Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@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.

I'm guessing this wouldn't work for getting the AC DLC though. Seriously doubt 8 ppl in a plan would each permanently get $25 DLC to keep.

So I'll probably just pay the extra $30 for one year to get the DLC, since it's only an extra $5 for the plan at that point anyways. And then next October when it expires, I'll join you guys.

Unless joining works cross region and allows everyone in the plan permanent ownership of the AC DLC.

We don’t know how does the dlc aspect work in the long run. But the family plan should provide the same experience for everyone in it as would 8 individual plans.

@1UP_MARIO
"Gets to buy"

What do you mean by that? Are you referring to MyNintendo specials like the controllers and stuff? If so that's fine, since I already ordered the N64 and Genesis controllers (though there may be stuff in the future, who can say).

That I’m not sure, since Mexico doesn’t get those physical item offers at all.
