Coming from Nintendo's investor Q&A...

Question: My question is about Nintendo Switch usage. I can see how releasing new titles like TETRIS® 99 will increase use of the hardware, but Iʼd like to know if you've had any success implementing measures to raise engagement rates with software that has already been released.

Answer Furukawa: TETRIS® 99 has helped maintain Nintendo Switch engagement, as well as increase the number of new members joining Nintendo Switch Online. And when we add new titles to Nintendo Entertainment System ‒ Nintendo Switch Online, one of the services available to Nintendo Switch Online members, we see consumers returning to play on Nintendo Switch. As for individual titles, we released the first add-on content just the other day for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, to give one example. The release of add-on content and updates like this is proven to raise engagement rates again that may have temporarily dropped.
