Good Value
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.If you own a nintendo swith or lite, this is a must. The free games alone are worth the purchase. Nintendo Online isn't the greatest to be honest, but it's okay, could be better.

Must have to enjoy classic library and cross play.
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Purchased this as a combo with my SD Cards. The family online membership is so great, adding the classic NES, SNES and now N64 library to gameplay. I love the ability to share Mario creator levels with friends and family.

Family Fun
||Posted .This membership is great if you have two or more people in your family--it's more cost-effective than the single membership. Grants access to Nintendo online services with online saves and retro game library access.

Turn off auto renew
||Posted .Owned for 7 months when reviewed.I got this for my boys and it came with a promotion for an sd card. I turned off auto renew on Nintendo and I don’t have to worry about an unexpected cost of renewal. If I choose to renew I would buy another card.

Great Family Value
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Only way to do cloud saving on Switch. Online game matches can be hit or miss, but more casual titles like Animal Crossing work fine for island visits.

||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Yep its a gift card. How much more can i say. It doesn’t talk or think so we get along.

Best Service Deal Out There
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Nintendo has slowly been upgrading their infrastructure. At less than 3$ a month, it gives MS/PS a run for their money. Many games still use P2P (which is a little lame), but many new titles are getting dedicated servers now

Answered by ShadowFalls
Q: QuestionI want to buy this for a Christmas present, can I buy it with my email and account? And what can I give as the gift?
Asked by Jilliebean.
- A:Answer When 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.
Answered by Layne
