Nintendo announced two of the Nintendo Switch Online exclusive offers that will only be available to people with paid subscriptions. One is a pair of Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers that will work with the Nintendo Switch’s enhanced NES games. Another is a download code for Splatoon 2 in-game gear.

The Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers will arrive in a two-pack. For $59.99, you get a pair with rechargable batteries that can attach to your Nintendo Switch to charge when not in use. They will be $59.99 for a pair, and you can only get it if you have a Nintendo Switch Online individual or family membership. You can only get one pair per Nintendo Account. They will ship around the middle of December 2018.

The Splatoon 2 in-game gear is a free download code for people who purchase a 12-month Nintendo Switch individual or family membership. Those people will get an email in early October 2018 with a code for an Online Jersey and Online Squidkid V Shoes.

Nintendo Switch Online launches on September 18, 2018.
