Each major gaming platform has its own subscription service, giving players additional bonuses such as access to games and other benefits for a monthly fee. Xbox has Game Pass, PlayStation has the new PlayStation Plus and Nintendo Switch offers the Nintendo Switch Online program. While Nintendo’s service isn’t on par with the other two on PlayStation and Xbox, it does give you access to some of the best retro games of all time – even more so if you have the Expansion Pack upgrade, which includes N64 and Sega Genesis- games, along with DLC packs for select Switch titles. Included with the basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription is the ability to play online, plus access to NES and SNES games.

Whether you’re a basic member or have upgraded to the expansion pack, there are plenty of great games to enjoy through Nintendo’s subscription. But which are the best?

These are the best games on Nintendo Switch Online.
