For video game lovers this is a period of great change: very recently in fact, Nintendo Switch Online entered the market, the new Nintendo service for playing with (or against) other users.

So, the moment to virtually meet friends from all over the world has arrived, as has the time to kick off intense gaming sessions. ?

But let’s start from the beginning.

What is Nintendo Switch Online?

The service, other than giving you the possibility to play online with your friends, has made a smartphone app that gives you the option to communicate in real time with your playmates via a voice chat available.

In Mario Kart 8, for example, you can speak directly with other drivers, and in Splatoon 2 with your teammates! Moreover, these two games are no longer available for free, and to play them it is necessary to have a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. The same applies to Fifa 19.

But the advantages of Nintendo Switch Online certainly don’t end there! By signing up you will have access to a have selection of games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, and will also have access to a cloud service that allows you to automatically save a copy of your data. Seeing as this data is linked to your Nintendo account, in the event that you lose your console, or for whatever reason you wanted to use a different one, all you’d have to do is log back in and pick up exactly where you left off.

But is there a way to keep up with your favourite games without having to pay an excessive price?

How much does Nintendo Switch Online cost?

Nintendo Switch online is available across 4 subscription plans:

• 1 month: $3.99
• 3 months: $7.99
• 12 months: $19.99
• 12 months (family plan): $34.99

Notice this last option: it is in fact the only plan available that allows you to share and permits the creation of a big account, named ‘Family Group’, in which a maximum of 8 Nintendo accounts may be linked.

How to save money with the Nintendo Switch Online subscription

Let’s do some calculations: signing up to the annual subscription with the family account you pay $34.99 and it is valid for a year.

If you share your subscription with 7 other people the annual cost gets split into 8 and consequently, every user will pay $4.37 a year! Big savings!? Especially if you consider that the monthly option is $3.99, while in this way the sum of $4.37 lasts the whole year!?

This option is therefore the cheapest by far!
