(Pocket-lint) - The Nintendo Switch has its own, paid subscription service which is required for online play. However, not only does Nintendo Switch Online enable Switch owners to play many games online, membership offers a growing selection of free classic games to download, including Super Mario. - So here's everything you need to know about Nintendo Switch Online, including the price, family plans and what it has to offer. Switch Online is Nintendo's equivalent to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold. It is a paid subscription service that gives you access to online multiplayer play for many games, plus other benefits and features. You will need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member to play the vast majority of games online. You will still be able to play games such as Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in single-player or local multiplayer, but won't be able to compete against your friends over the internet if you don't have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription. squirrel_widget_173043 A growing library of Nintendo Entertainment System games are available to play at no extra cost. Classics on offer include Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda. Switch Online members also get the chance to play a selection of SNES games, such as Super Mario World and Mario Kart. There are more than 100 games on both lists in total. It effectively turns your Nintendo Switch into a NES Classic Mini or SNES Classic Mini. Those who pay extra for the Expansion Pack also gain access to classic N64 and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis games. It includes some downloadable content at no extra cost too, such as the Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise DLC and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass. NES

Switch Online allows you to store your save games in the cloud, in order to back up your progress. That way, if you do have to wipe your Switch for whatever reason or run out of storage, you will still have a back-up you can download at a later date. There is a catch though; not all games will save to the cloud. Nintendo blocks some to "ensure fair play", whatever that means. A Nintendo Switch Online app is available for iOS and Android, and offers voice chat and multiplayer hubs for supported games. Deals and offers are available for members only. As are the occasional free games beyond those for NES, SNES, N64 and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. A Missions & Rewards section of the Nintendo Switch Online hub sets you tasks, such as "play software that suports online play", or game-specific goals, like "play the NES version of Super Mario Bros". Each completed mission will earn you Platinum Points that can either be traded for digital items (such as themes) or merchandise on Nintendo's website. They can also be swapped-in for exclusive icons, frames and backgrounds for your Switch profile picture. It's worth noting that Platinum Points are not the same as Gold Points (usually earned when buying games from Nintendo itself) and expire after six months, so don't forget to spend them. The price of Nintendo Switch Online varies depending on whether you like to pay monthly, quarterly or yearly. There is also family membership which includes up to eight Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions. Each different family member can use the full Nintendo Switch Online privileges on different consoles or even the same Switch.
