@@UnreadyBelief well you can but you can only play story mode or just chill and do nothing. if u try going to play online u get kicked back to the plaza
I highly doubt that the membership will help them a lot because people are paying $300 bucks for their console and like $70 bucks for games and for more accessories and stuff like that so I don’t think $20 is that much of a benefit for them
expansion pack doesn't just give you dlcs it gives you n64,sega genesis and now gameboy advance games,i'd reccomend the expansion pack there is a lot of good games
for that price and no set schedule for new games to drop, I disagree. Xbox and playstation you get promised free titles each month. NSO is "new titles when we feel like it"
I remember trying to get into online gaming in Minecraft for my switch but after finding out the real problem I was furious why don’t Nintendo just let us play the games instead of forcing to grab out our money.
I feel like it all comes down to preference as to some people there *is* value in getting the Online Service even if others don’t think so. Besides this Service is at the very least more tolerable then an online streaming service because my god the prices just to keep Netflix is almost unfair at times.
In my experience, Nintendo doesn’t actually allow you to play on more than one console at a time using the same account. Probably as an anti-piracy measure so it won’t be like sharing a streaming service.
Doesn’t seem like the expansion pack rotates content to claim like Stadia, no motivation to get it since some of the content on it won’t even be worth it anyway
If you bought the 50$ one a year is enough to play all the games you want from the legacy collection and still after I played what I wanted I still have 9 months + left
One time I tried buying a game on my Switch, and after starting it, it didn't let me play because I had to get Nintendo Online (the game was Among Us, btw) I wish they warned you what games require Nintendo Online for certain features..... also, one thing is playing a game that has an online function, and another thing is playing a game that is based specifically on playing online
I kinda wish that some of the games didn’t need this kind of thing (I play this game called Enlisted and it is too big for Nintendo consoles but on all other platforms no subscription is needed.)
Well Its Kinda Worth It Becuse I Got The Pack And Got To Play Majora's Mask And Mario 64, And Also Sonic Pinball, Kinda Worth Buying It But Got Almost Broke. At Least I Got The Booster Course Pass For Free. (With The N.S.O Pack Ofc.)
Yes! unless you play games that are all one player. Personally i play lots of multiplayer games that i want to play with friends or would be better online, and it’s only 20 bucks so yes
I have a family plan and it’s highly worth it considering how most games now a days are online and everyone in my house has a Switch except my grandmother.
Even for the nso expansion pass it’s $50 a year for gba and n64 games on top of free dlc for Mario kart, splatoon, and animal crossing. For people who prefer to play retro games on official hardware or for people who only can, even the expansion pass is 100% worth it
I say worth it. Online play is necessary for lots of things. Also, I usually get the $20 thing because I don’t know enough people who play the switch so that I could do the more expensive one for multiple people. I would do it though if I knew people.
Back on the wii u each virtual console game cost around £10. Which means that if you have 7 friends to split the cost of the expansion pass you already on part with buying it individually
Honestly I thought about getting it but decided not to. I don’t need MARIO and Mario maker to play online and I use it portably mostly anyway so I don’t have any connection. In my personal opinion it’s not worth the money
To be honest 🤔 I don't know why Nintendo made to play online member ship I don't know why Nintendo. In my opinion Nintendo switch online doesn't worse it .
You dont get it? Its called marketing. They will go up in price for the family deal. Also, it's like the movie theater popcorn. Small $2.25 Medium $3.75 Large $4.00 . They are directing you to the option they want you to choose
I don't even play online unless it's with friends. I just like having retro games. I can emulate them on my pc or phone, but I'm paying for the convenience and form factor of the official way.
I had many purchase the yearly membership for me since switch online was a pay wall. After four years, the answer is always no, the whole "it just only $20" does not justify terrible online, especially when Microsoft and Sony has better paid online. The service is even useless for individuals who grew up with Nintendo and has a vass library of games / collectables with retro Nintendo games etc. All the download perks are purchase day one for titles of those who are interested in said titles.
Because I care more about the actual physical aesthetic for n64, I rather pay 150 for an actual console WITH jumper pak, and atomic purple controller and having an already bought ocarina of time cartridge in the past amd had friends give me majoras mask, smash 64 and the expansion pak already since they dont want them anymore. Have done it and can say paid once and done and play any time.
Base online is worth it since it's a good deal for a year but expansion pack is a hell no. Sure I'll get N64, GBA, Genesis, etc but they're pretty pointless if you have other means to play them such as having a Wii U, Wii, or emulation. In my case, I got the Steam Deck to play retro stuff and it plays really great, no problems for me. Plus, it feels like you're renting NSO just to play retro games because you'd have to constantly pay if you want to play them while in other means, you can keep it forever. I bought the expansion pack once and I'm not turning back on it again. The only time I'll go for it is for the "exclusive" icons that piques my interest but it sucks since you'd have to pay a lot just to obtain them.
i honestly really love the online expansion pack, it’s reasonably priced for having all online access, all the old console games, the acnh dlc, and all the new mariokart tracks.
I had Xbox, PlayStation for the longest and ever since I gotten a Switch, it’s so much better, I was tired of spending hella money on the online for those consoles but Switch is so cheap when it comes to online service. Literally worth it. Idc if Nintendo online was free before, it’s still mad cheap
It was worth it while I was able to play the MK8DX Booster Pass until I just bought the DLC as a whole after it expired. I only ever buy the $20 for that and some Smash Bros. matches.
I remember buying it for a month to try out Splatoon and I loved the game, I just have no friends to play with so I didn't bother continuing to play for online 🤣
Well it got a lot better with the new game boy and game boy advanced things and they will probably add more this like DLC for games now since more people are buying it now
The thing that annoys me about Nintendo Online is that you're left to pay for services which were far more advanced in the past, and they show little regard to improving. They know they're now separate from the game (being competition) so they know that they only have to offer the bare minimum despite having the means of reviving dead ideas or bringing to life entirely new ones. Sony and Microsoft are constantly improving their services even when they don't necessarily have to so why can't Nintendo? If it weren't so cheap I feel like most people would be throwing money into the void.
Yes $20 is worth the base plan, you get the snes and nes libraries and you can play first party Nintendo games online especially splatoon 2 and soon 3.
I honestly don't mind since i have my own money and i liked that i can play old school games on it. I know it's a big disappointment for nintendo users but we gotta risk it to play with our friends.
I dont know man. I honestly think the expansion pack is worth it. My main reason is the n64 virtual console, and it's necessary for Mario Maker 2. 50 bucks a year isn't terrible.

as a Splatoon player, yes. it is necessary sadly boohooooo
Wait so you need Nintendo switch online or you can't play the game at all?
@@UnreadyBelief you can play the story mode, but the main focus of the game is online multiplayer, and it's locked behind a paywall
@@UnreadyBelief well you can but you can only play story mode or just chill and do nothing. if u try going to play online u get kicked back to the plaza
Mario maker is also the same
@@UnreadyBelief you can play story mode but nso is required to play the main game and to level up
When it first released, I was heartbroken and furious
Me too man
Nintendo fell off
I was so mad
same
I was even before it was paid
„If everyone pitches in equally“
Like that‘s ever going to happen
What a load of *FLUSH*
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD IS GONNA ROLL ME I AINT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED
"is Nintendo switch online wo-" no unless you're a splatoon player in which it's necessary
there are other online switch games dude. goofy ah
20 dollars for a game worth hundreds seems worth it
Smash bros players as well.
@@Nindroid-zw7zc As a Monster Hunter and Splatoon fan yup it is a must plus it is a necessity for fighting games enthusiasts
mk8d players: am i a joke to you?
It’s pretty cheap compared to other services so I’ll take it.
Ikr its cheaper than PlayStation plus or whatever
It is free on pc
@@bananamonke2942 ps plus gives sp much more bruh i jave switch pnline is sp faking useles
Super Mario Maker 2 multiplayer versus is still unplayable with the NSO membership
Smash online matches run mostly okay but sometimes lag a lot
It's 2023 already, online service should be free.
Well, Its really the opposite for most console corporations. The "Pay for online" concept has only came to effect in the last 4 years.
You see the problem with this is that you need friends
We and 6 other can do it together 👍
We need 5 more
No my friends play on pc we don’t waste time on the twink switch
@@DefaultgxthYou’re the kind of person that says ‘I play a variety of games’ but only plays cod, cs and Fortnite.
The hard part is finding 7 other friends lol
"pay 20$ a year" that sounds like Nintendo trying to get money......and they did got alot of money off of it (i think)
Hmm yes floor is made out of floor
THIS JUST IN COMPANIES MAKE MONEY
I highly doubt that the membership will help them a lot because people are paying $300 bucks for their console and like $70 bucks for games and for more accessories and stuff like that so I don’t think $20 is that much of a benefit for them

I only got it for the virtual emulators and the most important of all, cloud saving
You need it if your into mario maker or splatoon, which are quite literally the only 2 games i play on the switch
I remember trying to get into online gaming in Minecraft for my switch but after finding out the real problem I was furious why don’t Nintendo just let us play the games instead of forcing to grab out our money.
“Gather 7 friends”
See, that’s the problem
Yooo my likes never had this much man
Edit: I passed this comment’s likes with a different one
LONELINESS FOR THE WIN WOOOOOOOOOO
😂😂😂I’m dying
yo we should pair up for it
Th3n just get a single non expansion pack membership
I have the ammount of friends but not everyone has a nintendo switch
I sure do love buying Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and Gameboy Advance games at a one time cost on Nintendo Switch!
you can also play a lot of old nintendo games (for the free)…. so i say it’s worth it mainly for that
I feel like it all comes down to preference as to some people there *is* value in getting the Online Service even if others don’t think so. Besides this Service is at the very least more tolerable then an online streaming service because my god the prices just to keep Netflix is almost unfair at times.
i have online and i would say it’s 100 percent worth it. comes with a lot of cool games and some game passes.
This is why we all share one online account.
In my experience, Nintendo doesn’t actually allow you to play on more than one console at a time using the same account. Probably as an anti-piracy measure so it won’t be like sharing a streaming service.
Was going to get the expansion pack to play some N64 games. Saw you can only pay yearly and was like “that’s a big fat NOPE”.
I remember when this didn’t exist.
Such good times with my switch.
Me : i like playing online
Nintendo: pay me
Everyone: DAMMIT
Honestly if you want to just play online games and that’s it but a LAN Cable and if you don’t have a LAN port then you can buy a USB adapter for it
Doesn’t seem like the expansion pack rotates content to claim like Stadia, no motivation to get it since some of the content on it won’t even be worth it anyway
I'm a splatooner so I think online + nes and snes are good but 30 extra for dlc and the n64 is pushing it
Definitely the expansion pack because it's literally cheaper than buying one game per year on the switch being able to play all those games is amazing
I got a 3 year subscription when I got the expansion pack
If you bought the 50$ one a year is enough to play all the games you want from the legacy collection and still after I played what I wanted I still have 9 months + left
One time I tried buying a game on my Switch, and after starting it, it didn't let me play because I had to get Nintendo Online (the game was Among Us, btw)

I just buy the 12 month individual membership. £17.99 a year and I get to play online, pretty much the only reason I have it is for Splatoon anyway.
Well Its Kinda Worth It Becuse I Got The Pack And Got To Play Majora's Mask And Mario 64, And Also Sonic Pinball, Kinda Worth Buying It But Got Almost Broke. At Least I Got The Booster Course Pass For Free. (With The N.S.O Pack Ofc.)
Yes! unless you play games that are all one player. Personally i play lots of multiplayer games that i want to play with friends or would be better online, and it’s only 20 bucks so yes
I just out mastered the world by the family expansion pack on February 29th good luck paying every 4 years
I WANNA FKN PLAY N64 GAMES ON MY SWITCH
Correction. For the seppos it's 20 USD. But for Australia. It's double.
Dawg I want to play MM, OOT and Minish Cap. This expansion pack is actually torture
It’s absolutely worth it for me as I use it every day. A small price to pay for something that I use that frequently
i literally bought the expansion one 2 weeks ago, maybe seeing this earlier would’ve been nice lol
I have a family plan and it’s highly worth it considering how most games now a days are online and everyone in my house has a Switch except my grandmother.
Even for the nso expansion pass it’s $50 a year for gba and n64 games on top of free dlc for Mario kart, splatoon, and animal crossing. For people who prefer to play retro games on official hardware or for people who only can, even the expansion pass is 100% worth it
If your into the nes/snes stuff, just use emulation. Nothing piracy cant solve!
I say worth it. Online play is necessary for lots of things. Also, I usually get the $20 thing because I don’t know enough people who play the switch so that I could do the more expensive one for multiple people. I would do it though if I knew people.

I think it would have been better if the you could get the retro games for like the snes 6,99 and that's it
Considering the fact that you also get the nes, snes, and gb with the base nso and n64, genesis and gba with expansion pass, that’s a pretty good deal
Bro I don’t have 7 friends, let alone ones have a switch that play it regularly
so good just playing Mario 64 in the switch. Take it with you!
Yeah it’s worth it. I love playing games online and I love all the extras.
i wanna nintendo switch online just for nes,snes,gb,n64,gba

Friends were never an option
I expected Nintendo to do this. It always felt weird not having to pay I felt like I was breaking the game.
for like really big nintendo fans, im thinking that the expansion pack is showing its worth
It’s worth it if you play smash, splatoon, Mario maker and probably some other games
