--Suggested Topic: Nintendo Online Expansion Pack Shadow Drop
Nintendo announced their Nintendo Online Expansion Pack during the Animal Crossing Direct.
Felt suspicious going in since the direct was on a Friday (where bad news tend to drop)
Was expecting no more than additional $10 for expansion pass, but it ended up being a 250% increase at additional $30. Even the family plan is more than double.
Only additions are N64/Genesis games, and Animal Crossing DLC
Animal Crossing DLC can be bought separately
N64/Genesis games are very limited. Seeing the NES/SNES releases in original plan, if it's the same the frequency of releases (random, not monthly. No roadmap) is not worth it in my opinion.
Compared to it's competitors (PS+, XBL Gold, Game Pass): No recently release games (all games 20+ years old), no internet speed increase, no voice chat (must use phone app), no game invite, no universal achievement system across all games
