@BrouidWoW @KRoolKountry @NintendoAmerica I think some other people have been having similar issues with bad connections. Not everyone though (I don't have it, not planning to get it soon, and don't have anyone to play it with. I'm basing this off of a few livestreams on YouTube. A few had connection issues and

@NintendoAmerica No thanks. This expansion is more expensive than the service itself. It's like ordering a burger and pay more than double it's price for an extra slice of cheese.

@treystar679 @NintendoAmerica Imagine thinking that criticizing a service for being overpriced is being toxic.

@NintendoAmerica I’d probably sign up now if it weren’t for the fact that scalpers swooped up all of the classic N64 controllers despite the site saying I could add it to my cart it just kept giving me an error…

@MelPlayz90 @NintendoAmerica I'm completely with you on that. I almost never play online. Still, it's a service the other two do consistently well, and for this large of an increase, one would hope the big N would use the $$ to invest more into making theirs better. Would def address the outrage.

@CharlesChazen @IntroSpecktive People like you are part of the problem. You don't want actual good practices from these companies and it's obvious. Nintendo execs aren't gonna **** you It's a blatant rip off through and through, and paying them is going to encourage them to push the envelope

@NintendoAmerica Question: if you already own the family plan would you still have to pay full price for the expansion pack or is there a way to upgrade your service for to make up for the rest of the payment?

@SamborgShitPost @NintendoAmerica I'm lucky with switch online as I don't get much lag is any, I am wondering if N64 and mega drive or (genesis) never got the name change will suffer.

@DejaVu_FGC @NintendoAmerica It is! I'm going to check my bank statement in a couple days. Hopefully I'm able to be able a expansion member by time I do check it. Then all will be good otherwise I'm gonna have to figure out how to get refunded if I can't use their service.

@Greghoganjr I would love to play GoldenEye again but I have a feeling it’s locked up in right issues between Nintendo, Microsoft and Rare.

@WavePrism_ @NintendoAmerica Im pretty there's no paid service that isn't monthly. This has to be the first yearly only.

@NintendoAmerica The bad thing is not the cost of this """service""", the bad thing is that they probably won't use the money they get with it to improve it.

I’m calling it right now; Nintendo is gonna release damage control measures for their various criticisms and dumb actions they’re doing for the Nintendo Switch AOLine Expansion Pack to hopefully get any good will back from anyone rather skeptical about the service.

@NintendoAmerica Could you work on the online service? Only then would that be justified in buying the expansion pack

@Akfamilyhome It's still hillarious that Nintendo makes you pay for the same online service that they gave out for free when the switch first came out

It's not like Nintendo doesn't have other systems of their own they could've added to the service to make up the difference, the entire line of Game Boy systems is right ******* there. Just give us some GB and GBC games alongside the N64 titles, God...

@NintendoAmerica I would normally take your side, but this is messed up... The Reduced price is not even equivalently covering over half a year of days left, that 6c is peanuts at this point. Some games features are broken due to a lack of some sort. I would ask a refund on it with this mislead.

@bufferpigeon Nintendo can take their system level remapping feature and shove it up their ***, really. Also, said feature won't be able to fix all the issues with this. You cannot rebind the analog directions to the buttons using it. It's also not on a game by game basis.

Stop caring.

@NintendoAmerica GUYS Buy wii U virtual console games and back them up to get roms legally and ethically. It is cheaper, isn't a subscription service, and emulating your roms gices you the best possible options to play your games.
