Nintendo announces new nes controls, but only for online switch users

Nintendo has revealed the launch of new controllers for the Nintendo Switch inspired by the design of the controller of the classic NES, the first desktop console of the Japanese company. What users will like is knowing that they are only available to subscribers of the recently announced Switch Online service.

The new controllers are based on the classic NES design and cost approximately 50 euros for a two-unit package, so we can take advantage of the benefits of local gaming with one of our friends. To this must be added that the user must pay between 3.99 euros per month or 19.99 euros per year to access the online gaming service, which begins next week.

The new controllers are wireless and can be recharged by connecting them to the console, as is done with all modern consoles. Nintendo Switch Online goes live in its final version on September 19, after which time the owners of the hybrid console will be able to access 20 classic NES games, including Dr. Mario, River City Ransom and The Legend of Zelda.

Nintendo Switch Online is mandatory in order to play these NES games, hence the company's decision to link the possibility of purchasing the controllers to the user having an active subscription to this online gaming service. In any case, the controversy is served.

What do you think of the company's decision to limit the acquisition of these new controllers to the user having an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online? You can leave your opinion in a comment.
