Its add-on expansion pack tier adds another 100 classic games, plus access to DLC for popular games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing.
Thanks to a limited time offer, Switch owners can now get 2 months of any Nintendo Switch Online subscription plan completely free.
Anyone who purchases a 12-month NSO plan of any type, including players who add another year to their existing subscription, will receive an additional 2 months free.
So if you purchase 12 months during the promotional period, you will get 14 months added to your subscription for the same price.
The agreement will last until September 8, 2024and to get it just go to the NSO app on your Switch and renew in the Membership and Support Options section.
The offer is part of Nintendo’s Mega Multiplayer Festival, which has just started and will feature a series of other activities, bonuses and discounts.
Starting today, August 5, 2024, bonus Gold Points will be available for select multiplayer games purchased from the Nintendo eShop.
During the Mega Gold Point promotion, purchases of select titles earn double Gold Points for all Switch owners.
Selected titles include the latest Pokémon titles, Super Smash Bros, Super Mario Party, Animal Crossing and more.
Nintendo Switch Online members are getting an even better deal as their purchases will earn them four times the normal amount of Gold Points.
Bonus Gold Points will be distributed on purchases made until August 18, 2024, so now is the time to check out the full selection of games.
Gold Points are very valuable because players can use them to pay for their next purchase in the Nintendo eShop.
Starting August 19, 2024, NSO subscribers will also get free trials on four multiplayer games, but the schedule has not yet been revealed.
As with other game trials, these will give members access to the full games for a limited time.
