NP Sage Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Looking forward to online play? Looking forward to paying for it? Playing online games on the Nintendo Wii (though limited) has always been a service provided absolutely free of charge. Well, that might change for some games, as the company has announced certain games will require you to pay Wii Points to get online play. Unfortunately, they didn’t mention exactly which future games will have this feature or exactly how much they’ll cost, but users will be required to subscribe on a game-by-game basis if they want to play online. The games with this new feature will now bear a red insignia reading, “Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay to Play,” in place of the normal blue circle. It’s going to be interesting to see how user-friendly this system turns out to be. Its pretty much been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 My Wii is having serious internet issues at the moment. Plus, I preorder GTA4 over Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstract [Atrocity] Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 If they pull this crap i'll be so angry at nintendo... Hopefully brawl will be free. All that time delayed, and then you have to pay for it? Give us a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP Sage Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 This may be WHY it was delayed. Ever think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 If there going to make pay to play online games they might as well go in the Xbox Live direction and just make a yearly fee to use the online gaming service. Forcing you to pay for one game is just stupid concidering that in the future more games will probably be released with this "feature" making it even more expensive.

NP Sage Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 A site full of insiders. I'm thinking its to allow 3rd-party companies to do what they want. (on the whole pay per game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b7hamma Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 lol "insiders", it's all over gaming sites. Anyway it just means that certain game will require Wii points... and if it gets rid of the awful FC system I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
