News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 15 Oct 2021 118 comments Following its reveal last month, Nintendo has finally announced launch and pricing details for its Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, which will go live on 26th October. This premium tier version of Nintendo's current online service will provide access to all features included in the basic tier (that is, multiplayer, NES and SNES games, and cloud saves), alongside exclusive access to a slowly expanding collection of Mega Drive and N64 games - which will support suspend points and, for certain titles, online multiplayer. Nintendo has also now revealed it'll be including Animal Crossing: New Horizon's freshly announced Happy Home Paradise expansion as an additional incentive at no extra cost.
