How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Black Friday Bundle

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Bro. I missed out on the Target deal. The twenty dollar deal. Man...I was so sad. But then the homies at Best Buy said...I gotchu. Came out with a banger. Free 128 Nintendo brand micro sd card. Did not regret this purchase at all. If youre about the holiday spirit. Grab some family members and bless their lives with free online for them. If you about the frugal lifestyle, charge them five dollars. That's not me but that's an option I guess.

Nice

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5I got this because it was a better deal than the individual. I had a bit of an issue redeeming it since I had a month left in my individual membership. It didn't tack on to the end of my individual membership so I "lost" a month (It upgraded me to a Family Membership the day I redeemed it). They are supposed to refund you the prorated amount, but that is only if you get it from Nintendo. So I recommend that you wait until close to the end of your membership to redeem. Though Nintendo Customer Service was able to add back that month without any noticeable issues.

Online family fun on Nintendo
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I’ve had a single user Nintendo online membership. I upgraded to the family membership so my kids could play Minecraft with each other. They use their switch lites and connect with each other. In order to do this they both have to have separate Nintendo account, online memberships and they both have to own the game. An individual Nintendo online membership is $20, so this family Nintendo membership is worth it at $35 and you can have up to 8 Nintendo accounts connected to it.

Share with friends/family, play SNES/NES classics
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I purchased this in a deal which bundled it with the Nintendo micro-SDXC card for additional value. Otherwise it's same as any Switch Online family plan. I think Switch online in general can be worthwhile if you have an interest in the online aspects of games or if you want to take advantage of the pretty dang good SNES and NES classics library this gives you access to.

Switch Online Plan
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5My children have been bugging for my switch since the pandemic. It was hard to find but eventually I found them. I have two so I had to get a regular and lite. After getting home, did I find out you need the online membership to play with friends. I got the family pack because kids can't share their online friends.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I love all the included classic games from Nintendo with this subscription! NES and SNES classics bring back so many fond memories of a time when games had great stories and at sometimes challenging gameplay.

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.
