I thought I remembered it hitting 2.93m but couldn't find where I saw it. So ya, it's definitely over 3m now.

I'm also confident Metroid Dread will crack 3m. Not sure about 3.31 (not yet anyways), but we'll see.

I'd like to see games such as DKC Tropical Freeze, Metroid Dread, Pikmin 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, etc, break 5 million. They're such great games, and deserve far more attention than they receive.

Then again, I think it's easy to lose sight of just how much 3 million sales for a single release on a single platform is. We're so used to mega-hits crushing 10, even 20 million, that 3 million sounds like child's play by comparison. But it's really not. Especially for titles that don't receive the same budget as realistic humanoid 3D AAA games.

Finally I’m the news bearer this time. Woo! Yeah! Feels good!

In all seriousness, yeah, it confirms that Splatoon and Xenoblade did a straight swap, probably to give the former some polish time.

So Splatoon 3 is filling the September slot. Didn't expect that.

The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 1 & Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water

Unlike Splatoon 2, it's revealed that Splatoon 3 supports cloud saves according to the eshop.

@Grumblevolcano Dang WHAT? Thats huge! Easily one of the most annoying things about Splatoon 2 is it's lack of cloud saves support. Glad they're properly storing the multiplayer stuff server side now.

Lol I bought the Splatoon 2 DLC less than 2 months ago.

I mean, I guess I'll always own it now. Looking at Netflix right now, its not reasonable to assume the NSO family plan will be cheap/still exist forever.

Haven't bought the DLC for BotW, Three Houses, or various other Nintendo games, so of course they include one of the few expansions I DID grab, lol.

NSO + Expansion is one of the greatest deals in gaming, at this point, if you know how to play your cards.

$10/yr is what I'm paying. For

  • online access
  • Cloud saves syncing across systems
  • NES games
  • SNES games
  • N64 games
  • Genesis games
  • Game Trials
  • Multiple $20-30 expansions
  • Custom avatar icons

For $10/yr that's crazy. I don't think any system should charge for online, and I prefer to own the expansions, but even so, the value is irrefutable. And with GB/GBC and GBA rumored to be around the corner as well, and quality games still being regularly added to multiple systems (Earthbound games, Sonic Spinball, Shining Force 2, Paper Mario and Mario Golf, etc), I couldn't be happier.

The Nintendo Online + Expansion on Family Plan is a monster of a deal. In fact, its so good, I'm thinking it won't last forever. It can't. Like @kkslider5552000 said, they'll either raise prices, cut the number of members in a plan down to 4, or restrict members to being within the same household. May not be an immediate concern, but they can't keep this going forever for $10/yr. A single $100 bill would provide all that for a DECADE. And only God knows how many expansions and game trials and VC games would be added in the span of 10 years. All for a single Benjamin.

Then again, forcing players to carpool in family plans likely benefits them as it increases the probability ppl stay subscribed. And they may rather have less total revenue if it means more stable revenue from more subscribers who are staying engaged within the ecosystem.

But, until then, I'm riding it til the wheels fall off.

@JaxonH Are you dividing the cost of NSO EP between yourself and some others because I'm struggling to understand how you're able to pay $10 a year for it when the price is $50.

@Fizza
$80 is the cost of the family plan.

8 people can be on a family plan.

$80 / 8 ppl = $10 per person

And you don't have to be "family", or live in the same house, or the same country, or even the same continent. You can band together with literally anyone- any other 7 people on planet earth, and split the cost 8 ways.

@JaxonH Oh, I understand now. I thought the deal of the century there for a second (though you kind of still are!).

The funny thing is the initial backlash to the Expansion Pack might be a good thing for me. Regular NSO started taking its sweet time for new games because you have to get it if you want to play Nintendo's games online, so Nintendo doesn't have much incentive to improve it. But this Expansion Pack is only sold on the new games and it doesn't seem like most NSO users bought into it so far, so now they have to try a lot harder to sell. Which is only good. May it never go past being moderately successful!

(though to be fair, Nintendo isn't nearly as reliant on investors demanding endlessly increasing profits, so they might keep the good deal as a good deal as long as they make money from it (also I bet someday they'll add new expansions to get more money anyway))

Probably a hot take on my part...but I'm not very hyped for Splatoon 3. It's always looked too similar to its predecessor to me, even down to having both turf war and salmon run modes. I've seen the new gameplay trailer and I still feel the same way. Perhaps I set my expectations too high, or I was just too harsh on it...hopefully a potential Splatoon 3 direct will change my mind. To those who are excited for the game, more power to you.

I literally bought the DLC last year, and I finished it too. Heck, I've bought the Mario Kart and Animal Crossing DLCs on their own as well. Never got the NSO expansion pack.
