Amazon Prime pays for mine, does that count?

Amazon Prime pays for mine, does that count?

How’s that?

The sub is like $20 for a year, that’s too cheap to pass up.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Ridiculous attach rate in such a short amount of time. The low price certainly helps. The service isn't even that good, and I say that as someone who is subscribed since launch.

DKC2 is now online

 

[Tiamat2san]

Oops , I forgot to cancel it When the first year passed.
never used it.

 

[Andodalf]

Got the free year from Amazon and have just let it auto renew

Kirby's dream course is worth it IMO

 

[diffusionx]

Tetris 99 justified the cost immediately imo

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

Could you imagine if their online service was even mediocre?

 

[TheContact]

How’s that?

There was a promo last year with Amazon Prime that they would gift you a year's subscription ($20 value) for free if you have Amazon Prime.

 

[Lupin3]

I only subscribe because of Mario Maker 2. Wish I didn't have to, but the game is pretty much nothing without it. It's all right, though.

 

[JimiNutz]

It's so cheap for the year and has been worth it for Tetris 99 and Mario Kart 8 online alone for me.

I've also had the chance to play SMB1-3 for the first time as I never played those. Now gonna make my way through DKC1&2 and then I've got Super Mario World 1&2 to get through as well.

Oh and Super Mario 35 is coming in a few days time as well.

They should make it much easier to voice chat with friends online though.

Tetris 99 justified the cost immediately imo

Super Mario 35 is coming

forgot about this!

I subscribe for the NES/SNES games. Worth it.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

They should use that money to hire someone competant to fix their online infrastructure so their highest selling game (SSBU) could finally be playable online.

Double Dragon 2 putting in work.
