  @NintendoAmerica You are absolutely insane, Nintendo. NSO costs $20USD and has online play, cloud saves and 2 retro console gaming services (+more). You added 2 more retro gaming services and DLC that <1/2 of the users will use and DOUBLE THE PRICE??? This is the worst addition to this service.

  Besides, while the N64 and Genesis games + DLC are nice, Nintendo's online servers are still straight up garbage so paying $50 a year for an online service with worse servers than the Xbox and PSN equivalents, both of which also offer free games and have good servers, is nuts imo

  @CholulaConAmor Eh I think the pricing for all 3 is still greedy as hell it’s just it’s been so long now that we are like “whatever.” Nintendo’s problem is they don’t exactly have the same online quality of life features that Sony and Microsoft have. N64/Sega are a consolation for 2x the price

  @TheNCSmaster @Wario64 My guess is this is the first of many 'free' DLC they'll slap onto the service. If you compare all three consoles, two of them offer new(ish) games frequently compared to Nintendo who doesn't. This could be their attempt at the same idea. Big sub cost, yet bigger perceived value.

  @NintendoAmerica How about voice chat?! Maybe some other quality of life features online? Or how about you fix the damn Joy Con drift? Super disappointing.

  @GabeWMusic @ExpandDong15 @NintendoAmerica Actually, this is another thing Nintendo needs to clarify. Do you lose the DLC if you unsubscribe, or do you get it permanently. If it's permanently, then the value for this service skyrockets. Also, they aren't charging $30 for N64/Genesis, it$30 for those and the DLC. =/= free

  wait have nintendo packaged the AC update into the higher tier sub service of their online? Or am I tripping

  F!Ve (@FiVe_James) reported 22 minutes ago

  i was thinking like 10 dollars extra, but since it’s nintendo maybe that would have gone up to 15 or 20 but holy **** this is almost as much as ps+ or xbox live for a significantly worse service

  Nintendo really out here trying to sell us PSN level of a bad service, but with worse online and 1 game

  also, reminder that it's $50 ******* dollars to get access to play n64 & genesis games nintendo, fix this **** pls

• 
  Doro (@DoroTTV) reported 26 minutes ago

  I love Nintendo, but I don't think $50 a year for access to old stuff is that great a deal when you look at XBox's service (or even Sony's service) and what users get on them for a similar price point.

• 
  BullCraftMaxx (Sanji) (@BullCraftMaxx) reported 27 minutes ago

  I absolutely love Nintendo obviously. But they are the Apple of Gaming and I have always said this. A 150 percent markup increase on the Online Service (which most games still have awful netcode) is a really bad move, especially when their competitors do it much better

  @NintendoAmerica $50??????????? Nah yall better throw in gamecube games and a functioning internet service for that much

• 
  Trev-the-beast (@TrevTheBeast10) reported 31 minutes ago

  @OrdinaryGamers I wonder if they plan on including dlc packs for future Nintendo games along with the service for free. I could see it being $50 then I guess

  @NintendoAmerica Signed up for Nintendo online service and it still won't let me buy it 🙄

  @Shiori_Ishimaru You're right and outside of the diehard fanboys, that crap isn't working. I hope the backslash grows loud enough for Nintendo to fix it.

  so i see the Nintendo Expansion Pack trailer came out, the service starts 10/25, in 10 days and gosh i was so excited going into it cause N64 games are my jam! Childhood! But holy heck that price hike is absolutely ridiculous.

  Yeah, don't hold your breath but you won't see me pay 80$ / year for a virtual console service. Sorry Nintendo but no.

  This price of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass Membership isn't worth the price. Make the online service more up to date and maybe it would be.

  @NintendoAmerica My main issue is there not being a monthly version i feel $50 for a year is worth but I want to pay monthly if you pay for it now you’re stuck with it they should add a monthly version but this doesn’t come with animal crossing dlc or you need to buy certain months in arowtogetit

  Nintendo really wants us to spend 50 bucks on their ****** online service for some extra roms…….

  KeeperOfWind (@KeeperOfWind) reported 50 minutes ago

  @UselessCeiling @NokeIal @NintendoAmerica Not to mention with xbox gamepass and psn if you got DLC during your subscription fee you do get to keep it. That's honestly my only issue with this Nintendo membership increase. For the price increase you can't keep the dlc content.

  Deanna Newton (@DeannaN73211330) reported 51 minutes ago

  @infernaltim It's just the base price for the Animal Crossing New Horizons Paradise Home. We don't even know about the conversion price for people that already have Nintendo Switch Online Service.

  Anthony Atom (@anthonyatom) reported 51 minutes ago

  @RFJ09 The Nintendo Online service for $80 will come with the Animal Crossing DLC, N64, and Genesis library. Still steep though compared to their current Nintendo Online price :/

• 
  That_Nerd_Guy0627 (@ThatNerdGuy0627) reported 52 minutes ago

  My main issue with the Nintendo Expansion Pass is how we don't know when the next N64/Sega games will hit the platform. We also don't know if they will shovel a lot of crap on there like with the NES/SNES. It also might be trickle releases. I don't like it.

• 
  Douglas Szostkiewicz (@DSzostkiewicz) reported 52 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica I’m not planning on touching the Sega or Animal Crossing features in this service, no offense to the fans out there, but I definitely feel like there should be a price choice that lets you pick what services you want to pay for other than pay for ones you will never use! Nasty.

• 
  The Wrestling Shamer (@WrestlingShamer) reported 53 minutes ago

  @NintendoAmerica Way to expensive for what it is offering. Feels like a scam. We need way more content for that price. Buyer beware. Still waiting on Certain essential NES and SNES games on the Online service. Super Mario RPG and Earth Bound for example.

• 
  ProtoMania (@ProtoManiaTV) reported 55 minutes ago

  Nintendo really thinks adding a bunch of games I’ve been emulating for years to their online service will make me spend $50 more instead of actually giving me a competent online experience.

  Silvia || Commissions Open (@samonthepeanut) reported 56 minutes ago

  @MyraFoxy Expansion pack for NSO, a service which still has horrid servers, costs a lotta money despite the fact you're paying for roms. Personally I don't mind the $50 a year, but its still a spit in the face to a lot of people. Also like... what hasn't Nintendo done?
