So when other companies like Sony are giving you current gen games every month for your online subscription... With those prices, I am only gonna get old games?

No thanks... Especially compared to a subscription like Gamepass...

As I pointed out in the OP, Nintendo probably wouldn't put brand new games from current gen devices on something like this. But that doesn't mean there isn't value in it. NSO is entirely focused on old content, some of which hasn't been easily available before. Gamepass is almost entirely about newer content, which is great if all you want to play is stuff that came out in the last 5-ish years (they have older things, but not much). Don't get me wrong, I love Gamepass, but I really wish I could play those series in chronological order. Nintendo has the other problem, plenty of the old stuff but none of the new stuff. If you as a gamer don't value games that aren't current gen, then I could see a subscription like this not being worth it. But if you love old school games, or playing things in chronological order, then something like what Nintendo is offering is more appealing than Gamepass.

I don't really know much about Sony's subscription. Is it old content-focused, like Nintendo Online, or new content focused, like Gamepass, or a bit of both?

Don't need brand new games but would rather have current gen games that are a couple years old. Sony's PS+ gives you PS+ collection which is a selection of PS4 games and also gives you 2-3 games every month. So as an example, if you have a PS5 and PS+, you get games that are developed for the PS5 (Sometimes PS4 BC). Sometimes they are very new and sometimes, they are a few years old. It's also a mix of first and third party games but you have to redeem the game with in the month they appear otherwise it won't be in your library.

I like my old school games but not to that degree. There's value sure but imo, this is a much worse value than what Sony/MS is giving. (Going by those prices that is as we don't know the actual prices)
