Nintendo games will become obsolete so I don't really want to buy them.

That'll happen when people stop paying full price for 10 year old games.

Google Stadia and Amazon Luna. They're not very good but it's a thing.

Nintendo shuts down their online infrastructure so you have to buy the new console.

I would buy a switch if the graphics looked like something from last gen at the very least, had reasonable third party support, and if they knew how to make something other than the 100th version of a game they made for years.

...Well that's why I haven't bought a Switch yet.

with Xbox I can just buy new systems and Game Pass is means you don't have to buy any games that will be left behind and may not work one day.

Their online subscription service has NES and SNES games, with additional systems coming soon.

No new games for you.

Maybe Game Pass for Switch?

Then Nintendo would be incentivized to put its own games on there.

Not happening. They wouldn't get as much money that way. GamePass exists because the games get people to use Windows / XBox over Linux or PlayStation for their games. Nintendo already know people will come to them for the exclusives, they don't need a game pass service to attract people. During the XBO, Microsoft had only a few exclusives, and half of them were Kinect games.

Switch wouldnt be able to run many games anyway, but if you get Game Pass you get free Nintendo Pass access.

Yeah, but Nintendo Pass won't happen.

Microsoft does it because people could go elsewhere for almost everything there, but they can pay a sub for them and not pay for them on PS4 or Steam.

Nintendo, you can't go elsewhere for Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, etc, so why would they let you pay less for them? Does this make sense to you yet?

My reaction to this is that I just stopped playing most Nintendo games. Ill play one every now and then but Im hardly gonna jump through hoops when there are so many other great games to play.

They sell their old games for high prices. Or have you not noticed the 3D compilation, the Skyward Sword remake, etc.

People but Game Pass and thats good for MS. People buy the Switch and thats good for Nintendo.

You are ignoring reality at this point. Microsoft uses it to attract customers to their system. Nintendo does that with their exclusives, that often sell even at higher prices.They don't have any reason to do a game pass service, it would lose them money. I keep pointing this out.

EA gives EA Play away for free with Game Pass, so MS makes deals.

Its obviously profitable for them.

Oh hey, it works for a company that otherwise wouldn't sell most of this stuff, so Nintendo should also go to a $120 a year plan, rather than $60 every game they sell. And suddenly they are losing loads of money, because they no longer sell a bunch of games to most of their users each year. Whoops.

Two different companies with two different plans. But hey, you want new games now without paying full price, so why would reality matter.

Is any of this getting through to you?

I bought a switch because I like the game and portability. Honestly, Im not sure gamepass would be worth it for me personally. So, it probably doesnt matter much

No one said it was difficult. Nintendo wont do it because they dont want to lose money. And if they do it, they lose money from most customers

No thanks.

Anything that requires an internet connection is suspect IMO. I still want the carts - I don't want to have to wait for updates or update at all if I so choose. 99% of my gaming is done on the road, so zero interest in any subscription based services.
