I'm not defending them but it's not a bizarre concept
what really grinds my gears is the fact that our tv bill is like $60 but then another $20 for hbo and showtime... AND THEN you still have advertisements on top of that
not just a few either, 70% of airtime is commercials
the entire point in commercials was to make money for providing tv broadcasts that anyone could tune into since you couldn't monitor who's watching what and charge them for it
plus whether one person is watching or a million, it didn't affect the cost of tv broadcasts since they just blasted it from a tower
these days it's a paid access service which makes sense considering the technology development and maintainence that goes into digital cable... SO WHY ARE THERE STILL ADS?
it's fucking jewry at it's finest

>Nintendo confirmed that this monthly plan has indeed changed, telling Kotaku: “Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will have ongoing access to a library of classic games with added online play. Users can play as many of the games as they want, as often as they like, as long as they have an active subscription.”

>“Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to play a wide variety of classic games, including Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario. More games will be announced at a later date. At launch the classic game library will include NES games. Super NES games continue to be under consideration, but we have nothing further to announce at this time.”

Honestly the Virtual Console games are worth it for $20/year. & they changed it from the previous announcement, so the "free" games library is going to work like PSPlus / XBL

At least that offered the convenience of going through the console itself with the headset that came with it. You didn't have to put down your controller to check if the buzzing your phone is making means that someone's trying to message you

It's still jew tactics, no matter how you look at it. I'm more interested in the streaming library than being able to play on Nintendo's shit servers. Right now the selection looks like the free shit they gave us poor retards in the Ambassador program, but if they expand it to SNES or N64 games, I'd be worth the price.

Please tell me no one will do this.
You can literally store every single NES and SNES game on a 3DS already for free.
Also there are only like 10 NES games that are still playable by today's standards.

I never play online and I have no interest in some online service for VC games, so, not for me.

Glad that cord is finally cut though, eh? I can finally stop buying VC games and just work on an awesome smartphone setup.

Thing is, Nintendo online is complete garbage.
They also dont even offer voice chat servers, discount packages, or free full games.

Nintendo is the biggest jews when it comes to pricing, stop making it seem like $20 is a good deal for PAID ONLINE FOR A FUCKING HANDHELD
>>
>>378881793
you'd rather pay 0$ for with no monthly games, than $1.60 for monthly games?
>>
>>378884614
Totally, the same games that are available on almost every Nintendo console and you paid for for since the Wii, where they make you rebuy them over and over.

What a fucking steal. Can't wait to pay $7 for Megaman 2!

O$ becuase those games are 30 years old and i can play them free on my phone or pc.
>>
>>378881427
$20 for something that used to cost $0?
I mean, it's obviously not a windfall, but it's the principal of the thing. If the online is decent, I'll be fine with it, but the fact of the matter is that they're still only charging you because they know they can get away with it and there's nothing you can do.

But either way, there's no reason to get a Switch because all of the games are "okay" at best. I'll worry about paying for online when I see a reason to pay for the console in the first place.

Probably depends on the game, but their wording does indicate full multiplayer.

>>
>>378887126
You used to get VC games and discounts every month for free?
>>
>>378887128
see >>378887162
also, having the games on your system gives you a lot of motivation to play them. $1.60 really is negligible, either way you slice it
if youre complaining about spending that much on what once was a fully priced game, youre more jewish than nintendo
>>
>>378886971
Not him, but the voice chat service is shit (requires you to use your mobile phone instead of the fucking console), and their discounts (so far) have been pretty mediocre.

>What does this even mean
They let you get a new game (as opposed to a 25 year old game) for free, and keep it after the month ends, so that you keep it, instead of just renting it.

Bro literally clean yourself and apply for corporate sales. If you can convince people to trust you and hold a decent conversation you can very quickly get a lot of money with no real credentials. 6 years ago I was making $14/hour, since then I've taken 2 new positions at substantial base salary increases each time. Currently I also have extremely good benefits, receive massive bonuses (50% of yearly salary x 2 for hitting targets), and flexible/work from home hours with no college/university

Yeah, it's called an emulator. Literally anyone with a phone, let alone a computer, can emulate NES games. Nobody in their right mind ought to be impressed by the fact that Nintendo is letting you rent a random NES game once a month.
>discounts
Yes? The eshop has always had sales. Not good sales, but sales, nonetheless.

Either way, I'm not really arguing that the paid-online-services are BAD, it's just that they don't have any reason to charge you aside from "we want money". And that's fine, but the point still stands that there's nothing worth buying the console for as it is, let alone buying online for the console.
