Speaking with Japanese newspaper Nikkei, Kimishima said Nintendo Online Services' annual fee would be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 yen, less than $20 to $30 at current exchange rates. That's less than half of what it costs to snag a year of Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus. That feels about right, reflecting the limits of Nintendo Online Services' offerings compared to its competitors. Specifically, the lower price softens the blow of the time limit Nintendo has placed on the service's free monthly games -- instead of lasting for the duration of the player's subscription, as with Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus' monthly giveaways, Nintendo's subscription games will expire after just one month.

Kimishima also confirmed that Nintendo is considering adding a VR headset to the Switch's repertoire, echoing a patent the company filed last year. "If we are able to resolve the issues with playing VR comfortably for long hours, we will support it in one form or another," he said. Still, don't get too excited -- Nintendo has been down this road before.
