Hopefully a direct in August focusing on just nintendo switch online to give us every detail and a walk through
It isn't and yeah, I have no idea why anyone wouldn't go for 12 months.
Still can't believe that some people complained about the price.
Would be worth it alone for access to the Classic Collection if they keep adding games to it + that Second player functionality.
Also 3months are what the system will likely be bundled with.

To try it out before committing if you don't know now anything about service.

Still find it baffling Nintendo isn't trying to tie this launch to major online title's launch - considering how little we've heard I thought it'd be moved back
Maybe because they're charging people for the ability to backup their saves. If I have no interest in the classic collection (which I don't) I still have to pay 20 dollars a year to ensure I don't lose all my saves. That's just Nintendo being Nintendo. Hopefully they provide other reasons to justify the price.
Yep. Even though I'm pretty sure we can't use gold coins on it or receive gold coins for buying it.
You will need it for Mario Kart, Splatoon and co. already. Same for Smash Bros. ...they don't need to launch an extra title with the service for people to sign up.
Thought I expect some announcements next months for the subscription launch.
It's good if you want to use your existing Amazon credit or get the 5% back on their Amazon Visa (if it applies to things like this).
The family group price is nice! I wonder what the catch is going to be. Say, me, and seven others from here, go in on the family group. What features will be limited to the seven others if the service is paid by my account? I mean, we'll bring it down to $0.36 per month for each member. There has to be a catch.
We genuinely do not know. We don't even have the details on the other 10 NES titles that they're launching the service with yet.
I don't play Switch online much but always want the option. $19.99 annually is so inconsequential I'll probably always have it. That's likely what Nintendo is counting on.
The lead up to this service has been terrible so far. The lack of communication options, friendcodes, terrible netcode and/or connections even with games that focus heavily on MP (Splatoon 2, Tennis)... I really, really hope they do a 180 on all of this and step their online game up. And do this with a convincing presentation.
I love my Switch and their 1st Party Games and I want them to succeed. But right now it is really hard to believe that a big portion of the Mainstream is willing to pay for Nintendo's online service. It's a huge barrier for more casual people who just want to play a few rounds of Mario Kart or Pokemon Let's Go, completely regardless if it costs $50, $20 or just $10 a year. It's a hurdle for less dedicated players.
I'm really curious to see how it works out for them. I'll certainly be there for Smash and guve them a chance to sway me.

I had not thought about it, I suppose it makes sense in that.
It's not unbelievable that any price is too much for cloud saves and having manual saves taken away.
Not really I could see it being 10 to 15 mins esp if they announce a game to go along with it that they haven't announced yet
They could show you how to use cloud saves
They could show how multiplayer in classic games work
They could announce more classic games
Etc
What details are people expecting? This will be like Switch online currently, but you pay for it. They can probably cover the details in a few minutes.
It just begins
Switch Online is $20
Next year it will be $25
Year after it will be $30
Then year after It will be $35
Then finally it will reach $50
