A thirty dollar jump for a YEAR’s worth of online gaming and some added digital games from Nintendo. If you have the privilege of the gaming money anyway, just budget a couple fewer Wendy’s meals and get your Year of service.

Nintendo is out of their ******* mind with that NSO Expansion Pack pricing. Thank god I stopped paying for their online service long ago. They are REALLY pushing their luck with this. Why spend 30 extra dollars for some roms when I can go play then on Project 64 for free LMAO

@souperfx I never had an issue with it for Mario Kart or Goldeneye. My experience with the N64 is super limited, but it wasn’t terrible. I never played non-Nintendo games since I didn’t own it.

@davidscottjaffe You know what? I’m sure at a high level Microsoft has pitched Nintendo on getting on their service since it could be said their devices are not in direct competition.

@Spiteri316 Problem is Nintendo charges for online services at the same or higher price than other online services that have more/better features. Or they’re charging a lot for 20-30 year old games. Complaints are def valid. At least for online services. Dread at full price is obv fine.

@TimGettys 3/ I’m excited for the N64 titles because it’ll actually will get me to use NSO, but I think at this point if you are charging this much for a game sub service, you need to do better. If Nintendo is consistent with content, then I’ll keep it, if not, I’ll go back to the base sub

@NintendoAmerica So are we gonna AT LEAST fix your online servers?? Why are we paying more when the online functionality BARELY works for your switch games.

@NintendoAmerica The expansion pack is literally more expensive than the base service. That’s asinine. Not buying, do better.

@NintendoAmerica That price-point is an insult. Expansions to services usually cost less than the initial service itself, but there is no way I'm paying more than 2x what I was originally paying just so I can play old Sega and N64 games. It's a shame, as I was looking forward it. Oh well.

Like holy **** it's not like I was EXPECTING good online features but I'm ready for Nintendo to create an online service on par with Sony and Microsoft. If you buy the expansion pack you're part of the problem.

@NintendoAmerica I have discovered today that Nintendo Switch owners don’t have 50 dollars to their name…. If they are going to charge 50 dollars the online experience better be immaculate, no more lagging in Mario Maker or disconnecting in Smash and Mario Kart. Lmao we know better.

@ShinyCaseyD I agree, it looks like a pretty bad value right now. Hopefully this points to Nintendo putting more “paid” DLC for their first party games onto this service, and if we’re lucky, more frequent updates. I might pay it if it got me more frequent MK tracks, golf courses, etc.

The craziest thing about Nintendo charging $60 for their expanded service is the fact that there's SO many features they could implement to easily justify that price. They're still missing party chat, real game invites, a messaging feature, have no achievement system, etc.

@JohaoJoestar @NintendoAmerica It's pretty wild. The normal one is $20 for nes, snes, and online service with cloud saves, but it's $30 more for n64 and genesis. That's a little too much man. Here's hoping they have more stuff to show for the expansion pack.

@PersonaSpeaks It’s an actual insult. I was all-in on Switch back in the day but Nintendo’s refusal to create an actual online service isn’t just a joke. It’s an insult.

@RogersBase Nintendo will never fix their online. Ultimate is a disaster and while Splatoon 2 was playable it was a major downgrade for the original. They don't care.

Lovely updates to the game like this don't come without discourse, and I'm saddened to see so many people up in arms about "Wow, doesn't Nintendo know that we want live service games now?" in response to this being the final content update for the game. 🙃

@seancapri Exactly! If you don't like it just don't buy it. Plus everyone is saying it's $50, which is half true because that cost includes the regular online service so it's really $30 USD/year. I get it's higher than anticipated, but people are acting like Nintendo killed their mom.

@1989Wolfblade @BeatemupsWood Do you genuinely think Nintendo raised their price of an online service in response to an article that was published a few days that mentioned emulation?

I'm sorry but if nintendo's online service was a bit more reliable in the multiplayer department I could excuse the pricing but holy ****.... I expected a sizable price hike but they sure met my expectation. And the controllers sold out, of course.

Live service games and Nintendo do not mix, my friends. Yes, they've updated the game over the last year and a half with seasonal content as a way to keep you interested in the game. Spoilers: this was always going to happen. Its the Animal Crossing model.

Dear Nintendo you can **** right off with that online expansion pack until ....idk maybe your online service will work enough to justify that price

Now to be fair, Animal Crossing is wildly popular, and this benefit will *probably* apply to most NSO+X subscribers. But not everyone. And for them, it’s a complete waste. Nintendo has offered a very weird and awkward service for way too much money. Just as expected.
