Though the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack offers Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games, those who are only subscribed to the cheaper, base tier of the service still get their money's worth, with a back catalog of over 60 NES titles, and over 50 SNES titles to choose from.

But from the start, there's been one feature that's made Nintendo Switch Online a must-have subscription: its catalog of NES and SNES games. This decision wasn't met with too much backlash, as fans had been warned about this well in advance, and the price tag was significantly lower than both Xbox and PlayStation's online services. But after a year, Nintendo announced that Switch Online would cost $20 per year. When the Nintendo Switch first came out, its online service was free for everyone, which made the severe latency issues and bizarre communications system feel a little more acceptable. Nintendo Switch Online has had a bit of a mixed reception since its soft launch in 2017.
