What's new with Nintendo Switch Online in April 2021?

As for what is new on Switch Online, we don't get a fresh batch of games on the regular anymore, which is a shame, and so we don't have a list of what games, if any, will be added to the service this month. We'll be keeping our ears to the ground though and if we hear of any we'll get this page updated with all the information you need.

Don't have Nintendo Switch Online yet? Well, you can take advantage of the 7-day free trial for the Nintendo Switch Online club, which is more than enough time to complete a few of the classic NES and SNES titles. Don't forget to turn auto-renew off though if you do only want it for the one week, though.
