Nintendo definitely has the most reasonable pricing for online gaming/services.  

For starters, online gameplay will be free until the service launches in 2018.  After that, expect to pay to access online multiplayer.  The pricing for it is $4 for 1-month, $8 for 3 months, and $20 for the year.  Along w/ multiplayer, you’ll get eShop deals to save $$$ off of new games purchased digitally.  This also includes access to their classic games from their back catalog as well for games like Super Mario Bros 3, Balloon Fight, & Dr. Mario to name a few.  

Expect to see an early look at the software this summer as a Switch smartphone app alongside the gaming service next year.  This will allow you invite friends to games, set up sessions, or chat w/ friends while gaming on their 2nd screens. 

So who’s interested in Nintendo’s multiplayer service?
