News: Pay to Play: Wii's Online Service going to be Subscription Based?


Well its official. Nintendo has announced that some of its upcoming Nintendo Wi-Fi games will require a fee to play. I would imagine that would be because of MMOs. Like Animal Crossing. As much as I want Animal Crossing if it requires a fee, then that turns me off a bit. Also this may be for games that use a head set. SO I have a theory. The simple Wi-Fi we currently have is for the casual gamers, so its free. The pay to play online is most likely going to include MMO's , and headsets. For us hardcore gamers. Either way its a bit odd, because this goes against Nintendo's online plan. Which was to make things free. So if they do make all the good games cost a fee, then please make the service better than Xbox Live!
