A small update for you all: Nintendo has narrowed the window for when their online service will launch later this year, although we’re still hanging out for an exact date.
The company announced via Twitter that the Switch’s paid online service would launch in the second half of September. Previously, Nintendo had announced that the service would be available in September – so today’s tidbit pins day zero to the last fortnight of the month, if nothing else.

Nintendo’s online FAQ hasn’t been updated to include the slightly-amended date, and at the time of writing there’s no new details added there either. We’ll keep you posted, though.
