    It's in the 'Online Service' section of the main FAQ. (https://www.nintendo.com/switch/faq/)

    What's included in the online service?
The paid online service will include access to online multiplayer gaming, as well as a dedicated smartphone
app that connects to your Nintendo Switch system via your linked Nintendo Account to provide an online
lobby and voice chat for compatible multiplayer games.

Subscribers will also get to download and play a classic game for free for a month, and will receive discount
offers on select digital games.

Please note that online multiplayer gaming will be free until the paid service launches in 2018. Data charges
may apply. Learn more

More information about the online service will be announced soon, so please stay tuned.

    I really hope that's not referencing the announced NES titles.

    I half agree.. politics is tricky because everyone has an opinion, and people are often very vocal about their opinion. By forcing it into ~news you're attempting to make sure that only news articles are posted, which is reasonable. However, at the same time it seems like you're trying to discourage opinion pieces.. which feels like the wrong approach to a community like this. People need a place to voice opinions and talk about them, and that content specifically doesn't belong in ~news.

    Just to be clear, I personally don't care about a politics group as I don't have much interest in such things. It is just a gap that I see in the current group list.

    Perfectly happy with a tab, then it's available for those who want to see it, but not cluttering up the page for those who don't.

    @deimos perhaps this could be a good user preference? Whether clicking on the post goes to comments or opens the link.

    The current set of groups seems pretty good for the moment, I'd suggest maybe a politics group.. as right now that'd just end up under news, where it doesn't really belong. As for group requests,...

    As for group requests, informally in ~tildes is likely fine for now, but I can see that becoming unmanageable as more users are added to the site. Likely will need a group-request form somewhere at eventually.

    Basic title/text is likely fine. I only noticed it was missing because I went to check that something wasn't posted before I made a post this morning.

    The only part I really care about:

    Classic Game Selection*
Subscribers will get to download a compilation of classic titles with added online play, such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight and Dr. Mario.

    Hopefully that gets expanded with a larger catalog

    I've bought pretty much every one of my consoles to play a single game .. I just assumed that's what everyone did.
