Well, if the price goes up, I expect the service to be maintained and to get periodic upscaling updates for the games. I've bought so much content through Nintendo online, I want the service to be available on all platforms going forward.

Not to get political but I wonder if those tariffs the president is about to put on to other countries will affect the price of the NS2 and maybe this is the beginning of the price hikes ?
Shouldn't in any way affect the price of a digital good since nothing is being imported/exported, that would just be greed on Nintendo's part. Physical media and the switch 2 itself will be more expensive because of the tariffs undoubtedly (unless they're manufactured and made within America which I don't believe they are anywhere), but if digital media and prices go up that's just corporate greed and they're using it as an excuse. If the price is going up, either they're justifying it through inflation, or they're adding more consoles to it like GC and DS. Logically anyways, Nintendo does have their ego again so it could just be them flexing their success.
@ 1000% agree . My thought process was them upping the digital price to keep them from having to up the price of the switch successor but maybe that’s not how business works 😅

Could be happening for a variety of reasons. Greed could be one but I’m curious if there are some increases in infrastructure cost in some regions along with inflation. Anything going up in price in Argentina isn’t a shock since their inflation is at 166% (fortunately it’s showing signs of slowing)
Nintendo always been greedy. They never lower prices on games that came out 6+ years ago and are graphically outdated asf and they charged $70 for tears of the kingdom when it’s just botw 1.5 💀
I still can't believe that BOTW is a full priced game in their EShop. Nintendo is criminal as a company. They make great games but they are so sheisty. I don't buy anything other than Zelda and Metroid from them. Maybe Fire EMBLEM. The rest of their games are untouched by me.
@ I have I wasted $70 on it and still want my money back. We waited 6 years for this?? It’s the Same game that and it’s plays out in the same structure as botw. You can’t make ts up 😂 🤷♂️

If it gets to much I'll just cancel it, not like I really need it; since I have all the classics emulated and the 4 or 5 online games they offer are even that great anyways.
Wow. Glad I bought when I did. I just renewed a couple weeks ago for a full year. That’s the thing, Nintendo has just NEVER done Online right outside of Japan.
@ yeah, I don’t think that’s going to be the case. If you bought it before the price jump, then lucky you. You’re locked into that price for the duration of the service agreement.
This increase is more linked to currency exchange rates than other things. The mexican peso has lost value against a lot of other currencies and it's on the range of 20% of loss in value. The same amount of increase that the switch subscription price increased.
I wish Nintendo would offer these games up for sale. I'd buy the Mario, Donkey Kong, etc. games and not have to mess with Nintendo Online anymore. Really hate having to essentially buy a game every year for Nintendo Online just to play the same games over and over. Probably will cancel when I get the Switch 2 and then hack my original Switch. As my Switch is from the original run, which is supposed to be the easiest to hack.
After living in a couple of Latinamerican countries, inflation is quite high in there, so adjustments for 2025 makes sense. On the other side, as RGT mentions, it might be internal adjustment for a new price structure that is coming as well
Maybe it has to do with making up for the new tariffs in the US so instead of raising the price for the Switch 2, they raise the price for the service.
I knew it, I knew this would happen. Granted I thought they'd wait for the launch of Switch 2 (which they still might for most regions) but I knew it was coming. $20 a year for base NSO was too good to be true and it was never going to last...I'm surprised it even lasted this long. Paying to play online is such a bullshit tactic, but subscription services as a whole have gotten completely out of hand in every direction...I'm so beyond sick of it.
To be honest, I only paid for basic NSO for just 1 year and never bothered with it again. The only reason I'm buying another year is to cloud save my games and transfer them to the new system. Otherwise, I don't see a reason to pay NSO if you only care about single player games.
the way i see it, if i really believed i cant drop 20 - 50 bucks a year for anything i want then maybe i REALLY need to check my financial status cause something is DEFINETLY wrong
I don't mind paying a little more but i want to see some up grades to the service i want chat and more online game play with non friend list players like Splatoon.
I have never once used the Nintendo Switch Online games. I only pay to play games online. The minute the price goes up though, I will cancel my subscription. I don't play online that often, so I can wait until I decide I want to play Mario Kart for a month. Yeah it's great having a service to rent out all these retro games I guess, but that's not something I'm interested in one bit.
the inevitable when your are renting evrything. this is why i refuse to pay for any subscription. Also its criminal that they lock you behind a paywall in order to export the game saves. I personally move more to pc every new console generation
RGT being more like Nintendo Prime every day with clickbait titles. Then he’ll make a video condemning Nintendo Prime for doing it. Rinse and Repeat. Also it’s still funny MVG was flat and utterly WRONG about Switch 2 backwards compatibility
Bro forgot how "inflation" works You think gas prices and fast food prices magically went up in the span of a year? No they went up over time Give it a few more years and that extra $10 for switch online will increase to $20, $30 and so on. Glad you fell for the trap though, maybe grocery stores can convince you to pay $6 for an apple slowly over the next decade 😂
7:52 Yup, now that they heard you say that they are going to do it. You all need to stop saying it because we know they do great, but why keep asking for greater value when its not needed because they can't.
You know if Nintendo wants to raise the price, that's on them as a company. However as a consumer we need to decide if the product is worth it. Right now, it's not. If retro games were coming out more frequently and to a wider variety of the systems they have, maybe. If they offered something like new releases to download for people who have the service. Not like game pass where everything seems to show up there, but give us something. Not something like Oni the Best Oni crap, or something crappy thing like that, but something more AAA/ even BBB.
But I can't pay for my subscription until March. That's not fair. You see because I was on a family plan it won't let me switch over to the other plan until that plan has expired or something like that. That's ridiculous. I might not even switch over. I was only on it for Splatoon and I'm not playing Splatoon. Unfortunately our saves are tied to the online subscription as well though so there is that. How much more is it $10
@ "Nintendo Exclusives" are basically the same games they have been rehashing since the gamecube. I have 2 switches and a steamdeck and i still play all of my switch games on the steamdeck.
Meh, it's not like their service was that expensive to begin with. You'll still pay more for PlayStation or Xbox equivalents. As always, I'll still be annoyed that it'll be required for multiplayer.
I live in México and the prices as of 02/01 is: Nintendo Switch Online 1 year: 399 mxn = 19.29 dlls Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack 1 year: 999 mxn = 48.30 dlls The price increased because the dll increased, that’s it. It’s still the same price as always.
It wasn’t even worth the original price. I don’t care about the games that are offered with NSO since I can already play them through some of my emulators. I have lost respect for Nintendo ever since they started charging people to play online. Same with Sony. Paying to play online shouldn’t be a thing.
I think there's not enough criticism against Nintendo as per usual. Nintendo should've gone under with the Wii U, then we could've gotten Nintendo games in its rightful place, on Steam without online pay. Unfortunately, Nintendrones can't help themselves but support this crap. I mean some of them are blaming Trump, just goes to show how dumb as rocks they can be!
Yeah it's all about value. I think I haven't paid for NSO since Mario Tennis Aces died shortly after it was introduced in 2018. I had paid for one year. For me, the value might have been there if the servers didn't lag and I could find 4 player matches quickly, but that was just not the case. That game became a ghost town almost right when they added paid online, and it completely died when Smash Ultimate came out. There just aren't enough Nintendo gamers to sustain each of their games. People move from one game to the next and generally don't look back. Imagine how stupid I felt paying for a game I couldn't even play. Then I tried Smash Ultimate online and the experience was horrendous. Can't say I'm looking forward to Switch 2 in that regard.
Open source is the way to go. If people can get Microsoft and Playstation to go Open Source, then prices should lower as people are leaving internet services and canceling internet plans to turn to open source alternatives, including open source AI.
Im from Perú...I use a US account so i wasnt aware of the price increase...but if the info ive seen is correct, the price went from $20 dollars to $21.22. I understand the disconfort paying any amount more...but it does feel reasonable with current economy... that been said I am specting dedicated serves and better match making for Splatoon 4 tho. Im not gonna renovate if thats not the case.
Paying to play online feels like a scam, to me. I hope this goes away one day.

That game became a ghost town almost right when they added paid online, and it completely died when Smash Ultimate came out. There just aren't enough Nintendo gamers to sustain each of their games. People move from one game to the next and generally don't look back. Imagine how stupid I felt paying for a game I couldn't even play. Then I tried Smash Ultimate online and the experience was horrendous. Can't say I'm looking forward to Switch 2 in that regard.
at least I don't have to worry about this for a year.
This isnt worth talking about or watching.
Open source is the way to go. If people can get Microsoft and Playstation to go Open Source, then prices should lower as people are leaving internet services and canceling internet plans to turn to open source alternatives, including open source AI.
Could this be a sign that we’re finally getting a GameCube emulator
Love that you have a copy of Tokyo Xtreme Racer out!! Have you been playing the PC game? I absolutely LOVE IT!
Im from Perú...I use a US account so i wasnt aware of the price increase...but if the info ive seen is correct, the price went from $20 dollars to $21.22. I understand the disconfort paying any amount more...but it does feel reasonable with current economy... that been said I am specting dedicated serves and better match making for Splatoon 4 tho. Im not gonna renovate if thats not the case.
Nintendo better improve their online services for the Switch 2. There should be dedicated severs instead of crappy peer to peer.
Time to go back to n64 era gaming . F this
So no one is asking why they changed the price?
