Since Monster Hunter 3 will be on Wii.

MH2 for PSP had subscriptions?

i dont think they charge for MHF for PSP or MH for PS2

Oh snap.

Maybe MK Wii might be pay-to-play. Y'know, like those Arcade machines we play over at Pyramid?

500 Wii Points for Triple Red Shell, woohoo!

Details are sketchy and nothing has been really said in the article. This could be for MMOs which is not exactly the same as games with multiplayer-capability.

So, don't get your panties in a bunch just yet.

if anything, i gotta say they gotta start charging eventually.

can you imagine continuing to run http://www.pokemon-gts.net/ for free?

Isn't that called an investment? You basically offer something extra to get people to buy the game (and future expansions) as well as the console.

If it is something like GTS, then its probably worth paying for. I dont know since I dont play Pokemon. But if its for their Friends Code system, charging for that will be equivalent to daylight robbery.

Sounds like DLC to me. Owh guitar hero Wii DLC...

I hate this piece of news, no seriously. Sheesh, they don't leave our money alone, never!

Umm...before I forget, is it a sure that GTC will begin to charge "eventually"?

^ you could tell that to the game. haha. Its not really needed. just as added extras from what i could tell.

The charging would be a good thing primarily, I think. It will up the quality of large scale multiplayer worlds cos it enables the companies to hire staff to moderate and modify the game as long as there are paying customers.

I don't think they'll charge for simple games like Smash Bros or Mario Strikers or anything that's just deathmatch or so. It's just that massive worlds like EVE or WOW can't run unless properly funded, so it's completely reasonable and acceptable for them to have a fee. How much, on the other hand..who knows..


"leaving our money alone"..what the...? Why would you run a business in the first place if you didn't want somebody's money? If you don't want to play online, you don't have to especially if it's too expensive for you. Why would they invest money in developing and maintaining something if nobody's paying for it? For the good of man kind? Kinda far fetched. Pick any company in the world, they ALL share the same objective. To make money. That's the first objective in every single industry. Nintendo, Sony, everyone.

Monster hunter for PSP, there isnt a wifi option in the game itself.
you need adhoc to go online with it.

as for ps2, yes, u need to pay, month about rm30-40, coz im one of the player for the past few years.
