Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's always great to be able to save on the cloud and you get to play with others, if that's your thing, as well as playing classing NES and SNES games. For $20, you can't ask for much more.

It’s dirt cheap compared to most other video game console online services, and it unlocks access to a pretty large catalog of retro Nintendo games. The save game cloud also provides peace of mind.

You need this to play most Nintendo switch games online so that's the main feature. You also get access to old NES and SNES games to play on your switch. The quality of these varies as more and more get added but they have a decent selection at the moment. You also get cloud backups for your save games which is nice. There are some exclusive deals as well, and some exclusive games you can play like Tetris 99. Other than that thought it does pale in comparison to the other online services, but it's also the cheapest at the moment.

Nintendo Switch Online may not offer as much functionality as the other consoles' online services, but the price is fair and you get not only cloud save backup, but also a huge slew of great NES and SNES games to play. Totally worith it. If you have more than one switch or close friends, go in for the Family plan instead.

Nintendo Switch Online has a lot of useful benefits for subscribers. You'll be able to play online with others, voice chat through the mobile app, get exclusive bonus offers and games, cloud game saves, and gain access to the NES classics with online functionality. It's a win-win, and relatively cheap when you compare it to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live.

It's a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. The free SNES and NES games are cool, though I wish they'd add more. You'll need this if you want to play online multiplayer games or leverage cloud saves on your Switch. I don't like tying credit cards to every account I have, so this allows me to get around that. Just enter the code on your account and you're done. Easy-peasy.

Such a good deal for the classic games alone. Add in Tetris 99 and Fzero for roughly $2 a month....no Brainer.

This is a standard priced item and it allows you to play your Nintendo Games online with other players, so it is a must if you want to play with your friends while they are on their Switches. Also you get an excellent collection of older NES and SNES games which is great for us nostalgia players.

This is definitely worth buying. It's very inexpensive compared to PS and Xbox and there are some nice features, like access to old retro games on Nintendo. You obviously also need this to play any online multiplayer, so if that is something you want to do, you're kind of forced to buy this. Either way, it's a good deal.

For just $20 a year, Nintendo Switch Online delivers solid value, granting access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, and a library of classic NES and SNES games. While the online infrastructure isn't perfect and voice chat requires a separate app, it's a must-have for fans of games like Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Splatoon 3. If you love retro gaming and multiplayer fun, this budget-friendly subscription is worth considering.

12mos of Nintendo Switch Online. Not much more to say. I wish we didn't have to pay for online, but at least it's substantially cheaper than Sony and Microsoft's subscriptions. I suppose that comes with the consequence that the services offered are far more basic though--no text or voice chat, or even inviting friends to games (unless the game itself implements the feature).

If you're the type of gamer who refuses to put down their Nintendo Switch, then this is for you! If not, then not so much. While online features boost replay value for games like SSB Ultimate and Splatoon 2 (where online is pretty much required), the service is just okay. There is no console party system or game chat (you need to use a mobile app for that), and the quality of online play could use some work, it's perfectly in line to the low price. As an added bonus, you get access to classic games, and special offers such as free Tetris 99! All in all good, but could be better.

The arrival of the code was instantaneous, clear instructions were given, no issues whatsoever! I'm going back to bed.

i needed this for all my online games on my switch and it’s a good price

Worked as expected! Code received within 24 hours and was completely functional would recommend saves you time and money!

Owning a Nintendo online card for 20 dollars is worth it. Plus you can play the classic games from the NES era.

Works as expected and very fast email delivery provided by BestBuy

Always loved Nintendo I am glad Best Buy provides this services.

I bought it and redeemed it! Great purchase! I would recommend this to all Nintendo lovers!

I primarily use the online membership for tetris99 and Mario35 when it was available, but have used it in a limited fashion for other games. If you want to play multi-player games online or co-op with friends, then it is necessary to have a membership, but if you play primarily single-player games, then there is little added value having the online membership. Therefore, the value of the membership truly depends on the games that you have and play, as well as your desired play-style. Depending on the game, most of my experiences with online play are that it can be difficult and frustrating due to the fact that I have limited time to devote to games and have long periods where I cannot play. As such, when I have tried to participate in online content I have been quite bad, but that is no one's fault but mine. That is not to say that there is anything wrong with that, and I am not condemning the "fairness" of the games at all! I tend to think modifications to gameplay intended to impact "scaling" are usually unsuccessful, and can hurt those who enjoy the games the most. In summary: 1) If you are the one who owns and plays the games, you probably know if this is beneficial for you, or 2) if you are looking to purchase this as a gift for someone else, it is best to ask them or someone who knows what they play if this is of interest for them.
