As an asshole, here's what I would do: Tiers.

-If you subscribed, you get NES games every month.
-After six months, you gain access to SNES games.
-Another six months? GBA and GB titles.
-Six more months ? Nintendo 64!
-Still with us? GameCube games. Maybe even Wii games.

If your subscription laps for any reason, you either drop down a tier OR if you really want to be an ass, start back at day one. I'd just keep dangling that carrot.

I don't think that is necessary - with the time based tiers. The reason people are getting short one month subscriptions is because they aren't sure if they want Switch Online. They don't need tiers they just need more value right off the bat. I'd be pretty pissed if I had to wait six months, a year or more to get all the benefits. That'd be awful for customers. They just need throw out a bunch of games from other systems besides the NES. Adding online functionality to these games is cool but that adds to the time it takes to release them. Just release the games first and then maybe with a later update add online functionality to some of them. Switch Online would be an amazing deal if it becomes a full on subscription replacement for the VC, meaning they have at least NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA libraries on there.

 

Here are the steps:

Turn the NES library into a full on subscription-based VC replacement with multiple systems.

Add voice chat built in to online games instead of the stupid phone app.

Update matchmaking in Mario Kart and any other games that have awful matchmaking (i couldn't believe it when I couldn't join a match as a group with my brothers and instead we just had to play our own game against CPU players, that is beyond ridiculous).
