Fils-Aime Confirms Free Online Play For Wii

In a new interview with major North American newspaper USA Today, Nintendo of America’s recently promoted president and chief operating officer Reggie Fils-Aime has commented on a number of features of the Wii’s imminent launch, including confirmation of free online play.

When asked about the pricing model for online use of the Wii, Fils-Aime commented that: “We 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. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you'll be able to plug it in and go. It won't have hidden fees or costs.”

If that's for sure, I could be a potential victim, or a wii-mer. Especially if they have basketball and other succesful franchises. If it's only Mario and other bs, I'll stick with my Super Nintendo.

Sony should have paid users to use their online service.

XBox 360 has free online play too... And I'm pretty sure PS3 will also.

XBOX Live Silver = Free (Im pretty sure you can only play like 10 games for free on it)
XBOX Live Gold = Fee (YOu play all games, get to download demos and other stuff, if I remember correctly.)
PS3 Online Service = Fee (I am pretty sure they already said that it would cost money)
