Nintendo Switch Online membership numbers revealed; over 9.8 million users have signed up

switch-online-625x352.png
Nintendo's first foray into the world of paid subscription service online has been an interesting ordeal, to say the least. With just only half a year having gone by since the launch of the Nintendo Switch Online service, we've gotten our first look at some official numbers as released in Nintendo's fiscal year report. Over 9.8 million users worldwide have signed up for and bought a membership for Nintendo Switch Online. This figure excludes those who only used free trials, but it does include family membership users as individuals. Not only that, but out of those 9.8 million or so, a massive portion of those players, 2.8 million, have downloaded and played Tetris 99.

Are you part of that number of people paying for online, cloud saves, and NES titles?

I mean, from the 40 games sure SMB would "catch more attention" than the average and constitute more than 1/40 of the total value.

Very true. I personally have a soft spot for Metroid, and I'd presume it'd have a greater value than the average (but possibly by not much). That's definitely really hard to figure, though. *shrug*

LOL! I am not one of them and never will. Therefore, some of those counts are obviously for the people who are banned from jailbreak Switch. No kidding.

Not bad numbers, indeed. Inexpensive service and a few more killer apps will make thos numbers grow.
It just needs one COD or something.
Maybe Metroid Prime will put that to the test.

That's a pretty high number! But considering the most popular games on the Switch are all multiplayer-focused, it really isn't much of a surprise.
