Terrible. I wonder if they'll throw in free games to make it "great value" just like the other two services.
Which is why they're having a free trial.
People aren't going to pay on top of those subscriptions for Nintendo's mediocre at best services.
Paid online without the third party games to back it up? Lmao. Will wait to see how Nintendo faithful react after dragging everyone else for the same thing.
I'm disappointed.Monster Hunter, yo
Literally the only reason I'm interested in the Switch is to play MH on a console. Now I gotta pay for the online? Fuck you Nintendo
Valve is still the chosen one for free online.Xbox Live and PS+ is enough. This is the one area where Nintendo was the chosen one, but they even fucked that up.
Just realized I have to pay to play Pokemon online now.
The point of free trials are to give people a sample of your product in an attempt to make them want to buy it so I do get how you can say "no".No. Everyone has a free trial because it's just fucking ethics.
Nintendo games never have online multiplayer anyways so I don't care.

Many of those who use the Switch as their primary system will, though.
Wonder if I will still get a free trial after not being able to find one for months.
The problem for Nintendo is that that number has been going down dramatically across generations. I guess the point of the Switch was to fix that by merging the two markets together so that they can focus on both properly, but paid online on a system they need to succeed in a market with competitors with similar market strategies is not the way to do that.
If people suddenly start being vocal about this but continue to pay for PS+ and Xbox Live you are all drinking a large vat of irony.

Doesn't invalidate their arguments though.
Everybody accepted psn and xbl charges.This is bogus. I can't imaging what they are thinking.
Yeah, maybe if we pay for it, they might actually idk, make if better. Sony's got better since they started charging (imo) Xbox has always been great with LIVE (imo) because they been charging from the start.Difference is that Nintendo has an atrocious track record when it comes to an online service.
Will Pokémon be subject to this even? If so I guess they'll be rolling in dough. But this move cements online gaming as dead for me cause I'm not paying up for something I've barely ever used in the first place.

Pc gamers are the only ones who didn't just accept it.
