The individual plan's 12-month subscription will go from 2,400 yen to 3,000 yen, a 600 yen increase. The family plan's 12-month subscription will rise from 4,500 yen to 5,800 yen, a 1,300 yen increase. For the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, the 12-month individual plan will increase from 4,900 yen to 5,900 yen, and the family plan from 8,900 yen to 9,900 yen, each a 1,000 yen increase. Shorter individual plans also increase: the 30-day plan goes from 306 yen to 400 yen, and the 90-day plan from 815 yen to 1,000 yen. Subscribers whose automatic renewal payment date falls on or after July 1 will be charged the new rates. However, current subscribers can purchase additional vouchers for the same plan at the current price before the revision to extend their subscription period. The maximum extension is 1,095 days, achieved by purchasing up to three 12-month vouchers. This allows users to lock in the lower rate for up to three years. The extension can be done through the Nintendo eShop, the official Nintendo Store, or by redeeming voucher cards from retailers.","whyItMatters":"The price increase, announced in May, gives subscribers a narrow window to extend their membership at the old rates for up to three years, effectively allowing them to delay the higher costs.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eNintendo announced the price change on May 8, giving subscribers nearly two months of notice before the July 1 effective date. The company\u0026#39;s official support account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a reminder on June 30, the day before the increase took effect.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubscribers can check their next scheduled payment date and current subscription status through the Nintendo Account website or the Nintendo eShop under Account Information → Nintendo Switch Online. If the automatic renewal payment date falls on or after July 1 at 0:00 JST, the system will charge the new, higher rate.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extension option allows current subscribers to buy additional vouchers for the same plan at the old price before the revision. The maximum extension is 1,095 days, achieved by purchasing up to three 12-month vouchers. However, the total subscription period cannot exceed 1,095 days. For example, a subscriber with 30 days remaining can register two 12-month vouchers, then register a third after time passes and the remaining period drops to 730 days.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNintendo also noted that voucher cards sold at convenience stores have a registration deadline of 150 days from purchase. Users must redeem them through the Nintendo eShop within that window.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy extending to the full 1,095 days before July 1, a subscriber on the Individual Plan saves 1,800 yen over three years compared to the new rate.
