Nintendo Switch Online – continued access to the library of classic games so long as you’re subscribed
Nintendo delivered new details about Switch’s online service – now known as Nintendo Switch Online – pretty much out of nowhere tonight. Kotaku has since sought additional clarification about how the classic games are being dished out.
Here’s what Nintendo told the site:
“Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will have ongoing access to a library of classic games with added online play. Users can play as many of the games as they want, as often as they like, as long as they have an active subscription.”
“Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to play a wide variety of classic games, including Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario. More games will be announced at a later date. At launch the classic game library will include NES games. Super NES games continue to be under consideration, but we have nothing further to announce at this time.”
In other words, it looks like the monthly classic games are being replaced with something better. It also sounds like you’ll now be able to keep games as long as you’re subscribed.
