The Nintendo Switch is undeniably a hit, and it's all the more remarkable for achieving that success without a subscription-based online service such as Xbox Live on the Xbox One and PlayStation Network on the PlayStation 4.Image credit: Nintendo
Nintendo does, in fact, eventually plan to launch such a service called Nintendo Switch Online, but according to a page on the official Switch site for Italy, we could be waiting until the autumn of 2018 for it.
Now, before you get your feathers all ruffled, it's possible that the page was all just a mistake. Not long after WCCFTech spotted the date Autumn 2018 date, Nintendo updated the page with a vague "2018" date. Which, of course, means we could see it next month or we could see it in December.
