    My son lives in another state with his mom. Getting this for him has allowed me the ability to play minecraft together during the times we can't be in the same household. The only issue is this is not for family use, so he has to play on his mom's account in order to play with me due to how things were activated. But still, makes skype calls more interactive for him. I can be on PC and he can be on switch. I dont know if his mom uses the other features this offers, like free monthly games and such, but I get to play with my son in a house that we built... until he covers it in lava because I "didnt make it out of diamond." Great purchase for our case and I'd do it again.

    Nostalgic Fun, but Needs more Content!

    Finally! Nintendo released their online service after a year and a half. Was it worth the wait? Overall, I have been happy with the service, especially for the price. Even so, I think Nintendo could still add more content to this package. The main features I'll discuss a little further are online access and the NES games. Online Access This membership allows you to play games online with others. Up to this point, doing so has been free. Understandably, Nintendo charges for such a service, as long as it works well. So far, playing games online with the service has worked great! I've spent some time playing Rocket League with others, and I have no complaints about how online games work. NES Games The membership also includes 20 old Nintendo (NES) games. Many of these games are games that I grew up playing, so it has been a lot of fun to play. My wife and I enjoy playing the puzzle game Dr. Mario together, and I've introduced her to the old Mario games. Other feature games are The Legend of Zelda, Tecmo Bowl, and Excite Bike. Paying $20 for a year membership, I believe that this is a great deal to get to play these games again. However, with Nintendo's HUGE library of games, I think they've missed an opportunity to add a ton more games and maybe charge a little bit more. I would be happy to pay maybe $35 for 100+ games from NES, SNES, and N64. Hopefully, they will add more games in the future. Overall, I'm happy with this great service. However, I believe Nintendo could do even more with this. If you played the NES back in the day and/or you like to play with friends online, this $20 membership is definitely worth the money!

    By bringing the Switch online through a paid subscription you can finally play Smash and other games online. This is the cheapest online gaming subscription at only $20 year. Nintendo's subscription also gives you access to free games monthly. Where they fall a tab bit short is that the free games are from the NES era which most of us have played time and time again. Outside of that for the price, this gives you everything you need to play your favorite games online.

    So, if you have never played old NES games then this is the perfect time to try them. This pass, much cheaper than competitors but offering a bit less than them, gets you the ability to play multiplayer games online, in addition to giving you a fair amount of NES games to try out or replay. There are drawbacks, but overall it is a solid offering and a great way to play games like Splatoon and Monster Hunter online with friends.

    For what one could do with this members ship it really is amazing that Nintendo had our backs with this one. $20 gets you access for a whole year of online fun with friends or strangers that have the same multiplayer games as you. Not to mention the adequate selection of virtual console games that come with the pass downloadable from the Switch's e-shop.

    The Nintendo switch online service is only $20 for one year! Not only does it give you the ability to place multiplayer games online, but it also gives you access to 15-20 classic NES games each month! Nintendo adds 2-4 new games a month and it's rumored that they will eventually add Snes and N64 games at some point in the future! If you own a switch its a must have for the games alone!

    Product is straightforward. Gives you a digital code to redeem for a full year's access to your Nintendo Switch's online capabilities for titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu!/Eevee!, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and more. Worth the price compared to other console's online subscriptions.

    I needed to add a certain amount to my basket for free shipping. I love my Nintendo Switch and have forgotten to update my subscription so this was a no brainer. It adds a lot to make sure I can play my games online and the free games every month is a bonus.

    I love my Nintendo Switch, there are lots of great online co-op multiplayer games to play, like Animal Crossing and Dragon Marked for Death, and then the competitive online games like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8, Nintendo is constantly making more great multiplayer games, unlike the Playstation 4 which I own and haven't bought a Playstation Plus membership for it in over 2 years, if you enjoy playing fun games with friends and family I highly recommend this, Thank You Nintendo, you always care about your fans and consumers.

    I've been waiting for this on the Nintendo Switch. It's a good way to meet people who enjoy the same games you enjoy. Plus some games give you the ability to voice chat with other gamers. It also allows you to play other freeclassic games.

    Paying for the online subscription for the Nintendo switch was the right move for me. My nephew wouldn't have it any other way. He asked me for it as one of his Christmas presents so he could play online with his friends. He's enjoying it alot!!
