Confused about WiiConnect

[Taero]

Will Wii online be free? O_o I doubt it but maybe.

Wii online WILL be free, it will be free to search the net using the Opera browser (free to download til June/July? next year after which you will have to pay ~$20 for it and standard net rates i.e. you paying for your internet connection as you would if you wanted to go on the net on your PC)

WiiConnect24 will be free as well for updates, game demos etc. the Virtual Console will charge you to download retro games. That's it though, the game's will be free to play online to, after all you don't pay fees to play Mario Kart DS online do you or Metroid Hunters.

Can't be bothered to find sources etc other people can back me up if you need anything else.

Nope you don't need a pc to connect to the net, all you need is your wireless router up and running and once it is you can just connect straight to it with the Wii, no PC needed. (Works the same as a wireless laptop if that's a helpful analogy)

"Speaking to Computer and Video Gamers today, a Nintendo rep confirmed that the USB ethernet adaptor which was announced at TGS 2005 will indeed be coming out for the Wii at the console’s launch in December."
