You could say the reception was tepid

So a few weeks agowe pointed out how the Switch Online YouTube Expansion Pack trailer had reached 57,000 dislikes, and was rising by the day. Well,as VGC highlights, it’s actually over 100,000 dislikes, and grew to 120,000 at the time of publication. That means it actually surpassedtheMetroid Prime Federation Forcetrailer, which had one of the worst receptions in recent years, and grew to 97,000 dislikes. It’s now the second-most disliked video next to the Switch Online YouTube trailer.

As more and more people actually try the service out (or see first-hand accounts online), the dislikes grew over time, and the launch actually made things worse. As it turns out, the Expansion Pack serviceactually has a host of problems.

It’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t expect Nintendo to directly respond to this, or actively make the service better under any sort of urgent timetable. We’ll get some drip-fed games as always, and that’ll be that. The real test will be if Nintendo eventually makes this “Expansion Pack” the standard subscription, and raises the prices all-around in the years to come.
