Should you buy a subscription for online services?
Nintendo Switch Online subscription prices and offers can vary depending on your country of origin. For example, members in U.S and Canada can take advantage of exclusive special offers from Nintendo. However, the service isn’t as good as PS Plus or Xbox Gold as it doesn’t offer monthly free games.
Instead, Nintendo does offerclassic NES and Super NES gamesto its members. There’s also an expansion pack that adds Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis games to the service. However, the performance of these games is a bit poor as they are not running natively on the Switch but through an emulator.
Offering old games instead of new ones is why many users hesitate to buy the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service. Let us know your thoughts about the subscription service in the comment section below.
