Sony’s online service is better and offers features like party chat. You also get modern games, that’s why it is worth more money. I use that regularly. With Nintendo Network, I didn’t and let my sub run out. It isn’t a social enough service and there was nothing keeping me coming back. People don’t need to defend Nintendo’s weaknesses. It is ok to admit a company you like is worse at something.

Counter point, I hate all the social features and get the same use out of PSN as Nintendo online only at way more for Sony. I do not want to talk to anyone I played with randomly in a game. The average person playing games and then trying to find friends in the game are horrible people I want nothing to do with. If I'm going to just play with goons, I'm meeting up with them in discord and probably using that for voice if needed though honestly text is fine.

Achmed Jones posted:when companies raise prices just because they can, it's gross. This is a really weird take considering they are releasing more of the content they *own* the rights to and to play on the hardware that that have a patent for and created. Also, companies can absolutely just raise prices because they can. This isn't some necessary drug/medicine/basic need they are profiting from. It's a drat video game. If you think the price of 2 bucks a month or whatever is ~gross~ then don't pay it. I think it's a fair price and clearly so does a lot of the world. Spacebump posted:People don’t need to defend Nintendo’s weaknesses. It is ok to admit a company you like is worse at something. I do actually think they are worse at it. But really the only reason I want a Nintendo online sub is cloud backup, and a solid back catalog of games. And that's what I'm getting. I'm not here to compete at mario kart or splatoon or whatever other online game. I know a lot of people are though, and I wish they would make the service better for those people. Thom P.

NSO is cheap as gently caress and serves the purpose I bought it for, though. It's not really something I got thinking "I gotta squeeze every bit of value out of this thing that I can." To be fair, I spent a lot of time paying for MMOs that I actively hated playing  My brain is probably too poisoned to accurately weigh in on it.

Nintendo are going to be cowards and won't include rumble capability in the N64 controller. I'll never get to experience the rumble effect in Ocarina of TIme.

You could also purchase one for your current rate if you were out and had an active sub. (I used to have a lot of dead time where I could listen to books not as much anymore but hey I got like 50 books I want to listen to now!)

Stux posted:im going to pay for the n64 sub and play the games hahaha yeah me too, it'll probably be an additional five bucks a year or something. i'll grumble about it because it's naked "gently caress you pay me," but it's also five bucks and my kid will love it for an hour and that'll be worth it. nintendo's whole strategy here is to just be able to charge little enough that people can justify it in just this way. if they start making it cost a significant amount, folks might decide it's not worth it. im definitely getting a couple sega controllers and at least one n64 controller, too pace shortages. i hope it's easy to get the japanese six-button ones though cause comix zone owns

Speaking of which, I think Winback is the first N64 game that's been rereleased that actually required the memory pack. Maybe we'll finally get the N64 Goemon games

Isn't Miyamoto one of the main reasons they made the "New Super Mario" series what it is. And then made it stay that was for 5 games in a row? I think I heard that somewhere. But I have no idea how true it is.
