@TidyWire @KammyKat22 @NintendoAmerica They be like,"that's what happens when you complain about 10 extra dollars for the whole service too"

If the licensing claim for NSO is true, then its a shame but not much to do about it other than hope Nintendo bolsters the service with games and offers like that voucher they used to do

A thirty dollar jump for a YEAR’s worth of online gaming and some added digital games from Nintendo. If you have the privilege of the gaming money anyway, just budget a couple fewer Wendy’s meals and get your Year of service.

@RCaseDrawsStuff What really baffles me the most is that why is Nintendo charging us money per month for Switch Online? I mean, couldn't we just buy any of the SNES, Sega and N64 Apps on their service and then leave our wallets alone??

@NintendoAmerica I personally don’t think this is worth $50. I feel that the complaints for this is valid. I really wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that we are getting more than 3 offers, but this is what we are getting. If you like this service that’s fine, enjoy the expansion pack.

@IntroSpecktive Nintendo back at it again with their awful pricings. Before Nintendo's excuse for such a lackluster service was the price, but now it isn't a factor anymore. Of course I just don't need to mention how both PS+ and XBLG are ahead of them by a country mile.

@NintendoAmerica I have discovered today that Nintendo Switch owners don’t have 50 dollars to their name…. If they are going to charge 50 dollars the online experience better be immaculate, no more lagging in Mario Maker or disconnecting in Smash and Mario Kart. Lmao we know better.

@seancapri Exactly! If you don't like it just don't buy it. Plus everyone is saying it's $50, which is half true because that cost includes the regular online service so it's really $30 USD/year. I get it's higher than anticipated, but people are acting like Nintendo killed their mom.

@EmilyRogersBlog Now it's actually possible that Nintendo got Goldeneye on the service. Lol.

@RandomMnky it is the upgraded online service for Nintendo. they are adding the N64 and Genesis virtual consoles, however to get those to virtual consoles, they are asking a ton more money. 50 a year for individual accounts, 80 for the family plan

@NintendoAmerica The expansion pack is literally more expensive than the base service. That’s asinine. Not buying, do better.

@NormallyNormal7 @nintendolife The issue is more that you don’t keep the update if you stop being a member I think. Plus as much as animal crossing sold it means only people still using it regularly will work with this benefit. Vs giving you 2,500 gold points to use on anything or a voucher for a Nintendo game

PC gaming has free online service, but you don’t see the same kind of outrage from the Xbox and PlayStation world as you do with Nintendo’s evil “50 Dollar!” service that ain’t really needed.

@claireshare17 I think u can send it back to Nintendo for them to fix but I also think that might just be for the controllers :( I’m sorry this is happening to u tho <\3

Nintendo’s strategy for the + Expansion Pack tier of their online service is an interesting one. Does that mean that some DLC will be available free of charge if you have that membership? You’re basically renting DLC at that point? 🤔

@Drtre81 It doesn't need that, it needs a complete overhaul before I spend $50 annually for a service from Nintendo! Give us better servers and a discord in-system app and then we might go places!

@NintendoAmerica Glad you guys still have the $20 plan because $50 is way more than I'm willing to pay for a service that has no chat function on the device.

@davidscottjaffe You know what? I’m sure at a high level Microsoft has pitched Nintendo on getting on their service since it could be said their devices are not in direct competition.

@NintendoAmerica Nintendo should make a version of switch online expansion that doesn’t include the animal crossing DLC pack. I am only interested in the N64 and Genesis games being added to the service. I will stick to the basic membership for now. I don’t play animals crossing.

@nron10 Neal, you are the problem with Nintendo pricing things this way. /s If this is for you, that’s great. I’m gonna have to pass on this one. Oh, well.

@BeatemupsWood Maybe if @NintendoAmerica online play was that of Xbox or PS but has anyone tried playing Mario party over internet? Frame loss, general lag and now $50? No thanks

@Nuzamaki90 @Cibles_ The DLC is not what’s driving up the price dude. It’s just priced that way by Nintendo. It’s a joke to think the animal crossing DLC is what’s upping the price. They’re clearly gonna include other DLC down the line for other games with the service.

The craziest thing about Nintendo charging $60 for their expanded service is the fact that there's SO many features they could implement to easily justify that price. They're still missing party chat, real game invites, a messaging feature, have no achievement system, etc.

@NintendoAmerica So are you gonna AT LEAST fix your online servers?? Why are we paying more when the online functionality BARELY works for your switch games in the first place?

Like holy **** it's not like I was EXPECTING good online features but I'm ready for Nintendo to create an online service on par with Sony and Microsoft. If you buy the expansion pack you're part of the problem.

@1UpWelch This is my problem with Nintendo fans you guys defend crappy business practices then they’ll just keep increasing prices what if this costed 3,000 dollars instead would you still defending it? Quite pathetic if so

I think the whole Nintendo Switch Online thing is exactly why game preservation and emulation exists Limiting these 20+ year old games that people emulate behind a paywall for a service that not everyone uses isn't the way to go
