Nintendo recently showed off new DLC content for Animal Crossing: New Horizons as well as a new catalog of classic games from the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis that will be available for the Nintendo Switch. Now, the game company has more details for its Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, which will include access to the retro games on Oct. 25 and the DLC on Nov. 5.
The new membership includes access to 23 N64 and Sega Genesis games, and it will cost $49.99 a year for an individual or $79.99 a year for a family, which can include up to eight Nintendo accounts, IGN reports.
This is effectively an annual increase of $30 ($35 for families) over the standard Nintendo Switch Online membership, which provides access to online gaming on the Switch. The service also already included a wide assortment of over 100 classic NES and SNES games.
Gamers who want the Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise DLC but don’t think they’ll take advantage of the N64 and Sega Genesis game collections with the new membership tier can stick with a standard Nintendo Switch Online membership and purchase the DLC separately for $24.99.
Fans of retro gaming can also purchase a classic Nintendo 64 or Sega Genesis controller as long as they are members of the standard Nintendo Switch Online plan, though they’ll still require the upgraded plan to access the retro games. The service will also provide online multiplayer for some of the N64 titles.
