Nintendo has announced the Mega Multiplayer Festival, a season of multiplayer-themed events running throughout August.
The proceedings kick off today with the Mega 12 + 2 promotion, adding an extra two months onto all 12-month Nintendo Switch Online memberships purchased between 1st August and 8th September. Those who pick up any year-long membership within this period will receive a code for an additional two months, bagging a whopping 14 months of online play for £17.99 (or your regional equivalent). Not too shabby, eh?
And the Mega Multiplayer Festival celebrations don't end there. The Mega Gold Points Promotion runs from 5th-18th August, offering additional Gold Points on selected eShop purchases throughout the event (an extra 20% for NSO members and 10% for everyone else). Then there's the Mega Free Games Trial period from 19th-25th, where NSO subscribers will be able to play four full games for free during the week's availability — the free game lineup is set to be revealed soon.
Finally, there's the Mega Multiplayer Sale to look forward to from 26th August to 8th September. This will bring discounts to hundreds of co-op, party and online multiplayer titles across the eShop.
Lots to look forward to for those with a European eShop account. That's not to say that our friends across the pond are missing out, mind you, with the 'Play Together' sale currently bringing plenty of multiplayer discounts until 11th August.
Will you be using this NSO deal? Which event are you looking forward to the most in the Mega Multiplayer Festival? Let us know in the comments.

Do memberships stack?Could I add it onto my existing 12 months which is probably about half way done
@Roibeard64 They do. They tend to have some kind of offer every year around this time and I used it last year to extend mine.
Extended my NSO + Expansion Pack Family for a year using a code from ShopTo for £43 (instead of £59.99). Hopefully it'll still count and I'll get the extra 2 months email.
So , when you renew 1 year NSO family subscription between 5 and 8th August you get 20 % back in gold coins for it ?
@Late cheers good to know
@Gavintendo hopefully it works because if it does that's probably best deal you will get for nso.
Nice, if I can I'll definitely renew my annual Family Membership (which I share with my friends) for NSO + Expansion Pack within this period to get two extra months then!
@JimNorman “The Mega Gold Points Promotion runs from 5th-8th August, offering additional Gold Points on all eShop purchases”
The link you provided at the bottom states that this runs from the 5th to the 18th, not the 8th. Additionally, it says ‘selected’ eShop purchases, not ‘all’.
“Then there's the Mega Free Games Trial period from 18th-25th”
Again, the link states that this begins on the 19th, not the 18th.
Don't really see much of a need to renew right now (my current sub runs out at the end of October I'm pretty sure) but its a nice promotion to have all the same.
Honestly though, those Game Trials are what interest me a hell of a lot more because I don't think we've ever had multiple running at once before? Super interested in seeing what those games could end up being 👀
Might have to update mine a month early to get some extra gold points!
I am not in Europe, but of course this comes out after I spend $60 a few hours ago.
If it comes over to the US I could have gotten 20% in Gold Coins instead of 5% 😞
Nintendo eShop is currently running an online membership offer of extra 2 months for any 12 month membership. To take advantage of this I've just bought 12 month membership via eShop but the expiry date is only 12 months from today?
Checked my emails & there's nothing there except payment receipt
@BillyB t+c's state 'A bonus code for an additional two-month Nintendo Switch Online membership will be sent via email within 72 hours of purchase'
@step_over
Thanks for your help & pointing that out. I confirm that I've now received email & redeemed code to extend my membership by 2 months.
Redeemed a code for 12 months a week ago, still haven't received my bonus 2 months email. Nice of them to not tell people that code redemptions seemingly don't count for the promo.
It did state "purchase any 12 month membership...", so I feel misled.
