I don't believe it's uncommon for maintenance to be shorter than expected, but good catch. I always forget to check for these.

I think folks said there's gonna be a switch firmware upgrade tonight too, to support the controllers.

I really am dense because I kept looking for what the monthly cost was going to be until I realized there was only an upfront $50 for 1 year option. Nostalgia bait is tempting, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to throw that money down right now, especially since I plan to just purchase the AC update to own. I'll probably cave and update eventually, but I think I'll attempt to hold out for now.
 
Firmware: Updated
Controller: "Picked"
Body: Ready

I'm overly excited for this update. I loved the N64 as a kid and haven't played most of these games since. I feel like I've played the NES & SNES classics a million times on a million consoles, but the N64 has always been harder to replay. I didn't buy any of the virtual console N64 titles so it'll be the first time I revisit most of these games. Can't wait.
 
here we goooo!

I could be patient and subscribe once animal crossing is out but... im not

Is it possible to sign up for multiple years, like can be done with the base NSO? I’d like to sub for two years now if possible.
 
Zfg (famous OOT speedrunner) is saying the emulator is trash, worse than Wii U VC. Immediate problems are bad input lag, bad controls, and weird emulation (OOT's fog is noticably fucked up).

He's streaming it now if anyone's curious http://twitch.tv/zfg1

Good news it works and plays great and the online is solid, other than horrifying music, played 4 player online MK64 with someone in Europe and it was playing fine

Bad news: no Controller pak support even in Winback
 
How the online multiplayer is working for everyone? Saw some clips on Twitter of people having a terrible experience, but I rather not trust these after the Sonic Colors debacle

Mmm in my case I have 2 months left I think. I have some coins but dunno if that's enough.

It says they measure it by days left and i'm not sure how they apply that to dollars so worth looking just to see what your discount is.

EDIT: it is 5 cents per day remaining taken off.

You should be able to, when I went to upgrade my sub it gave me the option of renewing my current plan for another year.

I can't figure out how to upgrade? Says I can't purchase with an active account still running. Do I need to cancel my current plan first or something?

No, there should be an option to upgrade and you'll get a discount on however many days you have left on your subscription. It only cost me like $50 today to upgrade the family plan.

All the purchase options are grayed out and say "This cannot be purchased because someone in your family has an active family membership" both on the eShop and from the browser store.
