How much are you willing to pay for Pay and Play?

Ok, so the only reason i see that Nintendo would start charging for online play is that they are going to listen to us and add in some much desired fetures like Voice chat, leader boards, ect. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they even strayed away from the dreaded freind code system. I might just be dreaming, but assuming i'm right, how much would you pay for P&P?

Edit: In case i wasn't clear, i mean how much would you pay each month.

I don't think that's an option.

$5 max

they aren't adding stuff like voice chat and leaderboard if you "pay to play" they are only adding that feature so you have to pay for games like animal crossings every month... hopefully nintendo doesn't make you pay for individual games

as much as they want.

EDIT: and to answer the question a one time payment of 5-10 dollars.

Depends on what they offer, if nothing good then im going to smash my wii over Iwata's head.

I agree because it will never be worth paying for even if Nintendo improves stuff.

For online 0$, I serioulsly hope this pay to play is a demo service, not for playing games online.

It's on a per game basis, not an overall service. That being said, it would depend on the game itself. For an MMORPG type game, I could see paying up to 10-15 bucks per month, while other online games could be up to 5 bucks.

why do they have to go and follo xbox 360wwedx

They aren't...

Not much higher than $10 for extra services. For regular online play, $0. I barely use WiFi as it is now.

It is, because games with the blue WiFi logo will remain completely free to play. (this includes SSBB and Mario Kart)

Pay to Play is an option publishers can choose whether to exploit.

time to deconstruct this thread. First of all you didn't put how long we would pay for. 50$ a year, month, forever?

and also, we know nothing about it. That's like saying "how much will you pay for a hickengenkle(device to be invented)

but the free games arent pay for play

Absolutely nothing. If I wanted to pay for online, I'd go get a 360 and pay for one that isn't crippled. Nintendo, you've caused me to put on my angry face. I hope you're happy.SmashBrosLegend

stop saying stuff like that. we know nothing about it. For all we know it could be similar to xbox live, with pay for paly being gold and free being silver(except not completely useless)

Yeah, but there is a mistaken notition going around that Nintendo will start charging for ALL online play. From the wording of his post, it sounds like this is what the OP believes.

That's actually one of the fears I have about this new Pay to Play system. Nintendo doesn't have to force it on any developer, but what if it really takes off with a few titles. The Big N may think consumers won't mind paying for online service on all Wi-Fi games. As long as people are paying for certain games, maybe they'd pay a permanent fee for all online games in the future? Then it'll be like Xbox Live; I'm paying $50 a year to play Mario Party 9 online when it would have been completely free a short while ago. The worst thing about that would be that the new paying online system probably wouldn't be as easy and accessible as the competition's.

I'd love to say that the idea is completely unplausible, but c'mon: it's Nintendo! I love the company, but they always find a way to take your money by adding small increments to things or producing items that aren't really necessary. Examples: adding color schemes to new hardware; making the hardware slightly smaller; releasing loads of peripherals that either don't work or don't add anything to the gameplay (the Power Glove fits that example perfectly).

Like I said before, as long as the game that is requiring you to pay is worth it, I may pay a small fee, but it better have some serious substance.

Power Glove is a terrible example. They didn't make that peripheral. Mattel (US) and PAX (Japan) were its manufactures, and it was designed by a company called Abrams/Gentile Entertainment.

True they do the whole color and scaling thing, but they aren't the only ones. Sony also does it. As do many other companies outside of gaming world.
