Nintendo Switch Online details: 20 NES games, cloud saves, and more

Nintendo Switch debuted more than a year ago, but it still doesn’t have a proper online service. The publisher is planning to rectify that in September when it launches Nintendo Switch Online in full with several major features and a $20-per-year price.

If you’ve used Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus, you should have a general idea of what to expect. Nintendo Switch Online enables you to play certain games online with your friends or with others. These games include Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Mario Tennis Aces, and Sushi Striker: The Way of the Sushido. If you do not have Nintendo Switch Online come the September launch, those games will no longer work online except during free weekends and other promotional events.
