Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa commented on the Switch Online service at the company’s 79th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. An investor asked about how it will be enhanced given how a subscription is “inexpensive”, but “the content of the service still feels rather weak.”
Furukawa highlighted that Nintendo Switch Online has surpassed 10 million accounts, and the number of subscribers “has increased steadily since the service was launched last September”. He would later say that Nintendo understands “that making the Nintendo Switch Online service attractive to users is extremely important, and will continue to make the content of the service even more appealing going forward.”

A couple of months ago, Nintendo and Twitch teamed up for a new partnership. Those with Twitch Prime subscriptions were eligible for up to 12 months of free Nintendo Switch Online access. However, it was split into two batches – one for three months, and another for nine months.
That nine-month Nintendo Switch Online code can now be requested and redeemed, assuming you took advantage of the offer on the first day. In other words, you should be able to redeem the second part after two months have passed. If you’re a Twitch Prime (or Amazon Prime) member, simply visit this page and click on the “Claim Now” text.
