Yeah, because $4 a month for online service and hundreds of free games to play is a terrible deal. :rolleyes:

"Hundreds", huh? Citation needed. Thankfully, I can provide one: there are 144 games on the service as of this summer.

Now, to address your point: by comparison, Sony charges $5 a month for online service that actually works (yes, I have issues with PSN's quality, too, but it's still in far better shape and is more fully-featured than NSO) and offers 3 games each month that were actually made this decade if they are not completely new altogether. Microsoft charges a similar price for a similar benefit.
Welcome to the big leagues. Nintendo got away with having a historically shitty online service because they only charged either $0 or $20 for the privilege of using it. Now that they want $50 for it, they have to prove it's worth the cost. A handful of N64 and Genesis ROMs most people can get for free and emulate on their potato of a computer these days doesn't cut it. If Nintendo wants people to pay them more money, then they need to make a service worthy of being paid more money.

Has Nintendo confirmed if other paid DLC would be coming to NSO? The video made it sound like Animal Crossing was specifically included in the "+ Expansion Pack".
My biggest issue with that, even if they do include future DLC, is that I don't think Nintendo does nearly enough to DLC to justify the extra $30. I'd imagine Smash Bros would be exempt because of 3rd Party licensing issues, and Pokemon would be exempt because it's Pokemon. That doesn't leave a lot of titles that Nintendo puts out paid DLC for. On Switch, there's been BotW, Luigi's Mansion 3, Splatoon 2, FE Three Houses, and Age of Calamity. I may be forgetting some things but for that money, I wouldn't really feel like I'm getting my money's worth unless there was DLC for a game I was particularly interested in.
