Nintendo Switch - Online

If I get a Switch, can I play games with my grand kids 1700 miles away?

Thanks. I assumed it was a "Game Boy" type device.

Yes - but, you have to pay a yearly or monthly subscription fee; https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/?cid=A1005-01:ch=pdpd

And, your grandkids need to pay for their own sub fee as well.

Would olds be able to do a family group subscription? If the grandkids don't have NES Online the family subscription is $34.99 a year and is supposed to cover the online fee for 8 accounts. As opposed $19.99 a year for a single account. Though I wonder if it's allowed for people not all in the same residence.

Also, you'll get access to a lot of free NES and SNES games with your subscription.
