Nintendo's online service still looks like super basic emulation, 4 player online and portability seem like biggest draw. Pricing is key here. Not really malding or anything since I discovered the glory of PC emulation!

@notelkz Nintendo: "Let's release a DLC for our already bare bones online service" I'm genuinely curious what they want for that now. I'm low key annoyed how they're handling this (yet again lol)

I'm still thinking of the implications of Sega being directly a part of the Nintendo service stuff

My biggest problem with the Nintendo Switch Online system (unlike Fight Pass) is you can't outright buy and own the games. I want that option.

@NintendoAmerica SPOILER ALERT: A Generation 8 PokeMon is gonna make it in as the final 11th DLC character. Saved you all worth the trouble. ;)

nintendo throwing their fans some scrap ROMs of the same games they've been playing for 25 years for even more money than they are paying for their ****** online service is true boss girl energy

This Nintendo direct is a joke. They’re charging you more for a ****** online service and in exchange you can play N64 AND Sega Genesis games. Announcing that the new smash character is being announced oct. 5 Nintendo can be such a ******* joke.

Everyone: "Hey, we'd like Virtual Console back & an online service that actually works." Nintendo: "Make the bad online more expensive & put VC content behind the higher paywall? Got it!"

@bullexto1 only Nintendo would make a DLC for a subscription service

Actually nah. I still think as a concept, Nintendo Switch Online blows chunks. They'll shut the service down eventually and nobody will have any of those games on their switch.

They seriously just introduced an "Expansion pack" to a fricking Internet service. Expect more to follow, because if Nintendo can do it, anyone can. Bleeding heart for that N64 controller because thats exactly how they hit Nostalgia factor. I'm trying to stay clean on this one.

Is the Nintendo Service DLC a monthly or one time fee? Honestly their online services already offered so little, I kinda expected them to add N64 games into the existing offer. Pretty surprised to see them add to the cost for them. Curious how many opt into it.

(@mattriva) reported
I kinda regret getting a switch because of how Nintendo shows their disdain for people like me who would rather buy individual games than yet another subscription service
