What components do I need to play online using a Nintendo Switch?

I am thinking of buying an Nintendo Switch Lite to play Overwatch handheld during periods of downtime as I get a lot of free 'intervals' of time. 

 

So, do I just need to buy the device and game?

 

-Does Nintendo have a free online service?

-I think the Lite comes with 32GB installed. Do I need a memory card like the old PSP/Vita consoles?

-Anything else?

 

Thanks!

Theres an online membership, but its fairly cheap in comparison to others - about 20$/year

 

You can buy more storage if you find the base storage isnt enough. Just a micro sd card

I see, so the internal 32GB should be enough just to play Overwatch (cartridge) then?
