Buy wii switch if you have to pay money every month?

So I know that you buy a console and a game and then you don't have to pay a membership somewhere permanently. I mean what if I don't touch the switch for a month? Then I pay money unnecessarily or it is a lot of work every time until I can play again?! I would like to get a switch but I don't understand why the Nintendo account is mandatory… And why I have to go for it… There are bundles that I would actually like to have bought but they work with code. And apparently I have to pay money to redeem this code. Or did I misunderstand something?

You don't have to be online,

otherwise you don't have to pay a cent. I also have a switch and pay garnix

I also have a nintendo account, but you have to pay for membership to play online, that's it

Lo

The Nintendo Account doesn't cost you a tired penny. But yes it is required to access the Nintendo Store and other platform related services.

What is the subscription to use the online functions of the games? And that has been paid for on Playstation and Xbox for many years.

You can easily buy the console and games (also via the online store) and use them as you like without further payments.

You have to use each console to use the online functions.
Even with Nintendo, membership itself does not cost money, only online access costs money.

You can of course use games purchased online, their downloads and uploads without having to pay any money.

Of course you can also buy the premium membership as you see fit and in return for Playstation Plus I find the prices really humane!

1 month / 30 days: 3.99 euro
3 months / 90 days: 7.99 euro = 2.66 euro per month
12 months / 365 days: 19.99 euro = 1.64 euro per month (30 days)

So it doesn't cost much, especially the annual membership is quite cheap and in the long run cheaper than the monthly membership, which would cost almost 48 euro a year! Accordingly, it would make no sense to pay monthly depending on usage.

PS:

Buy wii switch

How long has the console been called Wii Switch?
There's only a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo Switch, but no Wii Switch.

To redeem the code you need a Nintendo Account but on the internet you have to pay a membership monthly

Ever since I accidentally wrote it like this. Forgiveness.

You can create a Nintendo Account without membership.
The other is just the premium status for your account.

A Nintendo Account is free of charge.

Most games require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online, which costs money and offers a few other small advantages in addition to the possibility to play online. However, such a subscription is in no way a prerequisite for using the switch. Downloads of digitally acquired games as well as updates and news also work without a subscription.
