1. At E3 Nintendo announces one of the unnamed NES games is Earthbound Beginnings
2. Everybody assumes that means Mother 3 is coming
3. The service remains NES-only, GBA games never come
4. Nintendo fans rise up and storm Kyoto
5. ????
6. Somehow Nintendo profits!
@TheLobster absolutely true. My poor mother was stuck between the kind of daughter she wanted and wanting to not raise me with a gender role bias. So my toy collection was all over the map. (I was more of a bookworm anyway) but my uncles always gave me the ugliest dumbest doll babies that ended in the attic or on the top shelf. I didn’t mind barbies but I never used them to play house. They were super heroes because for a bit in the early 90s it was hard to find cool superheroine toys. The exception being power rangers (thank Iwata for Trini (RIP) of course. Although not having as much else means i have a habit of picking such toys up now. I’m 32 I promise.
Labo for me is imagination on physical display. As a kid with a lot of disparate toys and a big imagination I am stoked to see that celebrated with no restrictions. Plus i had many a cardboard fort. yay baby feminists! I’m sad to say my awareness came later on as i began to get treated differently for my interests and notice the different expectations placed on females vs males.
Doug was my jam growing up. (I like the Disney version too) I am a Disney kid but more for the art and the songs (and Mulan) as the stories were snooze fests for me. I never understood why half of them were about hooking up with somebody you met thirty minutes ago. And it was such a cop out either sticking a cool princess with a loser(aladdin, mulan, pocahontas, princess and the frog- i can go off on a rant about that one) or making some nameless, usually useless prince the end all be all (most of the Disney movies including lion king-yes simba was useless). But I’m biased so there is that. Music was fantastic though. The bells of notre dame in a hi fi system with no neighbors to call the cops on you is one of life’s joys.
@EvilLucario i got a survey about the switch several months back. maybe you just didn’t get picked yet? Who knows how they select folks.
Also f vectron in steamworld dig 2. Really? Really?! My switch isn’t going to survive this and I consider myself a chill woman. Back to naruto.

I'm a Dream Fighter. Perfume is Love, Perfume is Life.
As strange as it may sound I'm actually looking forward to playing Soccer online. It'll be a laugh,utterly ridiculous and unlike FIFA I can actually play against friends.
I would put money on Smashnet being a big feature of the mobile app.Pokémon and Animal Crossing are also guaranteed to have their own channel.
I'm not expecting much to come from the Special Offers , it'll likely be the Switch equivalent of MyNintendo discounts.
I think the NES games included with the sub will be offered separately for purchase to non-subscribers and it's just a matter of time until SNES games with similar online features are part of this.
@OorWullie I actually am expecting a bit more from the discounts. If it's anything like PSN, it'll be like a game that is 40% off to non-subscribers is 60% off to subscribers and that's nothing to sneeze at. Because they'll obviously continue to have sales and they can't possibly gate all sales behind a paywall. But then again I guess it could be things like, "This Arcade Archives game is 30% off!" or even AAA first party titles like BotW or Mario Kart go on sale but I really doubt the latter.
@DarthNocturnal Yeah, it's actually a PSA about not being taken in by fake leaks leading up to E3 because anybody can use Photoshop. Thank you, Dorkly.
@Therad If you get even one other person to sign up with you on the family plan, it's actually a reduced cost. And if you get all eight signed up it works out to the shockingly low price of 41 cents a month. If you can't find that much change in your couch or by being eagle-eyed in a parking lot then yeah, you probably don't deserve the online service anyway.
Eh, no. It cost $20 or $35. You can try and spin it as a lower cost if you want, but that won't be true for the vast majority of gamers and you know it.
So again, where is the added benefit? Why should I have to pay when I connect my switch to another switch?
Welp with this i can get rid of xbox live. Since Capcom is doing the sf collection i can play 3rd strike there. Now I gotta figure out what box my hrap is in. Sigh.

If they had offered the basic cloud saves for free I think the online would be an easier pill to swallow for myself, but then again without that, the online atm would be basically paying 20 for super old games.
Like Nintendo could have offered discounts and special deals on their games (similar to PS) in place of the NES Classica and I would find it far more interesting.
Right now, I have no idea what to think about this. I guess because it doesn't affect me much.
Like in all likelihood, when I try this out, when I finally get a Switch, I'm gonna pay the 20 bucks and get a year of Switch online when I want to at least somewhat focus on online games. And then when I'm done with that, I'm probably gonna not continue for the next year. Not even because 20 bucks is a ton, but because I don't play online enough that I would consistently be playing a ton of online multiplayer 2 years in a row.
I'm inherently against paying for online on top of everything else, but at least the console providers have slowly been going towards providing deals to make up for that. So if Nintendo gives you 20 bucks worth of things you would want, it's fine. I guess.
