@JoJoJosiah_ttv @NintendoAmerica I've never gotten this mindset. "Then don't buy it". Okay, they won't. People know they aren't being forced to buy it. They have a right to not buy it. They also have a right to be critical if they feel a service is poor and overpriced. That's what they're doing.

My thoughts on Nintendo increasing the price to their online service It's not enough to get me to sub to their service. Nintendo online was never good to me and them adding old *** 64 and Sega games are not enough to get me to invest in this. And the price increasing by so much

@Dinfire I think Nintendo plans to add more systems in the future and they want to avoid increasing the price later on. It's too expensive now but it will become more interesting if they add GBA, Gamecube or even Wii games to the service.

@NintendoAmerica Why do we need animal crossing dlc? You easily hack that game? The service doesn’t have a dedicated game and voice chat party system.

@NintendoAmerica N64 and Genesis games should have come with the $20 annual package. The only way it would be justified to raise price is if they added party chat and improved online service drastically. Some bs. Im not buying

@NintendoAmerica yeah no 50 dollars is way too much. 25 or 30 would have been acceptable. to be honest seeing how bad and infrequent the nes and snes service gets updated. the n64 and genesis upgrade probably should of just been free.

@TheDezembro @YongYea It looks nice on paper until to realize how barebones Nintendo’s online is. No party chat, no game invites, can’t message friends, no achievements and constant connection issues. It sucks!

@CupOfJoe65 @YongYea Aaah I see, I remember pretty bad complaints about that service around the time of Nintendo Switch's release. Sad to see they're still around.

I think w/ Nintendo adding the paid update of Animal Crossing to their online subscription makes me think that it might become more of a game as a service. With consumers paying a subscription fee for AC, this could mean long term updates.

especially for controllers that are decades old. and i could go on and on but im sure as you can see by now, for every 1 thing that nintendo switch online does right, it does 2 things wrong. the only reason i believe that people payed for the service is because it was cheap...

nintendos bad online servers, or in most cases, both. 2, yes, while you do get a variety of classic nintendo games to play, its locked behind an online subscription service albeit for the trade of having more games to play than just one. but nintendo originally had a different...

@theskullkidtv @AndreSegers The issue is, there's people who say this is okay, and it promotes more toxic, unhealthy business practices. And the fact that Nintendo goes so hard to demonize and DMCA the rom sites that give out the roms they now are selling to you, for $30. Its the promotion of toxic business

@MercuryCurry_ @OrdinaryGamers People can have the right to buy it, that's not an issue. What is an issue is them saying how much the service is worth while, and the price is actually goood, when Nintendo are doing the bare minimum.

@raidonbungeling It is too steep. I don't need it, but I will get it. I don't think they had a choice, though. Apparently Sega demanded high licensing costs. Nintendo is trying to increase the value by including the AC DLC, but not everyone will want that, and it creates potential problems.

@YongYea 20 bucks was pretty pricy. They're thinking their online service is on par with Xbox and Playstation now? Oof, I love emulating my old games, I'll continue to do so, especially because it's my entire library, not what ever Nintendo can find at a drip feed rate.

@TheZephyr27 @IvoryLagi_IF @Deezus_Walks Nintendo does have a problem with discounts that's understandable. But I can't remmember a sale with ps now that didn't go above 33% tbh. Normal sales were pretty good though

Individual price for Nintendo switch online + 64 and genesis…. 4.16 cents a month. Current price: $2.99 without gen and 64. It’s 1.17 cents more a month for 64 and genesis games. What’s the problem?

@WeeblesJeebles @ThatMarioFanBo1 so will you take up this totally reasonable offer and not at all nintendo being delusional that their service is worth this amount of dollars right?

Like Nintendo's classic games are all locked behind a paid subscription service... Why can't I just find the game I want to play and download it to play as much as I want? Who do I have to pay $50 a year to have Paper Mario, or $20 a year just to play the original Zelda?

@Nintendeal I was in it at $30 maybe $35 max but at $50...your out your mind nintendo. Until they fix the online experience like having basic communication with friends then I'll think about it till then I'm out

@VGDadPlays Its not a bad deal for what it is but all those games should be free at this point and the Nintendo online service isn't even worth the base $20/year IMO. My gripe is that they didn't fix the online and are charging $50 for games that should be in the public domain.

$50 for that Nintendo service is dumb wild. All that and you still got a 15 digit Nintendo prison number and no real online communication or community👎🏿

@itsTomokocchi The basic problem here is that Nintendo has to show everyone this will pan out, rather than us speculating possibilities while we still don't even have EarthBound or SMRPG. But watch those be magically exclusive to NSO+EP.
