GamingGorilla771 (@GoblinoIraqi) reported
@Bald_Fi the pricing in egregious. This service is nowhere comparable to PlayStation or Nintendos servcies for a comparable price... and this is coming from a Nintendo fanboy.

Quinton Klabon (@GhaleonQ) reported
@teashades @patrickklepek Yep, I concur that it's generational. Pre-online, I used to spend 900 per year on games and now I spend 100. I want a game to be a work, not a service, so Nintendo gets my money where most don't. That said, I'm sure that parents with credit cards and weak wills outweigh me.

@NintendoAmerica Hi Nintendo, big fan for over 30 years here. Please be aware that this is a service that people like me love and would love to have if not for the useless animal crossing crap that tries to justify the offensively high price tag. Some of us who don't even like Animal Crossing. ty

Well so much for getting the NSO + expansion pack, I was potentially gonna get it but $50 a year??? No thanks Nintendo. Make an online service with better functionality before you try pulling this crap.

Kyle Murphy (@KyleW_Murphy) reported
However, Nintendo is going to need to start adding more content and keep on improving its online service to justify anyone going to $49.99 a year. Both Xbox Live and PSN have and do enough to justify their prices for their services.

@ModernVintageG Nintendo needs to add 1 or 2 monthly free games(modern games) to that service to make the price worth it.
-
BassForever (@BassForever20XX) reported
@BombosMedallion I imagine they would if Nintendo licensed more games where this would be an issue for. As it stands everything that's been on wii, wiiu, or nso either uses memory cards for minor features like ghost data, or doesn't use them.

@acobovitch14 @eriktuf Because ps plus and Xbox gold is better. Nintendo’s online service sucks it doesn’t even have voice chat or messages. Also the free games are better quality

RandomNPC (@RandomNPC455) reported
@OrdinaryGamers I don’t understand why they couldn’t tie Virtual Console to Nintendo accounts. That service had way more games available, for a way better price, and as time has gone on they’ve given us less and less for no real reason.

@NintendoAmerica There are so many mis-opportunities with this service, it's not even funny. If this had: - NES to Wii games (All Enhanced in Various ways) - Native Voice Chat & Messaging - Discounts for games. - Multiple Game Trials - Custom Themes Then that $50 might have been worth it.

I almost know that if Nintendo’s online service wasn’t as bad as it actually is, nobody wouldn’t be upset in even the slightest about this. We’d probably have opposite reactions tbh
-
Ryan (@0_2Jim) reported
@Shokio_YT Nintendo's online service is a joke and has only gotten worse. We could send messages to friends on the Wii. The Wii U had a whole online community with Miiverse. Oh and it was free. Why does the Switch not have any of this while charging us for the service.

Krazy (@KrazyBroo) reported
Anyone hating on Nintendo switch online price will be reported. You buy PlayStation for $60 but Nintendo is the problem? BIAS!! Emulation is illegal
-
Reversed (@Reversed02) reported
LRT: I'm willing to spend an extra 50 dollars per year in theory. I think a lot of us are. You want to tap into that, Nintendo? Start by releasing your full retro library on the NES/SNES/N64 apps. It's not like the first party ones have any licensing issues.
-
Ellie🎃 (@Eleneon_) reported
Boy I sure am sick of people complaining about nintendo prices. Nearly everyone complaining about the high price wouldn’t upgrade the service anyway regardless of price.
-
Cake 🎶 (@ACakeToThePast) reported
@NintendoAmerica What if i just want to buy the Animal Crossing stuff on it's own and upgrade later on? Am I still paying $50 despite owning a chunk of the service?
-
Godot (@GodotIsW8ing4U) reported
@Actually_Tina Nintendo even went to the trouble of translating the original Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, which is on the Japanese Switch Online NES service Did they put it on the NA/PAL Switch Online NES service? No, they sold it as a limited time only standalone game
-
StarSoldierPCE (@StarPce) reported
@EmilyRogersBlog Seems more like the “main culprit” was actually a combination of Nintendo’s greed and incompetence. They should’ve opted to offer more classic games/systems from their own library if Sega licensing fees were an issue. And I have no use for AC DLC, no interest in AC past New Leaf.

GeeBZ (@gameboyzap) reported
Can't wait for Nintendo to lock half their offline features behind a subscription service. Seriously what the actual ****.
-
Aaron Sarnecky (@AaronSarnecky) reported
@IGN I like Nintendo but their online service is not a true $50/yr value. Not even close. Online for Smash is embarrassing.
-
Chia 💤 (@CLASH_Chia) reported
Literally all I want the Nintendo Switch Expansion Service for is Mario 64, because the port of it on All Stars can't be used for 16 star speedrunning :/ Sad thing is, I probably will end up paying $30 a year for it Can we please have Sonic 3 & Knuckles on there soon???

Duke Venom (@Coinop12) reported
@myheadisflat You’re absolutely right it’s Nintendo’s fault they have a service you wants that you think is too overpriced and it’s ok if you don’t pay for it.
-
Daniel328 (@Daniel328DT) reported
@Shokio_YT I feel like Nintendo just can't get it together. They are trying to hard to stand out as something completely different, yet they become unprepared when it comes to an online service. They got the games on deck, the console selling like hot cakes, but still figuring out internet
-
AlsoKnownAsBB (@AlsoKnownAsBB) reported
Oh look nintendo is trending again for making something overpriced and still being a crappy company Tell me more about how you’re STILL going to buy the service, STILL going to buy DLC, and STILL BUY their games

Ari☆ (@thedavidandrew) reported
@NintendoAmerica this feels like such a scam. will probably cancel my reg online service just to be sure.
-
Chris Lane (@Shiro420) reported
@CThreeleaf @NintendoAmerica Considering they knowingly sold faulty joycons and still havent fixed the issue with them, much less jacking the price up on them, once again, knowing about the problems they had, this sleazy move doesn't surprise me one bit.
-
Commander Vayne (@Gage_Number_93) reported
@AWDtwit Give nintendo $30 for an online service that barely works? I'd rather pay just the $20...
-
Seany Westside (@WumbasWigwam) reported
Not entirely sure what @NintendoUK are thinking charging such a huge increase for their online service expansion pack. It's like a handful of 20+ y/o games and they're upping the price by 150%. Better be adding at least 3 new games each every month for that price.
-
Nnamz (@NnamzYT) reported
@vetalmd @TimGettys @torch_93 The Wii VC store purchases should have applied to 3DS, Wii-U, and Switch. It's not a problem with the purchases - it's a problem with Nintendo's system. Any PC game I bought in 2007 Steam I can play today. Any PS1 game I bought on PSP I can play on Vita/PS4.

@Stellatiria plus subscription DLC for a mostly offline game has me cackling no thanks, nintendo i was considering upgrading but not for an extra $30 LMAO not for how crappy your online service already is
