The NSO + Expansion Pack was unveiled during the September 23 Nintendo Direct, but more news about the expansion (the addition of the AC:NH HHP DLC, the pricing information and release date (October 25)) was announced today. What are your thoughts on the expansion pack as a whole? What are your thoughts on the pricing? Are you going to get it right away, wait to get it later on, or not even bother?
I do think the one thing I'm highly interested to see is if we're going to see more DLCs get tied into the expansion pack. I actually kind of like the HHP DLC being tied into the expansion pack in addition to being a standalone purchase, since that basically means you can "rent" it instead of outright buying it, which I feel would actually lead me to play some DLCs for other games that I wouldn't bother with otherwise. That said, the price is a bit of a "yikes" from me. I was hoping for individual memberships it'd just be a $10 USD increase, thought doubling it ($20 USD increase) would be the worst case scenario, but $30 USD or a 150% increase is definitely unexpected. Definitely hurts more in CAD, where it's almost a $40 increase for it. I'm still planning on getting it eventually as more games that interest me come to the N64 service (Majora's Mask and Banjo-Kazooie being the top N64 games for me that we know are coming soon), but it doesn't feel worth it to get it right now. I do think that with more games (both for N64/Genesis and other possible systems/handhelds that could be added to it) and more DLC, it could definitely make it feel worth the current price tag.
