It's like $20 a year for online play, free virtual console and other stuff. You're literally too poor for games if you even spend 10 seconds debating this decision
>lose 20$ >access to games old man id rather watch a yt video about instead of having to play it >p2p smash
smash is a party game. imagine playing it alone online
>rather watch a yt video about instead of having to play it
Why companies care about backwards compatibility again if all those homosexuals don't even care about those games?
I'd willing pay for the service if A... >online play wasn't tied to it
and B... >acted supplementary to Virtual Console where all the games on the service could be downloaded from the eshop
I paid for it for 2 months when smash came out then never bought another online multiplayer game again because I cant be bothered to pay for online when I use it once every 4 months. then because I didn't use online anyway I hacked my switch then never bought another switch game again.
If they didn't try to frick me by charging to use my own internet they would have earnt more money from me.
>I can jump from Ninja Gaiden to Donkey Kong Country to Ristar to Majora's Mask anytime I want
You could do that on the Wii in shorter time and for a one-time cost of $39. NSO is a clear downgrade from what the Wii/Wii U/3DS had.
>it's easier to download 6 different Switch apps and keep them updated (admittedly they update 1-2 times per year) than to just download retroarch and a fullset
Besides, you can't be that lazy, given you're a fulltime homosexual on Ganker.

Oh, I'm lazy alright. This is my only contact with the outside world.
And I'm only on here because you don't have to register.
They don't have many third party games.
Mario is fun and all but it's the games like lufia 2 that i want to play.
I also prefer owning things over renting things.
Worthless service. I'd rather shove my hand into a blender and press "puree" than deal with this paid online service. I'd rather sit through a marathon of every bad game cutscene ever made, back-to-back, with my eyelids taped open, Clockwork Orange style. I'd rather eat a sandwich made from the festering remains found in the bottom of a dumpster behind a seafood restaurant during a heatwave. I'd rather have a swarm of hornets use my mouth as a nesting ground. I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard, amplified through a stadium sound system, as my morning alarm. I'd rather dive headfirst into a pool filled with lemon juice and paper cuts. I'd rather play a never-ending loop of the most broken, unplayable level of any game, blindfolded, with a controller that's been dunked in maple syrup. I'd rather have a conversation with a brick wall about the intricacies of paint drying. I'd rather be the test subject for a new line of underwear made from sandpaper. I'd rather count every grain of sand on a beach than try to get a decent connection on this service. I'd rather volunteer as a human punching bag at a boxing training camp for heavyweight champions. I'd rather attempt to teach a goldfish the concept of quantum mechanics. I'd rather spend my weekends watching paint dry on a wall that's been smeared with the most eye-gouging color imaginable. I'd rather decode the entire internet's worth of CAPTCHA images in one sitting. I'd rather be trapped in an elevator with an endless loop of the most annoying song in the world playing at max volume. I'd rather engage in a staring contest with the sun. I'd rather perform dental surgery on myself using only rusty, medieval tools.
I don't like it as a replacement for Virtual Console but I don't actually mind it as a form of subscription service. I wish Nintendo sold the repop controllers without tying it to NSO because they're actually really fricking cool, I love having a legit NES controller or a legit SNES controller or a legit N64 controller around without having to frick around with modding an original one, and in the N64's case without having to have a Gamecube stick installed if I want a replacement.
Never getting a subscriptions regardless. If the yearly fee is such a nothingburger, then why don't they have an option to purchase games for $5 each? They'd easily make a lot more. Do they hate money?
Got it for free thanks to being on a friend's family plan. The emulation for everything except N64 is perfectly acceptable, but my god is the selection on GB & GBA pathetic. Practically nothing on them after a year of being on the market. Weren't they supposed to be updated monthly?
If you subscribe just for the roms you're moronic. If you subscribe because you play Splatoon, Mario Kart, Smash, etc then the roms are a nice bonus and the library is much better than buying each game individually
I actually use it for its intended purpose, which is playing it with normies and my family. With a procontrolelr and the default joycons I got two controllers at least already
Yes, but I have my heart set on the first one
I don't know what it is about the PC version of Rogue Squadron but I cannot get it to work properly with controller or flight stick
tax for people who dont know how to set up an emulator which I find based

>can even afford your own bag of shit? what are you, poor?
>$20 a year
>free virtual console
You don't get to pick and choose what is free if you're paying for it hombre
Nope I'm paying for online, which I'd well priced compared to other consoles. Anything else is extra.
>I'm paying for online
Wut
If you have to pay to access something it isn't free
It's missing tons of games compared to VC or emulation, I'd rather buy a modded Vita for emulation

pretty good, wish the N64 emulation was better for Sin & Punishment and F-Zero X.

Thanks for locking all my previously bought VC games behind a sub.
I paid for it for 2 months when smash came out then never bought another online multiplayer game again because I cant be bothered to pay for online when I use it once every 4 months. then because I didn't use online anyway I hacked my switch then never bought another switch game again.

It's shit. I have to pay $20 per year just so my kid can play online and the only benefit is some virtual console my kid doesn't give a shit about.
Base one is a good deal for what it is. The expansion pack seems like a waste of money
I fricking love it. Just for how big the library is.
Leave it to the worthless-ass tripgay to go to bat for NSO
What can I say, its fun. I can jump from Ninja Gaiden to Donkey Kong Country to Ristar to Majora's Mask anytime I want, and its all portable.
Needs way more Game Boy games though.
>I can jump from Ninja Gaiden to Donkey Kong Country to Ristar to Majora's Mask anytime I want

Sorry, $29
Should we tell him about emulating on PC bros?
You could. I wouldn't care, but you could.
>I wouldn't care
Yeah, because your stated reasoning is nonsense
Actually, my reasoning is that its easier.
Words can't express the level of laziness I'm at.

emulation bros are the only ones that seem to think nobody knows about emulation for some reason
They don't have many third party games.

I hate that they tied virtual console to it.

The NSO is hanging fruit to make the online more tempting.
I haven't bothered to pay for it, but I mainly play single player games on my Switch.
Not as good as just using Retroarch. Save the $20/year and buy a nice controller that'll last you for several years.

>Weren't they supposed to be updated monthly?
Yes, but said update can and will be just one system, and they pick whatever they want.
If you subscribe just for the roms you're moronic. If you subscribe because you play Splatoon, Mario Kart, Smash, etc then the roms are a nice bonus and the library is much better than buying each game individually
Ninty's online is ass but atleast I don't have to pay $60 a year for its base package. I don't pay for it at all lmao
I actually use it for its intended purpose, which is playing it with normies and my family. With a procontrolelr and the default joycons I got two controllers at least already
Abhorrent service on the principle of gating peer-to-peer online multiplayer on consoles after Microsoft and Sony "leading by example"
bread crumbing roms from the past is shit. I do enjoy F zero 99 quite a lot since the recent QoL update breaking the level and skill rating limits
Nintendo Switch Online fricking sucks that's my opinion
It needs Rogue Squadron, Episode 1 Racer, and Smash Bros
Well, you'll get the last one.
Yes, but I have my heart set on the first one
I don't know what it is about the PC version of Rogue Squadron but I cannot get it to work properly with controller or flight stick
The Expansion Pass is not worth over twice the price of the regular subscription at all.
