'''Nintendo Switch Online''' ('''NSO''') is an official subscription service for the '''[[Nintendo Switch emulators|Nintendo Switch]]'''. Working pretty much like [[Xbox Live|Xbox LIVE]] or [[PlayStation Network]], it provides the user with access to online game play (except for free-to-play games, which aren't required), cloud saving, and a compilation of retro games divided into multiple apps. A monthly or annual fee is required, with the prices varying by type of plan, and Nintendo Account type (individual or child). Not every country has access to the service, such as Taiwan.
The retro game apps allow the player to emulate classic systems, offering a selection of titles added by Nintendo on an irregular basis. Some systems are locked onto the more expensive Expansion Pack tier; notably this includes the systems for which the emulators weren't solely developed by NERD.
