Customers are saying

Customers commend Nintendo Switch Online's online play, which they find essential for playing games like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart online. They also appreciate the value for the price, as the membership includes access to a library of classic NES and SNES games, making it a great deal compared to other online services. Additionally, customers praise the fast delivery of the membership code via email, allowing them to start playing online immediately. However, some customers express disappointment with the limited features offered beyond online play and cloud saves.

    Code was available after only a few minutes and worked flawlessly. I haven't noticed any significant lag playing online including Smash Bros Ultimate. Also, Nintendo Switch Online includes access to a library of older NES games that keeps on growing. I recommend this overpaying month by month

    Switch Online is not as polished as Xbox Live or Playstation Network, but it is also 1/3 of the price of either of them. It's a necessity to play most games online on Switch, so while annoying to have to start paying, it is still a great value.

    My daughter and her boyfriend both have animal crossing. Some nights when there is nothing on tv we will all go to each others islands on animal crossing especially if there are shooting stars. Only possible with membership which is very reasonably priced.

    Switch Online is a great value just for the games you get included on emulation. Instead of paying for each game, you get a rotating selection of classic games for twenty bucks a year. Add in the online play features and I'm happy to be a subscriber.

    Couldn't beat the cost of 12 months of an online service for $20. This is a great value and necessary for the switch if you wish to get access to all the online fun games offer.

    Great price to be able to play with friends online! I am finally able to play MarioKart with my friends without having to be in the same room! Great purchase for anyone who has a switch and wants to play with friends wherever they are located!

    Subtracted a star because I realized afterwards that I didn’t need it. If you play games near by each other like the same household you don’t need this. If you want to play with a a friend down the street or something THEN you’d need this. I think the price is fair, I’m happy they aren’t gouging people to play online with each other. I like that Nintendo gives you the option.

    Nintendo throws in a lot of perks, like freebies with their classic NES games, to make up for the paid aspect. Without a subscription, you can't play online, which seems to be the model most platforms follow these days. Overall, the experience is great!

    The card gives a year membership to Nintendo online basic. Gives online saves, access to game trials and other goodies. The premium (whatever you call it will give you access to some more games and such) is extra but I haven't tried that yet. This is good enough for me. When you buy it online it sends a code to your email..and then you enter it on your switch or nintendo online Easy enough

    This is a must for those who own a switch. With this little thing, you get to connect and play games with friends and family online. It's also great that it's digital and ready to use immediately.

    20 dollars for a year, to play switch online multiplayer and a bunch of NES classics and cloud saves, is a pretty decent deal. Nintendo switch online is still fairly new, so I’m sure they will add to it as time goes on. - got two of these btw. One for me. One for the lil guy.

    idk why nintendo decided to add a membership when it was free before, but atleast the price isn't so bad. if you have friends that are willing to split the cost, I think getting the family membership is cheaper to get

    With rising prices for Playstation Plus I'm absolutely surprised Nintendo Online is still the same price.
