Nintendo Announces Wii Pay and Play

[downphoenix]

Leonidas : The perfect example of Fanboyism taking precedent over intelligent debate.

Intelligent debate?

No details are known.

Nintendo will begin "collecting fees for some services [that] will allow us to adapt flexibly."

This is what everyone has been begging for all along.

Well congrats guys, you got it. Nintendo Live is coming soon.

Reading the title of this thread, I thought that this was a game. I was like, "Wii Pay"? What? Is Nintendo going to teach us accounting now? wtf?

....... that is all. *runs away*

Yes. Nintendo will go from Friend Codes to Unified gamertag overnight.

[Leonidas]

Hopefully!!



Just kidding, I don't even know what Unified gamertag means.

I'm a nintendo owner, remember?

So what, are Nintendo's profit margins just starting dip below the billions mark so they thought they'd try and squeeze everyone for a few more dollars?

I hope they come up with something good in regards to online because what they'd got now is dismal, which makes me even more annoyed that they're announcing certain fees for it.

[Leonidas]

Good point, Nintendo can afford servers.

Maybe it'll be worth it? Or something we didn't expect?

Eh, speculation.

Just noticed this;

Aoyama stressed that many Wii games would remain free to play online and that the boxes for those that were not would be clearly marked with a red Nintendo Wi-Fi logo.

Indeed.

Way to go Nintendo, you have a virtual non-existant online service and you're already getting greedy.

Nintendo of the 90's is back.
