Our take on the Nintendo Switch Online 3 Month Individual Membership Gift Card [Physical]

A 3-month individual Nintendo Switch Online membership, sold as a physical gift card. It unlocks online play for Switch titles, cloud saves, the NES and SNES classic game libraries, and the smartphone app with voice chat. It suits one player who wants online multiplayer and retro games for a short stretch without a year-long commitment. Compared with the 12-month plan it costs more per month, and it does not include the Expansion Pack's Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance or Sega Genesis libraries or the paid DLC.
