Ever wondered if you need internet to dive into the world of Nintendo Switch? Let’s figure it out together!

Let’s rephrase this: Is an internet connection a must-have to enjoy Nintendo Switch games?

Short Answer: Not Always

Here’s the deal: You don’t always need the internet to play on your Nintendo Switch. Many of the games are designed to play right out of the box, with no internet required. Think of it like the good old days, just you and the game, no strings (or cables) attached!

However, there are some instances where the internet is your best friend. Updating your games, downloading new ones from the Nintendo eShop, or playing with friends online. For these, yup, you’ll need internet.
