During the latest Nintendo Direct broadcast, the Japanese company dropped a bombshell - with the reveal of a Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) expansion pack for the Switch Online service.
Man, I don’t know if it was just me but I was really let down by that trailer. The beginning didn’t even look like a Bayonetta game. It also looks like they heavily toned down the innuendo, which I always loved the “cheekiness” of the games.
I hope I’m wrong, but man… after the 2017 teaser and how the trailers for Bayonetta 1 and 2 were this just let me down.
Bayonetta sounded very different too. It looks like a younger Bayo somehow. The first trailer, and the logo, tells me theres some split dimension stuff going on. This could be an alternate Bayo that teams up with the one we know
Doubt the price will be more than $30 for an entire year. Nintendo will no doubt be adding more N64 games over time. I am in. I am not going to whine about, what adds up to be $2.50 per month.
Nintendo could just add the N64 games to the eshop and charge $9.99 each. Fans would buy them. This is much cheaper for consumers.
I get the reason why people would find this enticing, but to me it's just coming off as unnecessary honestly even if it's a $10 upgrade (let's hope it's not any more).
I'm just glad it's an optional thing since I'm not a fan of emulation to begin with (let alone Nintendo's solution), and I don't want online to be more expensive just for the sake of adding more platforms to drip feed roms into.
I'd rather them add them to the eshop, 5 games I'm interested in going off your £9.99 price point would be £50 and I own all 5 of them. Or £60 over 2 years and not own them?
I disagree that paying $9.99 for the specific games I care about isn't cheaper than paying perpetually for a subscription service filled with games I won't play and am not interested in.
All the roms of 8-bit systems like the Master System or NES, or 16-bit systems like the Genesis or SNES, I know, I have quite a few myself, albeit not the whole rom sets, but every single rom means you have also the complete Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, Saturn, Dreamcast catalogs of games? Do you have a couple PetaBytes HDD or what? lol
On topic, coming up with an offer like that in this day and age, when everyone and their dog can own all the N64 or Genesis games on their PC for free, without having to wait for Nintendo to drip-feed a couple games every 6 months so gamers can borrow them and play them for a little while, and thinking it will justify the price, let alone the price hike of a poorly-conceived, sorry excuse for an online service is indeed laughable. I'm curious to see the figures of the Switch online subscriptions. Nintendo must get a grip and do a reality-check, seriously.
Damn, we asked for N64 and got that and Genesis games!! I will gladly pay $30-$40 a year for this!
Good job and great show today.. Act Raiser:Remastered! Bayo:3 looked amazing 3D Kirby! Shadowrun trilogy! Kotor! Project Triangle! Castlevania collection! MH:Rise expansion Splatoon 3! Metroid:dread! Animal Expansion! And other nice nuggets.
Dying Light: Platinum Edition was my highlight next to Bayonetta 3. I was disappointed that they didn't show Alan Wake Remastered since it was leaked a few days ago.
Bayonetta 3 looked impressive
They really just casually revealed Banjo-Kazooie coming to the service
Dumb as hell to charge more for this.
Kinda worried what the price is gonna be for the new service.
