The Among Us free trial event runs from July 21–27 on Nintendo Switch
Usually, that realization happens when I’m in the mood to play some random Super Nintendo game and I browse through the wacky list of featured fluff. This paid service hasSuper MetroidandSpanky’s Quest— but noEarthBound? Sure, whatever, Nintendo. You don’tneedto woo me. I’m probably only going to play for a few minutes, anyway.
The other “Oh yeah, I’m paying for this” reminder pops up whenever Nintendo hosts one of its week-long game trials. I rarely have the energy to participate, but I’m always curious to see which games are selected. In this case, it’sAmong Us— a pretty good pick.

Nintendo Switch Online’s week-longAmong Usfree trial starts this Wednesday, July 21 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. If you’re smooth-tongued and street smart enough to stand a chance in this social deception game, have at it — you can evenpre-downloadit now while it’s on your mind.Among Uswill also have a 30 percent discount on the eShop beginning July 21.
For those of you with platform-spanning friend groups,Among Ushas cross-play. And I didn’t realize this before, but you’re able to use aUSB keyboardwithAmong Uson Switch, too.
No matter how big or small the stakes, I suck at lying and deception. These games just don’t fit me. Given their popularity across multiple mediums (people recently redeemed 15 million free copies ofAmong Usfrom the Epic Games Store!), Ifeel likethe odd man out. Maybe one day they’ll click for me and I’ll have my full-on heel-turn moment.
