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.

While not nearly as robust in features as the Xbox or Playstation online subscriptions, the Switch Online membership is less expensive and still useful for online multiplayer and for online backups of your game saves (if supported).

This was a great purchase. Ive been using this one a bit more than I should lol. Nevertheless, its been a great buy and Id recommend to anyone looking to purchase an online subscription.

I love the Nintendo Switch Online yearling membership. Not only do you get the ability to play some great games online but you can also play great games from Nintendo's past. The price is excellent. At $20, you get a lot for the price unlike the overpriced Xbox Live and PS+ which I don't feel either is worth the price for a few free older games each month that can only be played while you have the membership.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
