The same reason people laugh at that game store offering a $700 PS5 after trading in your PS4 or get pissed off at scalpers. It's an insulting offer, but if you want what's in it, they're the only game in town.
Amen. I hate subscription services that give me a "great deal" on games I don't even want to play.
The Splatoon online tax for me then. $1.60 a month. I have like 400 hours in Splatoon 2.
Yeah but dude, this is the future! Sub services and "renting" games! Let's just keep renting what we should have a right to own ourselves and play offline whenever and wherever we like. But yes, the future is sub services...
It's crazy to think that the Xbox 360 in 2005 had a better online service, with private voice chat, messages, and game invites, in comparison to what the Switch currently offers in 2021. Sure it's cheaper, but I still think it's overpriced for what you're getting. I'd much rather have a Wii/Wii U like Virtual Console and pay for games individually than be drip fed a bunch of games j don't care about once in a blue moon.
Because paying $50 a year is not good value for a glorified emulator. Obviously your mileage may vary but to me it's a galling price hike, especially due to the fact there's no inbetween for those who may not care for Animal Crossing DLC.
Not only that but MiiVerse was actually fantastic and in many ways far more advanced than Xbox.
I unfortunately ignored it, but after checking it out after the fact I wish I hadn't.
You don’t get the N64 controller, you have to buy it separately.
…Do people not read anymore? The service is still 20 dollars. This is just an optional tier.
I'm indifferent about base tier NSO; $20 for access to old games I'll play every so often and online gameplay? That's fine.
But please gtfo with the expansion. I'm sincerely interested to see if people are really going to fork over $50 a year for a service where the main draw is old games and ZERO online features your competitors have for a comparable price.
I have no idea who this service is for. I mean really? We can all go on and on about how we want all these old games but at the end of the day, do people really play these games with any regularity? Keeping that in mind, with a enough regularity to justify paying a yearly (and now, exorbitant) access fee to play them? I can maaaaaybe see this getting new subscribers the first year but dropping off afterward. There's no solid audience for this, right? People who are hardcore about their old games are going have them on their PCs, younger players will have no connection to these games and won't care, any hobbyist will collect the old games or would have wanted to outright buy them VC-style. This feels an earnest attempt at seeing what they can get away with and I sincerely hope it doesn't work out for them.
you can get oot3d for 20$ on 3ds
And there is no one behind you holding a gun in not allowed criticisms ................................................................................................................................................................... okay? I can say whatever I feel like now go off someone --- into my ignored list you go
Seems like you didn't read what I said.
I agree that this is complete bullshit, but this is the first time they have done something like this. Let's not go spouting "classic Nintendo", this is and has been 2017 onward for their company. Why do people forget so easily.
I honestly can't fathom the fact that they're selling a single Sega Genesis wireless controller for $50. And people are actually going to buy it at that price.
I can say what I want, it's not my fault you got mad that I'm selling my Switch because Nintendo sucks and their practices are pathetic and they should get criticized for it. To my ignore list you go, my list is growing by the minute
lol
