What Happens After Cancelling Nintendo Online Subscription?

After cancelling your Nintendo Online subscription, you’ll no longer have access to any of the benefits of the service. This includes online gameplay, cloud saves, and the ability to use any NES or SNES games you’ve downloaded through the service.
