Nintendo switch allows up to 10 users on local network

The new Nintendo Switch promises to offer new possibilities to players with its concept of union of portable console and living room in the same device, now we also know that it is strongly focused on multiplayer in local network.

Nintendo Switch bets on local network gaming

The new Nintendo Switch will allow creating a local network with up to 10 users, of these eight will be players and the other two will be spectators. This practice is not something new, but it has been forgotten in recent years with the rise of the Internet worldwide. Games like Quake 3, Diablo II or Starcraft already allowed gaming on the local network years ago. There will also be a wireless game mode but Nintendo is committed to cable to avoid problems with latency or loss of connection, especially in tournaments.

Nintendo Switch, more information is revealed and confirms its technical specifications

The first game to squeeze this feature from the Nintendo Switch will be Splatoon 2 , its beta will arrive in March so we will have to wait very little to enjoy the new virtue of the Nintendo console. Remember that to connect the Switch to the cable network we must purchase a separate adapter with a price of approximately 30 euros.

Good news that nothing bad comes after the blow we took yesterday when we learned that Nintendo is going to bet on DLCs in their games, the first victim is the Zelda saga.
