Jakyl25 08/07/19 1:57:26 PM #1:	As the anniversary of Switch Online approaches and they have to convince the original subscribers to renew, Nintendo has rolled out a new feature: Free Full Game trials For a full, pre-scheduled week you can download and play whatever game they put up, and if you decide to purchase it, your progress will carry over. The first game theyre doing this with is Mario Tennis Aces, which is up for the next week as of today. No word on how often they will do these trials yet. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:925753279] in New Switch...

Xiahou Shake 08/07/19 2:31:15 PM #7:	Mario Maker 2 is the only real engagement I've had with Nintendo's online service and it's thoroughly convinced me that they don't deserve any money for it. Lag, baffling exclusion of common sense features and laughably bad friend integration would be frustrating even if this was free (which it is for me atm), forget actually paying for it. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:925754976] in New Switch...

They also did it even more recently with Mario Tennis Aces, or at least I already had a "Special Online Demo" installed on my Switch that I never played that I downloaded some time between then and now. Not sure if that differs any from what they're letting people play for free now. <cite>theawesomestevr posted [p:925766220] in New Switch...
