Atleast let you keep it if you're still subbed this is basically a 1month trial for a game nintendo chooses

Don't see it as a big deal, it should be permanent but I'm not about to make a fuss over a $5-8 virtual console game.
It's not a monthly rental service.

How generous.
The fuss is over paying for the online in general. Especially if the value proposition is so preposterously low compared to their competitors.
I mean, it's still one old ass game a month.
Even if they let you keep it, it still doesn't justify the service.
Well, seeing as you don't pay for online now... Yeah, that's basically what it is. You get the privilege of using Nintendo's broken-ass online infrastructure plus a game rental.

I get that but I've been paying for online since 2005, paid for Sony's so I'm not really waving a shame finger at Nintendo.

The only things that carries over is your regret for failing for the same shit twice.

LOL!

People will pay the sub for the online. The free games won't really matter.
Also ps plus and Xbox live give more games but they are hardly ever that good. One good game from the nes/snes library will beat quantity.

So you'll be renting games monthly you probably already purchased on past consoles...
What a shitty company.

Does anyone know hot to contact nintendo?
They really need someone to help them learn how to communicate an idea.
It isn't 'Free'. It's a trial of a game. They need to stop calling it a 'Free' game.
If the online is like half the price of PS+ then I guess a trial game is fine as a nice perk.
If it's the same or more than PS+ then Nintendo performed some truly terrible market research when planning this thing.

Agreed. And I think it was a long while before MS started offering monthly freebies. The monthly games are just a bonus.
There's still a lot we don't know, like monthly pricing. If there's not really any great games worth paying say $50 for, THAT would be a problem, yeah.
Man that justification. Can't wait till the monthly game is street fighter 2010 or silver surfer
That spin.

The paid service seems like a horrible joke in comparison to what we get with PS+ and XLG.
I can't believe some people are defending this service around the net, saying that they would rather have 1 retro NES or SNES game.

Keep that spinning and you'll become a bayblade.
Are you fucking serious? PS+ gives away amazing games. Games that you get to keep after the month is over.
As long as you keep paying. It's a scam on all three systems.
LOL it looks like you over-value the NES/SNES catalog almost as much as Nintendo does.
I mean this could turn into list wars really fast but I'll give it a crack in one word, emulation.

All this is irrelevant until we get a proper Nintendo Account really.

To be fair though it is still a better value as you get to keep the games for as long as you sub. With this you lose all access once the month ends.
The only ones benefiting from this is going to be Microsoft and Sony. This Nintendo online sub us making them look like Santa Claus by comparison.
"Hey, we may be fucking you in the ass, but at least you get 4 games and two of them are for your our new system, and you keep them as long as you pay us to fuck you in the ass"

The first part? Yeah, I agree with that. The sub fee is for the privilege of playing Mario Kart, Pokémon, and Splatoon 2 online. Game trials aren't that important, given what is being offered.
The second part, though? Can't agree with that sentiment. Sorry.

Nintendo is so far out of touch it blows my mind. This is not going to resonate with the mainstream at all, and Nintendo has long since lost the core gaming audience which could float this concept, and that's only if it made a lick of sense in the first place!
Pivot back into sanity I mean
Actually, with GWG it's yours forever, even if you don't resub.
PS Plus services three consoles. That's 6 games a month, many of whuch are cross buy so you mught get 4-5 games on PS4 or Vita one month alone (this month, in fact).
They've given out everything from NBA2k16 half a year after release to Rocket League on launch day.
