SwitchArcade Roundup: 'Death Road to Canada', Nintendo Switch Online, and More



Welcome to the SwitchArcade Roundup for May 8th, 2018, where we're covering the latest in Nintendo Switch news, releases, and sales. The big news of the day is the reveal of Nintendo Swtich Online's price, NES games, and features. $19.99 per year will get you the ability to play online in games, including ones that are currently free to play online. So, you'll need to pay to keep wrecking squids in Splatoon 2, welp.

#NintendoSwitch Online launches this September with Save Data Cloud backup and 20 classic NES games, with more to come, that have newly added online play!

While the membership will be required for online play and using the online app going forward, let's talk about the features being added to the service. 20 NES games with online play and voice chat will be available to subscribers, and here's the first 10 games:
Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong
Dr. Mario
Ice Climber
Mario Bros.
Soccer
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Tennis
The Legend of Zelda

These will not just support online play in the games with multiplayer modes, but you can share the controller in The Legend of Zelda in case you get stuck and want your friend to help out. Hopefully more games, and more Nintendo platforms, roll out to the service.
The Save Data Cloud Backup feature might be a lifesaver. Right now, there's not a way to backup save files, or to transfer...
