Currently none, haven’t been playing too much on my Switch in general lately. The last big online game for me was Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. Would have played more of that but ended up moving over to the Xbox and PlayStation versions. Also like having the online features of Super Mario Bros. Wonder as well. Need to get back to that game.
Paid online was MS biggest FU to console gamers. Sony and Nintendo has free online until PS4 and Switch.
The thing that kind of kills me about All consoles that charge now, is that I can still play fortnite for free on any of them, and have access to every online mode that it has.

I wasn't aware of that. They must've worked out a deal so Fortnite works like how MMOs do on console; MMOs don't require console online services at all either.
The thing that shits me the most about paid online is that XBL was heads and shoulders above Nintendo and Sony's online. Then Sony and Nintendo both started charging...and their services were just as shit as they were when free. Still were years (a decade later at this point?) the last time I was shameful enough to pay for them. At least when Microsoft were extorting their consumers, they at least tried to give them a solid product.

This. There are games and online modes and shops I can still play or use despite not having paid switch online.
If they can do it, why can't a huge company like Nintendo do it.

Game Pass really is the only service that provides enough value to justify a subscription month after month.
PSA: Just a reminder that the Xbox 360 storefront will be shutting down in late July. Some games are going for pretty cheap right now so if you got an Xbox 360 you might want to take a look and see if there’s any non backwards compatible games you want to get.
Been playing Elden Ring DLC which is every bit as fantastic as the base game. If you love ER get it now! If not there isn't anything new here, it's even harder. It feels like it's FROM at the top of their game, I am loving ever second.
which leads me to the online service talk, that game is about the only online stuff I play on PS. I just have it on PS cause I don't want to lose features on many games. Nintendo isn't a tough buy cause it's so cheap, I'll use it for leaderboards in the Nintendo championship game. It's ridiculous we have to pay for this but it's where we are.

Guess cause they want more money.
Really want Luigi's Mansion but I will wait. Anyone picking it up?
Should have included the original to justify the price.
Still haven’t picked up or played a Luigi’s Mansion game. Not that I don’t think they look good though. Too many other games to buy and play for me.
All are great to me (like Pikmin) but tge first is the most charming (like Pikmin).

Only one I want is Batman: Arkham Origins and its not available digitally.
Yeah, not too sure if there’s much left for me from the 360 that’s not backwards compatible either.
