That’s my worry. After reading reviews of PayDay 2 and its complete lack of voice chat, a game which can’t do without it, it’s a long wait until September. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Reviews are up. NintendoLife gave it a solid 7 as did another. Has some slowdown in large intensive areas, but runs pretty well. No voice chat??? Discord is the way. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I’m interested in getting it, but waiting for reviews, the embargo ends today so they should be along soon. I’m not worried about updates to content, it just has to perform well, FPS, etc. Looks like fun overall. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

The messaging is not being pushed through the console in a systematic way. From memory we've received a news channel message, upon start-up of the Switch, stating what Nintendo said during the pre-release Direct. Nothing since. However, every game, purchased in the eShop or Retail, has a disclaimer on the back of the box stating that ambiguous notion I quoted earlier in the thread. But, it's there on every online enabled game I have so far, stating there is a free trial for online features until the inception of the paid service. Looking at the back of the Resident Rev's box (I got the US version) it says "Nintendo Account and paid subscription may be required for some network services and features, including online gaming. Not available in all countries. Visit Nintendo.com/switch-online."

If you visit the eShop or Nintendo's own website and select an online game, like Splatoon 2, and scroll down to the starred conditions, they all state this "**Internet connection required during online play. The registration and linkage of Nintendo Account and acceptance of the Nintendo Account Agreement and Privacy Policy are required. Online services require a Nintendo Account. Starting this autumn, some online services will also require a paid subscription. Paid online service availability may be limited based on location. Find out more about the paid online subscription service." I should imagine this will extend to everything, but some online services??? What worries me is the penultimate sentence, Paid online service availability may be limited based on location. Why is this a thing? The Switch is now a basically region free machine, don't start bringing in European services only available is your ISP is based in Europe. I hope not.
