@NintendoAmerica I think it would nice if you added more voice chat options to this service. Like Bluetooth mic support to coexist with Bluetooth earbuds, or even new pro controllers with headset jacks. I'll take anything and subscribe in an instant.

@Pancake_XIII That's the worst part. I don't have a single care in the world for animal crossing and i was actually excited for this new online service Oh well it's Nintendo. What did we expect?

Nintendo Online pricing has reached the point of sheer indifference to me. I'm never going to buy this awful service, so now I just laugh at the latest Rude Goldberg style pricing models they try to introduce. Call me when I can attach my purchases to an account for future use

@Aha07Aha07 @OnTheDownLoTho @NintendoAmerica Not me. If nintendo has proved anything that is they will add ****** games to the lineup. I could've accepted that for a extra 5 or 10 a year. But fact is the nintendo service is about be charged damn near what live and psn+ is without some of the key features is insane

@DragSlayerVlogs Yeah... not like this. I'll be sticking with the regular so-so Nintendo Online service for now.

@SickTv4k I believe he's saying he feels Nintendo is overcharging for the quality of their service and what they offer.

@ChrisChiquito @HMKilla The problem is that there's no voice chat, the online sucks it's not great at all. If it had good online multiplayer & voice chat then I wouldn't mind paying the $50, but just paying $50 for having online and a couple of Nintendo 64 games it's not worth it in my opinion.

Idea! Nintendo fans hate emulation (unless it’s Nintendo doing it). So instead of locking online behind a yearly subscription with emulation as a bonus, make emulation the service and have suckers pay for what can be done for free, and better!

@DNAD23 Most NES/SNES games probably have a lot of licensing issues, but we should have all (or most) Nintendo owned games for this service... But the small amount of games gives them leeway to slowly trickle out new games to give the illusion of "continuously improving" the serivce

@Corrack @NintendoAmerica I dunno, given that some Atlus titles were released to the service in the past, I think that might be a good choice of inclusion. Might even include other Atlus-published titles.

@Fuzion_MikeTE That makes sense considering that Nintendo doesn’t even have a great online service to begin with

@babeybug817 Expansion pass to the Nintendo Switch online service. Makes you pay over double the price for barely any new features.

Holy **** the Switch online with expansion pass is way too much. Not sure how Nintendo thought it was worth it to more than double the cost of the service itself.

Everyones talking about nintendo’s online is too expensive *now* Not only is any amount too much for how poor nintendos online service is Paying anything to use the internet youre already paying for to play games is absolutely horrid. Can we please stop this practice?

So @NintendoAmerica let's address the real issue. Where is Ogre Battle 64? Huh? What's the deal!!!!

@DarkAspie @NintendoAmerica I personally don't see an issue, but I can see how a $30 price jump can cause some sticker shock.

@RGT_85 You do like to defend Nintendo a lot don’t you? This is a horrible deal. It only makes sense for people that play Animal Crossing. A lot of us that don’t are paying $30 extra for decades old roms on an online service that is average at best.

So @NintendoAmerica thinks their dogshit online service is worth $50 now just because they're gonna drip feed 25 year old n64 games now? Hard pass

@imranzomg @patrickklepek Live service games basically have to get regular updates otherwise people are going to lose interest and stop buying the micro-transactions (skins, battle passes, in-game items etc). Nintendo games don't have this component.

@ThatSephence @maggot_not_real @NintendoAmerica Don't encourage them on it, the audience shouldn't have accepted this manipulation from the start This service is unfair to those who have a low budget،Why do I have to pay again after I bought a game for 50 dollars or more? It is fraud and manipulation

Ngl, this might be the first time I feel iffy on Nintendo's pricing for NSO. I didn't have an issue before because I thought it was fine for $20 but charging $50 is a BIG ask imo.

@josephbirdsong Issue is twofold: quarantine meant ppl burned out faster, plus if all of this was released at launch, we’d be bored now. Nintendo obvs didn’t account for early burnout so that’s on them for not adjusting.

@NintendoAmerica I think it would be great if you added more voice chat options to this service. Like Bluetooth mic support to coexist with Bluetooth earbuds, or even new pro controllers with headset jacks. I'll take anything and subscribe in an instant. Messaging would be cool too.

@KahlifLEGOGAMES @JonComms Over nothing, you say. So having a bad service and x2,5 the price when something "good" gets added seems like nothing to you. Also, emulating 20+ year old games that aren't on sale anymore and belong to a long-dead console won't take away anything from Nintendo.

@NintendoAmerica Lol it ain't that expensive calm down Nintendo manbabies! Consider getting a job if 50 dollars a year for online is too expensive for you In fact, I bet many of you probably have no problem paying that much for Xbox Live or PSN!

@AllMyHerosRGecs @RuinedHaikyo Why does emulation not equal fun? Emulation is the best way to play Nintendo period. I'd understand your argument if the online service was your backing, but it isn't. If I'm out and about with friends at a restaurant or park bench, we use my phone to play Brawl or Melee.

And I’ll be honest the pricing doesn’t even sound THAT bad for the online expansion. Xbox game pass runs up to $180 yearly does it not? PlayStation $60 yearly? I still won’t be getting Nintendo’s online service but seeing people flip out over it not being like $10 is wild

@Zari_Wari @NintendoAmerica My main issue with Retroarch's UI is the way the settings work so idk if this would fix it for me, so I'm probably just gonna stick with individual emulators ad Steam as a frontend
