  • Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
    • GoldenEye 007 – Enter a world of espionage as Bond when GoldenEye 007 sneaks into the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library. Your covert operation to stop the GoldenEye weapon satellite spans the globe – you’ll infiltrate underground bases, charge through a military train and slink around the depths of a jungle. Along the way, M will brief you on your objectives and Q Branch will support your efforts with an array of gadgets, but the ultimate success of this mission is yours alone. Save the day, then go for the gold in spy-vs-spy action locally* or online in the four-player multiplayer mode and enjoy round after round of first-person competitive action. GoldenEye 007 begins its mission on Nintendo Switch for players with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership on Jan. 27.

But that’s nothing everyone’s favorite sponge can’t handle – with the right cosmic costume! Everybody do the Cosmic Shake! SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake will be available on Jan. 31.
    • OddBallers – Bend your knees, thrust your hips and gather your best frenemies – it’s time for an intense dose of hard-hitting, multiplayer dodgeball action!

Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch family of systems, Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in any Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Account.
