There's no confirmation on whether peer-to-peer (people you're Switch friends with) trading or wonder trading are available without NSO (signs point to it being required), but the GTS isn't in any in-game menu and so has likely just been cut from the games (and from there merged into the upcoming Home app) EDIT: Scratch that, directly from the official SwSh website's trading page: "Membership in the Nintendo Switch Online (paid) service is required to participate in Link Trades and Link Battles using the internet. There’s no need to set up a membership for local communication use." So yes, trading is locked behind NSO. |
I sort of expected this, It makes sense tho from a business perspective. Online trading - and the GTS overall - is part of the "multiplayer" features of the game so to speak and it does seems they just want to squeeze whatever amount of money they can out of this game.
Still... as a player, well, fuck.
