Absolutely worth it once Smash is released, and it'll still be significantly cheaper than the same service on XB1/PS4. I do hope they can improve the service from where it is now (friend codes should be long gone) but it's more than good enough to do what most Switch gamers will use it for, which is play their favorite games online.

I feel much more comfortable paying $60 for an online service from Microsoft than I do paying $20 for Nintendo's.

If you don't need to register the games within a certain period and the catalogue keeps increasing that's already an improvement for me tbh.

Yeah but you also have to buy a Switch so it's way more than 20 a month. You're also going to need power for the system and whatever it costs per month for internet.

That's not really a good argument when they're constantly adding games and the price doesn't change.


They're not going to be constantly adding games.

The biggest thing that annoys me about each service (not sure if Nintendo does this) is putting a paywall behind discounts. It's crap. It's a cheap way to give it some fake value. It's not like the discounts are more significant than digital game stores without subscriptions and this stuff should be all decided by the developers.

I also think they should offer a cheap tier that doesn't offer the monthly 'free' games but we all know why they don't do that.

Outside of the games they give away with the subscription it's really just easy money for them. They're not using the profit to give you some amazing service that justifies paying the premium. Perhaps Microsoft uses Xbox Live revenue to justify their insanely good BC program but I have no idea what Sony (and Nintendo) are doing other than licking their lips over all that money.

But hey this is what the market has decided so here we are. Sony and Nintendo could have forced Microsoft's hand by offering free services but they chose not to. So this is now the status quo and it always will be unless Steam takes over.

It is annoying they always go with NES games. Shouldn't the Switch be powerful enough for say, N64/GCN games??

I don't think we should believe the releasing of new games on this totally-not-VC will be any better than the glacial pace VC has been doing for years.

Yes. But they're not going to blow their load that early.

Also I'm not sure how many N64/GCN games they could feasibly include for $20 a year.
