Today, Nintendo joins Xbox and PlayStation with a live online gaming platform: Nintendo Switch Online<\/a>. Gamers will be able to play classic Nintendo titles online, along with multiplayer titles as well.<\/p>\n

The online service costs $3.99\/month or $19.99\/year. That’s a bargain compared to Sony and Microsoft’s online gaming services, which run you $59.99\/year.<\/p>\n

At launch, you’ll be able to play 20 different 8-bit classics like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong,\u00a0and Tecmo Bowl. Nintendo promises that the library of classic NES games will continue to grow over time.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch Online also saves your data to the cloud, so even if your console breaks, your game progress will be saved.<\/p>\n\n
