working?
>>722195124something like 60% of the global population
>>722197119That's fine. I won't. This means I'm dismissing your criticism entirely.
>>722197362>I don't understand what he said, so he is le crazyWow never seen that before
>>722197719Good, if its bad now imagine if those other 40% had access to it.
>>722196154It's not like they can't make it work if they want to and care. Nintendo just doesn't care and high tech internet stuff is foreign to them.
>>722197890Only 1% of India is on the internet.
>>722197728>Nintendo can't be compared to Nintendo because.... IT JUST CAN'T, OKAY?
>>722197938Switch fans aren't even tendies any more, they're the most extreme fanboys by far
>>722188776Question: does the average player gives a single fuck about this?
>>722197938Problem?
>>722195532China is the hi-tec country you retard kek. Japan is a practical innovation country, not a leading programmer country.
Please everyone take your meds. The NDS symptoms are out of control.
>>722198107The average player has been dealing with this sort of anti-piracy for 20 years now.So no.
>>722198040Correct I'm a switch fan who is an idort and not a tendie.
>>722198167The average player has been seething about this for 20 years now. So yes.
>>722197929That's scary
>people are still using the "server shutdown" cope even though nintendo hasn't shut down a single download server in the pastI know you NDS niggers are retarded but jesus christ...
why is everyone talking about the NDS? even the DSi didn't have mandatory updates
>>722190237Based
>>722198040It blows, can't even just talk about Nintendo games in earnest because it's either two extremes of >Oh you were disappointed in Tears of the kingdom? NINTENDO SUCKS FUCK UBISLOP BASED BASED BASED uhm I'll just pretend you never also said "I like Breath of the Wild">Oh so you don't like Mario Kart World's intermission UHM YIKES, FUCKING SNOY GARBAGE YOU LOST ERIC
>>72219821820 years of seething and the only evidence of it is with Nintendo this year? Wow. That's the most silent protest ever.
>>722198228Wow so you're telling me the DSi and Wii and Wii U e-shop all still work?
>>722198268Literal 8 year olds trying to make Nintendo Derangement Syndrome stick>y-y-y-youre just mad because you don't like my virtual babysitter!
>>722198360Anon, you mentioned the same group twice.
>>722190237Buy them within the next 12 hours or Shiggy Moto will stomp you to death.
>>722197851I understand clearly you guys are mentally ill. Nothing you guys posted seemed probable let alone logical. You guys are expecting a NS game to magically play out the box on a NS2 system, with no update, for a console that lets you know you need to to update, after a direct told you need to download updates for NS games in order to play them properly before even buying the system. Either you're arguing from the standpoint of a hacker trying not to update his system for piracy purposes or you have completely went mental and contradictory for nothing.
>>722188776Haven't Nintendo included any required firmware updates on the cart since the Wii?
>>722198545I think that was a myth spammed by shitposters who wanted to argue with themselves.That said you can share system updates with another system locally.
>>722192206They realized they'll never be able to buy a house so they decided to spend all their money on Nintendo stuff.
>>722198492>functioning backwards compatibility is magicalYou're not convincing anyone.
>>722188776New firmwares were packed with new games on Switch 1. Is it confirmed Switch 2 isn't doing that?
>>722198492Maybe the portable system should fully work portably, and most outside situations that portability uses don't have a steady Wifi connection available
>>722188776What would happen if we started a trend of buying new Switch 2 consoles finding out it sucks and returning it the same day? Would this hurt retail relationships with Nintendo?
>>722198384Yup. Every game you bought can be re-downloaded.
>>722198612I remember it being a thing with early 3DS homebrew too though.
>>722198648Yes, OP is just hoping to stay on low firmware in hopes of pirating later.
>>722198612I'm starting to think switchies have never used any other console in their lives
>>722198648Nintendo are a bunch of retards and despite their vested interest in switch 2 adoption aren't putting switch 2 updates on switch 1 carts released not only after switch 2 release but after its gotten updates
>>722198384They still allow you to download content you've already purchased, but that's it.The save data fixer tool for Skyward Sword on Wii is an exception and you can download that one even if you never did before.The fact that the Wii U servers are still running makes it trivial to download stuff from it using the Wii U USB helper, they never patched the freeShop exploit like they did for 3DS.
>ITT anons suffer amnesia having forgot Switch 2 backwards compatibility requires a small online update to play Switch 1 gamesI don't get it, what is wrong with you fags
>>722198649Works on my machine
>>722198637>>722198649So you have no understanding of basically anything on the subject matter and just forcing a absurd standpoint?
>>722198648It's a switch 1 game. Switch 2 updates are... Updates... Shocking revelation
>>722198810>a small online updateThat isn't on cart....
>>722198850>being able to play physical games offline is absurdNo.
>>722194918I guess there's a lot of people who wanted to get a Nintendo only to realize they were priced out. Video games are the purest escapism there is, and the last thing anyone wants is for reality to sink in at every turn.
>>722198637>>functioning backwards compatibility is magicalto you it is if you think you play on any modern console with a game from a previous console without a update lol.
>>722198850The thread is about the Mario Galaxy collection not working on the switch 2 without a console update. The console update needs internet. The console is advertised as portable, and many situations that would merit portability such as car rides, outdoors, waiting rooms, trains, planes, busses, etc. do not offer internet. Don't play the "I lost, but I'll weasel out of the argument by trying to be painfully oblivious!" card here.
>>722198918>criticizing not being able to play physical games offline is an absurd position to take from a person who is a PC vegan that hates phyaical mediaCorrect.
>>722198894Yeah, it's not on the Switch 1 cartridges. It needs to be downloaded to play Switch 1 games.
>>722199079Works on my machine.
>>722199106Fanboyism has rotten your brain. Log off for your own sake.
>>722198918You're still trying to force something not true, thats making you look stupid in the end.
>>722190237>the massive amount of retards seething at this gif everyday
>>722199052Works on my machine.
>>722194243Then why oh why does it have to download something?
>>722199209So show us the Mario Galaxy collection working on the switch 2 without using the internet fully offline, because you're so confident in it being true.
>>722199079And all this stops the console from connecting to online? How?
>>722199201Accountability is your downfall. 4chan has never been anonymous.
>>722199330Its not a Sw2 game, so your your point is still absurd when SW2 games can play out the box. You just have some absurd interest in this one game, not native to system, playing out the box like its a PS2 system playing previous system games.
>>722199458>these are the children we share this board with
Do you guys not have internet?!?
>>722199591No need to lie
>>722194918Nintendo shitters were confident it was going to be another major flop like the wii u but got BTFO when it sold over 3 million units in just a few days. It's not even just console warring retards that wanted it to flop, brokies were also hoping it fails because they want their "desperate nintendo is the best nintendo" era back so they can get less games but have discounts
>>722199201NDS, you have it bad.
I wish people complaning about having to access the internet actually didn't have internet so this place wasn't a shithole.
>>722199590>you just have some absurd interest in this thing I will die on a hill to defendAll you have to do is say it sucks anon.
>>722188776>create and entire industry with huge amounts of money involved focused entirely around pirating new Nintendo releases>openly advocate for and advertise the industry across all social media>surprised when Nintendo takes extreme measures to stop ityou played yourselves, fuckwits, and I don't even care for Nintendo games anymore
>>722199673>so they can get less gameswat? nintendo has always produced more and better games before this generation
as soon as I saw the third world shitskins at Yuzu and the other one that had a big patreon start taking actual money for what they were doing, I knew this was going to be the end result
>>722199738I am not saying shit, you clown! Go get some help.
>>722196929Sounds like a retarded strategy.>remember that game you already beat? if you pay us more you can get a new gimmick!What kind of stupid nigger is paying extra to put their face into Mario Party or have an audio-only zoom call with Zelda?
Damn guys, please share your secret to post here without internet, i mean, you lready made clear you dont have internet to update your consoles
>>722199987You underestimate switchies.
>>722199079>a bunch of hypotheticals to try and justify not updating the systemAnd how many of these are situations where you didn't have a chance to update before leaving your house or leaving a public space with internet?
>>722200004I'll have the last laugh when you want to play Super Mario Galaxy Bundle in your nuclear bunker after WW Two 2 and are greeted with OP's message :).
>>722196232Sony here I bought a Switch 2 for Hades 2.It's alright. DKB is overrated, MKW is overhated
>I turn on my ps4>psn is off>console ask to update>i update consoleWhy only on nintendo threads the mental illness is this strong? Who doesn't just update your console when asked?
>>722199834They didn't on Switch 1, most of the early games were just Wii-U ports
>>722190934you misunderstand. this is not games requiring the console's firmware to update, the games already include the needed firmware on the cart. what's happening is that nintendo keeps deciding first-party switch 1 games are too buggy on the switch 2 without patches, so it refuses to run them until you download a GAME patch online. having the latest CONSOLE firmware from the internet makes no difference, they're making you download a new patch for the GAME.this is an unusual thing that nintendo didn't do until the switch 2, that sony only did to hide their shame a few times like with stellar blade, and that AFAIK microsoft has not done, though it would be redundant because most of their physical games are incomplete and literally unplayable without patches anyway.
>>722190447You mean the real future where a server is turned off turning your device into a useless brick?
>>722200361>ESL-babble
>>722200361Because physical media shouldn't be firmware locked, perchance?
>>722200361There was an outrage when the PS5 slim required a one-time activation to use the disc drive. You're just incorrect.
>>722200510you're playing a broken 1.0, it's just as bad if not worse
>>722188776>(((shitendo)))
>>722200510Update is on the cart if you are a tendy, on the disk if you are a snoy. Just admit you just want to pirate. No shame, but one should be an honest scallywag.
>>722200510Well it's 2025 and physical media is firmware locked. Guess you'll have to be a wiser consumer.
>>722200665what does any of this have to do with piracy?
>>722200510Physical media is irrelevant and you'll just install the game anyway.
>>722200574Yeah I'll never understand what is so hard about making firmware updates also write to cart.
>>722200491Ah yes, the inevitable future 100 years from now when I'll most likely be dead and consoles will either be a thing of the past or we'll be 6, maybe 7 generations down the line. That's when my grandson will want to dust off my day one switch 2 that I bought but never used to play a switch 1 game because I also destroyed my switch 1 for some reason so he can't play it on that.
nintendo fans are braindead and will defend literally anything
>>722200689I am. I haven't bought anything since Poogeymanz Beta Shitire. I still hate the state of gaming in the current year + 10.8
Why is almost everyone in this thread an illiterate retard who didn't read the OP image? The game doesn't require a system software update, it requires a specific game update or the game won't run. Read the words on your screen with your fucking eyes you underage phoneposter faggots.
>>722200361Honestly I hate it more with PlayStation because it takes so fucking long.It's a 500mb update Sony it shouldn't take as long as 5 gigs.
>>722195370you are embarrassing kek
>>722200361It's just snoys and NDS suffers (probably the same group of people) looking for every little thing to nitpick about the Switch 2.
>>722190934Disingenuous faggot.PSP games had the firmware required for the game on the umd disk. You LITERALLY never needed to connect online EVER.
>>722200872there's nothing to defend because this is a literal nothingburger making problems up that don't exist, literally schizophrenic lunatic behavior
>>722200551No there wasn't. One guy pointed it out and the Sony dogs went to town shitting on him.
>>722200927What's the difference for the end consumer? I can't pop and play. What's the point of physical media if I can't pop and play?
>>722200927Fanboys kept muddying the water with increasingly deranged excuses for Nintendo.
>>722200914That sucks for you. Oh well more games for me.
>>722190665Wait so there are no servers even for updates?But updates also come in the cartridges, right?
>>722200964So you can play psp games without online on the vita? Didn't know that
>>722200964Buy a PSP then.
>>722200927>it's not a firmware update, it's a firmhare apdatte!!!
>internet users concerned about needing internet for a few minutesHow am I supposed to take you niggers seriously?
>>722201228Please speak English.
>>722201050Are the fanboys in the room with you right now?
>>722201009You can plug and play on the switch 1 This is for the switch 2 to play switch 1 games
>>722201315A 薔薇 by another 名前 is still a 薔薇.
Switch 2 is a premium console for premium gamers, not like that Switch pleb nonsense.
>>722201230You should NEVER take us seriously. Just imagine that these threads are some special event with retarded people biting each other.
>>722201351But the S2 was advertised as backwards compatible?
>>722201453They literally said "working on it" in the direct, and "not all games" are compatible. "We'll keep updating it"
>>722199987>making your games available to a vastly larger install base is a retarded strategyThis is why you're a dumb broke shitskin and Nintendo is winning.
>>722194918It's expensive so poors are mad at itIt has no almost no games so diehard fans are pissedThe games it does have require hoops to leap through and as far as I can tell only DK is any good so people who just want to play are pissedSony and Xbox have shit the bed so snoys and xboxs fans are pissed
>pcfags get constant shitpost threads about not owning their own games>turns out nobody owns their own games anyways
>>722201738PCfags are superior because they can just buy a new computer ten years later and still have their whole library
>>722201818Without the Internet?
>>722201738No you can still own physical games. Needing an intetnet connection is no different than needing to plug into a wall socket or needing batteries.
>>722201363You are of the impression I am defending Nintendo here? No, I'm against what's highlighted in the OP and merely complaining that most people here are apparently special-ed dropouts who cannot read a ~50 word long Twitter post.The reason the difference between a CONSOLE UPDATE and a GAME UPDATE matters is that any CONSOLE UPDATE required for a game to run is included on that game's cartridge. There are for some reaosn unga bunga cavemen who can't read but try to post anyway in this thread, who are arguing that nothing is out of the ordinary because new games always required you to update your console and OP must be upset merely at the prospect of updating his console.The problem is that Switch games which should fully work off the cartridge on a Switch 2 will instead require you download a PER-GAME UPDATE because they are blacklisted in the Switch 2 firmware itself and won't run without a GAME UPDATE.This is a problem because these are otherwise complete physical games with the full game data and work fine in a Switch 1 without internet access, Nintendo has just decided there are major issues with playing them unpatched on a Switch 2 that demand patching."Does it play?" is complaining about this because he tests whether physical games work without patches and he's noticed Nintendo is adding games to the blacklist in firmware updates after he's already played them from start to finish on older firmwares without issues.tl;dr:Switch 2 has a firmware-level continually updating blacklist of Switch games it won't let you play without patches. Not only does this include games that veritably worked fine on older firmware, it continues to include new releases after the Switch 2 is a few months old and Nintendo should already know how to avoid Switch game compatibility issues with it.
>Be PCfag>Play on Steam>Don't update to Windows 11>Steam won't let me use Windows 10 anymore>All my games are gone
>>722201818>PCfags*PC vegans
>>722201962
>>722201973>Windows 7 users: first time?
>>722202140And you don't see PC users throwing a melty about it. This is manufactured outrage.
>>722202000this forced meme won't catch on
>>722188776Based I fucking love Steam
>>722202248Neither will lying about owning software.
>>722188776Eric won.
>>722202374You get plugs yet or you still rocking the combover
>>722201962I get there are technical differences between a fw update and a game update. However:>for the end consumer it's the same>just as you can have (and indeed has) the firmware on cart, why can't it also have the patch in cart?
>>722201973>Steam won't let me use Windows 10 anymore?
>>722202524Eventually you will have to update your OS. Just like what happened with the previous iterations of Windows. The point was this happens on all platforms but when Nintendo does it, it's suddenly not okay to update?
On one hand this is silly to even implement at allOn the other, what ass backwards scenario are people living in where they have a S2, have the Mario Galaxy bundle, but don't have the ability to connect to the internet for 45 seconds to download and install an update?
>>722202494>why can't it also have the patch in cart?Laziness, presumably. The most likely scenario seems to be that any bespoke Switch 2 enhancements require a Switch 2-specific patch and they won't include it on a Switch 1 cart out of spite.If I had to guess further, perhaps they're extremely worried that putting it on a Switch 1 cart at all will enable dumping it and reverse engineering it? But if the encryption or data format is different from Switch 1 games then it shouldn't matter. No one's been able to dump Switch 2 games from Switch 2 Edition carts as far as I've heard.It seems like arbitrarily enforced differences on nearly identical cartridges.
>>722202597nta but only dumb cucks think it's "okay" that PC services have capitulated to microsoft
>>722202726>extremely worried that putting it on a Switch 1 cart at all will enable dumping it and reverse engineering itYeah, I can see that. Still scummy.
>>722194041Eh, the world was very different in the 30s. America still wasn't a global industrial power like it was in the succeeding decades.
>>722202707So, what do you do if you have a factory Switch 2 after the servers go bye bye?
>>722203447Servers aren't going anywhere.
>>722203520lol
>>722194918Snoys and Xbots can't handle the reality that PlayStation and Xbox are dying, so they're taking it out on gamers (Nintendo and PC players) along with Nintendo and Valve because they know it's over.
>>722203447when that happens in 20+ years (wii update and shop channel servers and redownloading purchased games are still available after 18+ years) there will presumably be hacks that let you sideload console updates and game updates.
>>722195509You can literally smell the brownness of his posting habits, if he weren't such a jeet poorfag he would've bought a Switch 2 by now, but all he can do is gloat about how he'll "still buy one" no matter what happens because he's too poor to actually do it.
>>722203803That implies there is someone who will be able to crack this thing open, preferably with something present in every household under the sun.Not saying it won't happen btw, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a good long while.
>>722203964yeah, i don't expect it to happen very soon, but probably within 20 years. after even the xbox one and xbox 360 got software hacks, i'm reluctant to say anything will NEVER get hacked. just takes time and the right people.
>>722203447>What if you buy a factory new launch edition switch 2 30 years from now?This is not a realistic situation.
>>722202597But updating isn't the problem, that's perfectly fine. The problem is that they're apparently selling a physical product which does not work without an internet connection. Why isn't the update on the cartridge if the game requires it?This is not the same compared to Steam at all. Steam in and of itself is an online shop, of course you need internet access to use an online shop. Buying a physical cartridge and the fucking thing doesn't work without reaching for the mothership online is not the same at all.
>>722194918Because Switch 2 and Nintendo's behavior is peak capitalism and consumerist derangement.
>>722204120>30 yearsMore like 15 if that. And why isn't it? Who would sell a non-factory S2 with all the online shit with your name on it it has?
>>722203939Do you have a Switch 2?
>>722204150>The problem is that they're apparently selling a physical product which does not work without an internet connection.This is the vast majority of tech products, my good man. Blame the industry and the sheep who didn't protest against it by voting with their wallets en masse. Nintendo's just catching up to the rest of the world, this has been standard for over a decade now.
>>722202000Steamvegans*
>>722204296>More like 15 if thatIt's been 18 years since the Wii shop servers, with literally no end in sight. More like 30.
>>722204435But the current trend is things lasting less?
>>722204296>who would sell a non-factory s2 with all the online shit with your name on it it hasESL aside, you can unlink your account from a switch 2.
I am going to buy a Switch 2 tomorrow.I am going to buy Mario Kart World and Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2.
>>722204150The vast majority of people are fine with this. You're just weird
>>722204532Good job my man, enjoy.
>>722204150>it's a switch 1 game>it works on the switch 1 without an internet connect
>>722204435Bro the WiiU were dropped last year. I don't even know when the Wii ones were.
>>722204561Thank you.
>>722204663You can still download and update games you buy for Wii, Wii U and 3DS.
>>722190447
>>722204502No it isn't>>722204663That has nothing to do with firmware updates
>>722204738Then what does discontinued mean for data distribution?
>>722204150>This is not the same compared to Steam at all.kys steamvegan pcbro cultist
>>722204296Because there will be roughly 8 years of switch 2s manufactured putting us to 2033. So you not only have to buy specifically a factory new switch 2 from the first 5 months of production, but you have to do this only after the servers shut down, which will be another 30 years after that. This is not something that will happen to anyone other than like 5 people, 40 years from now, if even that.
>all the fags ITT defending this like how retards defended the ps5 disk reader needing to connect to the internetSnoys and tendies are a blight on this board. I don't even think this is a horseshoe theory thing, I think it's just the exact same faggots shilling both companies
>>722204319>Blame the industryRight. I am blaming the industry. Namely Nintendo in this case, right here, right now.Also you're a dumbass, Switch cartridges do in fact come with required firmware to update a Switch console so the game works, but apparently Nintendo forgot how to do this on Switch 2 and scumsucking retards like you defend it online as if it's normal.
>>722204150>This is not the same compared to Steam at allkekeke. On PC you should just pirate anyways, fag
>>722204841It just means you can't buy stuff from the eshop or play online
>>722188776Seeing physicaltards being forced to slowly learn that physical doesn't mean they "own their games" in any way, just like we've been telling them for fucking years, is the funniest shit.
>>722204970I buy on Steam and pirate on Switch instead ;)
>>722205041Seeing digitalnigers not pirating is even funnier, they literally pay for nothing, not even blurays or carts.
>>722204925Which makes you a PC vegan who has no ownership of software at all. Yet you're grandstanding the loudest.
>>722205149Correct. Buying physical or digital is literally just a donation for something you enjoy and an access code for their DRM.
When are we getting an emulator? Would be funny if it was as fast as it was on the first switch
>>722205156>no ownershipI can copy my steam folders around and launch my games from a local .exe thoughbeit?
>>722204961Again, rest of tech was doing this before Nintendo did. If you have problems with it, should've convinced people to vote with their wallets back in the day.Nintendo's just playing catchup as they always do, like how it took until Switch to do paid online even though Sony and Microsoft have been doin' it since the 00's.
>>722205213Just wait for the first Switch 2 exclusive Pokemon game. Those autists are always on the ball with hacking and cracking that shit open.
>>722205156No I'm a physical fag who uses both the ps5 and switch, I hate using the pc because of digital games
>>722190237Of course you can, you're a 30 year-old manchild and proud of it
>>722205258I can't wait for minmaxxxxed mons with just 1 base point on their superfluous stats in G10.
>>722205224Most games will need a crack, but steam drm is easy to bypass.
>>722205224Every format of software can be backed up legally, and endlessly copied.
>>722190237kill yourself
>>722205451That'll be the Legends: Z-A DLC Mega Evolutions, because they need to justify a 30 dollar pricetag with a whole heap of retardedly strong Megas that basically mog all of the ones from XY, ORAS, and even base LZA.
>>722205545Yes. And I can even play it. Offline. In another PC. Without even needing Steam installed. I wonder what word that starts with "Ow" can I use to describe this joy.
>>722205608That's not how that works.
>>722205213if it's this easy autist probably already have it, but they are not going to release it now, and there is even a chance you will never see it since retard want to sell them now and get fucked by Nintendo
>its a people losing their shit at the switch over things every console has done for a decade episode
>>722205679Power creep exists if you mean noone will pay for it to access the op mons.Mega Beedrill exists if you mean megas don't lower existing stats before ending up in +100.Now if what you mean is how most shilled mons end up being crap in comp, I agree.
>>722194041Meh, Trump is based. Get fucked.
>>722205149Hacking a switch is too cumbersome right now and in most cases it requires paying someone for it, I'm not poor so I have no problems just buying the games I want, when they make something as easy as hacking a 3ds I'll do it, emulation isn't an option because I don't play shit on PC
>>722188776Mario Flopaxy
>>722205679DLC being a way to create powercreep is how it works for Pokemon, though.SWSH DLC introduced Urshifu and Calyrex, both of whom are still monstrous must-have staples of VGC even in SV's era.SV DLC introduced more bastard Paradoxes, though neither of the star children made as big a splash because they're really reliant on Terastal, which is better suited for already-amazing mons.
>>722190237You've been posting this for 3 months
>>722205671"Ow! I wasted money on a digital game that I could have just pirated for free since I won't own it either way"
>>722190237retard really paying $1.000 for a mid tablet, 2 mid bing wahoo exclusives and 2 emulated games from the wiiyou sould buy 3 o 4 switch 2 right now and post proof, or you are poor?
>>722195532Japan hasn't been high tech for 15 years. Blame the weak yen.
>>722206119Indeed I have
>>722206318Buy one already then. I'm waiting on the PLZA bundle to ship myself.
>>722206119I choose to believe he's unemployed and is still saving his welfare checks for a Switch 2
>>722206263I'll have proof when I get my limited edition Switch 2 with a sick skin, don't worry.
>>722206119Again, he's a poorjeet. All he can do is gloat until he saves up enough bux to buy a Switch 2 on Black Friday.
>>722205910TRUMP IS A PEDOPHILERELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
>>722206081>DLC being a way to create powercreep is how it works for PokemonUnfortunately not. I mean the only real ones you have here are Ushifu, Calyrex you could have had Regileki too. But they don't exactly outclass what already existsand sits at the top.If you look at vgc for 2022 only three people actually used Calyrex while Incineroar was on all but one team and the team it wasn't on had Landorus using it for intimidate as well.So yeah, power creep doesn't work the way you think it does in pokemon.
>>722205451Wow a pokemon with a stat of 1 and no IV/EV and hindering nature is only 6 and HP is 112. I thought it would at least reach 2 digits.
>>722188776Was Nintendo at Davos? I do believe they have a commitment to Klaus and King Charles, you will own nothing and be happy.
>>722206528>WhimsicottEh?
>>722206528>reigning king of vgcHow does he keep doing it
>>722206528That horsemon is from the same DLC you fag
>>722206528>2022What about of the more recent ones for the G9 DLC exclussives? There weren't any SV DLCs out back then.
>>722190237Good goy.
>>722201858Download and install, then it can be offline forever so yes
>>722188776My copy gets here tomorrow. I can't fucking wait. I was so disillusioned with the Wii launch I sold my console during that Christmas and made enough money on it to buy books for two semesters in college. Red Steel (1) was one of the most upsetting experiences ever and I was fucking done with Nintendo for a while so I missed out on the entire console's life. Played a few games at my parents with younger sisters but never Galaxy 1 & 2. Have avoided playing ROMS for this eventuality. Was in no rush. Bonus points these physical releases are always limited prints and go up in price a ton. Bought three copies of the Switch 1 Mario bundle and sold the other two for 300 a pop a year after launch. I doubt this will be any different kek.
>>722205227I don't know who this "rest of tech" really is and I don't really give a fuck. Where is this "rest of tech" that is selling game cartridges which don't work on allegedly compatible console hardware because required software updates are withheld without internet?>should've convinced people to vote with their walletsDon't worry, I'll be sure to spread the word on how trash the Switch 2 is, rest assured.>back in the dayBack in the day? What do you mean? This is happening right now. "Back in the day" every Switch cartridge you had was able to work in every Switch console because any required software update was available on the cartridge itself. There was no problem "back in the day" at all, the problem is recent and it's with the Switch 2.
>>722193257>I tried emulating 3ds games, thery were slow as hell. Even on a good PC I couldn't fly around in ORAS.I haven't had a problem emulating DS/3DS on my phone.
What does NDS stand for exactly? Haven't been here in a while.

>>722208163Nintendo Derrangement Syndrome
>>722208163It means anytime someone has a slight critique against nintendo.
>>722208163it means you have the right opinion
>>722208289Is that targeted at Nintendo fans or critics?
>>722205938>Hacking>emulation isn't an option >I'm not poor so I will buy literally nothing
>>722206263>one dollar and zero cents for a Switch 2 and 4 gamesnow that's a bargain if I've ever seen one
>>722208525Critics
>>722190335That is in fact, one of the things that is screeched about. If Donkey Kong Bananza is an 8.5GB game and the standard cartridge size for a Nintendo Switch 2 game is 64GB, it wouldn't make sense to pay extra to get a cartridge that's just acting as a license to download the game. The entire damn game at its core fits on a cartridge. The downloading of updates should be a purely optional thing.That's what people are mad about. They were clearly too scared to just go fully digital, but they chose the worse route where they steal an extra 10 bucks from the consumer for no good reason.>b-but Bananza IS on the cartridge!This scenario is purely hypothetical.
>>722208649Really? because the fans seem pretty deranged. Calling people snoys for liking OOT and the gamecube is a little wacky.
>>722207328And here we have a classic case of someone who lacks reading comprehension.
>>722193658half of my download history is listen as unavailable. I wouldn't bet on it.same on PS4 with PT project

>>722207362>What about of the more recent ones for the G9 DLC exclussivesNot much different, Urshifu shows up a lot more but of course he's a gen 8 mon rather than a gen 9 mon granted Ogrepon shows up more in the gen 9 VGC than the Gen 8 DLC mon in theirs.
>>722206510Didnt happen plus the deserved it.
>>722208728For me its mostly demos and trials that show up as unavailable on PS5. PT was delisted entirely when it was canceled but you can get around it, pretty sure it cant be played on PS5 at all without some early fw hack though.
>>722208689>making up problems in your head to get mad about
There's no limited release of this like there was the 3d All Stars pack yeah?
>>722208689>That's what people are mad aboutLiterally no one is mad about this.
>>722190237fpbpsnoys seething

>>722188776tendiebros what the fuck is going on?
>>722192369>not buying one switch 2 now and another when it's limitedfake fan
Can Switch 1 carts not include firmware updates for Switch 2?
>>722192434>I am an adult>That is why I support companies that bend me overuh huh...
>heh this doesn't affect me since I only buy physic-ack!
>>722190934PSP games had the updates on disc.
>>722190335I'm not even physical fag, but I get wanting the simple life. Just popping a game in and playing. No hurdles. The less hurdles, the more simple, the better. Every layer of always-online, two-step authentication, or multiple launchers, they keep adding to games is just making everything worse.For example, Far Cry 5 on Steam requires Steam AND the UbisoftConnect launcher. Except UbisoftConnect is shit and rarely connects to their servers. So, when I try to play Far Cry 5 (or any Ubisoft game), it throws an error at least 2 out of 3 tries then shuts down because it can't connect to the Ubisoft server. And UbisoftConnect removed the ability to easily toggle it to start in Offline mode. They removed the setting from the settings section in the app. You have to go into the config file and manually force it to start in offline mode, then lock the file to Read Only so the launcher can't change it. THEN, FINALLY, the fucking game will start 100% of the time when you try to launch it. Again, I'm not a physical-fag, I'm just sayin ... I get it.

>>722208935stfu esl
>>722217102now imagine being a retard that doesn't know to google this shit or how to edit the file. they're permanently stuck with a broken game that, to their knowledge, crashes half the time they try to play it.
