Seeing as the service offers basics such as online multiplayer and access to a retro library of NES and SNES games. Despite some widespread criticism though, it looks like Nintendo is still attracting a good chunk of members! ## [](#the-numbers-are-good)The numbers are good Nintendo shared an English version of its Corporate Management Policy Briefing – which outlines its current business performance in 2020. As you can see above, it reveals that there are currently more than 26 million Nintendo Switch users with the console’s online service. As noted by Nintendo below, the online service saw spikes in subscriptions alongside Switch games that encouraged online play – such as Super Smash Bros.
