Nintendo 'can't promise all Wii U online services will be free'
"But at least we are not thinking of asking our consumers to pay money to just casually get access to our ordinary online services."
Last week Iwata ruled out an Xbox Live-esque subscription model for Wii U, stating that it wasn't appropriate for Nintendo's audience.
"We have a wide variety of consumers, from the ones who enthusiastically play video games to those playing more casually, who are not always interested in them but try to play a game only when it has become a public topic or play it just during certain periods, like a year-end season and summer vacation," he said.
"We therefore believe that services which ask our consumers to obtain paid memberships are not always the best."

We should all do the same for the next xbox. It's complete bull that we have to pay to play with other people.

SovietRussiaFrogSovietRussiaFrog It's one of their best unique selling points! They can't scrap it...
Its the same reason i'm thinking about skiping the next MS console.
What would you game on instead...?
Probably the ps4. Im honestly tired of microsoft. I owned a ps1 and a ps2 and had no problems until I switched over to the xbox 360
I sort of agree with you. Microsoft is getting pretty ridiculous with their greed lately. Ill Probablly stick to xbox since my friends I know IRL play on xbox.
