The base tier of Nintendo Switch Online currently retails for £17.99 / €19.99 / $19.99 per year for an Individual Membership, while a Family Membership is £31.49 / €34.99 / $34.99. So the Expansion Pack jump is around double the price of the original. 

Nintendo has also confirmed that the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack release date is October 25.

For that enhanced subscription tier,  Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will add digital collections of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis for members. 

However, it's also now been confirmed that the Expansion Pack tier will also include exclusive access to the paid Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise DLC.
