The things that people are saying in order to justify that 50 dollars for Nintendo online service is ******* crazy to me it almost feels like their trying to convince themselves those people need help

@nintendolife For a whole year it isn’t awful but considering Nintendo’s actual online service, it seems pretty high for a few new old games and supposedly DLC as a ‘bonus’. I feel like the DLC definitely factors into the price.

@nintendolife Overpriced things for reused content. The Nintendo with morals is long gone, they embraced predatory tactics. It is not worth it, plus or gamespass are a much better service.

@PurpleOJ_YT @NintendoAmerica Yes from what I understand as soon as your service lapses you loose access to the DLC. Nintendo is pushing its consumers to far with this nonsense…🤬

@JPSWITCHMANIA I was looking forward to this to play sin and punishment but nintendo seems so out of touch with their pricing lately.Will the new service at least give us a way to play online with friends and actually be able to talk with headsets? Is that a thing yet with Nintendo online lol.

@MysticDistance The AC DLC being part of it at launch is pretty good, but what it faits to advertise is how the service will evolve with things like that in the future. If it gives access to all future Nintendo DLC for free, it might be worth it...

@subtoconnorpls Nintendo doing something ******? Never... Also love how they used the direct to promote their new Nintendo online service with the hook that you will get the DLC for free with it.

@subtoconnorpls Yeah Nintendo is giving us a deal for the dlc, as they're practically giving us a remake to a game which was originally full priced. Tho I don't see the issue for one big update as that's what they did with new leaf too? I see the stuff with the source code tho that was ******

@viddygames4fun Now if it was cheaper we may have talked about it but in Europe it costs 70 Euros and you can buy a PS+ with a way better online service or Xbox live for the same price. I can understand that it's Nintendo and of course the price will be high but in my eyes it's just not worth it

@RosewoodRobin @RabnawazIGuess @Nibellion True. But that's apples and oranges. Microsoft has said that they're trying a different market strategy by incentivizing game pass over software sales. This sort of feels like Nintendo sticking their toe in the water to see how profitable a virtual console subscription service is

@BlocksSega Still don’t even have Nintendo Online. I barely play the other two services online (PS4/XBO) enough to warrant a third service. Not interested in it in the slightest.

@AbairTyler @DojimaDog Such a bad take bro the expansion pack is a scam and Nintendo hasn’t even solved the server issues so the base nso is already a ******* scam and they expect us to pay more for games that are *** old. And that argument is bullshit because for certain games emulation is the only-

@JeffreyHammock @Levrit1 @BeatemupsWood Might add that Nintendo has a bad precedent on how often they add new games. The whole service feels abandoned in its current form. I'm really afraid that once the fanbboys get on board, they'll just keep adding games at a glacial pace, when they feel like it. I don't trust them.

@eurogamer Absolutely nothing 'premium' about Nintendo's Online service - still miles behind XBL in beta nearly 20 years ago 🙄

@NintendoAmerica Now fix the EXP Share for the coming Pokemon games, and fire the moron who made the decision to keep it permanently on.

@T3chJ3t idc about the pirating side of it it's more because people already have issues with Nintendo's weak online, and now they're also charging us more than twice the price to play games we can't buy elsewhere otherwise

@viddygames4fun I am not a Nintendo switch user but it just doesn't make sense to me. There are ways to play the games for free and Nintendo switch online is in no way a better service than the one we already have. That is emulation.

I genuinely don't get why people are so upset about the Nintendo sub price, it's way lower than the majority of services I know. Of course it's a lot in certain countries but that's a whole market issue (services not adjusting prices to regional markets)

@BadassSamurai @NintendoAmerica The glitch requires map markers near the end of the game. Avoid using markers and you should be good

@mrpyo1 Anyone who supports a predatory corp like Nintendo is part of the problem.

@loftipixels @AwfulCabbage @YongYea Pretty much any Nintendo console emulator can be played over parsec online with little to no issues, better visuals/frame rates, and a better connection than Nintendo offers. Their online service sucks and we shouldn't defend their money grabbing bull.

@crescendotto I think the issue would be mitigated if Nintendo actually had good online so people wouldn't care of paying more for optional stuff.

@ericxlive @theWellRedMage And that's weird to. I think all the service you have to pay for on console are dumb. You can disagree if you want, but we didn't pay at the start and some company took money for it... It worked out and other companies copied it. But Nintendo online imo is just bad so...

@ryanricardo76 @HunterN64_ Yeah bro, PS+ is atrocious as well. Just cause I don't like Nintendo's bad business practices doesn't mean I praise Sony's bad business practices as if they're good. Game Pass is the only service I fee understands the value it offers as well as the consumers who understand too.
