Nintendo is giving away seven days of Switch Online for free Free trial available to all - even if you've claimed before. Deals by James Pickard Contributor Updated on 5 May 2020 15 comments Nintendo has launched a new promotion that'll get you a free Switch Online membership for seven days. Now, there's always been a seven day free trial of Switch Online available to new members when they first register. However, once you've used it, it's gone. This offer, though, is available to everyone who doesn't have an active membership. So, you can grab it even if you've already activated the Nintendo Switch Online free trial in the past. Not a bad thing if you've wanted to schedule a few rounds of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with friends while in lockdown. Or if you've just picked up one of the best Nintendo Switch bundle deals currently available. All you need to do is log in to the Nintendo eShop on your Switch to redeem the offer. Enjoy 7 days of online play, 70+ classic #NES and #SuperNES games, and more with a #NintendoSwitchOnline free trial! You can enjoy this offer even if you redeemed a free trial previously. Visit #Nintendo #eShop on your console to get started. pic.twitter.com/q2Ke38XlkS- Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) April 29, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Highlights from this library include The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ninja Gaiden and Super Metroid. I actually played through the latter recently on the Switch and it was brilliant being able to revisit that game again.
