Nintendo Switch Online Exclusives

Online Play

Subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online can enjoy online multiplayer gameplay for a wide range of Nintendo Switch titles, enhancing your gaming experience by connecting you with players worldwide.

Save Data Cloud

The Save Data Cloud feature allows you to back up your game save data to Nintendo's servers, linked to your Nintendo Account. You can access and download your save data from the game's software menu or within the System Settings. This not only facilitates seamless transfers between Switch consoles but also provides a safety net against data loss due to console issues or accidental deletion. Be aware that downloading saved data from the cloud will overwrite existing data, and once overwritten, the old data cannot be recovered.

Nintendo Switch Online App

The Nintendo Switch Online App is a vital tool for subscribers, offering enhanced communication features:

• Voice Chat: Engage in voice chat with friends in the lobby while playing online games.
• Game-Specific Services: Some games offer unique features through the app. For instance, Animal Crossing: New Horizons includes the NookLink service, enabling QR code scanning and keyboard-based in-game communication.

Exclusive Offers for Members

Nintendo Switch Online members enjoy exclusive deals and content, adding extra value to their subscription.

Mission and Rewards

By completing exclusive missions, Nintendo Switch Online members can earn My Nintendo Points, which can be redeemed for exclusive rewards like user icons.
