Splatoon 2 producer on the effect of paid Nintendo Switch Online, not ruling out paid premium multiplayer content
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Up until this point, Splatoon 2 has been entirely free to play online. Yet in just a few months ago, that’s going to change in a notable way. When Nintendo Switch Online fully launches in September, players will need to pay if they want to battle others.
Producer Hisashi Nogami told Polygon that he doesn’t believe the move to paid online multiplayer will have a major impact. However, he does feel that there could be some changes to how people approach the game.
