Pricing … fail

Yeah the pricing is something which seems like a failure from our end. Let’s get into it;

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack [New Customers]

  • 12 months single user – $49.99 / €39,99 / £34.99
  • 12 months family pass (up to 8 users) – $79.99USD / €69,99 / £59.99

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

But the pricing just seems very high for what you are getting in return. Don’t get us wrong we love the expansion pass but this is steep especially for single users.

It only seems kinda ok if you look at a family pass as the price for each member then comes down to $9.99USD / €8,75 / £7.50. Which sounds right for what Nintendo is offering. Sure a small overhead for single use would be okay but the current single user pricing simply is a bad decision.

Will you be looking into the Expansion pass?
