Nintendo is offering free content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that will be available only to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Hot on the heels of adding Steve from Minecraft to Smash, the company is providing even more content for players to access this month.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is getting the Vault Shopper Set 2 bundle through the Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo's subscription service which lets players access a variety of online features and items. This includes free games like Super Mario Bros. 35, as well as others from the NES and Super NES library. The company has previously offered free content packs, including last year's Vault Shopper Set, through the NSO service, and now Nintendo is doing so again.
When the first Vault Set was released it came with 5,000 Gold and three Classic Tickets, which can be used to purchase new Mii costumes, in-game music, and more. The new content in the Vault Shopper Set 2 is 3,000 Gold and five Classic Tickets, the latter of which can be used to wager for more rewards before the start of a run in Classic Mode. This content will only be offered for a limited time through the Switch eShop.
The Vault Shopper Set 2 is only available to users with an active Switch Online membership. It cannot be downloaded while using a free trial of Switch Online, only through a paid subscription. In order to access the new Vault Shopper pack, users will need to visit the Switch eShop and go to the Nintendo Switch Online section. From there, the Vault Shopper Set 2 pack should appear under "Special Offers," and will be available to download alongside other free offers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and games like Super Kirby Clash.
The additional gold and tickets should certainly be useful to both new and pro players in Smash Bros. The new Vault Shopper set adds more incentive for players to use the Nintendo Switch Online service, and access the other benefits it provides for online multiplayer features. By providing more new free content on the NSO service, as well as continuing to add games like Donkey Kong Country 2 to Nintendo Switch Online from past console generations, Nintendo fans may be more apt to pay in.
Whether it's adding more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate content or adding more games from the company's vast library, Nintendo can give users more reason to use the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now for Nintendo Switch.
