Until there are more details, I don't care about this at all. I'd rather they improve their current service.
To be feature parity with the other two they would need to give away two Switch games per month.
Well the regular one made money for them with what seems really low effort from what you read.
Now they want to find out how much further they can go and how much they can charge.
Everyone would do that.

It's a rumor but I wouldn't be surprised, this company knows really well how to squeeze juice from their fans.
Hopefully this really just means that they want to improve NSO which is fine because that's all people really want right now
It has no features aside from you can play online and play some old NES games.
That boost is kind of proportionate with the number of consoles in customer's hands in 2017 vs. 2018 in Q3, no?
Like, how much can be attributed to the launch of the paid online service? Everything is lumped together with digital games & DLC.
Nintendo isn't boasting subscription numbers by itself. No one has a clue how many people subscribed or how long they've subscribed for? (1 month, 3 month, 12 month).
Maybe this time it will have the features missing from the current one.
Ho fuck who am I kidding, it will probably just be snes games for another 20 bucks.

I know that most will not see that new info. But at least I know some will.
$60 a year to have a messaging and invite system based on your friends list (still friend codes though)
honestly think Nintendo underestimate that NSO could reach that volume, but they can't go back and ask for a higher price thus this "premium" shit. Also NSO family plan is easily exploitable so they definitely left alot money on the table, I bet they regret the family plan and the NSO low pricing.
Might as well should lock the thread and make a new one considering this one is already spreading misinformation
Okay, if it's just adding stuff to the existing plan that's perfectly fine. Really hope this is just a NE mistranslation.
It's like the other service, except it has it has a GBA emulator where Mother 3 is the only available game.
When people compare NSO to PS+ and XBLG they aren't talking about the free* games, discounts etc. just basic stuff like a proper voice chat solution, friend/party management and messages on the device and not through a clunky smartphone app. Like really basic shit that was free on the Vita for example.
Maybe they should prove they could make an online service that isn't half-baked shit before they ask for even MORE.
Its sad that this is about what my expectations would be for this.
I can also say from my reading of the article that it doesn't sound like a new service. They seem to indicate Nintendo will bolster the existing one.
Serious question, but people keep asking for dedicated servers but is there dedicated servers on other platforms? Aren't servers provided by the game developpers?
Never saw anyone blaming Sony or Namco when SF5 and DBFZ online were a mess at launch, what is the difference now?

No
Likely more "free games"
Oh boy...
I can see it now
$20 a year for nes games
$30 a year for nes and snes
$40 a year for nes, snes, and n64
$50 a year for nes, snes , n64 and gcn
OR something similar to it lol
i think everyone wants a cheaper online only tier versus the more expensive tier with games and cloud storage, etc. (on all platforms not just specifically talking bout N)
Starting to think NintendoEverything are not very good with accurate translation if this is another mistranslation of theirs. Because I swear it's been kinda common with them, especially with Sakurai's column translations.
