Nintendo Switch Online (or NSO) is Nintendo's subscription-based online play service providing online multiplayer and other varyingly-useful perks, that's also required to use online functionality for other games (with some exceptions).
Perhaps most notable for being the very type of subscription that Satoru Iwata didn't want Nintendo to do.
Additionally the service includes a line of various old games via emulation called Nintendo Classics which includes emulators that were developed for their mini consoles.
