It's terrible to offer the DLC as a subscription and revoke benefits when the subscription ends, instead of just giving it to subscribers outright. Why not let subscribers keep the dlc after a year? They are expecting people to either buy it for $25 to "own" it, or pay a recurring $50 per year to rent it. What if you want to subscribe for N64 for a year, but also want to own the DLC?
Can they just let me pay for a way to play more of the classic games. I wasn't able to buy a nes classic. I'm still trying to buy a snes classic. I don't want to buy these things from scalpers. I want to play these games on the switch. It's not about the money! It's about the waiting!
Why does it seem like Nintendo starts their online services from scratch with each console? It's cool to have 20 NES games with online features added, but nobody's really happy with that right? Sure, if we compare it to early online services from 2002 it might seem somewhat comparable? Are they going to slowly release just a few more NES games each month, maybe get to SNES games in 2019. Maybe we will get something we're all happy with by the time the next Nintendo console launches and then we will have to wait a year for them to start this cycle all over again.
There's still no way to back up saves. We should all hope nothing happens to our switches before September. That 100 hours you put into Zelda just disappears if something happens to your switch. There are lots of people who have had this happen to them. Switches break, some of them ship with defects. My first switch had a faulty fan and overheated. I lost my saves and had to start all my games over again. The problem with the paywall is that there's no other way to save games (like to the SD card!). This shouldn't have taken so long in the first place. Again, all your saves are vulnerable right now. I'd pay now to be able to save to the sd card. I'd buy a proprietary Nintendo SD card if it let me back up my Zelda and Odyssey saves right now, but I can't.

Re: Nintendo Is Adding A New Driver To Its Mobile Game Mario Kart Tour
Thank you for the anti-clickbait headline on this article. Putting “mobile game” up front is the nice thing to do
