Nintendo also announced that all players will be able to try online functions for free, but the Switch is going to have some kind of paid service as well. Additionally, the system will not be region locked. We also found out a bit more about the control modes of the Switch. You can display the system on the TV via the dock, or play the handheld tablet. Up to eight tablets can be linked at one time for co-operative play.

The Switch will also have some kind of video capture featured, that can be used in conjunction with the Joycon controllers.
