Switching to NPLN is not an immediate solution to all problems. On the one hand, it is not clear when Nintendo will use the new system on a large scale. It is not even clear if the full version of Monster Hunter Rice will rely on the NPLN.

Any character you are

Nevertheless, changing the system is an important step for Nintendo. The extent to which players will benefit from the NPLN in the future is a completely different matter. Switch should definitely benefit from an enhanced online experience.
