• A:Answer If your cell phone has a connection to the internet, you can use it to create a hot spot or network that your child can connect to. It should work but only as well as the connection your phone has to the internet.

Q: Questioni am buy 2 switch systems each with their own accounts. i will have to buy in stages for christmas presents when i buy an online accout in a week will the online account have to be activated immediately or will it start in dec when the kids open it

Asked 7 years ago by jeh.

• A:Answer I would say that if you register your Switches during the night of Christmas and then wrap them up for the morning, then the account will be active until next Christmas. The other alternative is to buy the cards and then apply the code after the presents are opened and just doing the normal setup process.

Q: Questiondoes this membership has games or do I have to buy the games ?

Asked 5 years ago by Migue.

• A:Answer The mongers hip comes with games from the past included. Like the original Mario games. You can download these for free with the membership. There are a lot of them, and it seems to be worth the money. I have 5 already downloaded. Since the games are on average $40-$60ea you definitely get a major deal.
