In a Los Angeles Times article supplied by Reuters, Nintendo Co. Ltd. president Satoru Iwata has offered a bit of insight into Nintendo's online plans.
The article focuses on whether consumers are willing to pay for online features, and how much they are willing to pay. Of course, this has been a major issue for Nintendo all along, as their main concern is how consumers will pay for and how Nintendo can profit from online games.
"I don't think its reasonable to make someone pay for a game and then make them prepare a network connection and charge a monthly fee," Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, told Reuters recently.
Meanwhile, Nintendo's Iwata said his company was working on a service that would not require users to cough up regular fees for games.
"In the near future we are hoping to announce something that addresses this issue," he told Reuters.
Looks like they take the view many people do, you shouldnt have to buy a game then pay for it monthly, which is EXACLTY what I want to hear. Keep your ears open for any more info!
