According to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo Switch Online currently has more than 8,000,000 accounts. We’ve included a tweet relaying the news for you down below.

This service isn’t fantastic, sure, but its prices sure are great! I totally wouldn’t mind having n64 games on NSO either!
I don’t care how cheap it is. The price doesn’t equal the value imo. Also, why would anyone mind having N64 games? With the price we’re paying I’d say it’s the least they could offer.
True. There are indeed games with prices not matching its value. But there are also wonderful games sold for a knock-down price. N64 games are for retro gamers or those who wants a nostalgic trip. I think there’s nothing wrong with N64 games being on NSO. It’s an option.
I think Nintendo’s online service has the potential to be great if they can easily put the “retro game” app on newer systems without the need to completely start over. Think of the huge collection we could get.
Doesn’t matter if it cheap. It won’t justify this service. And making Smash 2.0.0 unstable and corruptable just so you won’t feel safe for not having online backup. Should at least given us that feature for free.
And people blame nintendo instead of sakurai for the smash update.
This is probably more a corporate thing than a personal.
Title says 8.000,000 instead of 8,000,000
Thanks for letting me know! =)
Lots of stuff coming out of this investors meeting now, so I’ve been having to rush a little to keep up with it.
Great work so far tho
It’d be more if the service wasn’t so… Meh. Speaking of which, I need to go & get my yearly subscription started now that it’s February. I’d gladly pay more than 20 if it meant better features (and if it didn’t have that retarded Switch app as a requirement.)
The emulator is crap as is the service. Nintendo need to sort their ideas out ok they are testing the waters but sony has this down with no issues so why are nintendo still stuck in the stone age?
“We at Nintendo are finally doing online right! Now here’s a smartphone app that you can’t ignore if you want voice chat! Hurr durr!” *sigh*
the online maybe good value but it still has alot of faults plus voice chat fr my is discord so Nintendo isn’t having me use my 18yo phone for voice chat fuck that i’ve got a laptop for that. So put a update on the switch that allows voice chat and not be stingy for pete’s sake we are not japan that has a phone taped to their ear all the time.

i only have it to ply smash bros online. i really dislike the service
Well, I was hoping to wait out Ninty so that they’d improve it, I guess that’s up in smoke.
