I think if this is true, (or nintendo doesn't read wired) then it'll be a monthly fee at the worst, and a yearly fee at the best, the thing is, they don't need the money, DS's are still in high demand in japan THEY ARE STILL THE MOST AWESOME THING IN THE WORLD, SHOPS AREN'T KEEPING UP WITH THE DEMAND, they don't NEED the money, so most likely it'll be small, there is no way really to track a DS logging on though, I want to know where the DS goes when it goes onto the GTS and if theres a way people can access it from their computer...but if it does come down to every time you log on then 1. it'll be like one cent per logon, and 2. everybody will be utterly pissed at nintendo because they have to pay every time the wifi kicks them off because of a bad connection, so a weekly/monthly/yearly charge seems most likely, and they have no way to implement it for existing games as far as I know because there probably has to be something in the games programming for them to be able to charge us, anyway, thats all I have to say on this

It certainly would be interesting, I'm still curious as to how they plan to implement it, but it makes sense not going to DS because DS is portable and can hook up anywhere, it would require immense amounts of work, including registering your game on Nintendo s website with a unique code before being able to go online with that specific game, then registering your name and address as well as bank account information to that game and forever it would charge you for that game whenever it went online, so of course nobody would sell a used game that had been registered and nintendo would make even more money because everybody would buy new games and OMG it sounds mind bogglingly simple when I put it like that, WTF THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!!!

If you read the article, it's only going to be future titles with red Nintendo WFC logos on them... and one of the articles was saying that in the interview, they were mostly hinting at downloadble content, and not actual online play. dry.gif

Another classic example of people worrying about things too much.



I highly doubt Nintendo would ever go so far as to charge us to play their own games online (quote the article: "Nintendo, who has always been adamant about wanting online gameplay to be free"). If it does stretch to their own games, it will just be for bonus content. I'm pretty sure it'll just mostly be for some developers who want to create crap like MMORPGs on the Wii and want to charge people (just like they do on the computer).


Also, no one ever said anything about it being for the DS. It was only announced for the Wii, just as it has the Virtual Console. Wired said it'd be interesting to see if it does stretch to the DS or if it's restricted to the Wii (which it most likely will stay restricted).

wow, I think I lost the conversation line somewhere, my attention span lets me remember maybe the past three posts, so the worrying about ds overrode me not seeing ds in first topic(or it was there, I'm too lazy to look)*goes to look anyway* yup, you're right, wow... I feel better, I don't have a wii, I might buy the yuu when it comes out (sequel to the wii) when they've worked the bugs out

It might be for both. >.> Either way, I don't want to pay for the darned Wii or the DS.

the idea of them charging us sounds alot more dubious by the minute, zerxer really cleared it up and brought the whole thing down to earth, I'm not worried about it anymore, we all just overreacted a little too much...
