INTRODUCE A WORTHWHILE ONLINE SYSTEM
The biggest question remaining for the Switch? How will its Online Program and potential virtual console work? We should know more about that in the coming months as our first year of ‘free’ online play for the Switch comes to a close, but the worst thing that could happen is a program that isn’t thoroughly and respectfully designed launched before it’s ready, confusing its new audience in the process. Luckily for us, Nintendo seems to be in the right frame of mind and will hopefully deliver a product that’s worth our extra investment.
The Virtual Console, meanwhile, is still MIA. We have rumors of GameCube games and that the Online Program will replace the VC with free games per month instead, but it’s been too long since we’ve had any concrete information either way. Nintendo would do well to get this monkey off their back as soon as 2018 rolls around, get on with it, and make the fans happy.
