If you&#8217;ve played a decent number of matches yourself, chances are you&#8217;ve probably stumbled into a situation where the lag is so game-destroying that you can easily nip out of the room, order a pizza, jump back into your seat and still be back in time to make your next move. So we <em>do<\/em> kind of understand the upset.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, while not exactly excusable under any circumstances, the fact that Nintendo now charges you extra to play games online is only adding to the frustrations.
