In a recent interview with Shegiru Miamoto (correct my spelling), he hinted at if Nintendo should charge for its online service. I personally have to say no about this since Nintendo Wi-Fi isn't really a service worth money. There is little socialization in the service unless it involves Friend Codes or pre-written text, which can hinder games like the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops on onlime multiplayer. In addition, some games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl have seen a lot of lag according to some people. It is fun to get to work with people on Xbox/Games for Windows - LIVE thanks to voice chat, even though there is the occasional pervert/troll/flamer/profanity abuser. Perhaps that is why friend codes were made, but it can hinder strategy. If Nintendo wants to charge for their service, they need to make it a bit more like Microsoft's, such as doing way with friend codes and making
voice chat open. Perhaps restrict friend codes for kids can be good, then have adults open.
