I don’t think folks remember how truly shitty Nintendo‘s online service was when it was free. The fact is these companies will not put meaningful resources into them unless they are directly generating revenue. I hate it, but that’s reality.

It's still shitty even now that you pay for it. The free retro emulation doesn't offset the connection issues and massive lag, nor does it excuse the god awful store.

I still think they're 10 years behind but dude it was unplayable prior.

I played online on the Wii quite a lot, it was fine. Smash bros a ton, 007 Golden Eye and The Conduit, and good old MH Tri.

Literally a thousand hours in that last one alone most of which was spend online. Did you not use Ethernet? Wi-Fi was shitty for sure, because everybody had shitty wi-fi back then. (I'm also not saying it was amazing, but it was free and serviceable)
