Yes..Ive heard this news on The Wiire already and all i had in my mind is "you got to be shitting me" but then i realize that 2 blockbuster games are coming out soon, Smash And Mario Kart, so someone at Nintendo must of had the greed eye.
Second though IF they ever do plan to do this Pay to play service i better see fucking results or i'm gonna go to nintendo at trow a Wii-mote at their HQ window
I'm pretty sure that free online for Smash is confirmed already, don't know about Mario Kart though.
That said, if Nintendo wants to establish a pay to play system, they better improve their current online system quite a bit, nobody's gonna pay money for friends codes and no voice chat(probably the most basic online features at the moment), but who knows.
Nintendo has become a hugely arrogant company with the Wii doing so well, and a decent chunk of Nintendo fans are mindless idiots who will fork over the cash for this, I mean look at the Wii, amazing that a machine with maybe 3 titles that are worth buying has done so well.
So Pay to Play just become insanely lucrative for them, Nintendo's the only company that most people give a free pass to and praise them for the very same thing they complain about with other companies.
I can see it now "Pay to play bigger than XBL".
the sad truth is they want money to cover up for the great Fuck up known as the Gheycube
what i'm pretty pissed off about is Nintendo even thinking about this move.
now kids will have to ask mommy and daddy for money to just play a simple game online. Ghey? yes it is.
this is probably the most unfamiliy oriented move nintendo has taken since the beginning drought of Wiis.
This is bs.
actually they make a note to say it's pay and play.
they don't want to use the word TO
because... you know that makes it better! :/ laym
I'm basically okay with it as long as they make it more hardcore oriented, for additional features AKA downloadable content, voice chat and/or MMORPGS. But if there's a fee for the basic online play... then Wii have a problem.
