Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Switch Online service will officially kick off on April 23, 2019 in South Korea and Hong Kong.
While the service offerings are similar to that of other countries, there are a few differences here and there.
First, here’s the pricing:
South Korea
Individual
1 month: 4900 KRW
3 months: 9900 KRW
12 months: 19900 KRW
Family
12 months: 37900 KRW
Hong Kong
Individual
1 month: HKD25
3 months: HKD65
12 months: HKD155
Family
12 months: HKD295
While Nintendo Switch Online offers the same access to online multiplayer and Save Data Cloud Backup to residents living in South Korea and Hong Kong, those in South Korea will have access to Nintendo Switch Online: Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), while those in Hong Kong will have access to Nintendo Switch Online: Family Computer (Famicom) instead. This makes Hong Kong the second region in the world to have access to the Famicom version.
That said, Hong Kong is the only Nintendo Switch Online country in the world which will not be able to purchase the official NES/Famicom controllers for Nintendo Switch. Special Offers for each territory as follows:
South Korea
Tetris 99
NES Controllers for Switch (ability to purchase)
Exclusive Splatoon 2 in-game gear
Hong Kong
Tetris 99
Exclusive Splatoon 2 in-game gear
