    @NintendoAmerica Very awesome job with the update Nintendo. Will be getting the Animal Crossing expansion. However, once again you try to cram another disappointing announcement regarding your Online Service into a great presentation. Not getting the upgraded expansion to NSO. Sell us those games

  • LordAtrexia Ryan 🤖⏳ (@LordAtrexia) reported

    Looking forward to Animal Crossing hitting #GamePass eventually, I’m an Ultimate member & therefore am entitled to every game ever made on the service. When will MS make the Nintendo acquisition? 🤔

  • ElderVauIt 👻🎃Vault of Terrors 🎃👻 (@ElderVauIt) reported

    If this starts a trend of Nintendo releasing games/dlc as a service that’s gonna be awful

  • WarCry227 🎃Lucy🎃 (@WarCry227) reported

    Nintendo really still making me not want to pay for their online service lol This isn't even exclusive to Nintendo either, i hate all subscription services in general o-o

  • KGAMESx27 KGAMESTTV (@KGAMESx27) reported

    Nintendo really said, let's make our year service $50 and family plan $80 for some n64 games, genesis games and a expansion pack for animal crossing. Bro what are they smoking?

  • gokuss9999 Gokuss9999 (@gokuss9999) reported

    Holy ****, $50 for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion per year?! That better not be on top of the $20 of the already bad online service...

  • Nowaterjustin Justin (@Nowaterjustin) reported

    @Wario64 If Michael Myers was a video game company it would be Nintendo... until they fix this price.

  • MarcKindlen Marc Kindlen (@MarcKindlen) reported

    Lmao, **** off Nintendo £50 for your online service

  • NatsuJutsu Ugly Gang CEO (@NatsuJutsu) reported

    Nintendo is beyond crazy they track record of updating the games on they online service is terrible and they expect people to pay $50 for N64 & Genesis games? Let’s throw an animal crossing DLC in it to make it look more reasonable I’ll pass.

  • ThunderEaglesTV ThunderEagles (@ThunderEaglesTV) reported

    I’m sorry but Nintendo is wild if they think that’s worth an extra $25 and the online with N64 and SEGA Genesis better not be $70 a year considering how awful Nintendo’s online service actually is #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons

  • Aw3someNick94 AwesomeNick (@Aw3someNick94) reported

    Nintendo realized how much they were under charging for their online service, but they seem to have forgotten that they’re still a decade behind when it comes to netcode quality and basic online features. No way in hell am I more than doubling my investment for slightly more roms

  • LuminaryEm Em 🏳️‍⚧️ Play Chicory 🖌 (@LuminaryEm) reported

    The AC direct was amazing… but locking walls and pillars behind a paywall is a yikes dog. Also they randomly show the price for Switch online Expansion and its 50 bucks? Thats more than twice the regular service a year. That is gonna be a no from me Nintendo

  • bad_shade BadShade (@bad_shade) reported

    80 dollars for a ******* online service is a ******* Theft Nintendo!

  • WowShaneTTV WowShane (@WowShaneTTV) reported

    I love Nintendo but we cannot support busted online when they ask us to pay $30 extra a year for things that haven't been fixed and problems that have been ignored. Emulation is the way to keep retro gaming alive

  • Broshi89 Broshi89 (@Broshi89) reported

    80 bucks a year now for my family plan for NSO + Xpac ouchie. I pray that nintendo fixes their lack Luster online service so people don't riot with that kinda money being spent

  • LucaManiart LucaMania (@LucaManiart) reported

    @brodee922 @NintendoAmerica @jackboxgames Already brought it up to QA right after making the post but Wheel of Enormous proportions has this random crash when spinning the wheel and I already explained Job Job

  • Draycos1 Draycos (@Draycos1) reported

    @Juggermelon And that's Nintendo hopping on the Xbox and Playstation online service fees bandwagon....

  • Honest_Abez Honest Abe (@Honest_Abez) reported

    @imranzomg Genuinely hope the time is near where Nintendo just makes third party games so I don’t have to deal with their horrible service practices anymore.

  • SmarkHenry Frank Chef Esq, PHD🍂 (@SmarkHenry) reported

    Whoa… Nintendo just sneaking the WAY too high “expansion pass” online service cost onto the end of the Animal Crossing direct. From $35 to EIGHTY!?

  • WeebyEnt WeebyENT (@WeebyEnt) reported

    You ain’t slick Nintendo…I saw that $50 for online service👀

  • TTTTTsd_ 👑TTTTTsd👑 (@TTTTTsd_) reported

    Until Nintendo puts Smash 64 WITH ROLLBACK on that online service expansion pack I would say it is not worth it

  • Strider21X Strider21XX (@Strider21X) reported

    @LFCmike_ @NintendoAmerica With regards to how they implement their online subscription services; I 1000% agree. Notice how they sneak their ridiculous Online expansion service price into a presentation that has nothing to do with it? I will pass on that completely. Will get this update to game though.

  • nakix_ 🎃 Spooky Nakix 🎃 (@nakix_) reported

    @AivanSwitch Nintendo has a really big problem

  • SpaceMawz The Softest Glaceon (@SpaceMawz) reported

    @MiraDaWulf Me too but it’s pretty unjustified with how terrible Nintendo’s service actually is. I can afford it but I really don’t know if it’s worth $50 a year to me. Maybe if they had also added GameCube games in addition to N64 and Genesis. That’s all it would take me tbh.

  • hassanahmed120 Hassan Ahmed (@hassanahmed120) reported

    Overall, this is great new content and DLC. My only problem is while I do love this game, I got burned out by how slow and repetitive a lot of things were. While Nintendo focused on new content, there wasn't really a lot of QoL changes.

  • JUSTINtime4aLAF Justin McDaniel 🏳️‍🌈 (@JUSTINtime4aLAF) reported

    So, did nobody else notice that they quietly announced that the "Expansion Pass" for the Nintendo Switch Online service costs $50? $30 more than the standard version. To play N64 and Genesis Roms, and DLC for an almost two year old game. $50.

  • Stupacabra Boo-arrrght Crypt (@Stupacabra) reported

    Fifty dollars a year? For a NINTENDO online service? ****, with the fervence of a rabid chihuahua at the point of ******, OFF

  • sck8182 Charles (@sck8182) reported

    @Yanksfan_03 Supposedly there will be a discount for people who already have Nintendo online service 🤦🏻

  • vilepluff Rob (@vilepluff) reported

    okay so the new nso membership is $50 a year i just renewed mine like a month ago so i better not have to pay 50 bones to upgrade or i will post an image of a broken nintendo switch

  • thunderaichu 🐯 (@thunderaichu) reported

    Just realized that would be a $30 jump which is a huge yikes. I really need to find a 8 member family plan bc there's no way in hell i'm paying $50 for nintendo's ****** online service
