@NintendoAmerica AND THE GAMES, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY, OWN, AND KEEP OUR GAMES. AND YOUR PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS. REALLY GET WITH THE TIMES. PLEASE GET WITH THE TIME. YOUR ONLINE SERVICE IS MISSING SO MANY BASIC FEATURES THAT OTHER CONSOLES HAVE HAD FOR DECADES NOW.

@Mariojjam @Landonian20 @NintendoAmerica The original pricing because the basic service would still be trash even with N64 games

if you give people the option to actually buy the games like the virtual console did, then they will! I would pay 20 bucks to play gamecube games again!!! but Nintendo knows they need to entice people to get their ****** online service so **** you

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 YOUR BASIC SERVICE ISN'T EVEN GOOD, IT'S NOT EVEN OK. NOBODY WANTS TO USE A NINTENDO PHONE APP TO VOICE CHET. CONSOLES HAVE BEEN USING PROPPER IN GAME VOICE CHAT WITH HEADSETS SINCE THE EARLY 2000'S GET WITH THE TIMES!!!!

@agiosgiorgos i’m not much of a fan of any paid online service, but at least competitors offer a pretty fat bonus (discounts, free games, etc etc), nintendo is basically just “here’s games you can just emulate lol, have fun with our windows xp servers”

@Cybershell theres a countdown that says when we will crash into the sun and all die. as it reaches the 24 hour mark, Nintendo decides to add Earthbound to the Switch. there is much rejoicing and praise

@TomBuckley87 @NintendoAmerica This is about buying all of these games officially. If you want to spend $30 extra a year, that's not my problem. I'm explaining how, if you own the provided consoles, you can spend a lot less on these titles. Don't be that one guy that tears everything to make him look right.

@4i2ird @CThreeleaf @NintendoAmerica They give away titles that are actually built for the system. If they included some nice "Switch" game perks with this, I have no issues. Not $30 extra for emulated titles.

(@UnpackCourts) reported
@kowkarot5 Sony, Microsoft, and multiple PC services regularly offer ways for people to play AAA titles at a low cost or many times even free. Nintendo only offers decades old games on their online service and they keep their games at $60 for years after release. They are anti-consumer.

@battlekingcon @NintendoAmerica Some madness justified? Ocarina of Time alone is worth the price of the service. Honestly to me the madness sounds more like spoiled brats not getting what they want for next to nothing like they deserve it or something.

Just had a chat with Nintendo Support about the NSO Expansion Pass, and they have revealed that you do not get to keep the ACNH DLC if you do not renew the subscription, which is really making me question whether I am actually going to subscribe to the service

@TheDazeel And this is the issue I have with Nintendo. Everyone attacks Microsoft and Sony with such vitriol over the smallest of things, but Nintendo do far worse and their fans just accept it

Anyway tying your VC to a subscription is some dumb **** but apparently it's the only thing Nintendo can use to justify pricing their online service.

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

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

Kyle
(@Kylockertwt) reported
@fe_paint I think a 50 dollar value makes sense but looking at how they valued the service already it’s just kind of odd, like why was nes and snes plus every Nintendo online service 20 but just the addition of n64 and genesis is 30 like huh

@TheNCSmaster This could be a way of nintendo giving in i dont see that many people pay 50 bucks a month to a supplemantary service but if that gets them to ds to make a better, i would give both my kidneys for ds games on switch

If #Nintendo can't (eventually) get Rare's titles as part of the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack on #NintendoSwitchOnline, that's going to be a problem. Or at least a grossly underwhelming collection.

extremely disappointed with the nintendo switch online expansion pack pricing. the service is already garbage but bumping it up to A$67 per year for a SINGLE membership (currently, an individual 12 month membership is A$30) is absolutely ******* insane. There are a million other

@TarksGauntlet I don't want to be negative on your tweet, but when have Nintendo shown good and requested games for nes and snes after so many years? Tge service still doesn't have all Nintendo 1st party games like Mother 1 and earthbound, Mario Rpg, and more

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

also heres my piece on the new nintendo switch online: if u dont even own animal crossing and are going to pay 30 more dollars for a mediocre service to play ocarina of time and mario 64 you should just donate it instead and buy a computer

Y’all was too busy telling people a 2D Metroid game was worth $60 so they hit y’all with 50 a year for an evolving service and you hate Nintendo now

garbage service. sure, the new controllers ARE nice, but honestly 8bitdo controllers work just as well as official nintendo controllers and who tf in the year 2021 WANTS to use the three pronged monstrosity of the n64 controller. don't let your nostalgia blind you, that **** was

@InfernoD3stiny @MatttGFX Thing is playstation and Xbox have online service worth paying for. Nintendo feels like the free crap we've always had that had a 20$ price tag slapped on it because they knew they could. But really? $50 a year? Are they mental?

@Shokio_YT You were paying for Nintendo online? W/new games being added to the service? Last I checked, there were more than 100 games. They can’t add every game due to potential licensing issues and fees. New expansion adds additional games for minimal cost. If you don’t like, don’t sub?
