the fact that nintendo's dumb new online service expansion pack is still $10 cheaper than the regular yearly subscriptions for xbox live and ps plus is really depressing

@SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo Switch Online is such a terrible service lol. Imagine what could happen if they do a Nintendo game pass like you said? It would be fantastic

@oceansunfishy @rapsodos @VGC_News Yeah though if you buy the cartridges that money isn't going to Nintendo so what's the point. Yes, there are games available here for now, but before this they weren't, and there are still a bunch of inaccessible games, so I see no problem with emulation in these cases

Try explaining Nintendo’s Online Service model out loud to someone and see how long it takes until you’re dragged into Arkham Asylum for yelling out nonsense

@NintendoAmerica Way too expensive. Keep your junk service and give us an actual virtual console.

Okay I know I shat on Nintendo being ****** but the Animal Crossing Dircet was just so ******* good. It's adding so much and fixing a lot of things I had problems with the base game Maybe the direct was supposed to distract people from how ****** the NSO thing was lmao

@Kotaku @NintendoAmerica Make NSO+ a App for everything. A NSO app all everything like my phone firestick. A streaming service with Emulators NES,SNES,N64,Sega then future GB,GBC,GBA,NDS,GameCube. Be like Hulu/Netflix but for Retro Nintendo. If they were money hungry that be the way!

@AWDtwit Yeah I've cut off pretty much every streaming service I don't use. So I'm down to Hulu, Nintendo, Playstation, and Spotify

My hot take on the Nintendo online service is that nes/snes games do not make up for an online suite that is lacking in so many areas. The expansion pass only adds insult to injury with it's pricing. Should have just been a part of the base service.

Artist offer art for $400 people are fine with it, Nintendo offers $50 for just a simple online service for a whole year, people goes crazy

I still don't like the price, but at least I understand if licensing made Nintendo put such a high price on their online service. I will still not get it because my budget won't allow it.

We suck again
(@Jared48301357) reported
@comics4life23 @5os4ku @Nibellion How is it valid? Name a paid service, just one, where you get to keep using it or it’s perks after you stop paying for it? Nintendo nerds are so tribal and weird. I’m not saying I love the pricing model or anything about this. Just saying Netflix shuts off if you don’t pay. Wtf

Anyways **** both Sega and Nintendo for A, Nintendo paying Sega for putting genesis games on their service dispite there being a 50 game collection on Switch already (oh and animal crossing being a factor) And B, Sega for being a ***** about their legacy content because of Wii
-
BAH! BLM!
(@metroidkillah) reported
Nintendo have done it again. Somehow they got it in their heads that NSO plus a load of modified ROMs were worth $50/year. You know what would actually be worth that? A fast, reliable online service. Xbox Live and PS+ manage that for $60 AND extra stuff they throw on top.

(@mrpiggmin) reported
@JoshJepson It’s worth it for the people who will be using all of the features offered by the service but for the people who only care about specific things, they’re out of luck. Nintendo doesn’t offer anything individually for a lower price so people basically have to waste money to play...

(@TheBlakeNesbit) reported
Does Nintendo have a development team working on Switch Online? Or is it just a couple of IT guys holding the service together with bubble gum and glue? How many years without upgrades? Nintendo will nickel and dime every step of the way. Insanity.

(@ventrus_kyarn) reported
It needs more updates and content. My problem with the whole thing is that Nintendo locking features behind a paywall of $25+ is them literally saying "Yeah we COULD'VE included this in the base game too, but we know you'll pay for it separately." They planned this (2/2)

@NintendoAmerica lol nintendo will bundle about anything in their online subscription to avoid actually fixing what people are actually paying for the service for

Nintendo can suck my whole *** if they think I’m gonna pay 50 dollars a year for the most lack luster online service out of the 3 major consoles

(@cloudsbiwife) reported
Nintendo has a lot of nerve charging $50 a year for the extra online stuff considering the actual infrastructure of their base online service is still so laughably bad

@NintendoAmerica I actually want the N64 Controller so badly. N64 Emulation have had really bad analoge sensitivity, I hope this will help with that, I still think Your service is Overprice. But that doesn't mean I can't look forward to some things about it.

(@BoctorOctopus) reported
@Aha07Aha07 @OnTheDownLoTho @NintendoAmerica Also it’s not that the n64 games are worth $5 but service in of itself is $5. Think of it like apple music or Netflix. None of those movies on Netflix are worth $5 total are they? Thats the point of subscriptions.

@leafandra12 i was honestly looking forward to play n64 games with my friends online, so we can have more games to play. but this pricing is just, no nintendo, pls fix this

@TimGettys The problem, at least with the previous iteration of nintendo online, was that only one user could be online at a time so while you could share the service you couldnt play together. Hopefully they change that with this version.

@NintendoAmerica $50 is a bit steep considering the online service kinda blows. I can justify PS+ and Gamepass, but not for online that barely functions, sorry. #NintendoSwitchOnline #Nintendo

@IGN They rip me off and sell me 2 broken pair of Joycons, a "portable" console I can't even play portably (b/cno Joycons) and now they want 50$ a year to play games I should have been able to transfer over from my Nintendo account from Wii/WiiU Gonna pirate all their ****.

@ChrisIsCansada @swshriv @NintendoAmerica Maybe that's important to you. It doesn't make any difference to me. By the time the service is shut down, I'll have completed these games enough times to be satisfied. Recently my Wii U broke. I'm replacing it and all those games are lost. Switch doesn't have the same issue.

@JeremyPenter What do you think of Nintendo pulling more BS and artificially hiking the price of their online service today?
