- Nintendo's new online format isn't coming until 2018
- The price for the online play and connected smartphone app will be $20/year
- The classic games collection, previously thought to be only playable for one month will actually be playable as long as the user maintains their Nintendo Online subscription
Great news, all around, except for the delay.
$20/year is chump change and is considerably less than either Sony or Microsoft.
The collection being for the lifetime of the subscription is huge news, as this was probably my biggest concern about the new approach.
Nintendo's still got a lot to figure out in the world of online gaming, but hopefully they can figure it out. Although all signs point to 'not anytime soon'
Until next time, kcduckling out.
