Hopefully it doesn't require access to the cloud (Cloud is in smash yay!) to work. I'm guessing there would be a subscription model for it and you could only get access to a certain level of power by being connected...some games might not even work at all without that extra power.

If you buy the cheapo $99 model I think it's fair that you obviously need the Cloud and for that a subscription fee (a small one) could then reimburse the people who own the high end system that you're "leeching" off of in effect. 

That's fair for everyone IMO. I would gladly buy the most expensive model if I was getting monthly payback/rewards from Nintendo. 

It's actually a pretty smart set up if Nintendo can get it to work. 

In that case, Nintendo might have to cut the price of their games quicker.  We all know they like to keep the prices of their games high for forever, but if they're going this route then it's going to bring aboard a different audience than they're used to.
