‘Compilation’ of classic titles
Nintendo has finally solidified the details on its online service, now dubbedNintendo Switch Online. The pricing comes in with different tiers: one month for $3.99, three months for $7.99, and 12 months for $19.99. In addition to that, it looks like the free service will run until at least the end of 2017, as the website mentions a 2018 launch date.
The wording on one aspect is very interesting, though. In italicized print, the website mentions, “After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo to play online.” Does that mean we’ll get getting free-to-play games launching on the Switch?
At the bottom of the page, we also get a mention that this service will be available for people in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Is Nintendo staggering launching the service in other regions? I wonder what the reason would be for that?
