What exactly is Nintendo offering to justify this online fee?
Nevertheless, to fans of Splatoon or Super Smash Bros, it will feel like a tax that they haven't had to pay before. Nintendo is perfectly right to charge for the online functionality and updates it has been giving its audience for free since the Switch was released. The Switch Online service was actually off to a strong start with more than eight million subscribers, but it has always struggled with its value proposition in the eyes of consumers and the media. Nintendo fans are very excited about a new Zelda What makes the game significant, outside of its quality, is that it's really the first standalone reason to subscribe to Nintendo's Switch Online service. It's a potent combination that has already won the hearts (and time) of those that have played it. A combination of the classic 1980s puzzler and the current obsession with battle royale games.
Just like the console it's been made for, Tetris 99 is simultaneously nostalgic and thoroughly modern. In many ways, it's the perfect Switch game. Yet since then it has racked up more column inches than any of the other games revealed during the entire 35-minute presentation. Tetris 99 received a total of 49 seconds of airtime. The rest of the video was made up of announcement montages featuring various third- and first-party products, and it was amongst these that the real star emerged. Those two games opened and closed the Direct, with an extended Fire Emblem reveal in the middle. "Tetris 99 is really the first standalone reason to subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online" It won't have the same financial impact as a full Breath of the Wild sequel, but it's clearly not expected to. The Game Boy original is a classic, and a new Zelda game - even a simple remake - is always going to delight the faithful. To fans, the reveal of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was probably the biggest surprise, and the most exciting. A full sequel on the significantly more popular Nintendo Switch has the potential to be a sizeable hit, and surely the biggest game on the platform during the first half of 2018. Its predecessor sold four million units globally, which means almost a third of Wii U owners purchased a copy. Super Mario Maker 2 is arguably the one with the most commercial potential. There were a few big game reveals during the Nintendo Direct last week.
