Nintendo is building on the success of the Switch, which is set to power the company to its biggest profit in eight years, with add-on products and services to reach a broader base of consumers.
Nintendo Co underlined its push to win new users to the Switch console by releasing pricing for its online service specifically targeting families, a package that also includes 20 classic games.
A 12-month family subscription to Nintendo Switch Online in the US will cost US$34.99 (RM138.16) and give access to as many as eight account holders, the Kyoto-based company said in a statement Tuesday. That’s in addition to individual memberships that are US$3.99 (RM15.75) per month or US$19.99 (RM78.93) for a full year. Sony Corp’s PlayStation Plus offers a year’s access for US$59.99 (RM236.87), the same price as Microsoft Corp’s Xbox Live Gold.
