Under ett möte med Nintendos största aktieägare passade högste chefen Satoru Iwata på att berätta mer om framtiden för Wii U och dess onlinestrategier. Något som inte nödvändigtvis kommer vara gratis.
"We cannot promise that Nintendo will always provide you with online services free of charge no matter how deep the experiences are that it may provide.", säger Iwata.
Han utvecklar sitt resonemang något: "But at least we are not thinking of asking our consumers to pay money to just casually get access to our ordinary online services."
Det tycks heller inte bli tal om några Xbox Live-liknande abonnemang: "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."
"We therefore believe that services which ask our consumers to obtain paid memberships are not always the best.", avslutar han.
