Nintendo Switch Online is a paid membership service that allows members to team up or face off online in compatible Nintendo Switch games, such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Nintendo Switch Sports.

Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos.
