Despite the complaints about the drip-feed of NES titles, when you consider the otherwise dirt-cheap cost of Switch online, I don't know if it's reasonable to expect that they'll be just handing out their SNES library and possibly N64 or whatever comes next, all for the same $20/yr.
Seeing as the NES app on the Switch is standalone, it's not a jump to conclude that the SNES app and others will also be standalone.
I wouldn't be surprised if NES online was just a free taste, and SNES online winds up costing another subscription, maybe just $5-10/yr, but still in addition to what we're already paying. Maybe they'll even split these apps off entirely and make barebones online cheaper, like $10, and then another five or ten bucks for each "Classic" app, with discounts if you bundle them.
On the one hand, I can see immediate outrage that Nintendo would dare charge for something, but I don't think I'd mind a setup like this, especially if they compensated by upping the number of releases each month.
What are your thoughts or predictions?
