Today, during a GDC presentation, Nintendo's Takashi Aoyama announced a new expansion to Nintendo's Wi-Fi services called Wii Pay & Play. Aoyama explained that Nintendo will begin "collecting fees for some services [that] will allow us to adapt flexibly." In other words, by subsidizing additional, unnamed service and feature costs to consumers, Nintendo feels they can explore new concepts and channels.

He added that it was a Nintendo initiative to avoid misleading consumers into thinking they can buy games that can be played entirely free when they cannot (whether or not this implies an initiative to begin charging for multiplayer content was unclear). To aid in a clear cost presentation, the blue WFC logo will be joined with a similar red logo featuring the line "Pay & Play."
While we were offered no additional details, we understand that the red stands for danger.

"We'd like to keep online free and enjoyable for everyone!"

Although this does probably mean they're going to have some decent online stuff. Hopefully.

Yareyare... this might become quite irritating... announcing this PRIOR to Smash's release? Should I or should I not be worried about WiFi with Brawl right now?

We already dish out at least 50 bucks for the games. If we can afford that, I can't imagine extra expenses being that horrendous.

Brawl certainly won't use it, since it didn't in Japan. People would cry foul if the giant delay was just to add Pay & Play to the US version. XD

Mario Kart Wii's boxart doesn't have the demonic red logo, so I think we're safe there, too.

So the question is...what on earth is Nintendo going to attach it to? I mean, past those two franchises, there aren't a whole lot of things Nintendo could make with Pay-to-Play and still be tremendously successful. Unless they're getting Camelot to make an MMORPG or something.

I seriously hope the Pay & Play will only be featured in the third party mini game games.

I can think of a few franchises that MAY be hindered by this turn of events:

-Animal Crossing Wii
-Harvest Moon Online (Yes, it IS going to be for the Wii, not a PC MMORPG...)
-F-Zero Wii (It could happen!)
-Any MMORPGs that may make it to the Wii (Could you imagine? "I'm playing WoW... on my Wii!!" That would just make me cry, but still funny!)

Oh man, I forgot about Animal Crossing. Yeah, that could very likely be what they're gunning for, then. :uramidn:

Or, it could be for an extended online service, as said, on certain games.

Too vague to start nerd rage. Well-played, Nintendo.

That would just be so sad if they actually use Tom Nook to pay for the game.

Thankfully, we probably won't have to pay to play Brawl online, because IT'S ALREADY OUT IN JAPAN!
