Nintendo just took to Twitter to reveal that their paid online service for Nintendo Switch will launch in late September. Previously, we’d only been told that it would come in September, after being delayed for more than a year.
The paid online service will allow us to continue using online services, will introduce save data cloud backups (YAY) and will also give us 20 NES titles with online play.
It was expected that Nintendo would launch something alongside the release of their paid online service, as it’d just be weird to turn over to it being paid overnight, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to be the case.
#NintendoSwitchOnline will launch in the second half of September. The service provides access to online play & Save Data Cloud backup in compatible games and a growing library of NES titles with added online play.https://t.co/74Hzxk9spt pic.twitter.com/JtNgmjnilE
