charge for online? no thanks I have no interest in paying for online on more than one console

Nintendo won't make their plans in regard of their fans owning a rival console. If it meant a much better online experience would you not think not nintendo only gamers would be up for it?

currently nintendo should assume that all their fans own a rival console.

Nintendo refuses to drop price on much of their worthwhile games. No way they would give stuff out for free

I'm a Nintendo fan and I own and mostly play on PS4. Play the major first party stuff on WiiU but PS4 first party outweighs it and then add on the 3rd party and free stuff and WiiU is a dust collector. Also Nintendo should add a trophy like system for WiiU before thinking about subs. It's the logical first step.

I'm not really for it myself. I wouldn't pay for it, and I'd certainly be upset if they went the route of Sony and MS and charge for online play.

Because Sony has been trying to get PS3 owners to get into subscription services since 2008 with Qore while Nintendo doesn't want any sort of subscription

So you telling me that nintendo with their latest woes wouldn't like an easy money maker like this? If they do it right they could add a big chunk of cash to their reports while providing their fans with a great service. And imagine if they pulled off a wii type success again. Those millions would turn to billions if the console had a service like this.

No because Nintendo doesn't have any idea what to offer with a subscription service. It can't be with free games because they're the only publisher giving Wii U major support and there's only so many games they can give away until they hit a wall. They're the type of business that wouldn't continue the Deluxe Premotion.
