I got it at launch. I mostly play on my Switch so I get online every now and then for some multiplayer games.
 
I've never had a subscription. My sister offered to add me to her plan, but I just don't game enough on the switch.
 
I’ve been a member for NSO for almost five years now. But I switched to a family plan two years I started my NSO subscription.
 
Iirc I think I got it more or less when I got my switch. I think I remember a short time without it but I’ve had it for the majority
 
I checked yesterday, 3 years, 11 months, 10 days. Which is crazy to think about, really. Time passes so quickly. Every day I’m thankful that it’s not ridiculously expensive like Xbox live or whatever but the fact I have to pay for it is a little ridiculous. If a game feature needs online to work, online should be included, IMO.
 
i've had NSO for 2 years, 6 months and 27 days. i've got an individual base membership for animal crossing: new horizons for whenever i need to trade or invite a villager to my island from someone!! it's so much cheaper than playstation's online too which i'm pretty glad about 😅

my subscription ended on the 25th. i don't play new horizons as much as i used to so i doubt i'll renew the subscription in the near future. changed the vote to 3 years (+ 2 months, unsure on the number of days).
 
Since the very beginning, so far! At least at the current prices, it's far too reasonable with a 8-way family subscription to be bothered with cancelling and resubscribing when needed. Would not surprised to see a price increase with Switch 2 though, so that might change the calculation.

Fortunately for me, my partner and I lucked out and some friends of ours offered to add us to their family plan years ago. So we’ve had free NSO for quite some time!

I do but do you have it? You can play online with friends and get special perks with it! I mainly use it to play Super Mario Wonder online.

My brother and I have a family plan that we’ve shared since it has been available. We definitely share things on AC and it’s helpful because we live in different places. And occasionally there are some other games where online play is helpful! (Mario Kart for example). We’ve always stuck with the basic tier. The extra games are nice, but we have copies of them and the older systems they are on! And we have such a backlog of other games to get through anyway, it didn’t seem worth it.

I've had the nintendo switch online family membership plan for just over 5 years at this point. Even though I don't use my switch regularly anymore, I offer friends / family access to my plan so that they don't have to worry about paying / forgetting to cancel if they stop using their switch. It's nice too because it's super cheap so I could forget about it entirely and it wouldn't put a dent into my wallet.

i've been subbed for 5 years now but i'm part of my friend's friend's family plan. i wouldn't get it by myself, it's too expensive and i don't like subs.

I think I’ve had it since the day it came out. I play Splatoon 2 & 3 and other games that require online

I think we had ours for 3 years?? There was more than one of us on the plan, so that is why it lasted as long as it did.
 
Since I got my Switch in 2021. The basic plan is all I need. It's cheap and many of my games have online features I use. The emulators are fun too. So it's worth it to me and I would probably only cancel if I completely stopped playing Switch someday.
 
I believe I got it at the same time that I got my Switch since I wanted to do online play for Animal Crossing. I also really like being able to play N64 games and other old console games through the expansion pass. I'm really glad that I have it and I will probably continue to be subscribed.
 
I will be approaching 5 years soon...not that I care but it is something I am starting to wonder if I still need...
 
i think i'm a year ish now? i don't actually play my switch much these days so i might cancel again soon lol.
