While the interview itself warrants a full read, we chose to focus on the answer Furukawa gave when asked about a higher-priced tier with upgraded services for Nintendo Switch Online.
Furukawa mentions the history of the service, its growing popularity among Switch owners and goes on to reveal that the company is "working on increasing the appeal of the service to make it even more fun and convenient to play with Nintendo Switch."

Fans of the platform have had diverse reactions to Furukawa's response, requesting basic features such as a messaging system and easy to use voice chat across multiple titles.
Another Switch owner provided a handy list of ways to increase the appeal. They proposed the addition of Nintendo 64 and Gameboy titles, exclusive sales, more unique online modes and an update that would improve the console's internet connection.
Some are also calling for more substantial updates, better server infrastructure and a party chat.
