Switch Online service unveiled
Posted 08 May 2018 at 01:44 by Sam C Gittins
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.
