really promoted as a social device.

1-2-Switch got a shaving and shake-the-bottle party game.

WUT? maybe 1-2-Switch is going to be the perfect drinking game.

not surprise lar, Nintendo wants Switch owners to bring it out to show off the device. doing so itself is free advertisement liao.

That's an estimated range or does that mean there are 2 tiers of subscription, one at 2k one at 3k?

Either way, too expensive. The competitors give free games each month (PS+ 6 per month, Xbox Live Gold around 4) and after you claim the free games you can continue to play them for as long as you remain a member. Nintendo will give free games too but only 1 each month and you can only play it during that one month. For that you pay 3000 yen (PS+ is 5143 yen in Japan)?

Sure, there are lots of indie games that some players wont even care, but there are tons of great games too. If you think all PS+ and XboxLive free games are just crap that no one will ever play then I guess you are exactly the type of captive audience Nintendo has.

You think what free games Nintendo will give you - Zelda BotW? Surely some old back catalog stuff too. Even if they give good game, doesnt mean everyone is so free to complete them during that month. And some games like Splatoon, Mario Party no such thing 'complete' one, so basically it's time trial for a month then want you to buy full game.

PS+ gave out rocket league, RE Remaster, Transformers among others.......

Also, this month getting Little Big Planet 3..

in other news, Nintendo will give you balloon fight and you can only play for a month....you think they will ever give you play link to the past or Super Metroid? Boy....when will you nintendo fanboys ever wake up.

Nintendo cost half so i guess their network service is also half as stable i guess going by your math.
