They really should just copy/paste Xbox Live's features if they gonna make up pay.
I think the price is fair enough for this to do well. I Just hope they really went back to the drawing board with the feature set of the phone app. If they can integrate party chat, text messages, notifications, communities, etc into it, most people of the people who actually enjoy playing the switch online will appreciate the connectivity. Also, Nintendo should create a web version of the Nintendo online app as well. I think Nintendo should take Discord up on their offer to help them out and let them completely revamp their phone app.
I love how most news sites' (and investors') reactions are basically the polar opposite of the majority of people in this thread. Most people are treating the pricing and NES games as a pretty solid value.
I tend to agree too, I really don't care too much about online gaming but I like the idea of getting a bunch of NES (and maybe SNES+ eventually) games for less than $2 a month.
I love how you align yourself with investors rather than other people who may game on Nintendo in this thread.
Wouldn't trust investors or news sites to be making positive changes to gamers.

Those are obviously the best points of comparison as to whether Nintendo's offering is something on-par with what's already available in the market.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of those features have nothing to do with those platform's paid service, rendering them moot to the discussion. Also, I wouldn't call the PS4 browser "competent" by any stretch of the imagination, but I suppose your mileage may vary.You get a lot more features in free mode and paid on ps4 and tons of free games around 6 to 8 monthly across ps4 ps3 and ps vita let alone already established party chat and lots of video and music service and a competent browser
If it means getting those features, then so be it. Nintendo needs to catch up on these standards.
Christ, keep letting them shovel total shit into your mouth then. Lap up the slop graciously whilst you're at it.
absolute fucking pathetic. HORSE SHITTTT
FUCK YOU NINTENDO. I can play NES games anytime online on a browser let alone emulators.
you can't even message your friendsThey really should just copy/paste Xbox Live's features if they gonna make up pay.
No voice chat on the console is still insane.
I'd rather pay more for something than something for nothingAnd then there will be people bitching that it costs too much. There was backlash with PS+ too.

That's because it was from the other thread I guess, kinda got them mixed together, but they both deal with saves.
So clearly there's a way to retrieve saves on a new system, even if they're encrypted.
- Save Data Cloud Backup: By using Nintendo Switch Online, a backup of Nintendo Switch save data for most Nintendo Switch games will be stored online for easy access. This is great for people who want to retrieve their data if they lose, break or purchase an additional Nintendo Switch system.
I'm curious about how good the "special offers" will be. I remember beforehand they called it eshop discounts... Even if the discounts are rather small the minor price of entry for the subscription will probably make it cheaper overall to subscribe, depending on how many games you get.
It's not when you're constantly seeing people defend a crap service because it's cheap. Seeing everybody defending absolute rubbish just because it's Nintendo is incredibly frustrating to read.
I never realized their didn't actually say all 20 games. I'd be more curious if there more than maybe 2 NES games I might want to play.Curious on what will be the other 10 games be?
I doubt it will be 3rd party games. :(
Also this is from their PR:

Seriously.

Same! I'm already ok with the value I'll get for $20/year, but the discounts could make that even better for me. Combine that with the rewards program and we'll be cooking with gas.
It's 1/3 of the price of there competitors, even if is lacking in some areas, this reaction feels a bit hypocriticleIt's not when you're constantly seeing people defend a crap service because it's cheap.

This. $1.67 or less a month is nothing.
The only thing I care about in this feature list is cloud saves, so I'd literally be paying to store my saves online since I don't care about mp or the NES games. Pretty bonkers, paying for a service that should be a free update or should've been available at launch.
This. I want Nintendo to actually get with modern times. People actively cheering anti-consumer and terrible policies is stupid. Nintendo seems to be the only company where people are actually happy with crap policies and shitty decisions. No other company would get away with this.It's not when you're constantly seeing people defend a crap service because it's cheap.
