Nintendo to Replace its Multiplayer Server System

Ever since the days of the WiiU and the 3DS Nintendo had been using a server system referred to as NEX.

According to twitter user OatmealDome the servers are actually 18 years old.

I talked about what NEX is in my article about Splatoon 2’s matchmaking and netcode: https://t.co/fBVgkXfn2r

As I said there, NEX is at least 18 years old by now, so it’s dated. Hell, the Splatoon 2 version has an unused function to check to see if it’s running on Windows 98.

The new system, called NPLN, is in a preview phase currently. Monster Hunter Rise will be the first game to utilise the new system, but don’t expect to notice any difference any time soon.
