Nintendo Switch en línea + Expansion Pack Pricing:

Nintendo Switch en línea + Consola de sistema de tableta Nintendo Switch de 32 GB con Joycon rojo y azul HAC [New Customers]

  • 12 months single user – $49.99 / 39,99€ / 34,99 £
  • 12 months family pass – $79.99DÓLAR ESTADOUNIDENSE / 69,99€ / Viajero octopata

Those upgrading from a current standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription get a “pro rated discount depending on the number of days remaining in your current membership”.

When you break down the pricing for a new customer, by simply discounting the standard NSO subscription from the Expansion Pack bundle, la 12 month price of the expansion content comes out at $30DÓLAR ESTADOUNIDENSE / €20 / £17 for a single user, y $45DÓLAR ESTADOUNIDENSE / €35 / £28.50 for the family pass (hasta 8 users).

Para referencia, the Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise DLC costs $24.99USD standalone, so for keen players of the game that arguably makes the Expansion Pack rather appealing when you add the N64 and Mega Drive / juegos de génesis into the mix. Sin embargo, similar to services like PlayStation Plus, it seems you will lose access to the DLC if you end your subscription.

It’s also fair to say that for those only interesting in the retro game library who don’t play Animal Crossing: New Horizons or don’t want that DLC expansion, it may be a tougher sell at those prices. Perhaps Nintendo will bolster the offering over time with added incentives, but that remains to be seen.

In any case, that’s the breakdown, so what do you think? Is this a good deal, and will you be picking up the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack offering? Let us know in the polls and comments below.
