Miyamoto talks about Nintendo Online efforts...

[Shonen]

“… Probably the other thing that we are desperate to realise is the core [online] business structure. Do we need to demand customers pay monthly fees to enjoy online activities? Or give an online subscription that is free of charge, but then offer something extra for people that pay, so that they get some extra value? With these core business strategies I think we are less active than we should be. To be honest, I think it’s rather unfair whenever I hear such comments – that Nintendo isn’t proactive when it comes to its online strategy. The fact of the matter is that we always want all Wii consoles to be connected online, all the time, so Nintendo has never been less than proactive in that kind of endeavour. It is true, though, that Nintendo hasn’t been very proactive in developing such online activities as an MMOG. But when it comes to our endeavours that try to take advantage of internet technology, where we can provide our customers with more fun and entertainment, then I think we can say we have been very, very proactive and well-received. And that attitude won’t be changed at all in the future.” - Shigeru Miyamoto

 

I think that if they wants to charge for something its better they totally change the all thing , maybe in a similar fashion of what MS did with the DashBoard , creats a system to put all the FC under your Wii number so once you add one person Wii number you all ready trades all the FC you haves with the other Wii and the list goes On , but its good to see that they at least will try to make it better.
