so does anyone know if this pay-to-playness will be implemented in all current and future wii games? is it selective?

like will madden 08 require it or moh:h2 possibly?

or is this mainly for first party games like brawl, strikers, etc...

?? ??

I'd be fine with a SMALL fee if, as others have said:

1.) They include voice chat
2.) They get rid of friend codes and use regular nicknames
3.) They provide reliable, fast servers
4.) There's a decent game selection

Also, if I'm not mistaken, one of the FPSes out for Wii right now actually DOES use nicknames for online play. Maybe Medal of Honor?

I actually think having a different nickname for each game might be better than XBox Live's system of having a system-wide nickname. That way you can kind of keep your gaming experiences separate.

But I must say, I am a bit worried about the notion of pay-to-play PER GAME.

I mean, on the 360, I'd have no problem, as Halo 3 is virtually the only game I'd pay for, so I'm sure it'd end up being considerably cheaper than paying for "system-wide" online access.

If Wii has GREAT games with online support, it could be the same situation. But if not, I'm sure people will end up trying a bunch of mediocre games and getting pissed at having to pay for each of them separately.

i already pay for internet service, no way im paying for online for a ****ing wii, get some better games and get voice chat first

it wont be implemented anytime soon, these guys are just fetching idea, apparently some of them like to waste money

Oh man! On one hand, games would be great with voice chat. On the other, it would suck to have to pay for online. Also, the pay-to-play service would only be good with certain games. For example, MOH:H2 would be a great game with voice chat. However, I don't think the servers will be better just because we will have to pay. If you have a bad internet connection, that's your problem, and paying isn't going to make a difference.

Most likely it will be for subscription MMO style games and not your regular run of the mill online multiplayer game.

I think this is one of Nintendo's worst moves ever and they should really take time to think about the impact this is gonna have on there game sales so yeah

I would definitely pay a monthly fee to play a really good MMORPG on the Wii.

Thanks for your worthwhile contribution!

I have no problem paying for a better online experience, I'm just waiting to see what Nintendo is going to come out with, if is worth to pay for, i will if not, I'm selling my wii and getting myself a 360 or PS3.

I'm all for pay-to-play, as long as it's good. I don't mind spending a bit to increase the options Ninty has to offer, I'm certain that paying will be worth it in the long run.

Uhhhh....i am 1 billion percent sure they have thought about this already.
Nintendo doesn't care about the customer sadly, they care about the money, thats why the server(no s) for SSBB is a pull start motor pc.

My Friend Code Is 4768-7230-3802

Nintendo makes enough money already. Just give us half-decent online play with actual communication and I'll be happy. If they want to do pay-to-play online it better be amazing.

There is no need to pay. Let's just hope they get better servers.

I dont care if they charge us, all I want is them to include Voice Chat.

I thought they shouldnt but after all of yesterdays lag they should!
