Nintendo’s president & COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, has stated that the Nintendo Wii would not pursue subscription services for Wii Connect24 or online gameplay, saying that Nintendo views “online gaming as essentially an enhanced way to enjoy the gaming experience and drive more sales of hardware and software,” and that Nintendo “will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They’ll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. … It won’t have hidden fees or costs.” The Nintendo Wii will launch this November for under $250 (€195). Source: USA Today
