I think you need to be on line in order to play.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most games can be played without having the Online Membership. Some of the multiplayer games are better with it, EX: Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, ect. Some, like Pokemon Sword/Shield or Mario Maker 2, lose certain functions that require being "online", but the main story is still playable.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are LOTS of games for the switch that can be played without being online.
