Nintendo subscription (ex-online MP). How much should we give Nintendo?

I can see a system where

1) you have all the same free vs paid tier separation as MSony do on their consoles. Meaning apps and stuff are in the free tier but online gaming, cloud saves, etc are in paid tier.
2) you earn coins in the Nintendo reward system that currently exists. This allows you to save up for the various items they offer.
3) current Nintendo rewards system is beefed up and now starts to offer digital copies of games based on coin values of some sort.

This allows Nintendo to be competitive and build off of the rewards system they already have in place. Would actually drive its usage.


As for cost, Nintendo is a firm believer in their value proposition but they won't push higher than MSony. So, this would remain at the same pricing as their services.

I don't see Nintendo ever charging for online MP, not in the near future anyway.

Using stars/coins is what I was thinking. X amount/month to spend on whatever is available at the digital or 'physical' member's store. I'd give members first dibs on the SNES-classic. Let Nintendo members-only buy as many as they want for resale on Ebay.

£40/yr is a steal for back catalog access depending on where it stops.
