If you’re a fan of Nintendo’s hit Switch gaming console, good news: the Switch app for your phone or tablet just hit app stores. Bad news? At least for right now, it doesn’t do much. But, hey, more good news: in just two days, it’ll do more and pretty soon, you’ll be able to play Splatoon 2 with all your friends on your phone. And best of all, it’s free to get and use until 2018, when it’ll cost $20 a year to play.

The app will bring voice and chat functionality to many of the games expected to fill Nintendo’s Switch Online service, which will continue to fill out as time goes on. The Switch gaming console has been a big success for Nintendo, so we’re anxious to see if they can follow up with a solid online gaming experience as well. Info:
