I wonder which games won't be requiring the online fee to play them online since it says "most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online."

Animal Crossing?

I don't think Nintendo has done a good job at all at making this service seem like it's even worth $1. Hopefully this "trial" rectifies that, though I wonder what features will be missing until the pay-time comes.

Also, I hate when Nintendo just gives a general year. Everyone is expecting Q1 when it will probably be delayed until Q4, and that's not a good thing when this whole mess comes off so bare bones as it is.

EDIT: Also, didn't we know it would be $20 for months? That's what the japanese price revealed/leaked months back implied.

You mean you don't crave paying 20 bucks to play Splatoon in it's intended state?  The sound of playing games that are literally-no hyperbole-not even exaggerating- 30 years old doesn't incite you?  Some people man I swear.

As for that smartphone app... I get it.  They want to have a way to do portable voice chat - maybe they're expecting people to tether their Switch and the voice app to their smartphone's data plan to play "wherever".  It's a neat idea but if those Hori images tell the tale, it's just as awful as this Nintendo Online service.
