Probally those that charge a fee to play on them normally such as DQX and FFXIV(I can wish). I remember when Live! first went live and they charged for the internet ontop of the fee the game was charging but that changed after a few years, to if they charge a fee, to use the company's own servers then they will not require you to be subscribed.
As for the the topic itself. It is a pretty good price when you consider as someone put it that it is now the "Netflix" of classic gaming. If they only have NES titles to begin with and go into SNES/N64 it would be excellent. Imagine playing multiplayer in Secret of Mana, or Tecmo Bowl, or Golden Eye, heck playing the orginal Super Mario titles are more enjoyable with Luigi in tow. Up to the N64 most titles are small and would allow for a hybrid streaming where the game is loaded into memory first then you can play. And the favorites are stored on the system. This is almost enough to justify the $20/year.
But I have to say the voice chat is still an abomination, though I can live with it, it's still unesscessarily complicated. Though they can make it "better" by releasing a premium hook up where a blutooth adapter fits into the switch and the phone/headset syncs to that, through in an AV out for those who like wires on the headphones. Then the phone can be on your lap for the network app. And as for those who are unfortant enough to have a Windows phone, most store sell andriod devices for $20 or less that you can just use at home as a Nintendo interface device.
