During a recent investor event, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata was asked how much the Wii U service would cost. Iwata said that they considered a few options, but they’re going with unpaid for various reasons.
“Iwata said that he doesn’t necessarily reject the idea of a paid service that allows not just Wii U but various other devices to connect to Nintendo Network,” read a synopsis. “However, when considering Nintendo’s users, a paid membership service is not the best approach. By having everyone use the Miiverse together, word of mouth will more easily spread. This will lead to greater hardware and software sales.”
