@superskrong nintendo legit scamming with their online service

$80/y (rn $35) for the expanded family Nintendo online subscription is about $10-$15 more than I expected Sister and I both play ACNH so that’s $50 right there though no telling if they’d ever take it off the service. However kinda hoping they add Kingdom Hearts...

@TheSleeve_ @cirex13720 @ArloStuff No, we get that. But for the quality of Nintendo's specific service, which for the record is P2P *not* server based for most games, $50 is absolutely not a fair price. The only thing that "justifies" it is the $25 DLC they included. But not everyone cares about ACNH

If other DLCs besides Animal Crossing are eventually included in the Nintendo Online Expansion then $50 is a reasonable price. If not then it's about $15 too expensive. $50 is only $10 less than Xbox & Playstation but its a worse service other than some N64 games.

@HylianHero83 @Vet_093 @NintendoAmerica When the price is a steal, you take alternatives. Im getting ready my switch to add it homebrew, not paying anymore for this crap service.

Love to see people defending Nintendo for charging $50 for an online service that doesn't have proper voice chat, doesn't have text chat, is wildly inconsistent and doesn't even offer cloud saves for all of its games but it's okay because now you can play Ocarina of Time.

@MightyQDawg -- Another thing here is that I don't trust Nintendo's online service persistence. With those Genesis Collections, I know I'll be able to play them until my hardware gives out.

@hionfructose is that the monthly increase for Nintendo's new service with the N64 and Genesis? that's less than a single coffee. people so salty online.... lol

@montatiyt Yeah. Like I like Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft charges you more for that. Nintendo is giving you the online service plus dope retro games for less than Xbox Live.

Not surprised that i'll see people complaining about dlcs like as if nintendo were the first ones to ever do it ..... Honestly I feel like as long as it isnt pricey and nothing major that you NEEED to have, I dont see it as a huge problem especially since its not forcing you

@Luis_GVN It's ridiculously overpriced imo. Love me some N64 games but Nintendo is straight up trolling at that price with how bad their service is

@satoken133 @PurpleOJ_YT @NintendoAmerica Stop defending corporate greed, this is ridiculous. What is the Switch Online development team working on? This many years without an upgrade to the service is insane. 1.) FIX VOICE CHAT 2.) Achievements (even Apple Arcade has achievements).

@gokuss9999 @NintendoAmerica The only reason I think it should be free is the poor quality of the service Had it been better with more content I'd be content with paying a bit for it

@NintendoAmerica i can not find it in me to even recommend this to older people who may not know what emulation even is when THIS is how you're treating them. if this is the service Nintendo is offering, at this outrageous price point? why would anyone NOT pirate??? literally who?????

@NintendoAmerica Before adding new content to the Nintendo Switch Online service and charge us more, you should definitely consider working on how to fix and give us a much better service we are already paying for. #NintendoSwitchOnline

@ModernVintageG I'm getting my snarky replies ready for this one. $50 for roms is quite ridiculous. They better fix the backend and offer newer titles if they want me to pay the same thing yearly I do for GamePass. Nintendo really is Disney at this point.

@Yuriofwind Literally I own a bunch of the titles they're adding to the service, physically, Nintendo, what makes you think I'm gonna pay another 30 dollars to, play them on a different platform?

@gokuss9999 @NintendoAmerica 10 bucks for both n64 and genesis and I'd be FINE but making the whole damn thing 50 is ******* absurd You can feel free to disagree but with the crap drip-feed laggy service they have rn I just can't understand

@NintendoAmerica I would rather buy the DLC separately and pay a lower fee for the online service. Charging more than double the price for games that came out 2+ decades that bundled with DLC to a game not everyone plays is laughable.

@NintendoAmerica WTF? the lousy online service and apart from the expansion if you compare, it is a little more expensive than the normal subscription, this if I would call it a robbery

there is literally no reason the switch's cloud save feature should need to be paid for, because the only use cases are all nintendo's responsibility, from glitched saves to broken switches to just flat-out buying a second one, that kind of feature is just owed to the consumer

(@SMetaldave64) reported
Like many have said since 2018, Nintendo should release a separate service for Classic game access. Nintendo's Online Service should focus on making their Netcode/Network play better and up to modern standards. Adding old ROMS doesn't fix anything lol. #NintendoSwitchOnline

XBL is $60. PSN is $60. NSO is $50. Yes Nintendo does not have anywhere close to the online power of the XB or PS. But it's only $50 a YEAR. Why ******** is anyone complaining? It's a service just like anything else.

@NintendoAmerica the people who go around defending Nintendo and doing everything in their power to let you know Piracy Is Bad views piracy as a much bigger issue than Nintendo does, clearly.

@DXFromYT I kinda like the service since I pay next to nothing for it along with some friends, but this? dude. No way we're paying for it. Retroarch has us covered already. Nintendo can **** off.

@NintendoAmerica I tell you what - instead of hiking the price of your online service by 150% for a handful of games, why don't you just sell those games separately for like $10 each? Let people pick and choose what games they wanna pay for. More profits, less resentment.

People are really bitching about the $50/year Nintendo expansion pack like Nintendo online isn’t already $35/year. $15 more and you get all those games like what’s the issue 😭😭
