Nintendo Switch Online Service Launches In September

Earlier today Nintendo announced that it will finally launch its paid service for the Switch in September. Apart from this, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was launched back in April 2017, has managed to make a sale of over 7.3 million units.

Metroid Prime 4 is one game a lot of fans are looking forward to seeing more of, even if it is just a trailer.

Indeed, Nintendo’s strategy of releasing several major games in succession was assuredly responsible for much of the console’s success in 2017.

The 3DS is already about to enter its seventh year, but support for it has been slowing down for some time as Nintendo concentrates on the Switch. That’s up from its initial projection to sell 10 million Switch machines, which was raised a year ago to 14 million. However, Nintendo has stated that they may change the titles they initially offer and expand the collection.

As shown, from February onward we will be releasing a wide variety of new software titles one after the next.

The Nintendo Switch sure is doing great. Although Nintendo included a touchscreen on their popular new console, flawless for apps, it’s just not taken advantage of often enough.

Nintendo, as per a latest report, is planning to cross 20 Million sales number for its console of Switch in the upcoming financial year (that will conclude in March 2019).

Profits for the three months ending in December soared 260 percent, to just over $1 billion, beating analyst expectations, Nintendo said on Wednesday. Also, according to a recent Tweet from Takashi Mochizuki of The Wall Street Journal, Nintendo plans to bring “attractive content/programs” to subscribers of the service.

A staggering 7.23 million consoles were sold in the last quarter alone, no doubt boosted by Christmas and Thanksgiving holiday sales, making it Nintendo’s most profitable quarter since 2009.
