Both cost <strong>400 platinum points<\/strong>, but one of them is limited to those with a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the regular &#8216;My Nintendo&#8217; calendar, this one features some pretty standard key art from some of Nintendo&#8217;s top franchises and games, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/mario-kart-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mario Kart World<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/metroid-prime-4-beyond-nintendo-switch-2-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metroid Prime 4: Beyond<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/donkey-kong-bananza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pikmin_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pikmin 4<\/a>. We don&#8217;t know about you, but we always look at our birthday months and see if the corresponding image is &#8216;worthy&#8217; enough, and we&#8217;re pretty happy, to be honest!<\/p>\n<p>The NSO exclusive is more focused on retro imagery and focuses on games featured in the Nintendo Classics catalogue. These include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/virtualboy\/teleroboxer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teleroboxer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/super_mario_64\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Mario 64<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/metroid_fusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metroid Fusion<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/legend_of_zelda_ocarina_of_time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, for us, the retro NSO calendar just about edges the regular My Nintendo variant, but only just. Both are pretty cool, even if we&#8217;re not completely sold on the fact that the calendars are made up of separate pieces of cardboard lodged into a basic stand.
