There will be a variety of different price points for both individuals and families. For individual access, one month will cost $3.99, three months will cost $7.99, and a year will cost $19.99. The family plan lets up to eight Nintendo Account holders access the online services for a year and is priced at $34.99.
Although there is no mention of SNES or Nintendo 64 games yet, the online service will launch with 20 classic NES games, such as The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong, and Ice Climbers. Each of these games will let you engage in co-op or competitive online multi-player or allow you to watch someone else play in single-player mode while you take turns.
The service will also launch with the Nintendo Switch Online App for Android and iOS devices, which will allow players to use voice chat and other features to enhance their experience.
