Not even talking about the quality of thé online or thé number of online games.

Im talking about the games offered with thé paid service , they will only be playable for one month :

 

Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.

PS Plus is $69.95 per year.
Xbox Live Gold is $59.99 per year.

Nintendo Switch Paid Service is ?

So how do you determine is it already bad by comparison when you don't know the cost?

60$ for PS+

 

I read 60$ too for Nintendo Switch so yes you can compare



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Can you provide source? You can simply say you read, and not provide the source. 



 

Is local multiplayer still free if it uses more than one system offline?



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

It shoulnt cost as much as ps+ and gold that would be another huge fail by Nintendo. The Switch has barley any MP games to justify it and could you imagine paying 120 or 180 bucks as a multi console owner? Thats wont work out for the consumer but the fact that they didnt tell the price yet shows that they really do plan 60 bucks if no one will complain enough.



Cool!

What are you hoping the correct translation will be?

You can download the games for a month.  Not that you can only play them for a month.

I don't think that would make much sense if the games could still be played after a month, which leads me to think even playing the games is restricted to just one month...



(with newly-added online play)

Wait... are they adding online play to NES and SNES games?



So it seems like you get to keep the free games for aslong as you subscribe, and Nintendo will chose the game(s) so the pool off players is as large as possible online, So they adding online MP to nes/snes games?



I actually kinda welcome paid online. Nintendo was never going to do a half-decent service for free. They are too cheap for that. At least if its paid, they are now accountable for having a decent service.

At least you would think so.



It can be okay if it costs less than the competition. A lot less.
