Nintendo’s Switch Online Price Revealed

Nintendo has released the official pricing for the Nintendo Switch Online game expansion, which has enraged fans all around the world.

Nintendo threw in a little news on the recently announced expansion to their Switch Online service during their Animal Crossing Direct presentation. The current service costs $19.99 a year and includes online play, titles like Pac-Man 99, and access to their NES and SNES game library. They announced the availability of an expansion pack for the online service back in September.

Fans will be able to play N64 and Sega Genesis games on the portable console, but it will come at a cost, as the expansion will cost $50 in addition to the existing subscription price.

Despite the fact that extra features such as Animal Crossing’s new paid DLC are available, some have flocked to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the additional fee for what they believe should be included in the standard subscription. one fan even stated; “Remember those times gaming Twitter came together and collectively bullied Xbox into not canceling Xbox live gold, and PlayStation not Shutting down the ps3, ps vita stores, we should do that to Nintendo and these new Nintendo switch online prices!” 

Then others say Nintendo does not provide as many features as its competitors. Another fan believes it may be compared to Xbox Game Pass because the price is similar saying; “Xbox Game Pass offers far more value than NSO does and even if you don’t want to play those games via subscription, you still have the option to buy them separately.”

On October 25, 2021, the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack will be released, and you will be able to make changes to your existing plan via the website or immediately on your console.
