New information?
Well no in all fairness we don’t see that much new information from the above press release. As we already nearing the second half of August, and thus are only one month away for the launch of Nintendo Switch Online Service we would have expected more details than this. Of course this could all just be leading up to an impromptu Nintendo Direct dedicated to Nintendo Switch Online Service, but nothing has been announced yet.
