Whether that means more games coming to the NES selection or branching out to different consoles is unknown. Earlier in the report, Nintendo was asked how it would be employing the recently popular subscription-based business models other companies have taken to and Furukawa responded, “Nintendo’s policy is that we will consider whether each product we offer is suited to a subscription model as we expand our business in the future.” That could mean different subscriptions for different consoles, but it’s likely a deflection as Nintendo is satisfied with what Switch Online offers.
I can’t say I’m all that satisfied with paying for lackluster online on Switch, but the relatively inexpensive price does excuse some of Nintendo’s shortcomings. I do hope that the 10 million figure doesn’t make Nintendo rest on its laurels, because so much more could be done with Switch Online that would make it a no-brainer purchase.
