It’s been a couple of months now since our last Nintendo Switch Online additions. Back in September the likes of Mario’s Super Picross and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest were added to the service, but nothing since then.

Pokemon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo Switch was causing controversy even before it came out. From the outcry generated by missing Pokemon to the suspicion that Game Freak was cutting corners by reusing animation cycles and assets, you’d be forgiven for thinking this would have resulted in poor sales figures. That certainly wasn’t the case.
Nintendo Online was launched back in September of 2018 and is required to play Switch titles online. Not only that, but the service allows handy access to cloud-saves, special offers, and games.

There may not have been a better pleasant surprise than the suddenly-announced Tetris 99, a multiplayer game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Turning the familiar Tetris formula into an absurd yet addicting battle royale extravaganza proved successful, and for many, justified their subscription to a so-so service. According to a Q&A with investors, Nintendo
The nearly 10 million players who have signed up for Nintendo Switch Online are getting three new additions to their NES lineup. Donkey Kong Jr., VS.

Even though the Nintendo Switch Online service has only been around since September of 2018, it seems like the subscription program is already raking in quite a bit of money.

Reported on by Eurogamer, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all being investigated by the UK government’s Competition and Markets Authority to see if the auto-renewal feature’s terms of Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus, and Xbox Live are “unfair.” According to the CMA’s announcement of the investigation, it will try to answer some questions to “helo
From what we currently know, Nintendo has no plans to make a new entry in the boxing series Punch-Out!!. Outside of the appearance of the franchise’s main protagonist Little Mac in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a new installment for Punch-Out!! hasn’t come about since the 2009 release on the Nintendo Wii. According to legendary boxer Mike Tyson though, Nintendo

Nintendo is rolling in the dough right now. With the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the handheld/home console hybrid has made most of the right moves to put itself in the position that it is currently in. Released with one of the greatest games ever made? Check. Put out not one, but two of
With a new month comes some new NES games for Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Bros. 2 and Kirby’s Adventure are next in line for Nintendo Switch Online—Nintendo Entertainment System. Yes, that service name is still annoying to type every time. The two titles will arrive in the middle of February. Nintendo fans should undoubtedly be
The Nintendo Switch Online Service has been abysmal to say the least. For $20 a year, switch owners get access to a catalog of NES games to play, the ability to play online for most games, and cloud saves. There are some other smaller things included, however, those are the standouts. Yet, not many people
Since its introduction last fall, one of the Nintendo Switch Online service’s biggest perks has been its ever-expanding lineup of classic NES games that give subscribers the chance to experience a wide array of classic titles from the NES-era, and now two more additions are on the way in just over a week from now.

Nintendo has often been called “out of touch” when it comes to their online strategy, but I tend to use the less reductive term “idiosyncratic,” or perhaps even “incoherent.” It isn’t new for the company to be practicing with “Nintendo-like solutions” rather than industry standards but in this day and age, their online infrastructure with
Around the time Nintendo Switch Online launched last month, Nintendo confirmed that more NES games would be added to the service at monthly intervals.

It’s been quite some time since we heard about Nintendo Switch’s fabled paid-online play.
