Nintendo Switch is coming out on March 3rd. For the first time Nintendo is making a big push into the Online Multiplayer market. This service comes at a cost. Tatsumi Kimishima the president of Nintendo has mentioned that the service will not be free.

Anyone who will want to play online with their friends will have to pay an annual fee of $17 – $24. This fee is surpassingly low compared to Sonys Playstation Network, or Microsoft Xbox Live service which both cost $59.99 annually.

Nintendo has announced that the service will be free until it becomes a paid service later in the Fall this year.
