Mario Tennis Aces free full-game trial for NSO subscribers through 7th August to 13th (UK, EU, US)
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
The sub costs $40 less than PSN and Gold, so you can't expect free games each month like they do, or do you want the sub to cost $60?
'free games' eh. I'd still rather just have reliable online gameplay, standard communication functionality, and not have to pay for p2p connections.
Ah, sorry, my bad. I was assuming that the argument was about the game being available to all users. Anyway, you can't really compare a 20 $ at year service vs a 60 $ at year service.

Also 30% off
I would have preferred Captain Toad but hell, as little interest as I had in this game at and since release, I'll give Mario Tennis Aces a try if they're just... letting us play it.
Not for keeps. You're able to play it within the listed time period. That's it.
I'll give it a whirl. I've been thinking of buying it lately; I held off on buying it at launch because I felt a bit burned over the state Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash was released in.
Edit: Surprised they didn't start with Arms, I thought for sure that's the title they'd want to give a boost to.

I wouldn't mind paying $60 if the service was comparable to the others.
Yes, $40 difference but even at $20 it's a shit implementation in the first place. This Mario Tennis offering is clearly inspired by the PSN/XBO complimentary games offering provided for subscribers.
This is such a great idea and a no brainer.
I'm surprised they didn't do this with ARMS. That seems like a no brainer, a Switch Year 1 game that was super successful but a new IP and everyone didn't try.

Dude what? Literally PS4 does the same thing: Game "Demos"/Timed Trials and Cloud Saves are behind a paywall, granted for more money.
This is not something Nintendo invented, they're just copying others. I don't get why you're upset just copying what Sony is doing, and at least charging you less for it.
They could have copied Microsoft, who does not gate cloud saves behind their sub. There is more than one competitor to copy from in the console space. And I'm an old school PC gamer too. I get aggravated at seeing the progress from shareware, to demos to now gated demos with no push back from consumers. A demo is supposed to generate sales, why are you putting it behind a frigging paywal if not to milk even more $ from folks? Wouldn't it actually be better if more people could try it?
NSO paid itself off with the voucher program which saved me like $80.
Kind of regret buying Mario Tennis, not because it's bad but because I never played it for whatever reason and now it's free for a week.
If you still think it's too expensive, there's the Mario Maker+NSO Bundle that's just $10 more.
If you have amazon prime you can get a year for free too.

...you do realize that Nintendo is still releasing demos that don't require NSO, right? They've literally already had 2 demos for MTA previously.
You can play the whole game for a week. That's not a tradional demo. The free to play weekends and stuff on PSN are not demos either.

Oh cool. About time. Glad that Nintendo's finally doing something similar to Sony's Plus Trials, Microsoft's Free Play Days, and Steam's Free Weekends.
It'll be nice to see some new players online, if at least for a week.

It's a limited-time rental. You don't get to keep it. That's a demo.
It's a limited-time rental of the full game. That's not a demo.

So if it was a demo that you got to keep, would that be a full game? The mental gymnastics going on are amazing.
Wish you could keep it but since it's not a game I plan on getting anytime soon I may check it out.
There are a lot of cheap options:
In single you can buy the Mario maker bundle for 10+ euros, or the future tetris bundle. Or the Twitch promotion.
If you have 6 friend, you can subscribe a family pass for 5 euro at head (my subscription)
To be honest it's not even been a year and it has surpassed my expectations handidly. It has been well worth the small cost.
It's basically the same as the Testfires for Splatoon, in that you can screw around for a certain amount of time. The thread title suggests that they're giving you the game to keep no strings attached, with a week to redeem the offer
Testfires were only available for like 2 hours at different times across a weekend. And they were just one mode.
This is the full game that you can play for an entire week. The date is the duration in which the game is available to play.
It's no different really from this:
It's not. Testfires were limited to a small part of the content.
