I recently wrote about how I had become bored with the Nintendo Switch 2 after a week. A lot can change over a month, as the Nintendo Switch 2 is now the gaming console I play the most. And it’s not because of new games like Mario Kart World or the just-released Donkey Kong Bananza. I’ve been spending most of my free time on Switch 2 thanks to a service I initially overlooked: Nintendo Switch Online.
If you don’t know, Nintendo Switch Online, or NSO, is a subscription service that’s required to play most Switch games online. It’s effectively Nintendo’s version of PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass in that regard. While being able to play online might be the main draw for most, NSO has something that’s made it irresistible to me — the ability to play classic Nintendo games.
