Nintendo Switch Online has improved tremendously over the past few years, now offering a bunch of classic NES and SNES games alongside access to online multiplayer. Today’s a great time to check it out, as Target is bundling a 12-month NSO subscription free with select Switch titles--including Mario Party Superstars, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and more.

　　Most of the games included in the promotion benefit from having a Switch Online subscription, such as Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing, as the games are infinitely more enjoyable when played with a few friends. If you haven’t kept up to speed with NSO, you’ll be surprised to know how much is now offered with your membership. Beyond online play, you’ll get the following:
