I have decided once more not to get the expansion pack. There's just not the games I want to try out just yet (or that I have the time to play), and it is still a lot more money than I'm willing to pay annually at that. I'll just pay for the Mario Kart DLC, 25 euro is not bad. I thought about our Family Plan thread, which is a great idea, but I'm a bit shy about being beholden to internet people I think. Did they add former DLC to the expansion pass? Like BotW, Hyrule Warriors, or Splatoon 2? Or is it just AC and Mario Kart at the moment? It seems like more of a rip-off than I realized at first.

Not gonna financeshame anyone and if you don't personally see the value in it then that's fine, but it's $2 per month. I'd struggle to call that a ripoff regardless of what's being offered.

The Expansion Pass went from "It's a little expensive for the N64 games but I'll get a little use out of the AC DLC too" to basically paying for itself with the Mario Kart DLC.

It seems like more of a rip-off than I realized at first. Personally, having already They may not have added older titles to it if they don't respond well to someone's DLC subscription lapsing. Like, if you play BotW on a Switch that's primary for an eShop account that's purchased the DLC, but playing under a different account, and then you make that Switch non-primary, the user should no longer have access to the DLC. But what actually happens? Do the DLC bits gracefully disappear? Do they persist when they shouldn't? Does the whole thing blow up? The above is a bit of a contrived scenario but is something that can easily happen when DLC Is part of a subscription, so they probably only want to include titles that they know will tolerate that situation well.

This is what I was talking about. I just stole this list from a kotaku comment. If they really are porting courses out of the Mario Kart Mobile game, all of the following might be in the new dlc. This list doesn't add up to 48 but also doesn't include Tokyo Blur (Tour), Choco Mountain (Tour), or Coconut Mall. Even with those 3 course added to everything that has been in Tour, we aren't at 48. Original Courses: - New York Minute - London Loop - Vancouver Velocity - Los Angeles Laps - Merry Mountain - Berlin Byways - Sydney Sprint - Singapore Speedway Retro Courses: SNES: - Mario Circuit 1, 2, 3 - Donut Plains 1, 2 - Ghost Valley 1 - Choco Island 1 - Vanilla Lake 1, 2 - Koopa Troopa Beach 2 64: - Koopa Troopa Beach - Kalimari Desert - Frappe Snowland Super Circuit: - Bowser’s Castle 1, 2 - Cheep-Cheep Island - Sunset Wilds Double Dash: - Dino Dino Jungle DS: - Luigi’s Mansion - Waluigi Pinball - DK Pass - Airship Fortress Wii: - DK Summit - Maple Treeway Kart 7: - Daisy Hills - Cheep Cheep Lagoon - Shy Guy Bazaar - Mario Circuit - Rock Rock Mountain - Wario Shipyard - Rosalina’s Ice World - Bowser’s Castle - Rainbow Road Spacebump fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Feb 11, 2022 |

External Organs posted:Hello switcheroos. Looking for recommendations for games that can simultaneously be played online and couch co-op so my wife and I can play with my in laws in another state. So far Super Mario 3D World is our main thing and while it's hella fun, I'm just looking for something with a different flavor. I believe this also works for smash and Mario Kart, so other recommendations are welcome. I think Mario Kart 8 can do this?

Retro Bowl is a lot of fun if anyone is looking for a football fix before Sunday. I played it a bunch on iOS and jumped on the preorder as soon as I saw it pop up. Just started it this morning and already 6 games into my first season.

That'd still be 6.50 a month which isn't bad, but it's not something I would make much use of. And I said rip-off in the fact that it's only two DLC so far when I feel it could've been more. But you're right, it's not that bad. 2 more euro or 4 total a month is far more bearable, but still I'd rather just own the DLC than have it be at risk of lapsing.

It's also just 50 euro as well so it's not all that bad either. I don't like the idea that if I let the Pass lapse I lose the DLC content, but I suppose I could just outright purchase it then. A GLISTENING HODOR posted:$25 for a steak with two sides? It's more the about the one time fee versus the annual one. What I really have to decide is if I'll ever want to get the expansion pass in general because if so then it's redundant what I'm doing. And I'm just not sure if I'm that invested in playing N64 games. I'd love to see Wave Race, Mario Party, and especially Smash bros show up on it. That image reminds me of that weird DS game with rabbit people put out by Sega. Can't remember what that was called. strange feelings re Daisy posted:Warlock of Firetop Mountain is on sale for $3 on the eshop down from $30. This was originally a physical gamebook by Steve Jackson mimicking the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series but with roleplaying elements like health points, items, and dice rolls. This looks super neat and I've gotten into tabletop gaming recently. Could be fun to pick up. I love the aesthetic.

I think I am just going to get the $25 DLC and not mess with the expansion pass for it, even though I own the expansion pass. The thing that pisses me off about the expansion pass is that it doesn't work for all profiles on your account if you have an individual plan, like I do. So for Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise, only my character could go to the island and the other people in my family couldn't unless they played as my character. Which caused some drama with my daughter. But then she played it like 3 times and hasn't touched it again, so HHP wasn't her thing anyway. I don't know... It makes me wonder if I am going to be able to play local multiplayer with the new Mario Kart DLC if I have the Individual Expansion Pack. Like is it going to be some bullshit where all the profiles on my account need to have the expansion pack as well, like with Animal Crossing? I assume that if you just buy it outright that it won't be a problem

But I have NO memory of what those complaints were. I think I had just come off a long stretch of Into the Breach, and everything about TS felt slow in comparison.

The DLC is a nice bonus if you have the expansion pass already, but it doesn’t justify it on its own, not even close. To play all the MK levels you’d need 2 years of service at $30 or $50 per year depending on whether you already have online, since the levels are being released until at least mid next year. And then if you want to keep playing them after that, it’s another $30-$50 per year. As opposed to a single $25 purchase and you can still play them 10 years from now without spending another dime. To make the expansion pass truly worth the value, they’d probably need all the DLC for every first-party game, and even then, most people who would care about the older stuff have it already. LOL at the mega drive and N64 games.

Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are the only games in living memory that I ended up returning, so I tuned out of the Direct in the middle of 3's announcement. The first XC isn't perfect, but I really liked it and it's a shame that its sequels just refuse to have the same vibe. More Mario Kart DLC is a major win, though, especially because I'm signing up for the Expansion Pass later this month. I have a handful of buddies I still play couch multiplayer with so the DLC and Mario Strikers were huge for us. Oh, and Chrono Cross. That was a random but welcome shock.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:LOL in 2 years the Switch 2 is coming out and the purchases won't carry over and you'll just be buying Mario Kart all over again. Yeah that's likely. It'll take a major title to get me shelve my Switch for its successor, like BotW 2. But really, I'd like to keep up with my Switch for as long as I can, there are so many games on it. At most upgrade to an OLED, which I'm reluctant to do as it was originally a gift and that seems a bit lovely to do. American McGay posted:I paid $2.50 and played 50 hours of the greatest video game ever made, Paper Mario. Checkmate. That wasn't the first time you played it, right? Ignorance is saving me on that one since I've never played any Paper Mario, aside from Super Paper Mario, so I can't miss what I never knew. It's the thing that's keeping me from blowing so much money on games I'll never play in general in fact...

RC Cola posted:Skyward sword on the switch. Can I use a pro controller or am I doing myself a disservice? I just finished Skyward Sword last night. I've seen pretty much everyone rank it as one of the worst Zeldas but I actually really enjoyed it. Disclaimer: I played Link to the Past and BotW but missed everything in between so maybe even a bad Zelda is good. That said, I started using the joycons and was repeatedly embarrassed by the first 'boss'. Switched to using the Pro Controller and other than having to hold L so the right stick controls the camera it is miles better. Controversial opinion - I liked Skyward Sword better than the Links Awakening remake. LA just felt like a not as good LttP and Skyward Sword was more unique. But again i missed all the in betweens so maybe if I played Majora's Mask or whatever I would change my mind.
