Nintendo executive Reggie Fils-Aimé has said that the company accepts criticism of its previous online offerings and will look to address previous missteps with the launch of the Nintendo Switch's subscription service.
The exec also weighed in on the improvements that the Switch brings to the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Sony kicks off PS Plus' 15th anniversary by chatting with Game File about the past, present and future of its gaming subscription service: Talking price, catalogue tweaks and where the PS3 games are.
Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.
When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.
Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.
*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.
Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!
Nice choice. I agree!
Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!
cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is given new life on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Lol. Wonder if we'll see a million switch 2 upgrades like we saw for the PS5 this gen.

Of course Reggie's body isn't ready to adapt to the critisms that consumers are lobbying against Nintendo, unlike how Microsoft bent over backwards trying to fix their mistakes during the months that followed after E3 2013 leading up to the launch of their next console.
Reggie and his company are just becoming like Adam Orth and telling consumers to take all their valid concerns and #DealWithIt.
Are you fucking serious?!??? It's practically a wiimote 1.5! And it's small as fuck gonna be super uncomfortable to use unless your 10 yrs old or have small girly hands
he's taking in past concerns, but are they taking in current concerns? people haven't had the chance to try their online service, the games are temporary, but also and more worrying is it REQUIRED to use a smart device to voice chat and multiplayer? Sure sounds like if you don't have a smartphone, specifically android or iOS, you are out of luck. If you do have to use the app, how do you hear the game audio and voice chat at the same time without disturbing others, hope its not sound in one ear voice in another...?
