Nintendo Switch Online is landing on Tuesday.

The online service has been confirmed for a September 18 launch date. All users will receive a seven day free trial.

More details about the service will be revealed in the Nintendo Direct tomorrow.

Considering the service's pathetic & inconsistently supported  feature set so far, I find myself echoing the teacher in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure:

"Oh, and Nintendo? That Direct of yours had better be REALLY special."
There was a Signature here. It's gone now.

We still know only 10 of the 20 NES games being "offered" at launch, right? 

I hate admitting it, but i'll probably be biting the bullet and paying for the subscription at launch.  I play just enough MarioKart and Splatoon online to justify the $20/year.

That coupled with Smash Bros in a few months...

I rarely play online, but I’m willing to try Nintendo Switch Online for $20 a year.

My friend is actually going to buy a family account and add on several friends to it which includes me, so I won't actually be paying for it myself. Not with money anyway...

That’s weirdly vague. My mind went to drugs first.

A friend suggested going in on a family account. I passed since I wasn’t sure if my Switch/account can be split from the account holder’s if I ever wanted to just have one on my own in the future.

Know it's Mop it up I presumed the service would be paid for in free house cleaning and floor mopping!

I'll be day one since it's a reasonable price and I really want the cloud saves. I'm also banking on more features coming in the near future. Universal voice chat would be great.

Is this the biggest mistake Nintendo has made since the launch of the Switch?

Not according to the Vice Squad reports I'm reading about her.

Is this due to lack of interest, or another reason?

I strongly prefer local multiplayer because of the social aspect. Having an in-person conversation while playing adds to the shared experience. However, I haven’t lived with my brother in over a decade, and I’m in my mid-30s so most of my friends are too busy making and raising people to be bothered playing games. Is there an OkCupid but exclusively for friends?

I’m aware if I want to play multiplayer games, I’ll have to make do online due to the lack of local options. It’s sometimes difficult because I fit gaming in when I can. I don’t have a set schedule for when I’m available. It’d have to be planned ahead of time, and I’d pencil it in on my calendar. Who does that though? With friends list, people just send a message. I often play at weird hours.

I don’t really like playing against completely anonymous randos. They may as well be CPUs especially if there’s no real interaction. Nintendo has been weird with voice chat which didn’t help things on that end.

Oh this is gonna be a glorious wreck. Excited! I'll probably pay for a year just to see how it pans out. Probably the family plan as well to give my buddies an in just to see.

Also, I've noticed they added 2-factor authentication to the Nintendo Account. I couldn't get it to work though.

You'd think Nintendo would have seen the negative reception they got when they announced this months ago and changed course, added some value to the subscription, so hopefully that's something that gets announced during the direct.

This is going to be a disaster, and in any other context it would be a complete failure. But because it's Nintendo it will still sell.

People want Nintendo to succeed despite nearly two decades of ihavenoideawhatimdoingdog.jpeg when it comes to the internet. I’m setting my expectations extremely low. The price of entry is low enough to try. It’s so weird that we keep giving Nintendo chances. You’re right; it’s “because Nintendo.â€

Not sure, must be a typo.  Has to be talking about the 2DS....but are they still making games for those?

Do you know Nintendo?  They don't reverse course at negative reception.  They just need to keep at it until everyone understands why they were right all along.  Or until the heat death of the universe.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.
