Nintendo NX: 10 Awesome Reveals That Could Win The Console War
5. A Proper Online Infrastruture
Nintendo consoles have always been in the stone age with regard to online play, and this is something that desperately needs to change if they want to properly compete in the gaming market.
Despite the potential for so many of their games to be bursting with terrific online features, even 2012's Wii U is bare bones when it comes to social play.
The lack of accounts-based features and basic communication with other players (because Nintendo wants to protect the children!) is embarrassing in this day and age, and even hardcore Nintendo fans are crying out for a change.
How Likely Is It?: While the PR backlash would be huge if online play isn't overhauled for the NX, Nintendo can be pretty stubborn and likes doing things differently, so don't be surprised if it's still not up to the standards of their competitors. Then again, there's always the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised. It could go either way. 5/10
