So, Nintendo is planning on making people to pay for using their wi-fi now. The article was in GI, but it won't load on the internet, so if you have this month's issue, look it up.

I would hate it if this happened, but I wouldn't mind it if it was a trade-off. Paying and the elimination of friend codes.
 
WHAT!?!

That is the most Dim-witted thing they could do!Think of all the sales they will lose and the Fan rampages!Think of having to pay 5.00$ just to got to someones town on Animal Crossing!
 
Nintendo, your wifi is *censored.2.0*ty enough. So unless it becomes great, as in an online brawl will feel like an offline brawl, I'm not paying for this..
 
Why would you pay for Nintendo WFC when you could pay for XBL, or get PSN free? Both are superior services to Nintendo WFC.
 
Game Informer's The Good said:
Nintendo is looking into the possibility of charging users for the online component of systems like the Nintendo DS and Wii. Whether this would manifest itself in a monthly fee or a one-time upfront usage fee - if it happens at all - remains to be seen. With Sony and now Nintendo contemplating making players pay for some portion of their online services, a year from now will there be any free online lunch?
 
Nintendo's online service is free because it's crap. If they want some money in exchange for the level of service that XBL has been offering, since 2002, then I'd gladly pay. Assuming they made games I was interested in playing online, that is.
 
Wow, if that happened, I would switch to full out PC gaming.

I already do a lot of PC gaming but if this happened it would be all I did.
 
So what? It'd be like every other online gaming service. Except just not as good. Unless they're planning on making some changes to the service with the 3DS.
