Nikkei rumor: Nintendo planning additional online services aimed at pleasing core gamers (possible mistranslation)

I'd certainly pay more for those. But, it would seem odd to add higher brackets for more different classic console games. And I wonder how they would handle the upgrade for people who are months into their annual subscription.
Their online sucks ass and missing basic features, that are included in the competitors service while demanding money for this is just broken shit
They have enough "enthusiasts" that this will work.
Funny seeing how we've regressed from Mario 64 available day one on the 2006 Wii. To hoping SNES titles are included with the premium online service. rofl
Would gladly pay 5-10 a year more for virtual console. Even though $20 is basically an impulse, the current online is an absolute ripoff. If they're going to up the price they should only increase it by a very small amount and they should be adding A LOT of value to be worth it.
If it's only SNES, lol. Goodbye.

This could be decent if at least they let you opt out certain platforms.
Like if you want only SNES games you can pay only for those, instead of paying for the whole thing.

If they can do as on switch they could make 3ds work too.
Though I'd prefer remaster for 3ds games and not emulation
Kid icarus uprising hd please.
Is this the first sign (IF THIS IS TRUE) of arrogant Nintendo being back due to the Switch success?
Well there is certainly a subset of fanbases that will accept and even cheer any decision no matter how bad it is, Nintendo fans are no exception.
It may be a completely different subscription, like Game Pass.
Fuck you Nintendo. First fix your shitty online system before thinking of adding 'premium' features.
I think Nintendo's silence is telling, but I'd personally wait until they divulge concrete details in March to judge.
They originally announced at the Switch launch event that NES & SNES games would be part of the service when it launched.
But they also said you would be able to send invites and set play appointments via the shit phone app so it's several things they've failed to deliver on in regards to online
It more than likely n64 & GameCube games, anyone that thought they were getting them for the price they charge at the moment was crazy.
Basically. I'm not mad about spending the $34.99 for a family plan for my girlfriend and I, but Nintendo is really doing the bare ass minimum.
It's not broken but it is hardly feature complete for a paid online system in 2019.
It can only really be more games or maybe discounts or something. I don't see how they can add things like messaging or actual voice/party chat etc because how does that work with someone who isn't a subscriber. That would be dumb.
I can see SNES games and possibly indie games being included. If there is any improvement to actual online play/setup etc, I'd think that will come to regular NSO as well.

Why's everyone assume they're talking about virtual console stuff?
Could be stuff like dedicated servers for some games, integrated voice chat and/or skins/themes

That's not a bad idea, but they won't get away with it* unless the enthusiast online service is up to scratch.
*they absolutely will

You want all the things from other providers while paying 3x less, got it.
See above.
You're comparing "feature complete" to something that costs 3x more though.
I understand the frustration of the lack of features as I want them too, but I also am fully aware that I'm paying 3x less so I shouldn't expect the same amount of features. As for lag, play games online on my switch very regularly and rarely ever have even the slightest lag. And no, I don't have super fast internet (100mbs).
I mean nintendo has to give something more lol. I can't honestly see this being something they just do for the sake of doing. has to be gamecube or wii vc
