Nintendo Switch Will Have Paid Online After Free Trial - Switch Event
No details on what exactly that online system will entail, whether Miiverse will be a part of this, or how similar it will be to rival platforms PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live, but all Nintendo Switch users will be able to access the online infrastructure for free until sometime in Fall 2017.
Additional details Kimishima revealed include smartphone connectivity, which allows mobile devices to link to the Switch for various unspecified reasons. Also, the Nintendo Switch will be region free, allowing players from all over the globe to purchase and import games from any country.

I most likely wouldn't really use the online features if it was free anyways. No big deal for me.

another pathetic move.
People: Give us something like xbox that has actually good graphics and long gameplay time!
Nintendo: Okay
Nintendo: *does little or no improving*
Nintendo: Have this console thats dirt cheaply made for $300 and also pay for certain online functionality lel.

redbaby92 I personally think this is a bad move for Nintendo. The paid model for Xbox and PS4 is fair due to the competitive nature of the games available on the platforms. Nintendo is in a completely different economy.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Nothing about an online service has anything to do with competitive gaming. Think, Netflix, or being able to communicate with friends.

competitive nature has nothing to do with the service. They charge for their online service because they can and it is the norm for consoles. Good way to keep those nice profits going.
However I agree it's a bad move by nintendo. I also think the price point of the whole console is too much. $300 for a handheld console/device that can run on a tv seems a bit much.
