Nintendo has officially launched Nintendo Switch Online in the Philippines. At the same time, the Nintendo eShop now supports Philippine peso (PHP) pricing, making it easier for local players to subscribe to services and buy games.

The arrival of Nintendo Switch Online gives Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 owners access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, classic games, and other member benefits. Players can use the service to play supported titles online, including Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A.

Members also get access to a growing library of Nintendo Classics. The collection includes more than 200 games from the NES, Super NES, and Game Boy. On Nintendo Switch 2, subscribers can also use GameChat for voice chat and gameplay screen sharing with friends.

Another welcome change for local users is the shift to PHP pricing on the Nintendo eShop. Filipino players can now browse and purchase games with prices displayed in pesos.

Nintendo is offering several membership options. The standard Nintendo Switch Online plan starts at PHP 149 for 30 days, while longer 90-day and 12-month plans are also available. Families can subscribe through a Family Membership that supports up to eight accounts.

For those who want more content, there’s the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The premium tier adds access to Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and GameCube game libraries on Nintendo Switch 2.
