Big N gives away games for a week of testing
Big N tries to increase the attractiveness of his Nintendo Switch Online subscription program. Hence the idea for Game Trials - a service that allows you to download the full game free of charge and test it for an equal week. Sometimes enough is enough to beat production from A to Z.
Nintendo Switch Online works just like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold. The subscription enables a multiplayer game via the network. The subscription is necessary to play online such titles as Super Mario Maker 2, Minecraft, Wolfenstein Youngblood, Diablo 3, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Splatoon 2. The monthly subscription fee is 16 PLN, while the subscription for the whole year is 80 PLN. There is also a package for 3 months for 32 PLN.
Following PS Plus and Live Gold, subscribers receive free productions from time to time. Only that in the case of Nintendo Switch Online are retro games from the NES console. Next in the queue there will be titles from SNES. Subscribers, however, do not receive modern productions, just like owners of Xbox One or PS4. This is partially changing thanks to the new program included in the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Game Trials will allow subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online to test modern productions on the Switch.

As part of Game Trials, each subscriber can download the game selected by Nintendo on a strictly defined weekdays. The first title that we will download to the Switch's memory is very good Mario Tennis Aces. The game will be available for testing from August 7 to 13. If you like the title, you can buy it in a digital store with a discount of 33 percent. the original price.
The game offered as part of Game Trials is a full product without any blocked modes. At Mario Tennis Aces, we will go on a campaign, as well as take part in network tournaments and home games in front of one console. This is a full game from A to Z, which we get for tests for a specific time. It is worth adding that the progress made in the trial version is transferred to the full product, if we decide to buy it.
Game Trials is undoubtedly not as attractive as games from Plus or Gold.
Subscribers on PlayStation and Xbox consoles receive access to games throughout the entire subscription period (in the case of Live even after it has been extinguished). In turn, Nintendo makes one production available for only one week of testing. To this very specific in the calendar. The difference is so gigantic. Game Trials is more of a demo (although full game) encouraging to buy, than the title given to subscribers as a thank you for monthly expenditure.
It does not change the fact that for the first time in history Nintendo offers contemporary productions as part of the subscription. Earlier, Nintendo Switch Online guaranteed access only to retro games from the NES console. For Big N this is a big step, considering how reluctantly the company lowers the prices of its games and how reluctant to share them for free. Game Trials is pale against the background of WipeOut and Sniper Elite 4 in PS Plus, but from the perspective of those who pay NSO anyway, it can be an interesting addition. A chance to get to know (and even pass) new games in the price of the subscription paid.
