Nintendo Switch Online Enhancements for Switch 2

Nintendo Switch Online members can look forward to new benefits on the Switch 2, including upgrade packs for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at no additional cost. Additionally, a new game-specific service called ZELDA NOTES is set to support players in these titles.

The ZELDA NOTES service will function as a real-time strategy guide, offering hints, maps, and video tutorials curated by Nintendo. Players will be able to mark locations on their in-game maps and access community-generated tips from other Zelda fans.

Other changes to Nintendo Switch Online include a new premium tier, which grants access to a library of enhanced classic games from the Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii. These versions will feature improved resolution, online multiplayer, and customizable controls.

The online service will also support native voice chat for select titles, a long-awaited feature that removes the need for the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app.
