No its not terible argument, $20 for hole year in order to play games online and you get other benefits, like classic games with online play and eShop deals, is not to much at all, we talking only about 1/3 of that price for hole year.

Whole. The world is whole. As in complete.   The "classic games" are 30 and 40 year old games that USED to be part of the virtual console.  So they better be offering a whole hell of a lot more than just Mario 3 and Doctor Mario.

Specially considering they have to release an app to allow voice chat.

And yes I see"Nintendo eShop deals" mentioned. Sadly they go into no details about that.  That could make it worth it. Very likely doubt it though.  I can't see nintendo ever discounting their big games. Instead probably just discounts off virtual console games.

But you do realise that games like Mario 3 and Doctor Mario had price of $5 each of the virtual console!? So classic games with online functionality are bonus for Switch online, they are not main point of Switch online for $20 per year.
