Nintendo includes the first paid New Horizons DLC in the expansion pack for its online service.
Nintendo has taken advantage of the presentation of the new contents of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to make known by surprise and at the last minute the price of its new online subscription, the controversial expansion pack for Nintendo Switch Online with classics from Nintendo 64 and Mega Drive for which you will have to pay more, in addition to specifying its premiere date, which will take place in just a few days.
Aware of the discomfort that this decision has generated, those in Kyoto have adopted a frankly intelligent market strategy. Raise the price, yes, but those who subscribe will receive in return the new Animal Crossing content expansion, valued at 24.99 euros, so that increase would be going almost entirely to the purchase of this expansion pack.
With this in mind, the individual subscription Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will be 39.99 euros for 12 months, Meanwhile he family plan is priced at [b]69.99 euros for 12 months. But in line with other services such as Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus, Nintendo advises: “Subscribers will be able to obtain the downloadable content for free and play it as long as they have an active subscription.”

In addition to these, over time, other great 64-bit console games will arrive such as Banjo & Kazooie, the well-remembered Paper Mario or F-Zero. Similarly, Nintendo Switch Online will welcome several Mega Drive classics such as Golden Ax, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Shinning Force or Streets of Rage 2 among others.
