Partially off topic, but will Pretendo ever support/create a Nintendo Switch Online revival if and when the servers are discontinnued?

For general discussion of a possible revival of NSO for the Nintendo Switch by Pretendo and/or any related services once the original NSO servers go offline.

Switch games use the same library (called NEX) as Wii U and 3DS games for their servers, so Pretendo’s NEX game server libraries could actually be used to make Switch servers. However, it is unlikely that the Pretendo development team would work on this for several reasons, including the fact that NSO is a paid service and that we’d be spreading our limited development resources way too thin by trying to make servers for 3 different consoles.

It is more likely that a separate development team not associated with Pretendo could use Pretendo’s libraries to create Switch game servers, but of course nobody knows who or when that will be.

Because the Switch is a really massively-selling console!
