That’s not my point. Emulation wouldn’t go away. This is, like most things, an option. A choice. Nintendo would be offering a service that you could (likely) do for free, for the same price annually as a AAA title.

@Rafraud @ArcanaLegacy @J0nSPEC Unfortunately Nintendo doesn’t really use servers from my understanding most of it is p2p which is why so many people have issues. Unless both parties are within reasonable distance with good internet the experience isn’t going to be a good one.

Hm, there's a point to be made about folks who were fighting hard about emulating Metroid Dread and suddenly they had a table flipped on them when Nintendo raised the price with a subscription service. Morality changed fast there, didn't it?

@DoomAssistMe But at the same time, Capcom has been licensing out NES & SNES game to Nintendo for the base service, so their licensing fees clearly aren't THAT much. Then again, Emily's description sounds more like the Capcom/Konami/etc. licensing fees stacked on top of the SEGA fees.

hey im just gonna say as someone whos been a nintendo fan since i was literally a toddler: there’s no way im touching that new online service. n64 games shouldve been included from the start, not for $50 a year.

@Dragonqueen0816 @AustinJohnPlays It’s not about trash or gold points of view, bc the the games there are amazing, (to most people at least), it’s how Nintendo executed the service and how they’re trying to justify it even tho some of us don’t play Animal Crossing.

@NintendoAmerica terrible decision to put the animal crossing dlc in the online pack... not everyone has the game (or plans to buy it), and its addition overall just raises the service's price... and the price raise was absurd!!! more than double the standard online subscription... I'm disgusted.

Let’s follow this thread a little more. One thing I would LOVE to see Nintendo do would be to put the top 100 (best selling, best reviewed) games from each of their console libraries on one system. It’s SUPER unlikely due to licensing issues but hear me out.

Is it too late to announce a revision of your prices for the n64 and genesis addon? Maybe reduce it by half. Or add features similar to Xbox's online service or Playstations... make it feel like a premium service... You guys can fix this... @NintendoAmerica

(@AmberIsAQT) reported
@Ninto55 oh god no I don't want Nintendo to be pre planning all their DLC beforehand and tying it to a subscription service that just sounds like it's encouraging Nintendo to put less content in their games at launch and then hide half of the content behind DLC

(@thestraysheep17) reported
@Levrit1 @BeatemupsWood Game Pass and Gold have merged into one service with more games on offer ranging from AAA titles to indies. PS+ we get PS5, PS4 AND VR games (at least in the next 3 months). Whereas this is just Nintendo baiting nostalgia on games you can just as easily emulate on any device.

@RoseSilicon @AdAstra_GL @DeltaIcarus Oh for sure yeah, gamefreak/Nintendo I feel are notorious for inefficient code, maybe in past they just thought it wouldnt have consequences because its a trpg? But like with dpp the most notorious glitch I know of it legit lagging the loading system to walk out of bounds

Nintendo's online infrastructure does not need fixing. No, what they need to do is hire people to train the devs how to make good netcode. That's the *real* issue here. Compare Smash and Monster Hunter. Online, Smash runs like ****. MH runs perfectly. The difference? Netcode.

It sounded to me when I was reading earlier that multiple DLCs would be included in this Like that by subscribing to the expansion pass you’d get future Nintendo DLCs for free. And that’s an interesting idea for a subscription service

I have no problem paying $50 for a year of Nintendo online server with the n64 and SEGA genesis online but the problem is that the yearly is the only one available

@NintendoAmerica The expanded service should be $20 a month and the original service should be free since I know it doesn’t cost you anything to run these servers off of a actual potato

@RGT_85 People can complain all they want, if they buy it from Nintendo it'll just validate their pricing and their complaints will go down the drain. If the service doesn't sell, they MIGHT reevaluate the price... but let's be real, Nintendo's brand is at Apple's level of self-absorbed

@ValerieValHalla Exactly, and there’s a reason there’s a family sub tier on their service. The primary audience for Nintendo systems isn’t single 30-somethings with disposable income, it’s families with kids. There’s what maybe a dozen rated M games for the platform?

Everyone is mad because Nintendo is charging $50 for an underwhelming online service and they also know that they’re going to go ahead and pay for it anyway. If they weren’t buying it, why would they even care? We’re all convinced this is some sort of mandatory tax or something.

Heads up for those of you who want to get the DLC via Nintendo Online. The new service starts on the 25th of this month!

Why are they charging more than twice as much for a Nintendo online add on that changes nothing about the online service 💀

The fact people have had to stop and ask "Wait, we get to KEEP the Animal Crossing DLC even if we dont continue the online service..." speaks volumes of how little people trust Nintendo with modern online gaming business.

@CrimVicious @animalcrossing Iam doing the 25 dollar preorder and waiting for my 20 dollar Nintendo online service to run out in December, and I don't think the animal crossing dlc will run out bc it's basically a second spinoff game cheaper than the main game

Nintendo now: $50 a year subscription for a lacklustre online service compared to the rest of the market Netflix style service with a limited selection of classic nes-SNES games ( with n64 costing extra ) $60 wii ports

@BeatemupsWood And $50 to $60 for PS+ and XBL Gol isn't? When Nintendo Sqitch Online first launched, everyone was saying a price increase wouldn't bother them if the service worked better.. well now we getting it.. did people expect the price to only go up a little?

@No322233 i’d easily pay Nintendo $60 to have both of the first 2 games on the Switch 😩 i was lucky to catch Origami King for $25 on a Target store price error, been meaning to try it out. that’d be my first Paper Mario game lol

@CroakieX @BeatemupsWood Xbox gets a functional online service with multitudes of games that work online without hiccup. Nintendo can’t even get Smash to work online and it’s been years. And I do have an N64 with most the games I care about. I’m making an observation on a bad service

@mangybones my dude I was in camp "nintendo ****** animal crossing up and has no intent to fix it" but the direct is 20 minutes long, only the first 40 seconds are about brewster, and then there's 19 straight minutes of "HOLY ****" updates. They botched E3 and took too long to show this, but
