....nintendo switch online expansion is SO trash 3 years wait for an overpriced service man AND STILL NO UI IMPROVEMENTS?????????????

After sitting on it a more, Im extremely disappointed by the Nintendo Online expansion price. They haven’t been able to release NES & SNES content regularly enough to make that service worth it. As much as I want N64 games, how will I know they will regularly update the library?

@AustinJohnPlays Id also add that I dont think Nintendo's online service is up to par with Xbox or PlayStation's and to pay a price close to their's and not get as good benefits is pretty stupid on Nintendo's part.

@SwitchUpG Too much. I'd have paid £25 but almost doubling the price is a piss take. I was an Xbox Live Beta tester nearly 20 years ago and Nintendo's Online service is still nowhere near it in terms of features and quality which is embarrassing quite honestly.

@Kisaoda @Cassio_Iago @NintendoAmerica Well, they have the option to play it officially on a Wii U or emulate it. I'd LOVE if Nintendo just gave us normal virtually console instead of this ****** subscription service, but unfortunately this is just how it is right now

@DgMsYT @JezJitzu @NintendoAmerica Bro I hear it all the time from people that their online service is trash. And those other services does not have an expansion pack you pay on top of it to play more games. Hell atleast they allow you to buy the games to keep so you don't have to use the subscription all the time

@ChronoKatie while nintendo did listen to a lot of the fanbase, they missed a lot of peoples biggest issue moving town hall to another location it sucks, but thats not me saying im not hype about the content they added HYYYYPE

Calling it now, Nintendo is going to see no one buying Expansion Pack as "see, no one actually wants these N64 titles" and completely miss what the problem actually is.

@NintendoAmerica Idk, 30 seems steep. I'd pay another 20/mo for this but you're charging more than the price of the base service and ultimately not adding much. That said, call me when you add Battle Tanx: Global Assault and we'll talk

@peachepitt @KittyLordSavior @NintendoAmerica Oh wow; I didn't even know that 'drift' was a thing! I hope you get the issue solved, but Nintendo tends to ignore issues until it hurts their wallet or PR.

@chocopuggins @NintendoAmerica I LOVE paying for your online service there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the quality for a $50 a year plan!

Hold up, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack is $30 DOLLARS MORE than the original service? Nope. If it was 10 or 15, I'd be down. I'm not paying and extra $30 just to play some N64 and Genesis games. Miss me with that.

@NintendoAmerica If you're going to update at the same pace as the NES online service and the Super Nintendo online service Lower the price otherwise it's just not worth it...

Did Nintendo really just raise their online service price? And for what? Just for a slideshow experience in Smash Online? I'm not paying for that. Nintendo's business practices themselves are perhaps the biggest reason to turn to emulation.

@GWOtaku I’d be inclined to agree if I thought Nintendo would offer these games as a service beyond the life span of the Switch line. But services / servers go down. If you buy the game and aren’t required to have a service to play it, you keep it for as long as the hardware is playable.

(@Caleb_Bravo99) reported
I think the main problem with Switch Online is that Nintendo is thinking of it more as Game Pass for old games than they are as an online service. Which explains why the pricing seems ******. Because most of us compare it to PS+, where the games there are a free bonus.

@may_ello I wont even bother contacting nintendo tbh. Like a year ago they announced that joycon drift "wasn't a noticable concern" after literal thousands of people experienced the issue. They make more money from people buying $80 replacement joycons than actually fixing any issue.

@ThatSephence @NintendoAmerica i think it's stupid to pay to be able to play online it's a ****** service period and the switch was fine without it for the first 2 years of its life

@CrimVicious @NintendoAmerica Yes you lose access to the DLC if your subscription is canceled. You can buy the DLC for 25 and own it outside of this service but the service will still cost an extra 30 a year. The DLC actually doesn’t change the price it was just thrown in to try and justify the increase

Honestly, the expansion Service for Switch Online is a bit on the expensive side for what you get but if I was Nintendo I'd throw in more bonuses. Either more free DLC from different games thrown in there, a permanent discount on select titles, or both. Or other features.

@SpawnWaveMedia Nintendo's piracy problem is their own fault for stunts like these. I'd pay 50 bucks if it was Gamecube and Wii games, but I already have a Wii U

@Kutairo_ Nintendo must be really desperate. They make it sound like a premium service but from what I heard most of the time the online experience is garbage. That’s why I never payed for any subscription for the service let alone the free trail.

@SkyloftSword It's kinda funny how they know Nintendo isn't fond on mods yet they'll broadcast like a whole tournament on it. Least they aren't getting taken down which they very easily could and it's a Japanese Copyright issue at the end of the day anyway.

You know what? I WOULD pay that extra for the premium subscription if I knew we would be getting a steady stream of games in the service. But NES/SNES games addition was GLACIAL. Only a few games were getting added whenever #nintendo felt like and the servivce felt abandoned.

@itsmegamatt Gamepass is defintiely way more appealing than this service. If we get GameCube or Sega Saturn/Dreamcast games later down the line than $50 is relatively reasonable. But it shouldn't be no more than $40. But this is Nintendo we are talking about

You can still kinda do this on Xbox and PlayStation and lots of series' have nice collections now but Nintendo is so eager to lock their old **** behind a subscription service so u don't actually own ur **** and when they do make ports or collections they're overpriced

Won't be resubscribing. @NintendoAmerica bring back virtual console, because you just killed your own already weak online service to the point where I don't want to get either online subscription.

@LuigiBlood my feeling is that they aren't serious about the Nintendo Online emulators, but they are serious about software as a service in the long run, I see this as testing the waters to see if we are willing to rent our games instead of buy. I prefer the option to pay once.
