Nintendo changes its Switch online service plans, delays paid version to 2018

When it was announced that Nintendo Switch would require a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:paid subscription to access online features, it ruffled some feathers. When the company said that, as part of that subscription, players would get access to one retro ga🧜me per month (access which would then expire at the end of each month), I dare say it ruffled a few more. But plans have changed.
Nintendo Switch Online (which is both what the service does and its proper name) will now be free until 2018. Nintendo hasn't said at what point in 201ജ8 the fee will kick in, but it has at least given us a price: $4 / €4 per month, $8 / €8 per three-month period, $20 / €20 per year.
, "Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will have ongoing access to a library of classic games with added online play. Users can play as many of the games as they want, as often as they like, as long as they have an active subscription."So yeah, it's basically like Netflix, but for Nintendo gam꧟es. NESflix, if you will. It'll launch in♌ 2018 alongside paid service.
Of course, you'll still need to take some extra steps to get 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:voice chat in Splatoon 2, and there's still that rumor of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GameCube Virtual Console hanging around...
