One of the few gripes players have had with the Nintendo Switch has been its lacking online subscription service. Nintendo was listening to fan feedback, as they've revamped Nintendo Switch Online, adding a new component with an online expansion pack, but when does the improve online subscription hit consoles?
The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion pack will release in late October 2021. An existing Nintendo Switch Online membership can upgrade to the improved online service for a small fee upon release. The only thing Nintendo didn't show during the September 2021 Nintendo Direct announcement was the price point, but users can expect more details to come directly from Nintendo soon.

With a handful of retro games available at release, like Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64, with more promised down the pipeline, Nintendo Switch online users can enjoy nostalgic games from the comfort of their couch or on the go. Some of the Nintendo 64's most popular games are slated for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack later, like Banjo Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Paper Mario.
