You’ll need to connect your Nintendo Switch to the internet every seven days to keep playing your NES games.
The Virtual Console-style catalogue of retro classics comes as part of Nintendo Switch’s upcoming online subscription. But you’ll need to remember to connect at least every week in order to guarantee access – even if your subscription is a long way from expiring.
If you have an online subscription you’re likely to be playing online regularly, although maybe you’re heading on holiday? Or maybe you only play on the bus without internet and are subscribing just to play retro games?
