Most backlash come from fact that people now need to pay for something that was free before,
that's a normal and expected, I mean even Sony/MS were in same position, in year from now people will get used to fact that you need to pay for online.

Also, online is far from great, but we talking about $20 per hole year, thats just one 1/3 of price of one AAA game.

The thing is your paying for something that isnt better than it was when it was free.

Also nes roms.... a big meh.

Agree 100% with the first point. Nintendo is charging for an online service that’s the same as it’s always been. The paywall has not brought with it superior service. Also that Nintendo app has become a punchline, and cloud saves should really be gratis.

But I disagree with the second point. I’m really enjoying this NES Netflix-style service. According to my play time history, I’ve logged 10+ hours in it, thanks to family and friends who enjoy the old-school accessibility of the titles therein. Paying $17 a year for that (I have a split family plan) is fair, in my mind.
