Nintendo Wants You to “Stay Tuned” for “Exciting” News on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
It was nearly three years ago that Nintendo expanded the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service with its Expansion Pack tier, with adds to the service’s catalog of legacy titles with a number of past titles, among other benefits.
How the company will choose to expand on the service again in the future is a question that many have pondered, especially with the successor to the Switch looming in the horizon- and Nintendo, too, seems to be teasing those details.
Spotted and shared by @Wario64 on Twitter, Nintendo recently sent out a Switch Online newsletter that celebrates the three-year anniversary of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. In addition to touching on its library of N64, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance titles (alongside expansions for first-party titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and others), the newsletter also seems to hint at further “exciting” improvements set to come to the service in “the coming year”.
“Cheers to 3 years!” the newsletter reads. “We hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy revisiting or discovering classic games in the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis libraries – oh, and doing more in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Splatoon 2 with access to their paid DLC included.
“What excitement will the next year bring for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members? Stay tuned to find out.”
Nintendo recently announced a playtest for players in select regions for an unknown “new feature” headed for Nintendo Switch Online in the future. Whether this has any relation to that is anyone’s guess. Either way, from GameCube titles to perhaps adding the DS’ library, there’s plenty that fans are hoping to see from the service by way of improvements once Nintendo moves into its next generation of hardware, so it should be interesting to see how that pans out in the months ahead.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack turns 3 this month.
