Nintendo Switch Online

Both the NES and SNES controllers are currently back in stock and can be purchased again by European Nintendo Switch Online members via the My Nintendo online store. The set of NES controllers also currently 50% off. Supplies likely won’t last long, so get them while you can, if you’re interested in the controllers.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, Animal Crossing: New Horizons outlined support for the Nintendo Switch Online app.

Known as “NookLink”, players will be able to scan QR code patterns of custom designs and more. You’ll be able to scan QR codes from Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Chatting with friends online is also supported.

The service will go live shortly after Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches.

Much like its SNES counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app has a new update. Nintendo is issuing 4.2.0, which once installed, will add Shadow of the Ninja and Eliminator Boat Duel.

Below are overviews of both titles:

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app has been updated on Switch. Version 1.2.0 is live, featuring the additions of two new games: Pop’n TwinBee and Smash Tennis.

Here’s an overview of both games:

The SNES controllers have just received another restock via Nintendo’s official store. Two important things to note: 

  • There are now quantity limits on lifetime purchases (4 lifetime purchases per account instead of 4 purchases per restock)
  • A Nintendo Switch Online subscribtion is required to purchase

Nintendo has run a couple of promotions for Switch Online subscribers in Japan. Previously, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Fire Emblem Warriors were offered entirely for free during a limit period. Now the program is expanding to third-party offerings.

Today, Nintendo announced that Dead Cells will be completely free to play between February 24 and March 1, assuming you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member. There is no limit on how much the game can be played, and you’re able to transfer progress to the full version.

Nintendo has not announced any similar promotions for Switch Online subscribers in the west at this time.

Just a short while ago, Nintendo announced the latest SNES and NES games for Switch Online subscribers. The SNES additions are Pop’n TwinBee and Smash Tennis while the NES app is receiving Shadow of the Ninja and Eliminator Boat Duel.

In Japan, things are a bit different. For the country’s SNES update, Pop’n TwinBee is still included, but Smash Tennis is being swapped out for Breath of Fire II. Atlantis no Nazo and God Slayer (Crystalis) are the new NES titles.

Here’s a trailer promoting the new releases for Japan:

Nintendo has revealed a new set of games that will soon be added to the Nintendo Switch Online service.

For the SNES app, Pop’n TwinBee and Smash Tennis are on the way. The NES edition is getting Shadow of the Ninja and Eliminator Boat Duel. All titles are slated for February 19.

Here’s information about all of the games, plus a trailer:

This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…

The situation with Switch’s SNES controllers have been a point of frustration for some fans. After they sold out, Nintendo promised it would have news about the Switch Online benefit sometime in January. The controller was actually restocked today – yet only very briefly. And it’s been mostly radio silence from Nintendo on the whole as the month draws to a close.

Nintendo has now updated the official store page again, stating that news is coming in February. We can’t held but wonder if today’s “restock” was accidental. Given how it wasn’t available after more than a few minutes, perhaps we’ll see true availability sometime next month.
