Nintendo Switch Online

This app is designed to enhance the gaming experience for Nintendo Switch users by providing game-specific services and features. It requires a separate Nintendo Switch Online membership to access certain features.

For Splatoon 3, users can check the online status of friends playing the game, view detailed results from battles or Salmon Run, and check the upcoming Stage Schedule. Similarly, for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, users can send custom designs from previous Animal Crossing titles to the game, use their smartphone to input chat messages for in-game communication, and check the online status of their Best Friends.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate allows users to view posted videos, queue up user-created stages for downloading, and receive notifications about upcoming events. For Splatoon 2, users can view detailed results from battles or Salmon Run, as well as check rankings and stage schedules.

The app also allows users to view their online friends and see which games they are currently playing. Friend requests can also be sent directly from the app, although some features can only be accessed from the Nintendo Switch system.

One of the main features of the app is the ability to use voice chat during online play. This allows users to join in on voice chat while playing supported games online. The app automatically syncs the user's voice-chat status with the game status, and in games that support team battles, such as Splatoon 3, users can choose to chat with just their team members.

However, there are some requirements and limitations for using the app. Users must have a Nintendo Account age 13 or older to access certain online features, and a Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for certain features. A compatible smartphone and persistent internet connection are also necessary, and data charges may apply. The app may also include advertising.

Nintendo Switch Online is not available in all countries, and terms and conditions apply. More information can be found on the official website. The QR Code feature is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED in Japan and other countries. Users must also agree to the User Agreement before using the app.
