I see that Hynad has already addressed this =) Yes, this is assumptions, but it's also based in pasted Nintendo behavior. I hope this'll be a great service, or that it'll be a lower priced one, but with what little information we have it doesn't look good.

Nintendo partnered with DeNA, so there is a reasonable chance for a major overhaul.

Yeah, I guess that's the only silver lining with this online debacle; Nintendo isn't doinf it themselves. But the service in and of itself doesn't sound great actually; you need a second smart device to voice chat and invite people for game sessions, what's up with that? That's just stupid; you should be able to do that with you console. The second issue is the whole "rent a S/NES game for a month", which isn't instilling faith either. That's two big issues with their new online service, and all we have to go by right now is that and the fact that it'll be a paid service - Nintendo isn't off to a great start on this one to be honest. So while the service might work just fine, it might still end up being a bad one. That, or Nintendo made a piss poor job of conveing their entire sale pitch.
