Do consolefags really have to pay for the right to use their own wifi?
>>
>>729920727
Dude what do you mean? It literally tells you what you get. Do you like the games it offers? Yes? then it's worth it. No? Then it's not worth it? Are the retards on this site THIS retarded?
>>729920854
>There's no subscriptions on PC
You're just as retarded
>>
Eh, not really. You're just paying 50 bucks a year on the off chance you'll want to play an N64 or GameCube game in that time. I remain subbed out of complacency but have often thought about going back to the regular sub.

The DLC isn't worth it and doesn't even factor into my valuation of the subscription. I find the idea of downloadable content tied to a subscription more repulsive than a subscription for retro games, at least the latter doesn't require the purchase of additional software to be of use.

The expansion pack is worse, you're paying $20 for your own wifi AND an extra $30 for a tiny selection of emulators/roms you can get free anywhere on the internet
>>
If you're paying with 7 other bros like I do, yes, its cheap as fuck

I don't trust 7 people enough to not be retarded with their accounts.

Are you new to the PC Master Race movement? We don’t just claim that online is free, we believe that ALL Switch games are free. Am I right my fellow PC gamer? That’s right, you can play all Switch games on the Steam Deck for FREE. Based Lord GabeN (praise be upon him)! May your frames be high and your temperatures low!

>>729920727
Not at all. You are paying for roms you can't use shaders on, backup the saves of, use romhacks on, use other controllers on, or have access to RetroAchievements on. On the modern side of things you are getting like a handful of DLC at best that you could have paid for with the same upgrade anyway.
>>
>>729922010
Oh yeah, and the official emulators in general tend to have far more issues than the public emulators out right now that they have to manually patch out like with OoT as a basic example.
>>
>>729920727
>oops sorry you can’t buy our roms anymore or transfer your purchases from the Wii / Wii U, but you can rent them from us XD
Absolutely not. Fuck shitendo
>>
>>729922010
>or have access to RetroAchievements
Compulsive achievementfags deserve the rope. Imagine needing a sticker and timestamp for your profile like anyone else gives a shit. The only thing that gives achievements what little credibility they have is the fact that they're "official." A third party achievement list is meaningless.

>Transfer your Wii games to Wii U
>Need to pay an upgrade fee for each game to run them in the updated Wii U emulator
>Also buy them separately for the 3DS
A subscription is infinitely better than this, I'm sorry.
>>
the base nso for online and some basic roms is fine for $20. the $50 one isn't worth it unless you REALLY want to play certain n64 or gamecube games and have no other way to play them. like you can probably pick up a wii and hack it and then play gamecube games for not much more.
>>
>>729922320
Whether or not you care about it is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is that you don't have access to it at all as an option. Official emulation is plagued with issues, downsides, and negatives that aren't present in unofficial emulation, and you're not forced into a small list of games on top of it just because that's all they could (or cared to) get the licenses for.
>>
>>729920727
Most of my game time on my switch is on the emulators. Yes, you can download them on pc but the multiplayer is really good and by far the most stable and simple way to play Mario golf or party with the homies these days

Not having cancer as an option sounds pretty great desu, I like that people don't have the option to ruin old video games with metagame faggotry. I didn't rip on any of your other points because they're valid so you don't need to keep yammering, Tripfag.

>>729920727
Still waiting to see what they add for January 2026, last month they added Rayman, another literal who platformer and Wario World.
>>
>>729920727
If you're buying the online just get into a family plan group or start one. Even just one other person means it's cheaper. Currently paying 10 bucks a year for the expansion pasck
