I think Tetris99 finally makes Nintendo Online worth it for me

You mean you wish that Bamco could fix their netcode in Smash instead of Arika making a simple but awesome Tetris battle royale game?
I hope that's the case. I'm all for more pure gameplay experiences.
I haven't been one to complain about Switch Online because of its low cost, but I'm all for added value. The NES games are fun, but this is a fantastic game. Now I just need to get a few first place finishes to make me feel better, but I've done plenty of top 10 (2nd being my best) so I'm happy with myself so far.
Do you think, for example, that EA is using Sony and Microsoft servers for their games? When Anthem servers were ablaze during the demo, do you think Bioware was frantically working on Sony/Microsoft servers?
Yeah I would've paid $20 for this game. If they keep making free multiplayer games like this, I'm down to keep subscribing.
No, I don't think that. My understanding is that every publisher must use their own servers. This is definitely true of smaller developers. If larger developers have specific deals that is their own arrangement. And I suspect something they pay for anyway.
I used to be okay with paying for services like NSO, etc. But then I found out none of this money goes to the online infrastructure of 3rd party games, but it still locks out 3rd party games. That I'm not cool with.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.
It's crazy, I don't play online games ever I'm anti social and yet I bought Online for this, cos when I tried it just felt like playing a regular game, but I know tetris, even though I'm no good at it, I played that game since the Gameboy days
Whats even more Bizzare I lost my job the other day, so trying to make sure everything I buy now I'm careful with you know bills etc but as a treat to myself I bought this Online Subscription for 12 months, it cost me less than £20 and is something that will last me a whole year, so even if it takes me a while to get a new job at least I have something and even if I cannot afford another Switch game in the next 12 months there are always the NES ones, now Tetris and hopefully Snes too by end of year, to tide me over.
I had considered it for all the retro games, but Tetris pushed my desicion lol

That's me. Although, it would be more worth it if the Cloud saved my Splatoon 2 file.
I don't think Tetris 99 alone makes it worth it, but NSO had some though not enough value before and now that Tetris 99 exists, it just became worth it.
They need way more. They also need to admit there mistakes and fix their chat. There is so much more that can be done but I fear "Nintendo" will be "Nintendo".... for what it is worth Tetris 99 shows they at least are trying.
Someone needs to make sure Puyo Puyo eSports gets out of Japan. hint hint nintendo
I mean I know since Switch is region free nothing's really stopping me from playing it. But, like, c'mon. Someone should give it a brisk localization effort.

I am actually going to get nintendo online (just a one month sub) to try out the tetris game. Looks awesome (as should be expected from Arika)
I don't think Gamecube games will ever be included in the subscription service. Not when Nintendo could easily sell them for $30 a title on the store.
Rereading your comment, if you are basically saying "paying money to pay online on any platform is a rip-off/scam as it's just about making money and not about improving online services" then I would agree.
I came here to post this, I gave the 7-day trial ago yesterday and played about 3 hours tetris solid, IMO totally worth £3.50/month or £20 a year.
I'm even enjoying some of the NES titles, which I thought would be a struggle. Despite it being a small offering it's by no means a rip-off.
I would easily pay more if they got some SNES or N64 titles on there though, can't see it, which is a shame.

I've played the NES games for 135 hours now, so yeah, 5-6 USD is definitely worth it just for that. Also had a good time with Tetris 99, though it got repetitive pretty fast.
I still have a free spot on my family plan, if you're up for paying 5 bucks to get in on the remaining six months? :D PM me.
Actually got into a plan from someone else on here but thanks for the offer :P
