Why do people think that gamepass has free games. You literally pay for the service
Still a way better value you get brand new $60 releases day one not decade old emulations
You pay for the service for the games on it, but then new games are added at no additional cost. Thatâs free brother
@@The_MEMEphis honestly I love it lol
@@liamflan9553 mean youâre paying the company no matter how many games you play a year. You can look at it both ways. Not saying itâs a bad value but it depends on the person. I bet a lot of people pay gamepass and they have a switch and maybe a ps5. So they arenât just paying gamepass. If you were only paying gamepass and you never wanted to play other games then itâs probably a good deal. Not sure how realistic that is though. Either way people like the service.
I got 8 free games. Torchlight 1 some fun xbox 360 games and the zombie show game. My baby mom love me playing that cause the story is different than the show.
I actually finally just upgraded to the Expansion Pass two days ago. Iâm pretty freaking happy with it. Itâs no GamePass, but itâs pretty great. And super cheap for what you get.
It is $50 a year
@@Megamon0001, thatâs still less than $5 dollars a month. The only reason people complained about the expansion pack is because they saw a big $50 and said âNintendoâs charging too much moneyâ without checking how much per month it is.
@@Xenowolf8 you donât get much more for a $30 increase? Their n64 emulator is also đ©
@@FRAMEDSKATEKREW69 They fixed it. You seem like the kind of person who thinks that piracy is good because it âfights back against Nintendoâs predatory business practicesâ, but nobody wants to here about that. So shut up, and let people enjoy something for once.
Edit: Your username makes a lot of sense.
@@FRAMEDSKATEKREW69 mario kart dlc is $25 by itself
Don't forget the most important part of the online service: being able to play Japanese versions and previously exclusive titles with a Japanese Switch account. Getting rid of region-locking for the Switch is one of the best things that Nintendo has ever done.
One really cool thing is the treatment of Zelda. With links awakening dx, if you didn't get the switch remake, that version is a justifiable alternative. The switch can now play every console zelda game except for wind waker and twilight princess (still hoping for the wii u hd remasters to come to switch) and the cdi games (which nobody cares about). With Minish cap and the upcoming oracle games, we've got access to every portable zelda game prior to the ds. So of all of the zelda games, switch will be able to play everything that anybody wants except for wind waker, twilight princess, link between worlds, and I know some people like spirit tracks and phantom hourglass too. That's a ton of zelda.
You actually only need a Japanese acct to download the programs\get the free game trials. I added my Japanese acct to family acct but can use my US Acct to play snes, gb, nes.
Removing region locks was brilliant. I bought the Dragon Quest 1-3 collection and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet, imported from Japan, before Dragon Quest was on on the shop in the US.
Sure thats fine but do you read Japanese because I don't lol?
@@GVideo34 The games I imported from Japan had English language options.
Apples with apples compare the year long Nintendo price to the year long price in oyher consoles NOT the monthly price which coincidentally is higher.
They need to get twilight princess on there
We need GCN before that.
I very much love the videos you do where you talk more about the good things and the happy news. Thank you for this video!
Agreed. Other CZcamsrs are so negative on Switch Online.
I'm more worried about the next gen console for Nintendo. I will be very upset if Nintendo makes me repurchase the digital games i bought for the switch. I would like to not have to keep my switch to play ACNH in the future. Hopefully all digital game purchases will follow us into the future.
If they don't do that time to switch to pc for me đđ
You sell consoles after the new one comes out? Why? Those could be worth a lot in the future and itâs nice to have those older consoles just for the novelty. I do agree with you that backwards compatibility is the way to go though.
You were able to change the theme on the 3Ds
I think the eshop VC was way way better to me.đ
As someone plays all the games that they released DLC for on NSO i think it is absolutely worth it because in my experience im getting 65 dollars of DLC plus n64, gba and sega genesis on top of that but I still think it needs more games.
Youâre renting that dlc though. It goes away once you stop paying and the pack expires
lmao u mean those free roms?
@@DeInevitable True
@@DeInevitable not everyone plays enough to warrant buying a pc
@@hewhoislife its 2023 i thought everyone had a pc, if not you can play roms on your phone too.
I don't want to rent games
Facts or lower the price to twenty dollars
Is there anyway I can get an NHL game on the switch? Especially the early ones..94-95. Etc..
Do you have to have an internet connection to play the games or can you download them to your switch?
I completely agree on themes for switch maybe they add the ability to take your screenshots of your favorite gaming moments and turn them into themes
thats why i only do the $20 individual membership. I still got gameboy games online, just not online advance as well.
So question, if you buy a game bit forget to renew your membership. Can you play the game?
I am expecting if they ever add Gamecube games we get a Second Expansion.
I would pay for that. Iâd love to see GameCube games on the switch. Though thereâs N64 games Iâm STILL waiting to see if they get released on NSO so who knows if/when the GameCube will come out.
Probably charged us 70 dollars đ€Łđ€Ł
Is it worth buying if I only play Pokemon Violet on this and I was thinking to buy it to complete dex by trading gen exclusive 20 or so pokemons
Do you keep previous Nintendo console games of you cancel the subscription?
I just got the 7-day trial of Nintendo Switch Online so that I could play the older games. Is that the one that has NES, SNES and Game Boy, and costs $1.67 per month? And then you have to pay extra for Nintendo 64, Genesis and GBA? Or is it $1.67 for all six of those systems? Even if it's only the first three systems, it's a good deal considering how many games it has.
I am from a time when the number 1 rule was back up your data. So i only have the standard service for my game saves. I tried playing some of the old games from my childhood. They just donât hold up compared to todays games.
Game pass isn't just retro games though it's also current releases. It's Mario and Luigi superstar saga, partners in time was for DS.
You predict more dlc every year(including mario party)yet youâre always wrong also i hate it when people defend this $50 service that barely works i still stand by they need a monthly tier for NSO+EP
They (nintendo) needs to di more.
What I don't get is nintendo can put ACNH HH and MK8 extra tracks on for FREE on the nso+EP but not fire emblem DLC (just the extra storyline) if going forward nintendo places all DLC for FREE to the nso+ep that would be worth it and also giving the user the buy the DLC out right (like mk8 extra tracks and ACNH HH)
ive seen themes come up are they not backrounds?
im looking at it like all i want it for is gba and being able to save my data so i can play on both my oled and switch lite
The switch is my favorite console of all time. It literally has everything my childhood had and more
Get a steam deck and you will be blown away đź
I've been a member of Nintendo switch online since almost the beginning. And I got the expansion pack as soon as it was announced as well. To me it's worth it and it's an even greater value than it used to be. First thing I like about it is that you basically have access to a great majority of the Zelda games on one console thanks to the NSO. In the future they can easily add other systems such as GameCube etc and possibly add wind waker and twilight princess to it should they choose to (since apparently no remasters). And if I want to visit my friends on animal crossing I have to pay for online service anyways so for me the service only gets better and better
Yeah, it is a really good online service, but don't you think that it's very expensive to get the expansiĂłn pack when you don't have friends to share, letting You pay a cheaper price?
@@allanazofeifaampie1557 I pay for the family plan by myself, it's worth it to me because my sister, nephews, niece, and mom can all play online with me. I do agree that the family plan plus expansion pack that I pay for at 80 is a bit higher than I had expected, but when I think of all the Xbox live memberships I used to pay for costing 60 dollars a year, then I think maybe NSO is worth more than that since it includes 8 people and only costs 20 more. Plus I've been a Nintendo fan my whole life, I grew up on Zelda and Mario, I don't really use half the games Xbox provides but have already spent over 300 hours with the NSO stuff
Is Street Fighter IV or above available on Nintendo Switch OLED?
Is OLED the best picture quality overall compared to previous models?
Is the family pack worth it? Can you switch users? Is the pack you mention available on the Family Pack? Is Mario Kart part of the plan?
Thanks
For $60 PlayStation gives you ps4 and ps5 games. The newest game Nintendo offers is from almost 20 years ago
Zach your videos are really good and you made my day
I'm sorry but I'm still at the opinion that it is 100% not worth any amount of money until they put/add ALL of their games, every single last one for every console they have and increase the graphics for the games. Then and only then it would be worth it
yeah you can buy cheap chinese emulator machines that has all of nintendo games up to the gamecube for less then $100.
Iâm new to nintendo I wanna get the membership to switch online can I play all the games that are on line play Iâm so confuse
What is the Expantion pack like 20$ + the 50$ or just everything for 50$?
Something no one ever talks about is that Nintendo only putâs games on the service that they can keep on the service. Games are added but unlike the other platforms they never leave.
Xbox games they own don't leave
Thanks for posting this!
Currently I have all three services (psplus, xboxpass, and Nintendo online). For me, in Ohio, I am considering getting rid of all services except for Nintendo, because our online bandwidth is not worth the hours of having to wait.
Oh boy here come the 11 year olds to make fun of OhioâŠ
If you have a nintendo switch lite should you get a new switch or wait for the next nintendo console
depends on your play style in my oppinion but if you upgrade to switch pay extr afor the oled it has an actual stand instead of piece of plastic they call a stand trust me i know since i have regular switch as a gift after i bought a switch lite however sometime there will be the next nintendo console but imo it will be not out for a while. but it might be worth it to wait who knows
The price is unbelievable madness
What is that talk about getting Mario & Luigi Partners in Time for free for 4$ ?! Where can i get that ? Was he talking about Superstar Saga on gba switch online expansion pass and he just said the wrong game ?!
But they left the 3ds to die even though if they really plan things out, the 3ds would of been so much better for the handheld games like some more Pokemon Games. Finding old games for any system will cost you a kidney and any body part.
Do you have to have a switch to play online with a group? Does each person need a switch in this situation?
You asking if you need a Switch to play online with a group that has their Switches? Yes, of course. Do you expect to play Mario Kart 8 online with a PS5? Now, there are some cross platform games. So if you're playing Fornite on a PS5, you can play with people on their Switches.
Would love to see more games added consistently.
Why is splatoon 2s off the hook symbol in the thumbnail
Oh I'm dumb octo expansion and how do you get partners in time we only have superstar saga
i don't want to rent games, i actually want to own them.
Will get this after Christmas when I get my new switch
Zelda. If you didn't buy the link's awakening switch remake, the game boy color dx version is a viable alternative. With the release of minish cap and the upcoming oracle games, we've now got access to a ton of awesome zelda games on switch: everything anyone wants except for wind waker, twilight princess, link between worlds, and I guess spirit tracks and phantom hourglass are supposed to be pretty decent too. We've got a ton of great zelda games on switch, and I'm still holding out hope that they port the wind waker and twilight princess HD games from wii u.
Iâve been confused about switch online. Am I paying to play online and the games are a bonus? Or am I paying for the games and playing online is a bonus
I only signed up to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack recently because I was able to find 3 other friends with Switches to go 4âs up with on the more value for money 12 month Family Membership good for up to 8 Switches so it would even be better to one day find 4 more friends with Switches but we still saved a bunch for now!đ€Ł
if you get the family pack and have 7 other people to share it with the cost will end up at 0.67$/month for each person
My Switch Online subscription ends in April and I'm renewing it.
Family plan with 8 people chipping evenly makes it like .84c a month.
I have a family NSO Expansion pass subscription. I pay for myself and 2 of my sons. My brother pays for himself, his girlfriend, and another brother. 2 other friends pay for their acounts. So splitting the family plan 8 ways comes out to less than $11 for the entire year for each account. That's a good value.
Still waiting for Sim City for snes.
Yeah as well as NBA Showdown
Hi switch force love your nintendo videos I have a had my switch for about 2 yrs now I like the console portable whatever a lot of so happens that my expansion pass subscription is running out and I was hesitant to renew it but you have made see it in a different way yes I own Xbox game pass ultimate but you are right nintendo is the cheapest service and they are improving everyday thank you for making me renew my subscription
All of us veteran switch users know this by now but for those who dont know with switch online if you have the nes snes sega n64 gameboy gba all of these can be played with OR WITHOUT INTERENET! that is the huge thing that keeps me paying 50 a year its not the only thing but it is a large part
like once you get the icon on your homescreen you don't need wifi to play games if you're subscribed?
@@chocolatewheelchair exactly
@@chocolatewheelchair I guess your email is enough for them to know you are a member I play my switch taking my step kids home with no wifi at all and never have an issue firing up the emulator s
@@chocolatewheelchair and I usually just play the emulator s when I'm taking them home
I am just waiting for the expansion pack till they introduce pokemon games on the virtual gba
What about games and Xbox for Nintendo
Rare LTD for Nintendo I used to love that games
And what about Nintendo GameCube and ds NSO
I've had the switch online service for $50 a year going on 4 years now
What needs to happen asap is they need to release an updated switch that can handle 1080 or 1440 docked because a lot of the games look god awful on a big screen
It be nice to have messaging and voice chat natively on switch with online, at $50 a year why shouldn't things work like a modern console? It would also be nice to have expansion pass exclusive discounts on the eshop, gamers don't want find alternative ways to play around the service limitations, we want things to work and function basic communication options like the other consoles and have deals that make us wanna brag about how much we save.
You mentioned animal crossing but no mention of Mario Kart DLC for shame lol that in of itself right there has been worth the expansion pack everything else is a bonus
$50 a year to play 10 n64 games? ll just go to emulation lol
People have been getting NES games free for 20 years on emulators. Why would you spend $50 a year to get something that is free.
Dude you are easily impressed it seems
Think the thing that bugs me is the 'free' DLC, it's basically inciting you to buy the game to take advantage of a freebie you feel you need to take advantage of. Would much rather a focus on some free games even if not AAA nintendo releases. Also, I've purchased many of these games many times before. Do love how new gamers get a chance to play some classic games though.
My boy is mistaken because you only get Nintendo and Super Nintendo for the $4 a month. to get everything else that has been mentioned you have to pay $50 for an expansion pack once a year.
Idk Iâm a Retro game player. The old consoles that play online would be compatible with those retro games on the switch will be compatible
the older console
Waiting for the final wave for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass expansion.
I don't want features bro, I want games. I'm a gamer. Gimme games, i want Nintendo to bring games i never heard about not the ones everybody already knows.
Windows 95 on the backend! Not sure how off that is.
đšđšđš
Anyone else want another Diddy Kong Racing game đ©đ© or at least have the old one added to the expansion đđ»đđ»đđ»
Should I buy the OLED or wait there is new one coming?? Or buy steam deck
Steam deck is a good choice. You will get better games .
But in my own experience, you wonât get first party games and emulating them kind of makes me feel guilty
If you get the OLED switch. You can get retro games by the way with the Nintendo switch online.
Spoiler alert â ïž đą Nintendo is buying the steam deck and rebranding it as the next switch!
â@@SleekFindsyou feel guilty over a multi billion dollar company
The problem for me is I wish the would let me pay for the Nintendo online expansion monthly instead of making me pay $50 for the full year for the expansion and thatâs pretty much why I didnât buy it at first. $50 isnât much but for me itâs much more affordable to pay $4 monthly for basic online then forking over that $50 at one time. Iâm trying to budget right now lol. So Iâm here like is it really worth it? Because I love game boy advance games .
I agree I'm not gonna play N64, Genesis and GBA games for a whole year I might just finish up their entire library and never touch them (the libraries are tiny)
I havenât switched yet but if I can play old school Kirby and star fox n64 youâve already sold me
They really charge you 4.50$ per month or $50 instant fully charge? Iâm confused
You can't pay per month that's just how much it would cost if you break down the yearly charge per month
@@The_MEMEphis thank you, I was confused
I am only paying for regular online,I didn't play expansion pack much
You forget 1 really important thing: Pokémon home. As you need nso for Pokémon home and with it the service is much more expensive. And When you take that into account, as well as the fact that not everyone have the games to play the dlcs with (personally I don't have mario nor do i plan to buy it anytime soon and I never played nor owned Splatoon as i don't want to start playing from the second or third game in a series (or the 8th one in case of mario paty) so I can't play those dlcs even with the service). Then all the expansion pack has to offer me personally is the very buggy n64. As i already bought the genesis collection from the eshop before the expansion pack was even announced. And with so little titles on the gba (without even a single Pokémon game). The service is just not worth it to me right now. Unless they will add all the Pokémon games with home connectivity or ds 3ds game cube wii or wii u games to the service as I never owned those systems I don't think I will ever upgrade.
I'm sticking to the basic level.... but plan to revisit after I beat tears of the kingdom.
Yup canât lie I only bout the base online just for Switch Sports I love that game. But after the GBA and 007 update I got the family plan for 80$ which is a great deal up to 8 people on one account so I charge 10$ for anyone who want to join, hoping if I get more members I only would be payin 10$ a year
also wouldve been EXTREMLY HELPFUL if you hadve listed all the games you get
If they add GC, and games I will play, I will pay the higher price, even though I already have the DLC for ACNH and Mario Kart.
7 formats... You forgot Game Boy Color.
Also CD size is no longer an issue, what about Sega CD, 32X, Master System, Saturn, and Dreamcast?
How about Turbo Grafx or Neo Geo?
I would say Atari but they have a game called Atari Flashback
What aren't people saying? That Nintendo needs to fix the freaking Splatoon 3 servers!
It is pretty sad when you compare it to its competition. I think NSO had a very weak start but it's starting to become a decent experience for one year
If on Pokemon day they announced that the gb/GBA Pokemon games are coming to the switch online then I will definitely subscribe.
I don't get people that buy a Nintendo console for Pokémon, i own a switch i own all 3 Digimon games so far and Pokken and that's all i need from Pokémon. A Pokken 2... Please Harada San?
Iâm okay with the $50 price. I only have to pay for it once a year and get to play games I missed out on as a kidâŠ. Plus Nintendo has been adding more games to their og consoles. I Iâm all about Nintendo
You Have 6 Questions đĄ
1- What is The Price of Nintendo NES Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
2- What is The Price of Super Nintendo Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
3- What is The Price of Nintendo 64 Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
4- What is The Price of SEGA Genesis Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
5- What is The Price of GameBoy Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
6- What is The Price of GameBoy Advance Games on Nintendo Switch Online?
Wait a minute pokemon saphire on switch i would almost never play anything else
Pokemon crystal needs to come to the switch game boy service. That was my favorite game back on the game boy color.
When this service continues with switch 2 they gonna add DS and GC I hope
I doubt GC since that covers a lot of games that Nintendo rather remaster lol
Iâm addicted to Kuru Kuru Kurin on GBA NSO. Very pleasant game!
Yeah great one
Trying really hard to justify Nintendo's lack of online services but comparing Gamepass and Switch Online is a poor choice in my opinion.
I think that the expansion pack seems a little bit more appealing than I thought it was except for the fact that a full 50 bucks still is a bit much for me right now. Especially considering that you do get the DLCs for free, đŁđ¶đ” if it expires or aren't able to pay for it again because of having to get in real life necessities to well...live (food, housing, phone and internet bills, etc.), you'll completely lose access to them at all (assuming that if you haven't bought them already before hand). I do like how if you already have the lower tier of the online membership, each amount of days that you have on that subscription counts as 5 cents towards a pseudo-discount on the expansion pass so that if you're short on money, you'll be able to afford it.
Since I extended my subscription (the $20 one) by a about a year and 2 months on right now, that gives me a $20 discount on the expansion pass, therefore making it 30 bucks to upgrade. Another year (or more) would be another $20 off and it'd be just 10 bucks, and so on. on the other hand, though, Steam on PC offers multiplayer for games that support it and the like just for signing up for a account. so...there's that ig
Xbox Game Pass I tried it out on my PC it is good. Switch Online has gotten better, but Nintendo needs to do what Sony has done more release exclusive bangers. Switch Online should have Game Cube, Wii, Wii U, SEGA CD, 32X (both under Genesis), and maybe even Arcade games
I'm 41 and I've just discovered this service. I'll have my switch in a couple days lol.
for me its only 8,75⏠per year, or 73 cents per month, i could fill my family group with friends, but also its easy with any discord cool community, for this price and all the stuff u and the other comments focus, its great for me, i have been with online since paying start, and any of us even think of stop paying it.. :D
Still no button remapping, so it's a no for me
Many say Game Pass price will likely go up this year with the release of games like Redfall and Starfield, $20 a month minimum now. Some think it could go to $30 a month.
Maybe but redfall is ass
Basically this video is selling you on NSO I suggest emulation and don't pay for a crappy online service.
nintendo can easily put everything on their service making it 1000% more attractive. nowadays you can buy cheap chinese emulator machines that literally has thousand of games already preinstalled.
I hope for classic Pokémon games to nso
NSO kicks ass. The games I mostly play are the games provided by NSO. That was the whole reason I wanted one when I could have a official portable N64.
I wish they would get rid of the ugly borders when playing expansion games
