I'm glad they've finally set a time for this to launch. I am a little disappointed that it's going to be delayed about a year from their original goal. I personally don't care too much about the multiplayer in games but am looking forward to hearing more about their classic games. I hope that we can just buy some and they don't do their rotating monthly game that goes away like the initially discussed.

RIP Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online :(

Screw you, paid online! Screw you!!

I guess I don't know what the 'service' is going to be, other than charging for the online features they already have plus a rotating selection of classic games? I'm much more interested in stuff like the SNES Classic for experiencing their classics, since it bypasses the drip-feed of the Virtual Console releases they did for the Wii, then started all over again for the Wii U.

As a new Switch owner, I have to say I am very afraid to invest in Nintendo's Online games. They shut down these features so fast in the past.

Splatoon 2 looks like my kind of game, but right now it feels like a terrible investment.
