Mario Day is almost upon us (10th March - MAR10, get it??) and Nintendo is wasting no time with getting the celebrations underway. Those who want to make the most of the calendar event of the year can now pick up a 14-day Nintendo Switch Online trial for free.
This offer will be sticking around until 18th March at 6am GMT / 5am CET / 1am ET / 11:59pm (17th March) PT and grants you access to all of the features of a standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription. As well as getting involved in online play, you will also be able to hit up the entire NES, SNES and Game Boy NSO libraries.
Oh, and the best part? You can use this free trial even if you have redeemed one before.
To get involved, simply head over to the My Nintendo Store and redeem the free 14-day NSO trial for a nice, round 0 Platinum Points. Then, enter your code in the relevant section of the eShop to begin the trial. This offer is only available to those in North America at the time of writing.
Remember, the free trial will click over into an auto-renewing one-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online after 14 days unless auto-renewal is turned off — make sure to check your settings if you don't want to pay up once the two weeks are over.
Will you be getting involved with this free trial? Let us know in the comments.

They should also extend every subscriber’s subscription by 2 weeks.
Error Code 9001-0141
You currently have an active individual membership (no Expansion Pack) or family membership (no Expansion Pack), so you cannot redeem this product.
@Zach777 Why? A current customer already paid for their subscription and is using their time. This is just a trial to get new customers.
It should be noted that after this 14 day free trial ends, you are automatically enrolled at 3.99 per month. "Additionally, your subscription can be changed by purchasing a subscription with a different term." I am not exactly sure how that part works, but be aware that if you don't turn off automatic renewal before the trial ends, you will be auto enrolled in the least cost effective version of the membership.
As much hate as NSO gets, the family expansion pack is a fantastic deal if you have friends to share the cost with. NSO is the only subscription service which I have, and it works out to be cheaper than any Netflix or Disney+ subscription to fill entertainment needs.
There's a bazillion games on there I want to play I'm sure I won't even get to by the time the service shuts down. Bang for the buck and keeps me interested to see new games released because I definitely have my hopes up to see some eventually!

I realize what it’s for.
Just saying it would be a cool gesture of them to extend every paying subscriber by 2 weeks, that’s all.
Having the extra traffic of non paying customers for 2 weeks may effect current subscribers experiences.
Switch emulator? What Switch emulator? You mean our NSO apps that let you play a pitiful amount of our legacy catalogue? Look at this, avert your gaze from the other headlines about us, nothing to see here, no siree!
@KayFiOS Yes how very generous of them to let me rent 30 year old games for two weeks that my phone already runs while upscaled to look 8x better than on NSO.
That said, redeemed mine and turned off auto renew so I can go get my butt beat on Smash online a little at least. So glad f2p games don't require a BS subscription service to use online like we live in 2001 still.
