Even Sony knew they couldn't just start charging for online play mid-generation when they brought their paid service out for PS3. Nintendo really screwed that one up. Not to mention, there just aren't really that many compelling online games on Switch for someone to justify full years' worth of online gameplay blackmail money.
Someone who had just played 6 months worth of Mario Kart online is rarely going to pony up to continue. And when the hype from Smash dies down, very few of those people will probably want to continue as well. Just a dumb move. And the already meager online population in their smaller games will undoubtedly suffer for it. Make it about discounts and freebies like Sony had to.
