Now THAT I can do. I wouldn't pay no $60 but $20? To have voice chat in Nintendo games and more games with online, that alone is worth $20 a year

Oh thank goodness. I was worried they were going to embarrass themselves with the price. But for that I'd gladly pay if it means more online functions in more of their games.

3000 yen was the figure I heard, so £20ish
Switch games list,
Legend of Zelda BotW, Human resource machine, NBA Playgrounds, Street Fighter 2, Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, Overcooked, World of Goo.
I thought they were gonna go the $60 route like everyone else, which made the 1 game a month seem egregious, but now understanding it costs far less, it all makes sense. You get less cause you're paying less
Ya I wasn't planning to sub, but for this price I don't mind. It doesn't feel like a major expense now, and I even said last gen I'd pay $20 a year just to have more games with online and voice chat... well here we are

I agree with @JaxonH, I'm not going to loose sleep over €20, especially when (read: if) I'm probably not paying for a full year anyway. It's better than PSN or Xbox Live, but I still don't fully agree with paying for online when it's free on PC. Anyway, if Splatoon 2 is €40 over here, then I might consider subbing for a year, that still equals €60 for that game, and I think Splatoon 1 was definitely worth that price.
Also on the VR thing, remember when last year they said they had no interest in VR? Now it's suddenly being considered. While I don't think the Switch will make for a great VR device, am glad they're at least considering the option, because the entire form factor is great for VR too if the hardware was a little better. Suddenly it's not just a home console and handheld, but also a VR device.
Honestly, I was expecting Nintendo to be the cheaper option but not THAT cheap. That's not a bad price to swallow at all.
Not even halfway through yet and this has already been a pretty awesome day for Switch news. Superbowl ad, online isn't going to break the bank, FAST RMX is running at 1080p/60fps on 4 player splitscreen using HD Rumble, and Sumo Digital devs confirmed they were able to get the Switch version of Snake Pass running in just a week.

Wow - price on the online is INCREDIBLE. If that ends up being 20-30 bucks (HALF of Live or PSN), I'm in.
Also super pumped to see them doing a Super Bowl commercial AND actually choosing the best way to go with it: ZELDA. No crazy, wonky motion controls. Dude is 20ish years old, seems to have his own place - no kids as far as the eye can see.
Finally some sound marketing decisions for the Western audience.
Online price is reasonable though I still think they should offer free VC games for download (not just download for free for a month). I'm expecting a PS+/XBL Gold type membership to be released probably during year 2 once the VC library is built up more.
Shocked they are doing a Super Bowl ad, and even more shocked that the ad doesn't feature 1,2 Switch given the wide range of people that will be watching during that time.
Hopefully, this is a sign that Nintendo is starting to get it regarding marketing in the west. LIVE EVENTS are where the money should be spent. March Madness, NBA playoffs, etc. That's where they should be throwing marketing dollars at in the coming months after the Super Bowl.
Karen is the lady from the 1st Switch trailer who was playing Mario and who went viral what with memes of her being at parties with her Switch etc...@Maxz
@Octane@G0dlike Thank you both. I'm now super clued up on Karen. I know more than I ever thought there was to know about Karen. I could practically do a PhD on Karen.
I'm not sure what to do with my new found knowledge, but... well, it's there. Waiting to be called into action.
Nothing confirmed about the online subscription fee though. All you saying this news is good should keep it to yourselves as Nintendo will likely take such a reception to mean they can charge more and people will still be ok with it.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
