If you were hoping to get your hands on the classic NES controllers revealed during last week's Nintendo Direct, then you need to be a subscriber to the soon-to-launch Switch Online service.

As a way to put more eyes on the New Super Mario Bros., series the Big 'N' decided to re-release the Wii U version of the game.

With the Nintendo Switch Online service nearly ready to go live, Nintendo is encouraging its customers to make sure their accounts are in order before being locked to devices next week.

The Nintendo Switch Online service is set to go live next week, but you'll be able to try things out for free before deciding to commit.

The Nintendo Direct scheduled for this evening has been delayed, with the publisher citing a recent earthquake in Hokkaido as the cause.

The cloud save feature seems great in concept, but in execution not every game will be able to make use of it.
