Reposting to a new thread since the other thread is probably going down soon:
Everyone agrees that free is good. Some people don't mind paying, some people do. But let's say Nintendo set up two methods of online play:
1. Free online play, P2P, maybe/maybe not voice chat
2. Paid "Premium/Pro" subscription ($20-30/year for one person)
What would have to be a part of the paid option for you to choose that? Guaranteed dedicated servers? Voice chat? Virtual Console/expanding Netflix-style classic gaming? Special in-game options/customization? Offers/deals?
Furthermore, what would NSO need to bring to Smash to make you interested in paying Premium, or paying for the current NSO deal as-is at all?
