When this news came out of GDC, I was outraged. Nintendo, after only releasing one console with sketchy online play, now wants to collect some fees.
When I saw this I thought, "Will I ever get affected by this? I don't play online.", then I thought, "Brawl?!".
That's right folks, the game I was looking forward to play some casual online with, is in PERIL of being emblazoned with the Pay to Play logo. And if it isn't, what about Mario Kart Wii? That may be a certainty.
But enough about me. Payment would likely be payed monthly by Wii Points, and may cost upwards of 250 points a month. (That's $2.50, a penny a point.) My question is, with Nintendo's obvious lack of multiplayer support, (games and players) will this make things worse? I think so. I'm not paying for Nintendo Wi-Fi. And neither should anyone.
Check out my review of Brawl in four days to see if the legends are true, and that payment will be nessesary for online play.

Dude Live OWNS Wii's online and it's only 9.99 a month and its worth it. You get demos,***VOICE CHAT*** and way better functionality. The only way i would pay for wii online is if they made it 200 times better like live even if it were only 2.50 a month.
