Nintendo of Japan revealed that the online subscription service of the switch, Nintendo Switch Online, had reached 10 million subscribers. In a summary of the questions and answers from the company's 79th Annual General Meeting, the figure was quoted when Nintendo was asked how the service will improve in the future. "The number of Nintendo Switch Online subscribers has been steadily increasing since the launch of the service last September," said Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa, "which now has more than 10 million accounts."

Furukawa then explains how Switch Online works (including features such as "Online Play" and "Cloud Saving") before displaying this message. Tetris 99 launched as a special freebie for subscribers. There is mention of the new "Game Vouchers" promotion proposed by the company before Furukawa states: "We are aware that it is extremely important to make the Nintendo Switch Online service attractive to users and will continue to make its content even more attractive in the future. "

It is unclear if this means that more games will be offered at the NES selection or expanded to different consoles. Earlier in the report, Nintendo was asked how it would use popular business models recently adopted by other companies and to which Furukawa responded: "Nintendo's policy is that we will determine whether each product we offer is adapted to a subscription model.We are developing our business in the future. "This could mean different subscriptions for different consoles, but it is probably a deviation because Nintendo is happy with it. Switch Online offer.

I can not say that I am quite happy to pay for the dull online switch, but the relatively inexpensive price excuses some of Nintendo's weaknesses. I hope that the figure of 10 million does not make Nintendo rest on its laurels, because it is possible to do much more with Switch Online, which would make an obvious purchase.
