I'm not a big indie game fan and they are pretty much available on every format due to their low technical requirements. I like the big ambitious games like Zelda. I'm guessing that there won't be enough online games to justify paying for an online service, I could be wrong but I suspect the majority won't pay for it.

A lot of games on Nintendo platforms in the last few years have solid online, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Pokemon, Mario Maker, Monster Hunter, Pokken Tournament, Yokai Watch, Luigi's Mansion, Kid Icarus, Runbow, Fast Racing Neo, Final Fantasy Explorers, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong but my wii u online experience was generally low numbers available except for mario kart so often you couldn't get a game. The online subscription service is likely to thin down these numbers even more. That was the only free online service too so every wii u owner could play online and actually use it in preference to other consoles where they might not have an online subscription with. I honestly can see the few people subscribing still struggling to find people online for games which would mean quick cancellations of their subscription service. No way are Nintendo ready for this. They need more than just mario kart and splatoon as major online titles to justify an online subscription. I've got a wii u collection of games of about 25-30 and no way could I justify paying for online for that.
