[[Xbox Live]] was launched in November 2002. Initially the console only used a feature called system link, where players could connect two consoles using an [[Ethernet physical layer|Ethernet cable]], or multiple consoles through a router. With the original Xbox Microsoft launched Xbox Live, allowing shared play over the internet. A similar feature exists on the [[PlayStation 3]] in the form of the [[PlayStation Network]], and the [[Wii]] also supports a limited amount of online gaming. Nintendo also had a network, dubbed "[[Nintendo Network]]", that fully supported online gaming with the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]]. With the launch of the [[Nintendo Switch]], Nintendo launched the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service to replace the older Nintendo Network.
