It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new Dealmaster. Today’s roundup of the best tech deals we can find is headlined by a nifty bundle for Nintendo Switch owners at Best Buy . Right now, if you buy a 12-month Family Membership to Nintendo’s Switch Online service at its usual cost of $35, you can get a 128GB SanDisk microSD card thrown in for no extra cost. The latter should appear automatically in your cart.
We highlighted a similar deal last June, but if you need to top off your Switch Online membership and your Change could use the extra storage space, this is still a nice opportunity. In general, Switch Online isn’t quite as essential to enjoying the Switch as competing services from Sony and Microsoft are for their consoles, but it’s still required to play online multiplayer in a variety of popular games ( Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , Animal Crossing: New Horizons , and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate among them), and it allows you to back up your game save data to cloud servers. A subscription also provides access to a number of emulated classic NES and SNES games. You don’t get access in order to the more recently supported N64 or Sega Genesis titles with this subscription tier, but that might be for the best anyway.
Just note that this deal applies to the Family Membership, which is designed to cover benefits with regard to up to eight different Swap users in a designated ” family group . inch If you’re just looking regarding a Switch Online membership intended for yourself, you can still get a 12-month Individual Membership for $20 , but this deal is a bit less appealing.
