You know I shouldn't have to pay JUST TO PLAY ONLINE. I already have to pay my internet bill I don't need another bill to pay just to play online a few times a week with my friends. Basic online play should be free, the other stuff I don't care about being put behind a pay wall. I think the only reason there is no Nintendo Premium right now is because they don't have much to offer for a subscription base.

Agreed, this is pretty much what I came in here to say.

I don't mind there being paid services around, but basic stuff you buy a console for should be possible without having to pay for it. This basically only includes the ability to play multiplayer games, access the online storefront, get system updates and maybe browse the internet. The rest can be subscription based, sure.
