Q: QuestionDoes the family membership include any games?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNintendo has several NES and SNES games free with Switch Online as long as you have an active subscription. That is all you get.Answered by ShadowFalls
- A: AnswerWhen I bought it this way, it comes as a long code with instructions to redeem in an email separate from the order (doesn't show the price). So I guess you could forward the email, or you can write down the code in a physical card and give that. However, I got this for myself, so there may be "gift options" during checkout to have the email sent to an email address other than the one the order was done on, that might be better.
