One of the biggest surprises of Nintendo's Switch presentation was the reveal of a paid online service. Nintendo is the last console platform to charge its users for online functionality, holding out many years longer than PlayStation and Xbox. That'll change when the Switch releases on March 3, 2017.
Now that the event is over, Nintendo has had a chance to elaborate about what this subscription service entails. Nintendo has outlined a lot of the details on this page (except the program's name and how much it'll cost).
Maybe the most interesting tidbit is that paying members will get a monthly NES or SNES game included as part of the subscription fee. It's similar to Xbox's Games with Gold and PlayStation's PS Plus bonuses, except it seems that Nintendo is keen to rely on decades' worth of classics to keep consumers interested.
