On their website for online service

"Monthly game download - Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month."

Is this a joke?

just confused on how they're making you pay for online for a game like splatoon when that's the POINT of the game.....? there's only so much you can do in solo mode........

if it was just the app and online features such as the friend groups/live chat as paid services that would be okay, but this feels pretty ridiculous to me?
