Some might argue that the biggest perk is the service\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/switch\/online\/nintendo-switch-online\/classic-games\/\">large (and growing) library<\/a> of NES, SNES, and Game Boy games that members can play. You\u2019ll also get cloud saves, voice chat, and a smartphone companion app. Not to mention, Switch Online members are eligible to buy a two-pack of Game Vouchers for $99.98, which can be used on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/games\/game-voucher-eligible\/#sort=df&amp;p=0\">new and upcoming first-party titles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack offers all that, plus a collection of titles for Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance (some of which offer new online multiplayer). It also gives subscribers access to DLC that would otherwise cost money, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22728094\/animal-crossing-new-horizons-paid-dlc-happy-home-paradise-release-date-price\"><em>Animal Crossing: New Horizons\u2019 <\/em>premium expansion, Happy Home Paradise<\/a>, and the entirety of <em>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em>\u2019s Booster Course Pass that adds 48 courses, plus new characters, to the base game (a $25 value).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>There\u2019s a catch: <\/strong>Like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, you only get access to&nbsp;the DLC and the classic games as long as your subscription is active.
