  • A: Response to the last question on here. What that 1st reply meant was that the code itself does not expire, meaning you can redeem it now, or as long as Nintendo provides the service (if you keep the code for 10 years and the service is no longer active, you're out of luck). The code itself is for 12 months of service, so once you redeem it, you have 12 months of online service. It applies to the Switch and Switch Lite, continue as usual for the 3dxl

    submitted byDonut - 4 years ago
  • A: This isn’t an answer but a question to tack onto this question. The reply to the question makes it sound like once you buy the membership it is good forever. Yet, it is called a 12-month Individual Membership. A little confusing there, Also, does this apply only to my Switch Lite or are any of my other Nintendo platforms included? I still play my 3DS XL regularly. It’s connected to our home network and I have a number of digital things and games loaded into my 3DS XL. Do I continue as usual with the 3DS XL or is there something I should do to connect the two devices if there is a reason?? Thank you.

  • A: Not here to give an answer, but that tech phone number for "additional questions" is an absolute joke. Transferred 3 times and not one person was willing or able.

    submitted byWhat a joke - 2 years ago
  • A: Some games like splatoon require this card or you can not play the game at all. It seems to be like the live cards for xbox and playstation. You won’t get to play with other people without it and if the game is based on playing with others, you can’t play any of the game without it.
