Vooks.net’s Daniel Vuckovich has taken to Twitter to confirm Nintendo Switch details newly revealed through the console’s day one update.

First, Australian Switch owners will be able to take advantage of multiplayer for free until autumn 2017. At that time, Nintendo’s subscription fee will come into play, handling online play alongside an online-enabled NES or SNES game that will change monthly.

The update also confirms that the Switch’s iOS and Android online apps will be available in Australia this summer.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
