You'd think so, but I'd never doubt Nintendo's ability to make weird decisions. Particularly if they involve their online services somehow...


They make weird decisions but not when it comes to something like this. They're not gonna not have their new Zelda game on their new console, and they've never done a rerelease for a new system so quickly after a launch where there was only one platform to buy the game on at launch.

People point to Breath of the Wild, but that launched same day on Wii U and Switch. They weren't reselling you the game unless you chose the buy the Wii U version and then later wanted it on Switch.


Meh, they aren’t that weird considering their audience is children, and the majority of parents can’t set up parental controls to save their lives.

Plus, our news media is totally going to report a single pedophile incident with Nintendo Switch Online to high heaven regardless of whether parental controls would have prevented it.
