Nintendo Switch Online is so frustrating because they're taking an online service that is at most modestly better than Nintendo Network and charging $20/year for it. I know you can get it cheaper per person if you have the Family Plan, but the Family Plan doesn't make sense or is outright not possible for certain people.
And then you have the Expansion Pass which is becoming a much better value than when it launched but is still too expensive (rightfully so) in the minds of many.
Switch Online should be free. And the free tier can include NES games, if nothing else.
The Expansion Pass could be $20-$30 a year and include most of what it does already, plus some other platforms.
Then maybe make an Ultimate Tier that is $90-$100 a year that includes all the platforms from previous tiers, GCN/Wii games, and even some Switch games.
They really need dedicated servers, system voice chat, and profile searches (no friend codes). These last things I mentioned will almost surely wait until Switch's successor if they happen.
