EDIT - There is a restriction on NES games:  https://gonintendo.c...p-to-seven-days

NES games can only be played offline for up to seven consecutive days before you must reconnect online.  This is supposedly to deter those on a family plan from dropping members at will and the dropped members keeping the NES games without paying.

Nintendo posted an updated FAQ about Nintendo Switch Online:  https://gonintendo.c...itch-online-faq

And the iOS version of the NSO mobile app is now updated to match the Android version:  https://gonintendo.c...ailable-for-ios

...So we've got a new fighter.

That's right.  The secretary has been promoted from being an Assist Trophy in 4!

So it's been well over a year, but at long last we have a launch day for NSO premium.  September 18th, 2018.  There will be a 7-day free trial available at service start.

You can view the official website for all the details about the soon-to-launch service:  https://www.nintendo...online-service/

The game will have online play, but what type(s) that will consist of is unknown at the moment.
