    You're not speaking for me. You must be speaking for yourself, no?

    And you're most definitely not one to talk. You'll be the first in line for Re-Boot Camp when it drops!

      I don’t have online for my switch and never would, would be pointless for me. I also wont be getting Advance wars remake as it looks like filthy hearsay, I’ve had the original so many times I don’t feel the need to ever play it again.

        Yep, looking back I dropped using the Switch online when Nintendo launch Switch Online.

        Knowing Nintendo they could probably charge half the userbase £20 per month happily if the service was anything decent

          I'd be up for that if it included all the expansion passes and DLC for all the games, permanent/forever cloud storage, and premium servers for online play. Well, not £20, but €20 maybe.

          I don't need any ROMs at all.

            Maybe a couple of years ago I would have given in but I won't be getting it. As much of a Nintendo fanboy as I am Gamepass has truly swayed me. I'd rather just stick to playing SNES or my 3DS, I've got peeved off with the Switch in recent months and haven't bothered renewing my current online sub.

              My local Smyth's had a white SwOLED in stock yesterday afternoon and I didn't buy it.

              I'm so proud of myself!

                No chance I'd pay that the way Nintendo run their service limiting choice to a handful of titles and let's not even get into their whole artificial creation of shortages. I see the N64 controllers are already on eBay being scalped for £100+. I like Zelda and Mario and they're the only titles I have since launch, but this is mostly because I try to buy games when they're discounted and that happens so rarely Nintendo don't get much of my cash.

                No denying there are some great games in the franchises, but this must be about the 5th or 6th time Nintendo is getting you to pay for OoT. Enough.

                There is the family membership tho, which doesn't look like it has many restrictions, so group together and give Nintendo less money.

                  Seen some speculation that one of the reasons for the high price is the cost of the licensing from Sega. Which seems slightly bizarre as no one was asking for Mega Drive on the service, everyone wanted more Nintendo platforms.

                  I'm going to upgrade my family pack as the cost makes sense for me and Ms. Chopemon both want the AC DLC, I like having the ROM collections on my Switch and if they're going to start adding DLC as part of it for future titles it will work out well.

                    You still have access to some things but not all from the AC DLC if you cancel your sub: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...so-sub-expires

                    It still makes more sense for me to just buy the DLC rather than pay the extra sub.

                      But you need the online sub to play AC online? So why pay for the dlc then get it free with the online sub?

                          There's two tiers of the online subscription, one with the AC DLC and N64/Genesis stuff, and one without it at a cheaper price (the old sub price basically).

                          So if you just want the AC DLC and none of the N64/Genesis stuff, plus want to retain access to the DLC fully if your sub expires then just buy it outright.

                            Yep, that. I have the original online sub and have no interest in the extra stuff the new expansion sub is offering and I’d much rather keep the DLC rather than essentially rent it.

                                Ah ok, the way Nintendo have been advertising the new tiers made it seem like the basic online one has been done away with.
