Egregious pricing. I did want to buy this until I found out it was more than double the cost. Yeah, no. Maybe I'll bite later if they add more systems, but as is it's a total ripoff.

Same.
I hope that they don't do that either... since not everyone can afford or can justify the extra cost.
If I only had that option.
Yep. And there's probably a lot of people who are just out of luck.
I'm definitely sticking with the plan I have. No matter how much Nintendo tries to get me to upgrade. It's not gonna happen.
Exactly. It's not worth it... unless it was on sale at a very good price. Can't justify the absolutely greedy pricing.

Easygoing Luxray.
I'll only consider buying the pass but only after the library becomes really hefty...which...may take a while because the additions take a lot of time and they're about 3 or so games.

According to Emily Rogers, Sega is to blame for the increase in price, because they wanted to be paid a little extra since the Wii Virtual Console had, in her words, low sales, revenue split and lack of marketing. Which is also apparently why we didn't get Genesis games on Wii U VC.

I thinking of doing the same. The starting line up for the N64 only has one game I’m interested in which is Yoshi Story as I already have Ocarina on the 3DS and Mario 64 on the DS and 3D All Stars collection. Once Kirby 64, Paper Mario, Banjo Kazooie, and Pokémon Snap are released to the service then I will buy the Pass if I have the money. I currently am finishing paying for my preorder of the BDSP Dual pack and saving any eShop gift cards I get for Christmas for Legends digitally which should be at least $50 as my sister gives me one every year. The Genesis service I am not that interested in as I already have most of those games in the Genesis collection for the Switch which has almost every Genesis game I want to p,ay aside from the linked Knuckles in Sonic 2 and 3 which is fine as I have the Sonic Genesis collection on the DS for those versions.
Advanced Wars has been delayed. 2022 is going to have so many games, but it’s not like this year wasn’t packed either

They announced a new Big Brain Academy game for the same month. They obviously didn't want one game to overshadow the other.
Well that's a bad joke. Not paying into it. If the $20 tier remains, I'm staying with it. Unless there's a very good sale, I'm not considering moving up to the new one.
If Wii games and Gamecube games were included I would buy the pass because my library for those two platforms is lacking. I already have a giant library of N64/Sega games that I can play right now.

I bought the Expansion Pack and tried both of the new Classic Game Selection apps in portable mode. Played Super Mario 64 up to getting the first Power Star from King Bob-omb, and I played a bit of Emerald Hill and the first special stage in Sonic 2. Both were really good conversions. Gonna try Mario Kart 64 and Mean Bean Machine tomorrow, and if I have time, I'll also do Star Fox 64, Yoshi's Story, Mario Tennis and Dr. Mario 64.
I'm grateful that they have both tiers available. Staying with what I have for now though.
Yea but it didn't hurt to double check it tho.

I’m glad that they included a discount if you already have a subscription. I bought a basic individual year at the beginning of the month.

I ended up paying the $30 for the expansion pass, plus a little over $6 for an extra month.

Lucky. Mine is around $4 over what I'd pay. Yours... would be the level that I'd prefer tbh.
Yikes. So the closer to expiration... the smaller the discount? Way to go... Nintendo! (Not...) Buying another year so soon... even at a lower price, might not be an option for some people.
