It also includes the Animal Crossing expansion, which leads me to believe Nintendo may bundle other DLC in this going forward.

 

[Apopheniac]

Jesus Christ, that's expensive.

Yeah, I think I'm good.

 

[Dark Cloud]

This was just out of nowhere lol.

 

[Skittzo]

Yeah this is way too expensive IMO. Unless Goldeneye makes it on I'll pass for now.

 

[Magic-Man]

Uhh, that's a shitty price. Way too high. At least it looks like various DLC will be possibly be included, but still that's freaking ridiculous.

 

[Reinhard Schneider]

Just tell me there are tiers to this. I don't need the Animal Crossing expansion, i just want the N64 and Mega Drive retro apps

 

[Slash]

This was just out of nowhere lol. So the family price goes up by $30…

Lol I thought it was gonna be $30 or something close to that. $30 more for some N64 and Genesis games and Animal Crossing DLC I'm not interested in...

 

[Weebos]

Pretty drastic price increase.

 

[Kano]

It's 40€/70€ in Europe.

 

[Waluijob]

 

[Mandos]

We better have monthly updates

 

[samouraï]

That is way too costly

 

[Slash]

Double post https://famiboards.com/threads/nint...individual-79-99-for-a-family-membership.413/

 

[KC Hazel]

Wow that's way more than expected. DLC I don't want coming with it doesn't really sweeten the deal. And I wonder if you own the DLC or not.

 

[Lichtsang]

It's 40€/70€ in Europe.

40€ in total for everything? That isn't too bad.

 

[VelvetMonkey]

That's a lot of money, it's definitely not worth it for me as of now.

 

[Twinsen]

Jesus Christ, that's expensive.

Yeah, I think I'm good.

It is. 30 extra for n64 and genesis. Paying more than double for that. Not missing much tho tbh because genesis I got through a lot of other packs, and n64 doesn't offer much I haven't played.

 

[Barthomolew]

This is just obscene. Interest waned a lot.

 

[Skittzo]

At least it's just an optional tier. I'd be pissed if the normal sub increased that much.

 

[WestEgg]

Yeah, that's way too much. But I'll still be getting it.

 

[Ryosuke]

Holy shit.

 

[Yzz]

I imagine you keep the Animal Crossing DLC right?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Well Nintendo said they have to talk more about the expansion so you’d definitely expect them to add more if they’re raising the price by $30 lol

 

[jazzyartist]

Uh...lol can I take out the Animal Crossing expansion please? Like, it looks cool but....50 bones??

 

[Helix]

quite possibly the weirdest place to announce it lol

 

[UncleAlbert]

Any idea how much is this in €? Can't see anything on the Spanish website.

 

[mazi]

whoa, did not expect it to be that expensive. not gonna resub, not worth it.

 

[Johnzyboi]

I’m gonna hold off now. I’m going to need to see a lot more stuff offered before I’m willing to make any sort of jump.

 

[bixente]

Get fucked Nintendo lol

 

[Heron]

$20 for NES and SNES games was fine for me - so little money that I barely noticed, and every so often I'd boot them up for nostalgia and it would be worth it.

$50 a year for N64 and Genesis games? At that point you're into PS+ price territory, which offers you huge discounts, free games that are actually modern, and a far superior online gaming ecosystem.

Hard no.

Interesting that they might start bundling DLC into it, though. Not interested in the Animal Crossing DLC, but if you were to get 3 pieces of DLC per year that would otherwise cost $10-15 or so, then that could well be worth it as someone who plays almost all of Nintendo's first party games.

EDIT: Also, if you get the DLC through NSO, do you own it forever? Does the game kick you out of it if your sub lapses?

 

[SlightlyMadGames]

It's great that the Happy Home Paradise - DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is included in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Membership!

 

[Jaded Alyx]

That's about $20 more than I anticipated. I already wasn't interested so that's a pass without question.

 

[Slash]

whoa, did not expect it to be that expensive. not gonna resub, not worth it.

All I wanted was Banjo and Majora on Switch. Not for $30 extra...

 

[Waluijob]

I imagine you keep the Animal Crossing DLC right?

The fine print says "Active NSO + Expansion Pack membership required to access DLC at no additional cost." I doubt they will let us keep it after one year.

 

[Lady Bow]

$30+ price increase for Nintendo 64 games? Yea this ain't it chief.

 

[Reinhard Schneider]

Well Nintendo said they have to talk more about the expansion so you’d definitely expect them to add more if they’re raising the price by $30 lol

I'm hoping they clarify that it's not only a second tier for everything.

I'm really really not interested in the DLC, and if i were i would pay it upfront. 35 € more for N64 and Mega Drive is SO not worth it for me...

 

[Dark Cloud]

I said in the other topic Nintendo has to talk more about the expansion so maybe they’ll announce more dlc part of it and more N64 games, though not everyone will be interested in games dlc. Like I don’t care about AC so that does nothing for me.

This is way more expensive than I thought it would be.

 

[crepuscule]

Yeah, no. Add animal crossing, pokemon, splatoon to cloud saves and add full first party libraries up to gba/gamecube generation and I'll pay that.

 

[Elven_Star]

There must be other (cheaper) tiers excluding the AC expansion.
Also, they didn't clarify how much the upgrade will cost for current subscribers.

 

[MinionZero]

That is a sizable increase. More than double the original cost, right?

However, if Expansion DLC comes free with it, I'm slightly more intrigued. But still wow.

 

[Dark Cloud]

$30+ price increase for Nintendo 64 games? Yea this ain't it chief.

And Genesis and Animal Crossing DLC and probably will add more stuff

 

[Josh5890]

The $80 family is somewhat dooable. Our group of 6 makes it ~$13 a year.

Still a lot more than I though. Hopefully there is more stuff cooking with this expansion.

 

[meatbag]

I hope we can opt out of the Animal Crossing DLC and get the expansion pack for cheaper. 50 bucks is a bit too steep.

 

[Dragoncaine]

$30 increase for N64 and Genesis is ludicrous. I will not be upgrading tiers unless they really pull through with some impressive announcements.

 

[Lichtsang]

Available October 26th.

 

[Glom]

Ngl, that busts my upper expectation with a tank.

Otoh, the fact that it was revealed while announcing that Expansion Pack includes something else not previously mentioned possibly suggests that there is more to come, maybe. That's maybe why they didn't announce the price at the time.

But, right now, it is WAY expensive.

 

[JR436]

Nah I'm good.

 

[TheDok]

Yeah for that price I'll just stick with my Everdrives and pass on this.

 

[dman2000]

Absolutely ridiculous pricing. If the online service was actually good, this wouldn't even be that much of a problem.
