Nintendo has a lot more to offer for their North American fans as 2022 approaches. Fans in the region are up for a treat as My Nintendo members from NA can now redeem a free Switch Online trial for a week. The Nintendo Switch Online service can be considered as a rival to the already existing Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus services and provides features such as online multiplayer, cloud saves, free retro NES/SNES titles, and exclusive titles such as Tetris 99 and the latest Pac-man 99.

Nintendo is offering its My Nintendo members from North America a free 7-day trial for its online service. One purpose of these trials is for players to participate in the Mario Kart ‘Holiday Fun Run’ event.
This will be a limited-time offer and players are suggested to grab it real quick before it runs out.
However, it is important to note that players with existing individual or family subscriptions cannot participate in this free redeem. The free trial will immediately get converted to a monthly membership with automatic renewal. And until players turn it off, they will be charged the membership amount for the subscription.
For a limited time, eligible My Nintendo members can try #NintendoSwitchOnline for 7 days without using any Platinum Points.

One of the concerns that still remains is regarding the legitimacy of Nintendo Switch Online. Fans have been quite skeptical about Switch Online and its expansion pack. The Expansion Pack comes with an extra charge despite Switch Online’s subscription cost. Several N64 games have been reportedly lagging in terms of gameplay performance, which has enraged the members of the Nintendo community.
One of the games, Paper Mario 64, is facing severe input lag and button mapping.
