I can't believe Nintendo will just suddenly start charging for online without some game to convince us to pay. I think it would be a cheap and effective way to get us to pay. Also we have been begging for a good Smash game that has good online since 2008. |
I think most people believe that to be the case.
They will need a big name online multiplayer game to really get people to buy into the online subscription. They already blew out two potential pushers with the Mario Kart 8 DX and Splatoon 2, of their own home grown software, a new Smash Bros and maybe Animal Crossing (depending on how they set it up this time) are the only major titles Nintendo could use to push subscription as a must have in the fall of 2018.
There is also the thin possibility they are working with a major third party and will have a Switch port of a major multiplayer game available in the fall. But that is a very thin and unlikely possibility.
