Splatoon 2 launched last year (summer) with the online app before the paid version in fall. (obviously it was delayed) I can see Smash being the same. They could launch it together with the paid online or launch it a month or two before the paid online. (as a server test) |
But thats a point, last year there was not paid online, and now we know that paid online is coming in September, so Nintendo will most likly launch big online game alongside paid online to push easier paid online.
