I was going to buy the animal crossing expansion anyways, this is an additional $5. I did expect ~$3 a month for the expansion pak, and it's just below that, so this was in my expectations.

I was expecting it to cost 10 bucks more...

More than double the price is too much. I was going to buy the animal crossing dlc anyway so I guess $5 extra isn't too bad from that perspective
but they need to add other dlc, bring in the Gameboy consoles & bring back vouchers in the west or something if they want to justify that price

Yeah, I'm definitely not buying in early on that, lol. I paid £22.49 for my family membership via cdkeys, definitely not paying 37.5 more!

I think the individual pricing doesn't seem too bad tbh but the family plan is painful for me since I'm only splitting it with a couple other people. Even worse is I don't even know if they'll want to upgrade but I definitely do.

2022? Hell maybe they'll need to show more DLC or stuff this year alone to make people fell like it's worth it. I love animal crossing and am really excited for the DLC, but not many people will bite this price with just N64 and Mega Drive.

Not to sound like a dummy, but I can choose to keep my $19.99 version of NSO right? Or do we have to upgrade/change?

Look at this optimism. They're definitely gonna make you pay that if you want N64 stuff, just like they made you pay for NES And SNES even if you just wanted online play.

They can fuck off with that PlayStation Plus Bullshit with the Animal Crossing DLC.
I don't have Animcal Crossing, nor do I want it. And even if I would own and play it, I'm not continue to pay for it over a period of time, if all I wanna do is play the DLC once and then play something totally different.
Also what are they gonna do next year? Add another DLC? Still restrict my DLC access or what?
Nah, fuck that

So..... not a defense, just an observation reading here... since $20/yr is fine for some people (myself included) but $50 is too much... can the Fami-gods create a network on here where 4-8 strangers (whom otherwise cannot find other people to join) can get together on a family plan? I feel like that would be a wonderful purpose for this forum. Please and thank you.

Maybe the worst part of this is that it seems you can't subscribe to the expansion pack for less than twelve months. When I saw the annual price my first thought was that I'd wait for the N64 library to grow a bit then pay twenty bucks for three months or something like that, but no, it's a year at $50 or nothing (so far as I can tell.)

You can keep the base version. You don’t have to upgrade
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yea that is my case too. I only share the subscription with one other person and the price increase is just obscene compared to the individual price increase. I'm not gonna spend time to recruit and coordinate with strangers to make sure I get the most bang for my buck on the family plan either.
This also makes me more critical that the GBA still seems like its far off from being added. There are load of games there that I would want to try there. Just give me access to that.

I can't. This has to be some kind of troll they put out that they're going to fix later.
For those that only want ACNH, it's $20 for online + $24.99 (to buy) for the DLC. OR!, $5 more to rent it ($49.99 year)!
$5 MORE TO RENT IT!

It's weird. Thinking about it logically, considering how Nintendo has priced N64 games before, how the Genesis lineup has quite a few important games already, and that it includes the ACNH DLC, $50 a year does make sense. But I dunno, for some reason that still feels like a lot considering how similarly-priced services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold have monthly additions that include new games from the current generation. I mean hell, it's only $10 away from the basic Xbox Game Pass subscription that includes like 200 current generation games.

Pricier than I was hoping, at least for standalone plans. I'm on a family plan so the annual price still wouldn't be that bad, but not sure if we're gonna upgrade.
Hopefully they add more over time. Would be nice to see DLC for other games like Age of Calamity or something. Would definitely make it more tempting.

I don't think this is meant for anyone who only wants the Animal Crossing DLC. The expansion is about the two new consoles, the AC DLC is a bonus.

i mean, if you look at it, its two more systems, so, double the price but you can play old genesis/mega drive roms everywhere already. In that sense i cant help but feel that gba roms would add more value instead of genesis stuff, and also the fee starts to get dangerously close to ps+ and its basically the same as xbox live gold for less features.

Game Pass is $120 per year, not $60.

Are we sure you’re renting the dlc? I figured they would just let you own it and the subscription comes as a $5 bonus. I don’t see why not since you gotta pay up front for the full year.

You can get a year of Gold and then upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for like $1. But yeah it's not the official pricing I guess.

Gamepass plus online is 180 dollars a year. This is 50.

Trick or Treat!
As someone who's not going to touch the Sega stuff or Animal Crossing DLC, it's really disappointing that there's no tier system for this. I wouldn't mind paying $10-15 more for just the N64 games.

Yeah it says so in the fine print in the video. You only have it for the duration of your subscription.

oh yeah, that's true. Didn't realize they were still doing that promotion. That's a great deal.
- Pronouns

It's quite interesting how different Nintendo incentivizes online play compared to Sony and MS. The latter two sweeten the deal by adding third party games for individuals while Nintendo focuses more on first party offerings and a family pack which can be very favorable if the whole "family" group play lots of multiplayer Nintendo titles together.

The question is, are they going to keep adding on top of it with every 2 systems? That's going to be way too much money.
Oh shit, is the AC stuff for rent? That makes the package less attractive.

I quit PS+ a few years ago and have not looked back. I quit because it was too expensive and only signed up for cloud saves after my fat PS3 died and lost every save.

Yeah big pass for me then. I share my island with my partner and they don’t have NSO. I want to make sure the dlc is always playable for them regardless of subscription status.

Yeah, normally I think a lot of the things regarding Nintendo is very much absurd hyperbole. I even think the 20 I am paying a year is more than fair for NSO (which I like and use a lot), cloud saves, and the 99 games.
But this is..... give me an option without the DLC at a lower price! I will literally buy the DLC straight out because I had planned to buy the DLC and want to keep it.
Every so often Nintendo will walk back on something - remember the original plan was to have 1 or 2 rotating classic games a month? Then they backtracked.
I really hope so.

In that case they could just offer 1 console per expansion pack, personally not interested in the Sega stuff because Sega is already working on that 16:9 classic Sonic collection.
