Switch Online service unveiled

Nintendo have updated their online page with details of what a subscription gets you:

  • Cloud saves confirmed for subscribers.
  • Free 20 NES games with added online play for subscribers.
  • From May 15th Nintendo will introduce a Familiy system that will allow to link up to Nintendo Accounts
  • You can buy a subscription for an individual account or for a Familiy (more expensive but a better deal)
  • You can link your account to multiple Switches and don't need to subscribe multiple times
  • The previously announced price of $20 yearly is for individual users. Other accounts on your Switch won't be able to use online services.
  • if you want to share your subscription with other accounts (either on your console or another one) you can buy a family plan for $35 yearly.

10 of the 20 NES games are as follows:

  • Soccer
  • Tennis
  • Donkey Kong™
  • Mario Bros.™
  • Super Mario Bros.™
  • Balloon Fight™
  • Ice Climber™
  • Dr. Mario™
  • The Legend of Zelda™
  • Super Mario Bros.™ 3

So there we have it, you can check out all the details here for yourself.
