Oh Gee, Wii Online Free!

When asked about the online strategy for the Wii, Fils-Aimes replied “It’s the same premise. We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They’ll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you’ll be able to plug it in and go. It won’t have hidden fees or costs.”

This is yet another reason to be psyched for the Wii. I have to hand it to Nintendo… they know what they are doing. This is going to help sell a lot more consoles no doubt, but chances are we will not have the mass amounts of content available like XB Live has. Either way, I’m in.
