Title: So now I have to pay for Nintendo’s terrible online service?

Unless Nintendo adds some amazing features to every Pay and Play title, which they probably won't do for fear of some asshole being raped, what's the point? psyduck;
Your thoughts? Will Nintendo be able to make their service worth paying for?

Premium price kils friend codes.

I wouldn't even pay a single penny for Xbox Live, so I won't pay for this either; I get the best online for PC and it's entirely free.

Unless it's a game ported from xbox.

I was seriously pissed when I found out you had to pay to play Halo 2.

As long as it's not too expensive and kills "friend codes".

From my understanding this only applies to certain games.

"This will be implemented on some games, which will tack on a service charge for playing online."

That's a cent-an-hour. 100 hours for a dollar. Sounds good.

Though, I think this service may be some sort of way for developers to allow downloadable content like in Guitar Hero using Wii points... maybe it's not the type of "pay to play" we know of like on Xbox Live.

If it's more than $5 a month, forget it.

Needs voice chat and no friend codes also.

We may eventually be allowed to use USB flash drives.

I'm wondering how the hell WiiWare downloads will work since the one game we've seen looks huge.

It's 2D, idiot. It looks like something made in flash.

And probably the only WiiWare game I'll be getting is Star Soldier.

Like Lawlz said.


There's no reason to charge for online play.

Well it costs money to run game servers for millions of players, and Nintendo wants to make a profit off of everything they are doing right now like the Wii and DS.

Personally i'll pay if they get rid of friend codes and they aren't so god damn stingy about voice chat, and/or even being able to see someone's name online.

Allow personal servers.

when you were talking about 'the one game', i assumed you were talking about that 2d game with the elves

No one cares about Final Fantasy, much less Crystal Chronicles.
