Accessing Exclusive Nintendo Games with Nintendo Switch Online Subscription
Enjoying Japan-only games online is one of the standout features of the Nintendo Switch when paired with the Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This subscription, priced at $20 per year, grants users access to a library of classic Nintendo games spanning NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. For enthusiasts seeking more variety, the $50 per year Expansion Pack subscription expands the collection to include N64 and Game Boy Advance games.
While the game collection varies by region, offering unique titles like Mother 3 exclusively on the Japanese version for Game Boy Advance, the beauty of the Nintendo Switch lies in its lack of region locking. This means that with a single subscription, players can freely download and enjoy these Japan-only games without any additional requirements.
