I'll try it for Smash Online. If it's good I may stay (though I doubt it)



Around the Network

Not yet.
I am mostly playing Octopath Traveler these days, and I should finish Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion as well.
If I want to go online, I would probably play Paladins here and there.
The NES games being offered do nothing for me as I have played them all many times, and own them on my Wii U and also on a Raspberry Pi...
Cloud saves are meh for me, since I never take my Switch out of my home.
If they actually offer something compelling with the special offers, or start offering SNES, GCN or Wii games as part of the subscription, then I'll rethink things.

Sounds awkward. I hope your brother's wife is not the mother of your kids.

Not sure if that's a joke but I've never even met my brothers wife plus I'm still with the mother of my kids



I am not buying it because the last time I did that online gaming thing on a Nintendo system, TWRoO buggered off to another site to get away from me.



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

Around the Network

No. At least not at launch. I rarely play multiplayer games , especially on Switch, so I don't see the point why should I pay.



 

I think I will. I do play my share of online games and $20 per year is nothing. And I also like NES games so after 20 years it will be cool to finally play with someone that knows what they are doing. I also think they will offer games from other platforms at some point, the NES catalogue is not exactly infinite.



I think the thing that upsets me the most about this is that it....like...it's 20 bucks, people. Nintendo knows it's not as good as PSN or XBL, that's why they're not charging as much for it. Yeah, it's upsetting when one thing that was once free now costs money - hated it when PS3 did it as well - but it's 20 bucks...a year.

It's worth it.

Some people need to get over it.



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

Yes. It's $20. A year.



i'll get it. Try to play smash. Get annoyed at the rediculous lag and let it expire. Hopefully i'm wrong about the latter. smash wii-u was playable several months post launch i suppose. So yeah i'll try it. Hell, i can see myself getting it ala carte too. leave it expired, then get a month if a friend wants to play something non-f2p online. Mostly just for that one session. It's cheap enough to justify buying a month for a single play session if i'm rarely using it otherwise.
