Ready to share the Nintendo fun with your family or friends? It’s easier than dodging a Blue Shell on Rainbow Road! We'll show you the ropes.
Get Ready to Share the Fun
First things first, you'll need the main account. This is the one that holds the magical Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. Think of it as the key to the Mushroom Kingdom for everyone!
Got your master account ready? Awesome! Now, let’s gather the troops. Make sure everyone you want to add has a Nintendo Account. It’s free to create!
Let's Add Some Players!
Now, head to the Nintendo Account website on your computer or phone. Log in with that powerful main account we talked about.
Look for the "Family Group" section. It might be hiding, but it's usually nestled within your account settings. Keep an eye out!
Once you've found it, click on “Add Member.” The portal to gaming bliss awaits!
You’ll have a choice here. You can either invite someone who is already 16 or older, or create an account for a younger player.
For grown-up gamers, you'll just need their email address. A shiny new invite will be sent their way!
If you're adding a younger player, you'll guide them through the account creation process. Think of it as their official entry into the Nintendo universe.
Accepting the Invite to Adventure
Once you've sent the invite, your friend or family member needs to accept it. They'll find it in their email inbox. It might be hiding in the spam folder, so tell them to double-check!
All they need to do is click the link and follow the instructions. Voila! They're officially part of your Nintendo Switch Online family.
Sharing the Spoils!
Once everyone’s in the family group, they can enjoy all the perks of Nintendo Switch Online. Get ready for some serious multiplayer mayhem!
This means online play in games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The competition is about to get real!
They'll also get access to a treasure trove of classic NES and Super NES games. Relive the glory days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming.
And if you have the Expansion Pack, even more retro goodness awaits! We’re talking Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance titles. Prepare for a nostalgia overload!
Plus, there are exclusive in-game items and deals. It's like finding a Star in Super Mario Bros. – pure awesome!
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
The family group can have up to eight members. That's a whole lot of gaming buddies!
The administrator (that's you, with the main account) can manage the group. You can add or remove members as needed.
Remember to be a good sport and share the love. Gaming is always better with friends and family!
Adding someone to your Nintendo Switch Online family plan is a fantastic way to spread the joy of gaming. So gather your crew, jump online, and get ready for some unforgettable adventures!
Why not check out some of the amazing games available to family members? There’s something for everyone, from racing to puzzling to epic quests!
With a little bit of setup, you'll be creating memories that will last a lifetime. Go forth and conquer the virtual world together!
