It comes with special emulates (Nintendo official) which allows for playing classic NES and SNES games, you gain access to online multiplayer, game trials which are games that Nintendo gives out for a limited time period (The game is playable for a certain amount of time, which comes with the full version. It lets you try out a game for a little while and then if it's good, you can buh it and have the save progress transfer to the paid copy.) and even a app that let's you do stuff like access in-game services, do voice chat and more, as well as park of a recent update to the service, you get a currency called platinum points, which are earned by doing certain "missions" such as playing a featured title, or playing any Switch Online supported game. They can then be spent on icon elements which allow you to make custom icons, or "profile pictures" for your user. There's also a more expensive version of the subscription service called "Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion pack" which where I live, it's twice the price of the base subscription., but it includes two more emulators, which are for N64 and Sega Genesisas well as free DLC for certain games from Mario Kart, and Animal Crossing. The base subscription can be bought in subscription intervals of 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year, and the Expansion pack can be bought in 1 year subscription intervals. I will tell you that if you do have a PS4/5 or Xbox One/Series X/S, the subscription prices for the Switch is cheaper than the two other consoles, in terms of the separate intervals. In comparison, where I live, it's $24.99 for one year of the base subscription, $49.99 for the Expansion pack, compared to $69.99 for one year of PlayStation Plus Essential (the lowest, cheaper tier of Playstation's "PlayStation PLUS", their subscription, and $59.99 for six months for Xbox Live Gold, which is Xbox's version of PlayStation Plus and Switch Online (including the optional Expansion Pack). That doubles to 119.99 for 12 months.) Oh and by the way, these emulators do include the option for 2 player play. (Well, most of them anyways, haven't tried myself since I own a Switch Lite, which is the cheapest version but is specifically designed for single player, handheld use) This would be really great value since they include about 25-30 games per emulator and more to come along. Overall I think it's good to at least consider since they would provide hours upon hours of play for a really good price per year There's a really broad variety of genres that come with them plus the other perks I mentioned. Best of yet, the Nintendo Switch Online subscription comes with a special app on the switch itself, which doesn't require a active subscription to access, for the most part. This can be used to access some perks that I mentioned, such as custom icon creation, and managing your suoscription.

Just a piece of advice that I think you should know it: There's an app on most phones called "Nintendo Switch Parental Controls" elwhich provides more controls than the Switch initially comes with, such as being able to set timers or even how long they get to play on a certain day of the week, see what they have played through out the week, and even what happens when time is up (Two options, either a simple notification which appears on the top left of the screen or to interrupt and suspend gameplay entirely, which the latter is usually for last resort cases where they will not get off on their own) I'll provide a link to the video on YouTube that explains this into more detail

Oh. I almost forgot, yes, the games are really good.

I’m a Xbox guy but had more Nintendos. Plus they were in games in the late 1800’s technically speaking.

Try another network, like a friends house or a mobile hotspot. If you have already done that, try deleting the network from your console and then reconnecting it after a system reboot. Make sure your switch is updated to the latest version as well.

This isn't possible. A bad disc read will result in incomplete data, not to mention most disc games now a days are nothing but "keys" to play the digital version.

Even if the full game is on the disc, a bad disc read will corrupt a save file, remove your soundtrack, make thins look derpy or stop the game running.

Microsoft has halo great combat and story Nintendo has Zelda amazing story so it’s a mix between them

With bad data reads you get either scrambled data or zeros. Both can either make your game glitchy or freeze, to get you to the ending movie your game has to get specific commands and data sequence that's impossible to get due to bad disc read

Yeah animal crossing is awesome but the one player and kind of non existent split-screen is 😒🙄

a

Alright, I will do that. They have yet to open it at Christmas. 😉

Would you say the subscription is worth it? Are the games that come with the sub. mode good?

One of my games broke once and I was left with only the sound track and maybe art work 😵‍💫

There is a 30 or so USD dollar controller that eliminates drift. I think it's called the King Kong Pro 2. You might want to look more of it up on review sites or even YouTube as they will have a far better explanation than I can provide. Going over the details is a bit too complicated, especially as there's a whole lot to go over.

I was gonna go for Animal Crossing but since there's only 1 player per console and no split-screen support im not sure anymore.

It's a Christmas gift so we haven't opened it except by adding a screen protector, connecting the extra joy-cons, updating it and downloading Mario Kart, and of course, playing it for a couple of hours. 😉

The games im interested in are mainly games where two people can play in split-screen mode as they are almost always gonna play together.

The new OLED doesn't include the games yet sadly only the older version does.

Most Mario franchise games are 2 player and each player plays a equal role in these games. This was something I ran into back when I used to play Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 for the Wii. My brother would want to play and he would only have a small role compared to me, which my family didn't like. But as a reference, it should say on the back of the physical cover if it's 2 players or not. For the Nintendo Eshop, which is Nintendo's "digital game/app store" it should say whenever it's 2 player or not in its description. Just scroll down the game's main page until you find it.

Good luck :)

👍

The game that came with my Nintendo switch was animal crossing.

Have you checked out the Nintendo switch store? I've got some pretty good games from there and it's not to bad on price.

How do you know?

No

Same it’s so annoying

yeah my other devices can connect to the wifi easily just my switch cant for some reason

[deleted]

I bought it at the same time I bought the Nintendo switch. It's a must-have. 😉

Probably between Sony and Nintendo for me.

Games can be pretty similar, but the music, artwork, physics engine, movement and gameplay can be big factors in how much you like a game and are often overlooked compared to things like graphic detail, target audience and the story.

I love first person shooters, but some of them just feel wrong. I used to love final fantasy games because of the stories, but I really dislike the open world hack and slash with bad guys everywhere 🤷‍♂️

Atari every day baby hell yeah gotta love that Math Grand Prix

Has anyone suggested Mario Kart?

Just a little survey
