Let me know in the comments if you think the Nintendo switch expansion pack is worth it in 2023. Are you playing the 64 games? Do you use the DLC? Let me know down below!

what everyone wants to know. WILL WE GET GBA POKEMON GAMES
I just want Mario games lol
I want GBA Pokémon games…
They know a lot are waiting for pokemon games. That's why we will never get them
Well if everybody would just boycott them until they put them on there and stop paying the money then they'll do it it's common Sense really people just can't go without their video games so they'll pay anyways lol @@faiga3544
They will probably remake the Pokemon games since so popular and cash in! Crazy not on rom library!
Wouldn't it be awesome if the switch membership include actual switch games itself like how xbox pass is?
it doesnt????? im confused by all this, im getting a switch for my daughter next month and im lost.. lol
It would be unsustainable like Gamepass is.
@@0badboy0no its old nes, snes games
@0badboy0 then if you pay more you get gameboy advance games and n64 games. Really they should have gamecuve and wii games but nintendo being nintendo milk you dry
Thank you so much. I was curious if the expansion pack was worth getting, since i just stated playing my Switch more recently.
As someone who has emulator consoles I think the nso expansion is worth it but the main question is “is it worth it for you” for me I like it because all the retro games all on one console I love to switch from botw to Mario 64 to me it’s worth it because I’m on the go and I like to just take 1 console not all my emulator consoles so I find value in it also you gotta be a big nintendo fan since you’re playing mainly old games which age well but are old games compared to ps plus which gives new games . What I recommend is try the expansion at least once play all the games and after save up for a RP3+ it can emulate all the way up to GameCube then you can download the games you liked while on the expansion and you’ll get to keep them!
Was about to say, I got a rp3+, 2 of the rg35xx consoles and a miyoo mini plus. It's kinda pointless to spend money on it imo
Glad I found this video, after watching hopped into the discord and found a family group to join. Now enjoying NSO expansion pack benefits
Hello what is the discord and how do I do what you did. ?
If this service get GBA Pokémon games it’s gonna be worth it.
I doubt Nintendo will pay for it sadly.I feel your pain on this and my heart goes out to you but you have about as much chance as me getting Square-Enix games on the online. You will get BURNED by Nintendo on this and I dont need future knowledge just look at Nintendo's past on betraying fans
Considering what PS Plus is this sure as heck is worth it to me at least I'm for the Retro games some of the best games at that so yes very very well worth it.
3:12 I don’t wanna be annoying but you accidentally misspoke and said $35 a month when it’s a yearly charge. But I think the prices are very worth it and my regular membership ends this month! Going to upgrade to the expansion pass for my next yearly billing
I'm more of a ps5 dude, but recently liked my switch so much for it's portability and the cool games on it. Now thinking to get switch online as I'm not getting ps plus till it's worth it now. The price for this isn't too expensive and might get that voucher deal for some games like odyssey and something else (as I'm a bit new to nintendo games overall).
20 dollars is much cheaper than playstation's options so i think its really worth it
@@HeadRedShot What games would you recommend if I get the voucher because Odyssey looks fun, I have splatoon 2 so don't know if I need the 3rd one)?
@@McSmurfy if you have splatoon 2 i wouldnt get 3. odyssey is one of my favorite games on switch and (im not sure what exact games are on that voucher) botw is my absolute favorite game on steam. if you have neither id say theyre both must plays
@@HeadRedShot Okay thanks for the response and I'll maybe get Odyssey first with one voucher and save the other one. Maybe Luigi mansion 3, super mario 3d world or wonder for the 2nd one, but will need to check what game I'd like more (just finished nier automata 3rd ending and that was fun, so trying something new).
I emulate and got even those emulated consoles but I got nso expansion and am really enjoying it it’s convenient to play botw 2 then switch to some Mario golf 64 then some gba games all in my switch is awesome but the biggest problem is you don’t own them but so is Netflix and every other subscription it doesn’t justify it but if you’re fine with that it could be worth it . I also think you gotta be like a big Nintendo fan since it’s really older games you’ll be playing older games compared to plus where they throw in new games
I just purchased the family expansion for my kids, will they be able to share purchased games as well?
He keeps bringing up the price compared to Xbox and Sony, what he neglects is that NSO+ is only $10 cheaper and Xbox gives you free MODERN games and an actually good multiplayer experience. If NSO+ was $20 cheaper you would have a good service but as of this comment the value to cost ratio is not there. N64 is cool but just not worth an extra $30 to the regular subscription.
Hey! Thanks for the breakdown; quick question!
If my wife and I want to play the SNES/N64 Mario Kart games against each other locally on one switch, can we do that with the individual plan?
Hi just got it. Want Mario Kart. What sub and what should I buy to play with others online ? Thanks a lot and Merry Xmas ciao
Just bought a switch and I think the price is pretty reasonable. I haven't even hooked it up yet as its an xmas present for the kids but still. I'm primarily a PS5 player and PS plus is just straight trash, and they even give you the option to pay more (lots more) for even more trash. Either way I got a black Friday bundle where I get 3 months free so no harm no foul.
Quest 2 gave more things withing device alone plus free and better online play as well as way more free apps than Switch would ever give you no matter how much money they earned. I owned both and Quest 2 is hands down the best experuence I have in my 30 years of gaming. Nintendo loss track of what makes gaming enjoyable
I'm PS5 gamer but got Switch about 6 months ago and I spend more time playing Switch now than PS5, I only have Zelda Breath of the Wild but I play SNES games alot so Donkey Kong Country, Mario All Stars etc its cool playing these classic games especially if like me u get disillusioned with modern gaming at times.
I bought a switch yesterday and got mario rpg which is excellent! I bought 3 months of online services but didnt notice the expansion pack! I was hyped to play super mario 64, zelda ocarina of time and so sega genesis stuff! Im enjoying the nes, snes and gameboy stuff but guess Im gonna upgrade again for the other content! I wish they had a deal to get a snes classic id jump on it! I have the nes mini which is awesome and play alot which if they made it connect to the net to buy more rom packs that would be off the hook!
green is amazing !! also im thinking of buying switch online expansion pack. seems worth it
Custom button mapping would help. I wanted to jump into Ocarina of Time, but its stupid how they handle the button mapping and screws me in game play. My kids love it. I'm a bit pissy about it.
Nintendo needs to improve the N64 emulation with widescreen, 60 fps, button mapping and support for higher resolutions.
I would like that controller sir! I’ll even pay shipping! 😂
I share with 8 friends. We pay $10 so its so worth it. But its also worth the 50 bucks. A lot of great games
Very important people understand being added to family plan, only the owner has full rights and permissions to change your account etc.
If we do the family membership with the expansion pack can more than 1 player play on one device. Or will each player have to have a membership?
Im not sure about that myself...would someone with more info please respond?
what kind of question is that lmfao? but I'll answer, I've got a family membership with the expansion pack and everyone in the family can play on their own, like they have individual memberships
idk why that is even a question it wouldn't make sense
My question is .. are the extra mario kart tracks available when your offline.?
Yes, you download them. So if you have a bad connection or live in Montana or some poverty situation yes u cna
You can also buy them separately without online.
How do you get people to pay on the family membership with you? Are there separate billing options? What if someone doesn't pay the 2nd year? Can you remove them?
the admin can invite other people via their email or Nintendo account and accept with a friend code, the admin can give them the right to invite other people and, as far as I know, the admin is the one who buys the membership for everyone, so the other members should transfer you the money, take this with a big spoon of salt but that is the only information I have found, so, if you trust someone, get them in, if you don't trust and they don't pay, the admin can remove them cause they're not doing their part
Question ❓❓ if I buy the expansion pack this year and don't renew, will the animal crossing expansion go away? Am I renting it or do I own it? Do I have to keep paying for expansion to use it??
I am still confused you only explained the expansion pack. Can you still play N64 games without the expansion pack or do you need it to play old games.
Does the expansion pack give you the dlc plus the original Mario cart 8 or is it just an add on and I need to buy the full game.
You still need to buy the game first. You get the extras with the online expansion pack
Just curious, do you get all of those expansion packs with nintendo online or do you have to choose 1?
There's the normal online, 20 dollars. Then there's online + expasion pack, all the emulators and Dlc's which came with it. Obviusly more expensive
Do you keep the dlcs like Mario kart if the expansion pack expires?
No
Okay big question. Didn’t the N64 games originally come with the Nintendo online regular cost, and just recently they changed the expansion pack to another service that costs more.
No that’s incorrect.
I'd of gotten it when it first came out if it came with every N64 game instead of releasing it slowly like the NES/SNES games.
Nintendo needs to make some adult based games Mario kart and stuff is just not enough to pay $50 and another thing they should put out a list of games for each expansion because without a list we're literally buying blind.
seriously though, where is donkey kong 64, banjo tooie, Glover and Gex ? i bought n64 expansion and cant play what i want. not to mention the gameboy pokemon games.. i want to use my own pokemon on stadium..
Yeah some big standouts missing but they add stuff pretty regularly so hopefully starting 2024 we see some of that stuff
Was about to buy the switch oled but had to fix my car so yea sucks
As someone who doesn’t have home internet this service should have alternative ways to play the classic games. Virtual Console was way better.
They should had NEVER gotten rid of it. VC worked this online does NOT
In fairness, the access to the classic games continues even when the membership expires if you're not connected to the internet.
I'm not sure what the cutoff is, but at this point I've had a week of access for free, though I'm certain that it shall lock me out soon. XD
It costs to much mine expired and unless i can get people to pay into it im not getting it
wish you had time stamps
Bro, they need that Star Wars game for the N64 😎
Im still over about Nintendo buying Sega, what a power move.
Do I have to buy the basic games to use dlc mario cart, splatoon?
Yes
I think it is, but it's not something I'd subscribe to every year since I already have enough games for the Switch, GBC/GBA, and DS/3DS. If they add all the Zelda games, I might consider subscribing again.
Bro what are you talking about? They already have all the good Zelda games from those consoles on the service. Anyways, what do you mean with "all", like the Zelda CD-i ones?
Do you think we’ll get gta on gba?
Never ever ever ever put someone on the internet on something that involves your bank info.
I thought it was Pac-Man going away
They aren’t adding anything to it anymore… 😢
Should put the title as 2024 😉
The expansion pack is $50 a Year?
Unfortunately people use the family plan to scam other people. Probably getting the individual plan, since Im the only person who I know that owns a switch.
Oh wait how do family plans scam other people ? Also yeah it sucks. My friend has a family plan on an expansion pack, but all her friends are already filling in the slots and I asked pretty late.
@IsraelLlerena "hey let's do the family plan I've already got 6 other people chipping in"
"OK here's my $10 let's do it"
"......."
"Hello?... are you there?.... I've been scammed for $10..."
Yo, anyone tryna do the family plan?
Yes
what everyone wants to know. EVERYONE GETA A N64 MARIO GAMES
as a person that kinda wanted to play like bassmasters isn't like 40% of that not really nintendo........ are they juking the stick or is that not the only game you thought of.. o and for the nintendo 64 games i guess a new metroid or something ... maybe an actuall n 64 for owning a couple millionares.... or something i mean its just money but if i had to pay 70 bucks and couldn't just rent what i wanted i might of been mad enough to talk about the stock of nintendo as a company that had to make games last forever then .. i dunno go up squaresoft/s butt to do it... im pretty shure japanese don't like this....
Definitely not worth it unless you do the 10 dollar family plan. You can get all these games by other means for cheap
I'll tell you why it's not worth it, because Nintendo sold rare, which had conquers bad for a day, plus donkey Kong 64, also there's no smash brothers with the expansion, and there's no pokémon game boy color games, Nintendo really has dropped the ball
i have it and i love it
Same 👊🏻
“Is it even worth it?” Obviously, how are you going to play online without it?💀
Do you lose the Mario kart extras after a year?
Yes you do, the game updates to tell it to remove the dlc content from your switch.
You will lose access to the Mario Kart DLC if you chose to not renew your Expansion Pack subscription after a year. If you renew, you keep it.
If you don't renew yes. But you can also buy the Booster Course DLC and have access to it without NSO.
I'd say for me it's not as none of the games personally seem to interest me
Except you dont actually own the digital games. Keep physical games alive!
What games though
Can I have a controller please?
Sorry but life isn’t free
@@Cyanxddd it was a joke...
Also, I still think 50 dollars is too expensive... It's worth 50 dollars yes, but if ya calculate that out... It's costly.
Isn’t it $50 a year?
@@umbreonix it's technically 49.99 (used to be 59.99) a year... But calculate it by the years ... That's 100 dollars per 2 years! That's a lot.
@@gamedestroyer112 still cheaper than Xbox live lol
@@gamedestroyer112 if you calculate it out it’s $4.17 per month
playstation plus essential gives nothing, and cost 80$ a year, how this is expensive?
I just want snowboard kids and mystical ninja!
2:20 You don't need game pass to play online games, that was xbox live gold and they just did away with it.
As someone who paid for xbl gold for years, paid online is always too expensive. Especially if it just doesn't work half the time like Nintendo's.
if you are an RPG fan then the answer is a clear "NO" They have very few RPGS and NOT EVEN THE BEST ONES. No AAA hitters and series that most people have forgotten by now. If you are an RPG fan just buy them from the E-Shop and forget Nintendo JOKE online exists. I have from the start it launched. It was crap then crap now and always will be CRAP and I dont need to be a mystical seer to know Nintendo would FK THIS UP
Never was, emulators do a better job for free.
For someone not tech savvy it's a decent alternative.
@@Mr.scooter-le8yo Emulators are so easy to run now I was able to show my 78 year old mother how to set one up for my sister's kid when he visits her. You don't need to be teach savvy just have functioning head meat.
@@TheGamerGuy1981 idk the people I know don't even know how to order online or make an account for Facebook and I have to do it for them.
@@Mr.scooter-le8yoIf they know how to use a switch and can't do that? That's really odd. I mean no disrespect at all but it's no harder using the eshop than it is downloading an emulator and roms these days truly. If they can't even setup a Facebook account that sounds like a different issue rather than not being tech savvy.
Happy Thanksgiving
@@TheGamerGuy1981 the eShop is a one time purchase and after that it's just a few button presses away from playing, but with non-official emulators they tend to have a habit of something going wrong.
And not only old people struggle to understand technology even younger people struggle with that too. But maybe in America it's different because people use computers more often or something like that, at least where I live we are more traditional in how we do things.
this console is utter disappointment. going to return this crap first thing in the morning.
man this guy repeats himself
So much bla bla bla. In beginning of the video. Get to it
Never was worth it
ffs get to the point
You'll own nothing.
why play old shitty games in 2023. Put more dlc in the service.
How do i find a nso family plan spot on discord? I’m a bit lost…
Join my discord. There are literally people in there talking about it right now! 😊
@@DripMediaGamingthanks, found it
