@patrickklepek Nintendo misses the mark on a lot of things, but not this update. You don’t play ac so yeah you’ll see anti service gamers because it doesn’t benefit ac.

I think i wouldn't have so much of a problem with this price tag for the Nintendo Online expansion if it were $40 per individual. Double it for N64 and maybe up to $50 with Game Cube or WII games.

@GameJourney89 @DirectFeedGames I think it might be a hard sell just due to the fact that no one really knows what games and when Nintendo is gonna drop stuff. If they announced like pokemon stadium and Mario party for the service then there's a chance it will fair better since they would be online too

@bellicose_barri Damn, look at all those issues that are far more important than the funny Nintendo game, I couldn't have said it better myself. You think just because I said an example, that's the only one I believe in? Black people have thousands of issues to worry about.

@NitroRad HOWEVER, the reason why it priced is because both PS+ and Gamepass perks are worth the price (kind of). So my proposal to Nintendo is: 1) Fix your online connection, please 2) add in the handheld title to the NSO w/o raising the price of it 3) Bring back the Virtual Console.

@Zari_Wari I was wondering if/when they would (inevitably) jack up the prices for their online service, since it seemed to be a somewhat decent deal compared to some of nintendo's other offers (bad ports, limited time releases, etc) I miss reggie and iwata more than ever now

@ChristinaTasty nintendo is borderline obsessive about protecting their image, but wrecks it in the process. there's so few games, but i presume due to the n64 being a whole ************ to emulate and they'd rather give you 5 games that run really well than 100 where there's emulation errors.

I could make a Nintendo Cinematic Universe work. Give me the Mario movie and let me take it from there. I can fix this, c'mon Reggie.

@Krabby7Playz @eszzz @DynamoSuperX Mmm for me is kinda debatable? Cause smetimes even ps plus games can have really bad and sometimes are really good but also Nintendo have been always free. I think this is not an issue now. Is since they made us pay go play online...

I can’t believe I have to chose between wasting money on another Switch refresh or wasting money on an over-priced bare minimum subscription service expansion. Guess I’ll just have to kill time by…NOT giving Nintendo money until they finally wise up. 👀

@NeosHelios0124 Yeah they are, but the issue is that Nintendo Switch Online isn't like that. Once it's gone, so are your games and saves.

@LvngDoll87 @TheSwitchForce I do think Nintendo does need to really go into detail about this and just really clarify what’s actually included with the new online service instead of slowly announcing more things to the service if they really wanna sell it to some people

I been seeing a lot of people shitting on Nintendo’s new online service and y’all are tripping over NOTHING. Yes it’s $50 but it’s the cheapest way to play all of the games that are included, unless you have a Wii U. If you really wanna play these games,

@Supermegaroxas That would be the worst! I’m not a morning person & I already experienced this issue the other day with blackmilk clothing for Zelda themed clothes, I was not happy when they said 7AM, and it end up being 8AM. If only Nintendo had a “notify when restocked” button.

@NeosHelios0124 Nintendo Switch Online is like Netflix for retro games. You have to be online to play them. I believe that you can play them offline for a limited time, but you need to reconnect every so often. You own nothing though. It's just paying for the service.

@RoseSilicon Nso in theory is a better value if they kept updating it. Some companies have said they've sent games to nso that haven't been uploaded yet. Same issue natsume and other pubs had with wii u vc. Where nintendo accepted the roms but refused to push them to sell for no reason

@Lucid_Faith Here in Brazil, this price is a problem... Having videogames here now is a luxury. A ps5 for example, costs 5 minimum wages, a switch costs 2. And Nintendo isn't officially in Brazil, so that doesn't help at all... We're getting games msot from gray market.

@DetectiveEvy @KyProRen @NintendoAmerica One expansion for one year... I get 3 games every month on PS+ and better online service for $10 more a month. This is nothing but a rip off.

@IGN Damn $100 on controllers, plus $50 for the service. Nintendo is about to make bank on some suckers.

(@DeerKingdomNeon) reported
Sure, you can't make that same argument for N64 games, but it doesn't excuse the fact that they're selling a half-assed service for a ridiculous price. If Nintendo really wants to charge people $50/year for an online gaming service, why can't they actually improve the service?

@NintendoAmerica Oh God, what if other expansions get stuck behind this thing. Imagine Mario party boards locked behind this service.

@PuncherToddler It would be nice if Nintendo followed suit with reasonable servers and what not because I would expect an online service like PlayStations for that price

@Thinkgametalk I’m pretty sure that stuff is coming. I still firmly believe that this service is going to grow to encompass the vast majority of Nintendo’s history. It’s just going to take time. And if the service grows respectfully from here on out the 50 will be a deal. Jus a tough sale now

@TabGames3 Oh for sure, hell you could easily find issues with most of the features I've listed (60fps hacks throwing off timing, widescreen and culling, etc.) Still, I gotta give props for their attempts to do more than Nintendo has done for N64 rereleases, even if PJ64 is no Dolphin yet

(@ChristinaTasty) reported
I looked at that Nintendo emulator thing and thought "$50 annually for N64 emulation on the switch doesn't sound as bad as people are making it out to be" Until I learned there's like 5 games. As a subscription service it was already kinda eh but that's obscene.

(@gamecatz570) reported
@sandiano8 You’re right, but because so many are mad about this I guarantee that Nintendo will eventually lower the prices and the subscription won’t be a big issue. That’s happened before I’m sure it will happen again

@NintendoAmerica @Nintendo The way you expanded your "Online" service is the reason I own an original Switch and use custom firmware. I understand the mentality of using the "Expansion" terminology, but this is a service not a game. The price leap is ridiculous, consider tiers.

@j_rem85 In my online multiplayer experiences with Switch, it's been pretty bad. Maybe Nintendo will use the money to actually fix that. j/k It won't. =/
