I honestly wouldn't care for the Nintendo online price increase if there service wasn't so ******. Every game I try to play online has connection issues and lag.

@SuperZeldaGirl I mean, I don't see why this is a problem. I've paid PS plus (which costs more), and it's almost the same kind of thing that they're offering, except it's Nintendo with their games

Update: I have run into some issues with my save file and my...completely legitimate Nintendo DS™. It looks like I'm going to have to retrace my steps...again...and get us back up to where we were. Which isn't going to be fun to do or watch. No stream tonight, sorry.

@JesseAldridge12 Cheapest and worst, yes. Money for online services is a scam in general, the cost of online maintenance is in the game itself. (see: Steam) But at least the other two attempt to give you some kind of perceived "value" to their service. Nintendo is 20+ y/o ROMs and no servers.

@AMcRaeJr I'd just enjoy having the option to, ya know, choose which games I want to play, purchase them, and then actually own them(like the virtual console nintendo has put on their past systems). Instead, we get another subscription service

Nintendo: adds a optional expansion to their online service that is cheaper than 99.9% of streaming services Emulation/ software hacking junkies: come out of the woodwork in droves to push more people into emulation, despite the fact that it's illegal.

I see the Nintendo online service is pretty much universally hated, however the expected white nights are here defending Nintendo as they always do. Never change internet, never change.

@NintendoAmerica so going from 12.99 to 49.99 is ridiculous. You guys don't even have a functioning online service to start with and adding an emulator and a one time DLC isn't enough to justify this price hike. I hope you guys really rethink this. Need to make that price worthit

@JoJoJosiah_ttv @NintendoAmerica Sorry Jojo but I spend 60 dollars a year (family membership) for a service that barely is worth it. 120 dollars a year for the same quality just with some more old games? Yeah nah, that ain't it. I'll respect your opinion but to me it ain't worth it.

@NintendoAmerica The pricing on the expansion pass is insane. NSO service is already overpriced for the features and games it currently includes.

Ok so a pro tip with the whole Nintendo Online service. If you think $80 for a family plan is alot then gather a few friends to chip in and pay much less for it while everyone get's to enjoy the service. You have 4 people? Then it's only $20 each a year. Do that <3

@NintendoAmerica What will be the difference in price for those who currently have the service already and just want to get the expansion pack?

@ArtisticMistfit Yeah. And welp Nintendo did that just without the improvements expected in a paid service.

As someone who never plays online, I'd gladly buy each good game that is on Nintendo's online service individually. I did it on the Wii, U and 3DS and I'd do it again. I don't want to pay an annual fee for this nonsense. Just bring back the virtual console.

And Ms and Sony have the decency to put actual new games on demand, some being day one. If Nintendo put an entire back catalog of their roms as a full service virtual console it'd be dope.

@MetroidPrimed @NintendoUK I'm actually giving proper advice. If I've ever had an issue with Nintendo it's gotten me answers faster than ranting to their Social media teams.

@NintendoAmerica ...... How much for the expansion pack? Are you kidding me. N64 is my fav era, but hell no. That is rediculous. I'm not buying it, not for that price.... I expected a 5,maybe 10 dollar expansion. But 30 dollars more? For what? Same crappy service? No

(@glomndom) reported
@TheSleeve_ @Shinuto @ArloStuff Dude, the issue is that Nintendo literally can make all of these games easily available on virtual console because they have done it in the past. Instead they made it so you have to essentially rent a whole bunch of games you might not want just to play the few games you do

Nintendo is being real ******* greedy lately. It's starting to feel like a premium service just to be a Nintendo fan.

@nadiaoxford @patrickklepek Most other commenters disagree with the idea that Nintendo should make ACNH into a live service. This is a case of Nintendo making the right decision.

I wish the new Nintendo service offered rollback so that people would read how much it actually costs instead of reacting to someone else's tweet who also didn't read it

@NintendoAmerica why can't we just pay less for the online service and those who wish to get the other things can pay a few more dollars

@ArcanaLegacy @Rafraud A decent cut whenever Banjo and any other Rare games they own come to the service as well. Plus adding online multi-player to these games isn't some drag and drop affair. There are a lot of factors at play in the pricing. It's not "Nintendo being mean" or whatever.

@asu1993 @NintendoAmerica By regular I meant the regular family pack and if you only want 2 or 3 n64 games out of a lot of SNES,nes and n64 games then this service wasn’t for you from the very beginning, idk why you were acting like it was

@NintendoAmerica Adding online support to these games is valuable, but I don't feel like the base online service is worth $20.00. So, I'm definitely not going to pay $30.00 more. Lord knows I've got a backlog of offline games I should be playing anyway... I wish online was free again though. :/

@sphares Nintendo is now charging 50 bucks for the online service and I hope they start giving us really good games we want
