    Nintendo has finally revealed the pricing and availability date for their Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. This is the more expensive tier of Nintendo Switch Online that will grant subscribers access to N64 and Sega games as well as Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Happy Home Paradise DLC. This DLC can be purchased for $24.99 (USD) on its own if desired.

    That higher cost for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is $49.99 (USD) per year, an increase of $30 per year from the standard membership tier. There is also a family membership plan that grants permission for up to eight Nintendo Account holders going for $79.99. This particular membership plan is an increase of $45 from the standard family plan.

    The full list of N64 and Sega titles that will launch with this new subscription tier was revealed late in September.

    Nintendo plans to release Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on October 25, 2021.

      Considering the Switch is still so expensive and the Nintendo tax on their games, there's zero chance of me wanting to give them even more money.
      I will give them credit for putting Operation Winback on the service for some reason, that game is like cover shooter Dark Souls and the N64 version doesn't emulate well... but you should probably play the PS2 version for the voice acting...

      The original gave my son exposure to classics like Metroid, even though he grew up playing the usuals like Mario and Zelda, so he was excited about the new additions. However this hike is disgusting for so little, and people are quoting the late Satoru Iwata, even though his comments on online fees are almost 20 years old.

      Their reveal video on YouTube sits, at time of writing, on 14k likes and 43k dislikes. That's the sort of ratio that bad CoD games get.
