Nintendo Switch Online is often overlooked by gamers. Although it's already affordable at $19.99 per year, Nintendo is offering a special 14-day free trial for its online service for a limited time.
Steps to Access Your Free Nintendo Switch Online Trial
This free trial is part of the MAR10 Day (March 10) celebration, and is available to anyone with a Nintendo account, even if you've already enjoyed a free trial before.
To claim your 14-day free trial, visit the My Nintendo website. Sign in, locate the Redeem Points button, and click on it. You'll be directed to a page with various rewards. Look for the Happy MAR10 Day reward offering the 14-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online, then select it. You'll be taken to the redemption page, where you can claim the offer and add it to your account.
As mentioned earlier, this offer is only available for a short period, and Nintendo rarely provides such trials. The offer ends on March 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you want to experience Nintendo Switch Online, now is the time to grab it.
What features come with Nintendo Switch Online?
Nintendo Switch Online is more than just a way to access online features for your favorite Switch games. While it does allow multiplayer play in titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Splatoon 3, subscribing also provides you with various other benefits, including the NES Switch Online, SNES, and Game Boy apps. These emulators let you enjoy classic retro games directly on your Switch.
You’ll also receive exclusive offers and discounts with your subscription, plus access to the Nintendo Switch Online app and cloud storage for all your save data. If you enjoy what Nintendo Switch Online offers, you can also upgrade to the Expansion Pack, which costs a little more but gives you access to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, Happy Home Paradise in New Horizons, the Octo Expansion in Splatoon 2, along with additional retro games via the Game Boy Advance, SEGA Genesis, and Nintendo 64 online apps.
You can subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online for $19.99 per year for the basic plan, or $49.99 per year for Switch Online + the Expansion Pack.
