Nintendo Project Leader Takashi Aoyama revealed the company's intention to add a Pay and Play service to future Wi-Fi-enabled Wii games during this year's Game Developers Conference.

Online-enabled Wii games have all been free of charge thus far. With "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay And Play", however, users will be able to subscribe on a game-by-game basis to certain online titles.

Pay and Play titles will come with a red "Pay and Play" icon on the box instead of the traditional blue Wi-Fi Connection icon. Games marked with the regular Wi-Fi icon will still feature free online play.

Wii Points will be used for payment, although Aoyama did not detail the extent of the cost. The software expected to require payment is also unknown.

That is level BS!!! PS3 men watch allyuh back, dey wuh end up doin de same ting to allyuh.

Playstation online has been free since the days of PS2, plus they selling download content for quite a while now as well, why would this move cause Sony to shift to this kind of service? The PS3 console + games is already kinda expensive and all, this I think might piss off the fanbase just a *bit*. Nintendo announced the Pay-per-play motion very early in the wii's life as well, so this isn't really much of a surprise either.

Its NOT worth it man! NONE of the online-enabled games for Wii are worth paying for, for the online.... pay-per-play......steups.... Somebody gwoh bun dem down. I still say one of these days they will do de same for ps3. Another thing, remember the ps2 was a hit in the 6th Gen, there wasn't any need to make owners pay for online service, but they may need to make a profit cuz ps3's sales have lagged behind from the start, they catchin up tho.

I am open for being corrected

I hope they don't add brawl and mario kart to that "pay per play" list

NeoSpartan117 · « **Reply #546 on:** February 24, 2008, 07:33:32 PM »

WOW paying 4 each title, that sucks. Might as well make u pay to play all online games (that require it in the future) instead of payin for each one

I finally got a Wii!!!!!! I was in Best Buy yesterday lookin to get a prepaid Xbox Live Points card and I noticed a lady with a Wii in her shopping cart. I asked one of the blue shirt guys and he said that they have a bunch of them. I grabbed one up instantly along with Wii Play (for another Wiimote), another Nunchuk, a couple 2000 Wii Point cards and an Energizer battery charger (it came with 4 AA rechargables). Needless to say, I forgot about the Xbox Live Points card. I bought a few Virtual Console games: Paper Mario and Sin and Punishment for N64, Lords of Thunder for TG16, and Punch Out and Super Mario 3 for NES. All in all, a very nice day.

By the way, has anyone checked out the Wii weather and news channels? They are truly something else. Just for the hell of it, I went in and set them up. The weather channel is nice with current weather for your location (or any other) but the news channel is amazing. I like how it displays a ticker on the channel preview screen with news headlines. When you go in the channel, you start to see the really cool stuff. If you click on a news article, it displays at a standard size. You can zoom in and out and actually see the words rearrange themselves on the page. Very cool. Also, on the right is a map with the location of the article's subject matter. You can select it and zoom in and out on a map of the world. This map shows different areas with stacks of paper representing the number of articles from those areas. Of course, all this is a lot more interesting when you actually try it. So, for all Wii owners who have not played around with channels, I recommend that you do just to experience it.

Well I am anxiously awaiting mine by mail as it has been pre-ordered for about a month now. Looking forward to the goodness that is Brawl...Hopefully there is no online charge to play just Brawl, that is just retarded...

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #554 on:** March 02, 2008, 09:50:20 PM »

I hear you on that one redlum

viv, you could have picked up Legend of Zelda to get the second nunchuk. Same Nintendo gimmick as with the Wii Play to get the second Wii Mote.

Hardware/Software tie in. Strong arm tactics iwmc.

Somehow it doesn't seem wrong when they do it, lol.

Played with the Wii channels, nice but haven't really used that feature much.

Interesting choice with the energizer batteries. Had those before for my camera but they proved fickle. Went with the Nyko rechargeable dock for the Wii.

It's been working great but just today I had one of the wiimotes die unexpectedly due to battery pack failure. Had to pop in a few regular AAs to get it going again.

How are those Virtual Console games working out?

Never bought any of those. Spent my $$ on Zelda, Galaxy, Wii Play and Metroid Prime 3.

I'm waiting for a Nintendo approved charger before I get one. With Wiimotes going for $40.00, it's not worth the risk using something else. I didn't know you get a nunchuk with Zelda. Is that Twilight Princess? Maybe I'll do it when I'm getting my next 2 sets of controllers (to complete a set of 4).

shivadee · « **Reply #556 on:** March 03, 2008, 01:30:09 AM »

for virtual console i bought

Ninja Gaiden 2
Street Fighter 2 New Challengers
Streets of Rage 1 2 and 3
Golden Axe
Contra Alien Wars
Super C

I bought a wii classic controller as well. Very satisfied with the controller for playing the SNES and NES games.
