Bjomesphat Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Well, I got my N64 controller at least. Not doing the upgraded membership anytime soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I don’t play Animal Crossing and there are zero games I want to play online on the Switch, this is an easy pass. I wouldn’t mind playing some N64 games but not at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hey now, the Animal Crossing DLC being included makes this a little more worth it. I was all ready to drop $25 for that alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only play it within the year, I say good value. I have no interest in the DLC as I'm not super into the design aspect of the game. It being included with the Online Expansion pack would make me play it. It being $50 / $80 is not a price I'd be interested in paying. So I'll probably never play that DLC (Actually I'm on a family plan so it depends on my "father" 🤫 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pickle Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I remember reading that u needed the 64 controller to play some games multiplayer. Is that not the case anymore? I want to play kart online as soon as I get this and will be super pissed if I cant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 wow, $30 more for two retro platforms they will drip out questionable games once in a blue moon. The AC stuff I could see being worth it if you’re a huge AC fan (I still need to pick up a copy). I personally wouldn’t have an issue with the $30 increase if not for how badly NSO has been as is (I stopped renewing my subscription). I might still bite for a year but I don’t have high hopes for this being better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pickle Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I’m kinda shocked at this board losing their minds about $30 when half of you buy an extra console because it’s a new colour and pay $90 for a 12 year old game. I’ll get this for a year, play Zelda and get my old college roommates together for kart sessions then cancel when I’ve played what I want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yeah, this gets a FUCK THAT from me. Maybe.. Maaaaaaaaaybe once they bolster their N64 lineup, but let's be fair here. There were a handful of gems on the N64 and a whooooooole lot of garbage. Charging extra for it is kinda laughable, especially when their NES/SNES offerings have been a trickle. And I already have the Genesis games on the Switch. I bought a cartridge with most of those games for it a few years ago for like, 12 bucks.

Mr.Vic20 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Apparently its due to Sega Licensing fees. Which to me, makes very little sense. IF that were true, why bundle Sega into the mix at all then, just release N64 this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fair point to make, more just I think Nintendo’s past history with NSO does not breathe confidence that the service will be properly supported to justify the increase. I’ll most likely give it a shot for a year but I’m kind of expecting I’ll end up not renewing all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sorry, I'll get in line. *ahem* $50 a year, what a rip-off! Who would even pay that much for a bunch of games no one wants. It's a scheme to get us to fill their pocketbooks. Nintendo is so alone in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero interest in playing an inferior version of Zelda and then a few games of Mario tennis lol. Part of it is just like… dudes you have an incredible lineup of games, could easily have sold me with some games that are hard to get ahold of (metroid fusion comes to mind), others, and they just give out scraps. Their $20 service is pretty sad itself, I only have it because I’m too lazy to cancel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a fun novelty but the netcode for those games is up in the air and a lot of them have better versions you'd rather play online. (Like who would play Mario Kart 64 (not even as good as the SNES game) over Mario Kart 8?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
