Don't think it's worth it for the extra $40.

Expansion is not permanent, if you give up the subscription you lose access to the island (but you keep your items).

And I don't think the games included are worth the cost.

Nintendo is charging way too much for what they offer right now. Even the yearly sub cost is extremely questionable at $24 bucks (if you don't do a family plan) when PSN is like $40 on sale and gives you way more features and freebies.

What seems stupid currently as well as my nephew had a gift card that I used to activate his account and then I added my account to his “family” account

But now it seems like since he’s the primary account holder I can’t add the expansion without basically paying for a new sub?.. wanted my wife to play Ocarina but not at this price

lilaznviper · 10-27-2021, 10:35 AM

I'm on the family plan so we split the cost among 8 people so its not as bad as if you were on an individual plan

Hondaracer · 10-27-2021, 02:17 PM

Did you have to add it on the primary account then? Even though I’m logged in under the “family” account it seems like I need my nephew to enable it, I have no option as the secondary account

lilaznviper · 10-27-2021, 03:48 PM

yes have to be the account holder.
I think in your case it might be better to let the sub expire then start new on your account as the primary and invite your nephew into the family sub, if you are the one always paying for it.

Also use nintendo gc from costco to save a couple of bucks.

Picked up a digital copy of BOTW to replay.

Ended up being $35 after taxes.

Redeeming it also gave me 400 Nintendo coins, so it's kind of like $31.

i tried using a bt headset last night while playing, while the audio was fine and connected easily, i found my bt controller went laggy, playing FPS definitely had an impact when i want to move left just a little, it moved left a lot

playing diablo was not 'as bad' but i still noticed a difference...

3rd party pro controller...

anyone else noticed this or was it just a bad connection on my end?

Was your switch docked or handheld mode?

If docked where is the switch located?

When my switch was close to my router, it was the router causing interference on the Bluetooth, gave it the social distance treatment and the issue went away.

GLOW · 12-06-2021, 10:58 AM

my router is behind my TV and my switch is docked right on the other side of the tv adjacent to it.

thanks for the tip, maybe i'll move the switch to the other side of the tv stand to put a few feet apart. would be awesome if it helps as it's nice to have sound vs being on mute at night when the kids are asleep

Amazing direct! So many great games on the way. I'm really looking forward to the Mario Kart 8 DLC

Razor Ramon HG · 02-09-2022, 03:46 PM

Quite a bit of stuff. Mario Strikes and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 interest me the most. I might replay Earthbound, but I'm definitely playing Mother 1.

SkinnyPupp · 02-09-2022, 03:54 PM

No Zelda release date? Have to assume it's not coming this year then

Hondaracer · 02-09-2022, 04:11 PM

The stupid expansion pack is so annoying for me because my nephew bought the Costco bundle that has the family pack subscription, but he forgot the email I created for him and the login so I can’t go add the expansion pack.. so now I’ve gotta pay for the whole thing over in order to play OOT.. also want to play mother 1

Earthbound is so good.. can always drop in and play for a bit

Razor Ramon HG · 02-09-2022, 07:43 PM

Probably not worth buying the expansion pack if you wanted to play mostly OOT. Everyone complains about the input lag. Earthbound is on SNES so the basic online will work.

SkinnyPupp · 02-09-2022, 08:04 PM

I guess I should finally try Earthbound considering the reputation it has

BTW Final Fantasy VI on Steam just went on sale, launches in a week or 2

TypeRNammer · 02-09-2022, 08:09 PM

Looking forward to the new Kirby game that's coming out.

And also not surprised that Nintendo is milking the shit out of Mario Kart. By the time the next generation switch comes out, they'll probably rerelease Mario Kart 8 as Mario Kart 8 Super Extra Deluxe Edition

Presto · 02-09-2022, 09:05 PM

Switch Sports looks fantastic. My wife and I have been playing Wii Sports bowling for the past month, and have been wanting something more modern-looking. I really hope there's a cosmic bowling mode!

You guys should try some VR games if you ever want to make the investment.

There's tons on the Quest platform. I got a table tennis and a golf game, they're crazy and immersive.

MarkyMark · 02-10-2022, 01:46 PM

So it's just the same Earthbound game but on Switch? Lol no one knows sell 25+ year old games quite like Nintendo.

I've beat it a few times now so I think I'll skip this round

FF6 is one of my favorite games. I almost bought it, but I'll wait for a Switch release, which will hopefully happen, soon

Razor Ramon HG · 02-10-2022, 02:42 PM

If you guys like JRPGs, you should definitely play Dragon Quest XI. It's on the Switch as well as PC/XBOX with Game Pass.

I beat the main story recently and got the true ending. Probably best traditional JRPG I've played in a while.

Klobbersaurus · 03-24-2022, 12:55 PM

i got 4 spots open on my family plan if anyone wants to join, comes up to about $6.30 a year

TypeRNammer · 03-24-2022, 01:22 PM

Kirby and The Forgotten Land is out tomorrow.

Played the demo version and it's not too bad of a game, great for the casual gamer.

Razor Ramon HG · 04-25-2022, 01:52 AM

Fire Emblem Three Houses is pretty fun. If you liked games like Final Fantasy Tactics, you might like this.

If you like Final Fantasy Tactics you should get Triangle Strategy.

Both FE and TS have multiple endings and worth multiple playthroughs. DQ is definitely fun and you can pre-program characters to fight a particular style, Ni No Kuni using the same auto battle style as well.

I don't know why but I noticed a week ago The Source was selling Switch games for dirt cheap. They might be getting out of the console gaming part of the business?
