What would your first thought be if nintendo network became a paid service like xbox live and ps plus?

If they were to have a paid subscription they would need to improve their online features drastically and also give out some free games like both Xbox gold and ps+ do at the moment. Otherwise it would be useless and the comparisons between ps+/xbox gold and the nintendo subs would be even worse than the comparisons you had showing how better the ps+ service was than gold in the 7th gen (which ultimately led MS to include free games in the gold subs).

Basically they need to improve their online game hugely or charge a much cheaper price (say $15 or $20) to make it successful.
