Apart from introducing the Switch expansion pack, we only have information about one game, Pokemon Snap. The game came out on 30th April, allowing fans to try their hand at another classic. Rest, the company is focusing on adding more and more titles to its expansion pack as it can prove to be the next big thing. 

During a conference call, they said, ‘the number of Nintendo switch online expansion pack members is steadily increasing, and its share among the overall Nintendo switch online subscriber base is gradually expanding. By region, the ratio is especially high in the United States.’ This steady increase in users became possible because of the exclusive Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing DLC.
