Nintendo announces Pay to play program for the Wii

At GDC today, Nintendo announced a new pay to play program.

The program will be a new version of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Nintendo explained that, although Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will remain free, to have a greater experience you must pay to play. Games that use this new service will have a similar logo to the current Wi-Fi logo, except it will be orange and there will be text on the bottom reading, pay to play.

Nintendo didn’t go into details about the pay to play program, but hopefully it will be worth our money. Nintendo did state though, that you will not have to pay to get access to an entire game.

Is this good new or bad news? So far we can’t tell, but if Nintendo does this right, it could be great news!

Looks like we’re just gonna have to wait for some more info, we’ll keep you updated.
