<p>It looks like <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUjNDL">Nintendo Switch</a> users may soon have a new way to pay for games on the Eshop. <a href="http://ift.tt/2v9jjLH" rel="nofollow">According to Nintendo Everything</a>, the Japanese Switch eShop now supports PayPal as a payment option, though the functionality doesn&#8217;t appear to be live in the rest of the world, at least not yet.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for features to have different release schedules based on geographic location, so it could just be a matter of time before PayPal is added in North America and Europe. We&#8217;ll report back with more details as they&#8217;re made available.</p>
<p>As Nintendo Everything reminds us, PayPal is already a supported payment option when buying games through Nintendo&#8217;s website. </p>
<p>In other news about the Switch&#8217;s eShop, Nintendo announced this week that a <a href="http://ift.tt/2vRvMGJ">free demo for Pokken Tournament DX will be released into the store &#8220;soon.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>The Switch may be getting PayPal support soon, but <a href="http://ift.tt/2uTROpI">the hybrid console is still without streaming services like Netflix and YouTube</a>. These services, along with others and further functionality of all kind, may be rolled out at a later date. </p>
<p>Currently, online multiplayer is free for Switch. However, in 2018 Nintendo will launch its online membership programming, <a href="http://ift.tt/2sv1jtg">charging $4/month or $20/year for a subscription</a>. This is substantially below the rates that Microsoft and Sony charge for their services, though it&#8217;s not an apples-to-apples comparison.</p>
