You’ll get access to all the non-paid subscriber bonuses, plus online gameplay, lobbies and the voice chat app. Along with all that, paid subscribers will get a special monthly game download and exclusive deals.
Nintendo released the following statement regarding the monthly game deal:
Subscribers will get to download and __play a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.

When the Switch isn’t docked and connected to your TV, its battery lasts from 2-and-a-half-hours to 6-and-a-half-hours.
