It looks to me like Nintendo is looking to not lose money on the online features, not make a big profit. That's a welcome change from the way they're pricing some of the accessories.

It's not worth my money either way unless they start handing out things that are not like, NES or SNES games, which can be done on any computing device these days with the ability to play online already. I don't need parental services, voice chat is not a big deal, and I don't play anything online other than Mario Kart even on the Wii U or spectate Smash Bros these days, and I doubt that'd change for the Switch so, they are not gonna get my money with that one.

Even if it's $20 in the west that's £15 a year, essentially £1.25 a month, that's a slick price.

It's a greedy move by Nintendo.
I guess that's...tolerable. Still not very enthusiastic about paying for something that should be free.

Wow, that's.. actually a pretty good price. I was expecting much worse.

Why would you even need voice chat if you can't play games online? 12 SNES games x $8 = $96 What are you complaining about? |
No one but Nintendo thinks SNES roms are fairly priced at $8.
So $20-30 a year!? That's basically half price of one game, not bad at all.
Here in Australia for 1 year:
XBL: $80
PSN : $70
If I compared it to the US dollars of XBl and PSN (which is $20 more)I think the Switch price would be:
Switch : $40 - $50
Very good price and much lower than the 2!
Pocky Lover Boy!
