Ya, that's fine for the first yr. But after that it's just too much.

However.

A family plan of 4 could negate the cost issue. Perhaps it's time to look into joining a group for a family plan. $80/4 is $20/yr, the same price I'm paying now.

That I can do. But I'm not sure what catches apply when doing a family plan. If I have to entrust my Nintendo Account to someone else, that's a no go. Could join with my bro, but that only takes it down to $40/yr. And he probably wouldn't be interested at that price.

@chapu2006
Yes it keeps them. It's an expansion pass that adds on, not a separate offer in replacement of.

@JaxonH
What is Expansion Pack mean ?
I have suscribed $20 for Normal NSO.
If i have purchased $25 for HHP DLC, do i still have to spend another $30 just for an ACNH Expansion pack too ?

@JaxonH I have a family plan, with other two people. However since it’s Mexican you’d be paying about 24 dollars a month. Instead of just 20. Because Mexico.

I’m not sure if you’d be interested in joining, or how it would work with people from different countries. And of course, if you just renewed your own plan, it would add another layer of complexity.

@Anti-Matter An expansion pack is exactly what it sounds like - it adds more content. NSO's expansion pass includes Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, as well as the New Horizons DLC. Are you interested in the N64 and Genesis/MD games? If not, you're better off with just getting the DLC on its own if you like what said DLC offers.

@MarioLover92
So ACNH DLC from NSO expansion Pack are different thing with HHP DLC $25 ?

@Anti-Matter No, they're literally the same thing.

@MarioLover92
So if i purchased $25 for HHP DLC while at the same time i have already subscribed Normal NSO $20, is that already enough to enjoy ACNH with All contents ?

@Anti-Matter Yes, once you get the DLC separately, you're good.

@MarioLover92
Oh, great. 😀
I wanna visit your island again after you makeover your island with new stuffs after the final update.

@Grumblevolcano I am confused. Is it possible to get the NSO upgrade without Animal Crossing DLC? What happens if someone bought the DLC separate, does that reduce the NSO costs?

@JaxonH Oh good, thanks.

@FragRed No it doesn't. It's still $50 a year. The inflated price comes from licensing costs, not the Animal Crossing DLC. They apparently paid Sega a lot to have Genesis games included because Wii VC didn't do well for them, and then those Genesis games are mostly 3rd party titles.

@IceClimbers I feel they should have just not bothered licensing anything from Sega and focused on their own consoles, other than N64.

Ya, Genesis is already available everywhere. The Genesis Collection (granted it does have input lag which kinda kills the appeal), the M2 Sega Ages releases, the upcoming Sonic 1/2/3/K Collection... I mean, it's appreciated, but not $30 Extra appreciated.

@Eel
What would joining entail? Do I just PayPal you the $24 and you add my email to the list that gets access?

If so, and it works regardless of region, I'll join.

@JaxonH I joined a family plan with someone on here for a year or two, and it was super simple. Just paypal'd them my share, and I was good. Didn't have to give anyone any delicate information.

Of course, whether it'll work cross-region is the real question in this case.

@JaxonH yeah you’d just need to join my family group and then we get organized every time payment comes up. PayPal would work perfectly.

It seems we have another interested person (a local friend), too. Which is good, with 5 people the price goes down to about 19 dollars!

@Eel
Can you find out if it works cross region?

Nintendo might get suspicious of that

@FragRed Agreed. They should have filled in the major missing SNES games (cough Earthbound cough) and then added GB/GBC and GBA games at the minimum.

@JaxonH yes it works across all regions.
Edit.
I think the only con is you won’t be able to get the controllers and only the main family admin member gets to buy.
