Nintendo Switch’s online membership will cost $30 AUD a year

Update: AUD and NZD pricing now available.

Original story: Nintendo Switch’s online membership fees have today been detailed by the publisher.

Pricing is as follows:

  • One month: $3.99 USD, $5.95 AUD, $6.55 NZD
  • Three months: $7.99 USD, $11.95 AUD, $13.15 NZD
  • One year: $19.99 USD, $29.95 AUD, $32.95 NZD

Online services will be free until the paid subscription’s official launch in 2018.

“This paid service lets Nintendo Switch owners enjoy online multiplayer gaming as well as a dedicated smartphone app that connects to your Nintendo Switch system and helps you connect with friends for online play sessions,” Nintendo also advised alongside the pricing.

Yesterday, a HORI-made peripheral was announced, detailing just how complicated voice chat will be with the online service.

Moreover, the service will provide subscribers the chance “to download a compilation of classic titles with added online play, such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario.”

We’re working on obtaining Australian pricing now.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
